Princess Academy is about girls from a mountain called Mount Eskle having to go to an academy and leaving their families. When the girls get to the academy, a lady named Olana teaches them about how to read Danlander History, Commerce, Geography, Diplomacy, Conversation, Poise and Kings and Queens. All of the girls have to learn these subjects because next year the prince is going to pick one of the girls to become his wife. If a girl speaks out of term or breaks any rule, she either gets locked up in a closest or smacked on the palm of her hand; I find that unfair and mean, but maybe if Olana doesn’t do a good job of teaching she'll be put in jail, or something like that.
When I read this book I sometimes think stuff like, "Yes, girls!" or, "No, don’t do that," or, "Wow! You girls are a really good team when you work together!" and other stuff like that.
What do you think about the idea of a girl being punished for speaking out? If we had a rule like that, what do you think our society would be like?
