The Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation, in my opinion was an interesting book to read. The beginning was a bit slow, and I was not expecting to enjoy reading it as I did. I found some points the author made to be exquisitely written, and the book gave me deeper insights into certain aspects of history I had never considered before. I both learned, and expanded on prior knowledge of many historical accounts included in the book. I enjoyed how the author gave both sides of the story. In the beginning of each chapter, he would have the story how we would read it in our text books, and learn in in our history classes. Then, he would give his

In a world that is so unpredictable, sometimes there is nothing else that a person can do to make a situation better besides hoping for a good outcome. Hope can have a big impact on the way people view the world, and can potentially save lives. Hope is communicated in many ways, including a variety of art forms, such as literature. Some examples of literature that show how powerful having hope can be are the novel Soledad Brother by George Jackson, the short story Salvation by Langston Hughes, the short story Superheroes, Just for Each Other by Peter S. Goodman and the article Man Needs Hope to Live, by Christopher Kaczor. These literary works show that even the smallest bit of hope can help a person make wiser decisions regarding his or her future, but having no hope for the future leads people to make choices that are ethically wrong.
