Privilege
By: Kate Brian

For the outside reading about hope I choose to write about the book Privilege by Kate Brian. This book is a series of the the Private series by Kate Brian. In this book the main character Ariana Osgood is sent to the Brenda T. Trumbull Correctional Facility for Women because she murdered one of her classmates, Thomas Pearson. Ariana had a whole plan for her life and it did not include wasting her life in the Brenda T., so she plots to somehow escape and live the life she should have had. Everyday when Ariana is sitting in the Facility she is always hoping she will make it back out into the world some day and eventually she does. I think the book shows that no matter what you hope will happen, as long as you want it bad enough, can happen if you work hard for it. Even though it was a bad thing for most people that Ariana escaped, it was what she hoped for and because she never stopped working for it, it happened for her, and that is what I think Kate Brian is trying to tell the readers.
