Text-to-Text, Text-to-Self, Text-to-World: Scarlett Fever by Maureen Johnson

         My first text-to-self connection is between the main character in my story, Scarlett, a high school girl, and myself. We have a lot of the same qualities. We both are courageous, hardworking, and determined. We both take education seriously. Also, we share the same hair color.

         A text-to-text connection is between The Hunger Games' main character, Katniss Everdeen,who is is similar to Scarlett's older sister Lola. They both are brave, around the same age, and have a deep love for their family.

         A text-to-world connection is that the struggle of finding work as an actor is a common problem that is faced, occurs in the book for Scarlett's older brother, Spencer. Spencer's problem of not finding work caused him emotional distress.
