Mr. Gawande starts his literature on washing hands. He introduces two friends a microbiologist and an infectious disease specialist. Both work hard and diligently against the spread of diseases just like Semmelweis who is mentioned in the chapter. Something I learned, that not many realize, is that each year two million people acquire an infection while they are in the hospital. Mainly because the clinicians only wash their hands one-third to one-half as many times as they should. Semmelweis, mentioned earlier, concluded in 1847 that doctors themselves were to blame for childbed fever, which was the leading cause of

Chapter 5 from On The Rez informs the reader on different cultural as well as historical information regarding Native Americans. Frazier explains historical information that pulls emotion from the reader. Throughout the book, Frazier continues to bring up Native American traditions, conversely, chapter 5 explains situations different tribes went through. Reading chapter 5 in On The Rez has changed my opinion of the reasons behind Frazier’s book.

In the first few pages of Chapter Three, Kingsolver talks about heirloom vegetables and says “these titles stand for real stories.” What is meant by the title is heirloom plants give off seeds that end up being saved and used for many generations (112). Those seeds have history behind them; family stories that span over several years. For example, on page 144 Kingsolver talked about this heirloom seed exchange in Iowa where one of the founders’ grandfather left a pink tomato plant that his parents brought from Bavaria in the 1870s. The seeds are comparable to a family heirloom. Both get handed down from generation to generation and have a story of what the meaning of the object is and how it all got started.

I read the chapter “The Newcomers”, the book first starts off by stating how France started sending explorers to find new lands. When Francis I, (The king of France) sent Jacque Cartier, his job was to find a shipping route and precious gems and metals. Jacque Cartier arrived at Newfoundland and from there journeyed down to Prince Edward Island. Chief Donnacona went with his brother and two sons protest the cross, but the French convinced Donnacona to allow Jacque Cartier to take his two sons Domagaya and Taignoagny. Donnacona told stories to ward off Cartier from going past Quebec City, but soon Cartier went against Donnaconas wishes and past Quebec City and went as far as Montreal. Cartier’s crew got sick with scurvy and died off but he was still alive so he set sail back to France.

Predictions: My predicted of this chapter was that it was going to say the same thing that I was thinking. But guess not. But as I started reading further into the book it give you some interest ways to so what or who care. But my real prediction was that the writer of this book” they say I say “was give us permission to literally saying who care and starting an argument with the writer of the book.

The book “Unbroken” was a seemingly impossible tale of triumph and survival of an Olympic runner and WWII veteran named Louis Zamperini. He constantly had to overcome adversity in his early years, for he was an immigrant from Italy and a trouble maker before his brother Pete steered him into running track. This immediately turned him around as he did well enough to in running to break all sorts if local records, which were accomplished while his competitors were trying to sabotage his runs. This qualified him for the 1936 Olympic in Berlin, where he met Hitler. He still had running aspirations but felt he had no choice other than fighting in the world due to the fact that the 1940 Olympics were

1. Coming out of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, different views of federalism were carried: (1) Alexander Hamilton believed that the national government was the superior and leading force in political affairs, since the people created it and its laws were the “supreme law of the land;” (2) Thomas Jefferson believed that “the people” were the ultimate sovereigns, and since the states was a result of agreement among the states, the states were supreme over the national gov’t.

This book portrays the effectiveness of play therapy on an emotionally disturbed boy named Dibs. Dibs', 5, had been attending a private school for 2 years. Throughout his years in school, he showed no improvement on his behavior. He continued to alienate himself from the other kids, as well as, his teachers. In the beginning, he never spoke nor moved. He then started to crawl around the room observing every item in his way. Dibs' would come in everyday and stand where his mother had left him until one of the teachers took off his coat. He spent most of his time looking at books, as if he could read them. Although, if anyone approached him, he would back into the wall and cover himself. He would scream, push, and sometimes scratch anyone that

Craig Mullaney definitely made many challenges for himself and accepted challenges from others with no questions asked. Being the thriving Valedictorian of his high school class and earning other prestigious accolades he stood out from the other entire student. But at West Point, Mullaney would be intertwined with hundreds of other classmates with the same, if not more achievements, making it seemingly impossible to be any kind of a predominant student.

Erich Fromm, the author of the “Afterword” in the Signet Classic edition of 1984 States: “George Orwell’s 1984 is the expression of a mood, and it is a warning. The mood it expresses is that of near despair about the future of man, and the warning is that unless the course of history changes, men all over the world will lose their most human qualities, will become soulless automatons and will not even be aware of it.” The Afterword of 1984 serves as a warning for present day and for the future to avoid this society that Winston and Julia were trapped and exposed to. It also discusses how unless the world avoids history repeating itself, future people could potentially be transformed into these brainwashed individuals that we see in the novel 1984. Erich Fromm describes many examples that display different types of utopias/thought controlled societies, and discusses the psychological aspects that shape a society.
