Book Analysis: Don T Kill It

"If you can take it, you can make it," Louie's older brother once told him. Those words stuck with Louie for the rest of his life being exercised in a number of circumstances. Unbroken's central idea was perseverance. In every chapter of the book Louie was faced with obstacles that he somehow found a way to overcome. Throughout the book hillenbrand also explored personal and spiritual issues.

Montag continues walking through the morning sun. Nervously, he tries to recite pages from books he remembered before, his memory is dull. It is blocked by the loud ringings of bombs still exploding in his ears. Granger takes a look at Montag.

He walked on the tracks. And he was surprised to learn how certain he suddenly was of a single fact he could not prove. His mind turned to a strange noise he heard behind him. A loud gasping sound overwhelmed his ears and his body slowly turned around. Montag was shocked to see that Beatty was following him. With the flamethrower in hand, Montag walked cautiously towards the man who should be died. They stared at each other for what feels like years but seconds. Beatty falls to the ground with burn marks on a quarter of his body and begins to speak. “You are going the wrong way” Beatty says “You were supposed to turn left 25 yards back.” Montag look confused and asked “Where are you helping me?” “I believe in the same cause as you” said Beatty. Without asking another question, Montag walks to Beatty and reaches out his hand and walked 25 yards.

When a mentor gives you lemons, you make the lemonade. In the book The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, the person most important in Bod Owens’s life is his mentor, Silas. Bod Owens did not have the average teenage life; he was raised by two dead parents who live in a graveyard, and was not allowed to leave the graveyard unless his parents gave him permission. The lady on the Grey is the symbol of death that mentors Silas, which gives her and Silas a similar “job” in their afterlife.

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. This is a famous saying, and it is used many times when you are checking a book. But this saying also works for people. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee writes about life in Maycomb, and how many characters has some rumors that affected them negatively. Harper Lee also sends this message to the readers, that we can not judge people by their cover. We can not judge them by either, race, rumors, etc. Boo Radley, Tom Robinson, and Dolphus Raymond all had bad things said about them. Scout also sees that these people are truly not bad people. The theme is that outward appearances is not always accurate.

Bruce Ballenger has a problem with getting his students to write badly. Something he wishes they'd do, at least at first. Not all of his colleagues share his wishes. On contrary it's not uncommon to hear condemnation of students work. He comments that he thinks there's a bit of elitism among those that do so. Mostly by those that focus more on simple mistakes instead of what the writer is actually saying, maybe it's out of lack of interest.

Walking with his new group, farther and farther away from the city, Montag realized he couldn't just leave his old life the way he did, he had to go back,not only for himself, but for Faber he needed closer. Montag ran back to the river and dove in, fighting the current ever stroke he took until he reached land. Seeing the city destroyed, the town he grew up in, all he could thing about was Faber, Mildred, and Clarrise. Walking down the side walks, fire pouring down buildings in the corner of his eyes, his memories flashed before him as he saw the sprinklers still on in Faber's property. Opening the front door, the handles still silky from the alcohol on them, he saw Faber lying on the ground in the hallway. All Montag could

Ernest J. Gaines story: A Lesson Before Dying, tells the story of a young man and his journey to become a man before his wrongly accused death sentence, and the journey of the people who helped him feel like he was. The story highlights two figures: (delete: higher than any other and that is) Grant and Jefferson, and (add: highlights) their journey together to an unlikely friendship. By comparing and contrasting the book (add: and) the movie, we get a more complete vision (add: of the emotion of the ) story from the book rather than the movie.

For this book analysis, I read the book A Piece of Cake by Cupcake brown. It is a memoir told by Cupcake about her life. She starts the book at age 11, when she was living a normal and pleasant life with her mother in San Diego. She was quite close to her along with her step father (who, at the time, she thought was her biological father), and her uncle. Then out of nowhere, she finds her mother dead in her room and her life is shaken into disaster. The court system had to turn both her and her brother over to her biological father whom she never met, instead of giving her to the man she was raised by. Her father then sent her to a foster home where she was raped and beaten constantly. When she

As a mother of a high school student, I feel as though it is a brilliant idea to let Mr. Ishmael Beah speak to the students. The fellow peers of your school need to value how lucky they are to be in such a sheltered atmosphere. Sensing the indisputable emotions of Mr. Beah telling his story of being a boy soldier is a lesson that should not be passed up. Understanding how atrocious it must have been to fight in a war solely based on supremacy and riches would help these teenagers understand what strength and determination really is.

When the Game Stands Tall “‘This program is not about what you do on the football field. It’s about the journey you take . . . My self-esteem was never tied up in what kind of player I was. I learned that at a young age. My self-esteem was tied up in what kind of person I was.’”

“ ‘I won’t run into anything I can’t deal with on my own.’ ” (Krakauer 6)

The core pages in the Big Book structure their information in a step by step fashion. It begins with Bill’s Story. The story of how Bill started his own journey through alcoholism and became a founding member of A.A. The following chapters target the alcoholic in different areas of their life. Chapter two and three talk about how, through science, spirituality, and personal experience, the founding authors discovered the solution to their alcoholic illness and the ways they could beat it. Chapter four targets the alcoholic who may shy away from the religious or spiritual talk about “God” and how the program handles the idea of God or a “higher power” as those in the group see it. Chapter five and six are the nuts

I feel like most teachers worry more about grades and getting the writing done as soon as possible and not taking their time in helping students gain better writing skills and improve themselves. Students should be able to choose what they want to write about so that we can feel inspired in our writings thus having a better end product for teachers to read and be satisfied with. If teachers are constantly criticizing our writings and telling us what to write about then they never really know what a student’s potential really is because most likely they will rush to try to satisfy the teachers needs than theirs. I also agree that teachers should worry more about a person’s writing than about the mechanics of a paper, however; I also realize that in today’s society free writing isn’t really “approved” in almost every class. In every English class I have had my teachers focused more about the end result that is timing us on essays, and grading our papers based off grammar/mechanics and not the process writing

Books have enormous power, and are essential to society. They allow for the reader to enter new worlds, and view divergent ideas. Each story informs the reader of new ideas and beliefs, and transport them into a world that the author has either experience, or created. It’s because of the great power of books that certain books are looked upon with caution. Books explore things that can either relate to the reader, or confront the beliefs of the reader. A person might finish a book, and feel like their eyes have been opened to a new idea, or they might finish and feel offended by the material in the book. If the book offend a person, they might feel so strongly that they challenge the book by asking for it to be banned.
