Analysis Of The Book ' Fall Arrives '

It was a regular sunday morning around 6 a.m. when Mrs. Robinson was taking her daily run in the morning. She jogged around the perimeter of the neighborhood at a fair speed while she pondered her plans for the day. Would she go grocery shopping, would she go out with some friends, or would she just stay at home and continue to grade papers, as she was a school teacher. These thoughts were brought to an abrupt halt when she saw something very peculiar in the corner of her eye. She approached what appeared to be a hunched over figure next to one of the rose bushes that lined the fence of the neighborhood. As she got closer, she realized what it was.

Imagine becoming an orphan at the age of thirteen, having to take care of your seven-year old sister with an older brother fighting in the war. Haswell Magruder experiences these hardships, along with starvation, arrest, and figuring out how he will make due without a parental figure around. The novel Hear the Wind Blow, is an interesting story that vividly describes every event to the reader, accurately informs them of the troubles many people endured during the Civil War, and constantly keeps them on the edge of their seats. The author, Mary Downing Hahn provides a peek into the world not only through words but through an actual map of Virginia, where the events take place.While the map was very helpful, the words in the book still express dramatic feelings, actions, and words of the characters in this “fast-paced compelling read.”

Harvest depicts a black teenager, Angel who is socially discriminated because of her race. In the story, Evans represents unequal treatment people often get based on race. This clearly gives the idea of ongoing racism in our society. Evans tries to make readers aware that such discrimination could be the root to even more problems. She implies that racial discrimination is not necessary and should be put to a halt.

The book written by Joel Spring was based on the constant derogation and the oppression of the people that were not considered “white”. The constant segregation between races caused many fights for equal rights among Native Americans, African American, Asian and Hispanic people. The conflict was never easy because the United States demonstrated an ethnocentric attitude, which caused the idea of deculturalization for many of the incoming immigrant races. The book demonstrates accuracy in many of the historical struggles between education, language, culture lands, and equal rights for a voice among the people in the United States.

Dry September is a story where citizens of a Jefferson, Mississippi have heard a rumor that Will Mayes, a black man has raped a white woman named Minnie Cooper. The story explores the reactions of the town’s citizens as this rumor is spread.

He first emphasizes how ample and bright the place is. He also narrates how there are “poisonous particles… as motes in sun-beams, into the lungs” (40). He expresses how suffocating this place is with a cough (14). The fact that the women don’t cough and are “used to it” is like saying they don’t breathe anymore. He describes the women as the “blank-looking girls, with blank, white folders in their blank hands” (12). He portrays these women as cadavers being preserved in this cold place, like a morgue. He says, “…face pale with work, and blue with cold; an eye supernatural with unrelated misery” (11). He is intentionally making the reader feel they are dead alive through the description of a physical death, then a social and emotional death.

In the reading “throwing like a girl” by James fallows he describes the differences between the Clintons throw during a baseball game. He explains the right way to throw a baseball, and the ways an individual should not throw a baseball. To my understanding, Fallows is trying to explain the correct way and the incorrect way to play/throw a baseball, especially in such a big game, where there are thousands of people watching. To my understanding he uses the phrase “throwing like a girl” referring to the Clintons photographs due to both of the Clintons not throwing the ball the correct way. In the images it shows how both of them are not holding the balls correctly, one has the elbow way low than it should be, and the other a little higher.

The discovery of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania in the late 1700s led to the development of a robust coal industry in the eastern part of Pennsylvania that grew rapidly and contributed greatly to the history and the economy of Pennsylvania. The book The Face of Decline written by Thomas Dublin, Walter Licht, provides a well written historical and personal account of the discovery, growth, and finally the collapse of the anthracite coal industry in Pennsylvania in a chronological format. Half way through the book one starts to notice some changes in the authors format to cause and effect. The change occurs in order to discuss the cause and resulting effect of events in the region and the solutions. The story is one of great growth and opportunity in the early years which are highlighted by the documented economic growth experienced and supported through testimony within the eastern Pennsylvania coal region. After a period of economic prosperity and community growth from 1900 through 1940 challenges began to erode and occur that created problems for the community and the economy that the coal industry provided. Finally the region’s economy suffered horrendous losses as described by interviews of local residents and families who lived and experienced the rise of the region’s economy. Many of the scars are still evident by the blight and decaying scenes one would experience by traveling through the region’s communities that once fueled the American economy with the energy

In the book A Long Way Gone the children are being stripped of their childhood. They do not get to experience the carefree childhood that most children have. They deserve to be having fun with their families and and not be scared and alone while being dragged into the war. A quote from the book that really explains how the children are living a stressful childhood is “I was afraid to fall asleep, but staying awake also brought back painful memories.” These children should not be sleep deprived nor terrified to fall asleep, this will cause growing problems for the child. They will not have all the physical and mental growth they need in life especially if they constantly stressed. Another example of them not having a carefree childhood is they’re

“Unwind” is a fiction book about a world where kids are taken apart, and their body is used as spare parts for other people. There is some background stating that there was a second civil war fought about reproductive rights, but no real reason as to why the war started. Currently in society abortion is a sore topic for many people. Today, “unwanted babies” are killed before birth. This is known as abortion. However in the book abortion is outlawed, but unwinding was perfectly fine. Unwinding is when parents sign an order to have their child’s body parts given to a donation center while they are between the ages of 13-18. My question is how is this a better solution than abortion? By the time the kid grows up to be 13 the parents are going

Every story that begins must eventually come to an end, and that is true for both literary and commercial fiction. In literature, there are three types of endings an author can provide within their writings: a happy end with the protagonist’s conflict resolved, an indeterminate end where the resolution is inconclusive or undefined, or an unhappy end where the conflict is not resolved at all. These three types of endings can be found in both types of fictions, with literary fiction characteristically possessing unhappy endings, and commercial fictions ending more on a happier note. In Tobias Wolff’s story of “Hunters in the Snow”, the author clearly depicts an unhappy end resulted through his characters, conflict, and overall story
