Ben is the main character in the Novel ‘Two Wolves’. Throughout the novel, written by Tristan Bancks, Ben goes through some significant changes, both mentally and physically. One of the major problems he sees in his life, involves his perceptions of his physical appearance and the way he feels about himself. Ben’s story is one that also involves nature. Throughout his journey, he develops a different frame of mind towards nature, which is for the better. A lot of the story also revolves around family. What is family? Does family matter?

It’s not in the storytellers’ favor to pick sides and persuade the audience that either character’s motives are correct. Due to this, the argument takes an unbiased approach allowing the reader to give the storyteller credibility. Tone alsotakes a major role in this essay. In the beginning of the story the tone appears to be humorous. Parker’s intellect and positive attitude give the reader the feeling that the situation will be resolved. Parker goes to talk to his son on a respectful level so that he can have a chance to persuade Ben to straighten his life out. When he arrives at Ben’s tone takes a shift in a pessimistic direction. The problem is that he is embarrassed that his son who had only one more year left at Colombia has dropped out and done nothing with his life. Because of this embarrassment Parker fails to show his son respect as he continues to indirectly make fun of him. With Parker’s inability to show respect, the reader finds out a weakness in Parkers seemingly perfect lifestyle. Ben then also chooses to take a rude approach to his father’s conversation. He answers all of Parker’s questions in the simplest form possible and in some cases changes the subject to avoid the question. As a result of their stubbornness and unwillingness to except each other, Ben becomes angry and Parker shows signs of frustration. Once again tone has another shift, going from a slim chance to salve the problem to no chance. Parker

In chapter 9 of Adam Benforado Unfair, our author is endeavoring to understand what drives society to punish criminals. Thought-out the chapter Benforado offers us examples of ways our need to retaliate drives how and who we punish. In order to try and validate his conclusion, Benforado offers us results from experiments conducted on animals due to their lack of knowledge to be deterred by a human killing another animal. For example, Benforado writes “when we hunt down and kill a shark that has attacked a swimmer, we can’t fool ourselves into thinking that the other sharks are somehow able to learn of the death, comprehend that it is punishment for killing a beachgoer, then alter their behavior in the future to avoid similar punishment “. There for he believes that we can affectively disregard the notion that the public punishes in order to deter.

I am going to blatantly honest with you, Benjamin Radford makes discovering a possibility of a new species seem so boring. In all honesty I sometimes feel as if he takes his sweet time to get to the conclusion of his findings. Maybe it is because I hate scientific articles maybe it’s because I hate finding out that the goat sucker doesn’t really exist. I don’t know, but criticism of the book aside, there is not much you can say about how credible a source is when you are hunting down a cryptid. What chapter five and chapter six mostly consisted of was Radfords retelling of eyewitness encounters with the elusive beast. My biggest problem with this book is that Radford is looking for this creature but he’s doing it in a half ass job. To me it
