There were a few points in this book that taught me about life and how crazy it can be sometimes. The photographer named Fulgencio was very afraid of hitch hiking to Mexico City with a stranger, especially with all of us expensive equipment. On the ride, Fulgencio is so paranoid that the guy is going to kill him, he grabs a machete out of the back of the truck. In doing so he gets kicked out of the car and loses all of his photography equipment anyways. This taught me that we need to trust each other more, Just because there are a few crazy people in the world, we shouldn't let them give us all a bad name. I mean, the guy picked Fulgencio up when he was in desperate need of a car, and gives him a ride. He should have been thankful, not picked up a machete and threaten the guy. Another thing this book taught me was that just because your sister doesn't want your kid anymore because she

A Long Walk to Water is a book about a young refugee named Salva Dut. Said boy was also part of the Lost Boys of Sudan, a group of over 20,000 boys displaced and/or orphaned during the Second Sudanese Civil War. Salva found himself joining group after group along the way, as he had been separated from his family. He faced many challenges, ranging from loved ones dying, crossing dangerous terrains, and having to travel far distances seeking security. His sheer determination and willpower urged him on in these circumstances, as well as some other key factors I will not be elaborating upon.

The tittle of the book was misleading because I thought it was going to be about nature, but once you finish the book you realize it’s about surviving in the “wild”. Survival in the United States isn’t easy especially when you are an immigrant. The author did achieve the books purpose because once the book was published the FDA had a new law on sanitation. The writing the author used was extremely effective because practically every chapter was about the struggles Jurgis is going through and

This summer, I chose to read A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah for my nonfiction book. I chose to read this book for a very good purpose. My entire life, I have been told that I am very fortunate to have the luxuries that I have every day. I knew this was true and that I was very lucky, but I never really understood the full truth of how the other people lived; the people that were not as fortunate as me. This book gave me a very good insight to the daily struggles of living in a poor, dangerous environment.

A kid separated from his family and put into a war front at the age of 12 change this kids life forever. In A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Solider, Ishmael Beah was put through a lot during the cold war in Sierra Leone, and he was given drugs and pills to keep his energy to fight in the war and he was turned into a killer. There where lots of people killed and torture and Beah was just a kid and he was ver frightened and confused about everything. Also Beah and his friends travel around the country for years trying to survive the war and figure out ways to find there way to safety. The theme of the book is no matter what don't give up on yourself because if you give up on yourself your already bound for failure and the during the hole story Beah used resilience to keep on going and not give up.

-This book is a memoir focusing on the hardships of Frank McCourt’s childhood and his mother’s (Angela’s) difficulty raising children neck deep in poverty. This book would be a good choice for me because the story gives people another perspective on life for those who are poor.

In conclusion, I thought it was a very well written book and I enjoyed reading it. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. The book is very helpful in giving a relatable version of life during this time. Although you don't need to be obsessed with this topic, the book would be more enjoyable for people who are interested in the Revolutionary

Linda Sue Park wrote the novel, ”A Long Walk to Water” in 2010. This story is based on a true event, This event is about two young adults and stories are interwoven but it is in the middle of Sudan. Salva is in the middle of a sudanese war in the 1980’s and Nya is set in current day. In Sudan both young adults have to survive in harsh conditions like war, disease, lack of purified water and high temperatures.

My conclusion about this book is that it was another experience, I experienced it in another way than I experience other books. At some points it was difficult for me to understand it but with the descriptions that the author give I could understand the story. The fact that this a book about the experiences of Tim O’ Brien it makes it very powerful and I liked it very much.

Children of War is a book that goes to several of family's that had been in Iraq as the war was going on and states what they went through, and how hard it was to live and survive there. Each family had described how that each night they were scared as the American Soldiers would come around home to home and would bust down the door and search the house and would put all the men on the ground as they searched for weapons or things from terrorists. A few things that I didn't like was how it would tell about a family's life and explain and go through it then jump to another family it was really hard to follow along and had to pay really close attention to see what family you were reading about. Something that really had shocked me while I was reading this book was the kids reactions to Americans after they been through the war and they moved to safety. One family there had been a daughter and her family moved to America and they lost their father and she had said she would not cause any trouble so that her mother would be happy and not depressed, she could not stand the American kids or people. The family had been upset that the American troops went to Iraq and bombed and have war when we're trying to

I like the book as the author didn’t provide any suggestions on how to improve the livelihood of the people of Annawadi but she left it in the hands of the Annawadi’s

It was the summer of 2008 in southern California when a mere eight college students were exposed to the true horrors of the global water crisis. After they learned that 1.1 billion people were suffering from a serious lack of safe and clean drinking water, these college students had raised an astounding $1,700 on their own. They had been able to raise a good amount of money for a community to have safe and clean drinking water. What more could they do? However, schools began to reach out to these eight college students. That was when they realized that there were so many organizations that spoke and helped with the water crisis, yet none of them were targeted towards the youth.

Over the course of a few centuries, industrialization has taken over and technology has been very adamant in the society. Although proven helpful, these advancements left us to confront an uncertain future because of the threats of environmental and economic collapse, over-population, terrorism, and diseases that was brought about by these new equipment and machines that due to irresponsible handling led to worse effects. There have been efforts by our governments and institutions that have tried to battle these problems but were just proven inadequate. The greatest irony in the world we are in right now is we have solutions to the current situation but these solutions often lead to worse problems. This is where social entrepreneurship comes in.
