Have you ever felt overwhelmed or frustrated because of a paper? Many people struggle with writing. In Late Nights, Last Rites, Thomas Osborne talks about his difficulty with writing.

In this novel as a soldier in World War II,the author Kurt Vonnegut experienced the bombing of Dresden, Germany, in 1945, while being held in that city as a POW. This one experience seemed to affect Vonnegut significantly during his entire life, as he would return to this topic, writing about it on more than one occasion. His most direct account of this event appears in an undated essay entitled “Wailing Shall Be in All Streets,” in which he vividly describes the physical and psychological destruction he encountered, estimating at the time that more than 130,000 people died in the attack. He also explains how he and the other prisoners were ordered to search for victims in the shattered buildings, extract the bodies, and incinerate the remains. This operation ran smoothly until they began to uncover entire rooms filled with people who seemed not to know what hit them. In an interview just months before his death, Vonnegut compared these victims to people sitting on a tram or a train car. At that point, they had to abort the systematic and humane procedure of removing individual bodies and burning them, using flame-throwers instead in a mass clean-up of the bodies that had begun to liquify. But he also talked about the victims of all ages, covered in rubble up to their shoulders, who appeared to be trying to claw their way out of their shelters as they were dying.

In Laurie Ann Guerrero’s poem “Morning Praise Of Nightmares, One,” the speaker’s use of the poetic elements set a serious tone, use of a paradoxical title, and ambiguous language, yet attention to detail leads you to assess the poem as an interpretation of a vivid dream. The speaker’s image of the human body, between life's lushness, and death’s natural process, highlights a human behavior.

The book NewJack: Guarding Sing Sing by Ted Conover is an profound book to read it gave me a great glimpse of how the prison life really is and how you can put yourself in comparing how Hollywood movies or TV shows displays them. Conover discuss about the history of Sing Sing prison since 1826. It was an authentic and straight forward of how the prison life is especially for those who want to pursue as a correctional officers. It gave two perspectives one from the guards and the other by the inmates. It shows a psychological effects of violence between the guards and inmates within the cell walls also it gave the transformation life in training and life with inmates. What surprise me in the book it only took the recruiters seven weeks training camp during those week they had to “write the use of force, from penal law to “standard of inmates behavior”… there would be tests every Friday, on which we had to score 70 percent or better. We’d have two hours of physical performance test in out last week. We’d learn how to use batons and how to fight hand to hand in a course called Defensive Tactics. We’d have to qualify on a shooting range. Finally, we’d be exposed to tear gas and learn how to fire gas guns (p.23).” The training camp was very similar to a military boot camp. After the seven weeks of training they all went straight to prison work during prison they had to deal with the hardship, stress and chaos surrounding the job of officers and what they go through during

The book, Lament For a Son, written by Nicholas Wolterstorff talks about his pain and grief after losing his 25-year-old son (Joy, 2009). His son died while on a mountain-climbing expedition. Dr. Wolterstorff has several books published during his career as a philosophical theology professor in Yale Divinity. However, he wrote Lament for a Son with a different journal style since it is a personal thing for him. The book is similar to a journal as he narrates the events that happened before and after his son’s death. The emotions expressed in the book are common among people who lose close relatives. What matters is how a person handles the issue. Kubler-Ross invented the five stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptancethat explain the escalation of grief when stricken by bad news (Axelrod, 2004). The paper looks into the book and its relation to the five stages of grief.

In Chapter 3, David Platt talks about a specific seminary graduation requirement that would sound almost impossible to many students of the Word ,here in the United States. He says that before a student can graduate from an Indonesian seminary, the student must “ plant a church, with at least thirty new, baptized believers, in a Muslim community.” This book was written about six years ago when ISIS was barely an organization heard of. Nowadays, being an Indonesian seminary graduate could cost them their life. This is where one experiences life to the fullest meaning of “ beginning at the end of ourselves.”

Personally, I feel that the film ¨Cry in the wild¨ uses different details to explain the book ¨Hatchet.¨ A few reasons I believe this since , in the book “Hatchet” it tells the reader that he sees the tornado, but in the movie, it says he hears the tornado. In the movie, it says he got attacked by the bear twice, instead in the story, it says that he wasn't attacked by the bear at all. It also says that in the movie he helps the two bear cubs, only in the book he didn´t find two bear cubs,he found one bear cub. Those are some of the reason’s why I consider that the movie ¨Cry in the wild¨ explains the book ¨Hatchet¨ in a different details that in the book actually uses. One more statement,

In Martin Luther King Jr. 's seminal 1963 speech "I Have a Dream," King uses a number of critical thinking processes in order to present his argument. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, King delivered a speech that is remembered now as one of the most significant pieces of oratory in the 20th century. His call was for blacks and whites to come together, for blacks to be granted greater freedoms and for America to become a nation of equals. Not only was the speech thought-provoking and emotional, but King 's points were excellently handled and deftly conveyed through his use of

It is well known that the way a story is written has an impact on how the reader understands it. There are certain aspects of a story where the author has the ability to control how it is interpreted. The Dream of the Rood is written so that it makes it difficult for the reader to see the difference between a savior and a warrior. If a story was written simply stating the individual’s goal rather than how that goal was achieved it would be easy to see them as a savior but it could be difficult to see them as a warrior. Presenting literary analysis from different sources will explain how the author portrayed the protagonists as both saviors and warriors and by comparing characteristics of both will explain why they were portrayed this way.
