One way that authors attempt to get their readers to think about the environment is by drawing attention to the fact that people harm it. For example, in “The Dark Side of the Perfectly Manicured American Lawn: Is It Giving You Cancer?” the author talks about the common herbicide 2,4-D and writes, “At first, its impact on humans seems mild—skin and eye irritation, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, stiffness in the arms and legs,” (Jenkins, 2016). In the event that these symptoms aren’t off-putting enough, the author then claims that 2,4-D can actually cause cancer in humans because it stimulates extremely rapid cell growth (Jenkins, 2016).

Are Dally, Johnny, And Ponyboy really heroes? What is a hero? A hero is someone you look up to. Not necessary from a lot of people. It just takes one person to think that. A hero is a person you trust. Someone who is courageous. And Dally, Ponyboy and Johnny are just that. Dally is the type of person that is in jail all the time. Johnny has a rough background. He gets beaten by his dad and his mom doesn’t care. Ponyboy just lost his parents 6 months ago and now he is just lives with his two big brother. A hero isn’t someone you see flying across the sky and that has some special super power. They do things other people would never do. But how can those greasers be heroic?

Mike Clark started riding horses when he was a young boy. His father was working the fields with the tremendously powerful draft horses Mike would ride on their backs. Ever since then he had wanted his own horse for riding. It was an ordinary day in 3rd grade for Mike Clark. He had been in Mrs.Kruschels class learning away. The school day was completely normal everything just as it usually was learning all the subjects, but of course he was thinking about horses and how he would love his own. The end of the school day came fast. Next thing he knows he’s on the bus on his way home ready to make that exhausting one mile walk home, but to his surprise his mom was waiting for him when he got off the bus. He hopped in the old Chevy pickup, as he and his mom were headed home to their beautiful farm; the only thing on his mind was to get something to fill his stomach as soon as they got out of the old pickup he started to run for the house.

A world in which old men can be degraded and abused, a world in which people wearing dirty, unwashed, striped uniforms are not seen as being oppressed, a world in which a starving boy of identical age yet vastly different physique is seen as simply being unfortunate - such a world cannot exist. Or can it? In the world of Bruno, this is precisely the way the world is.

Some people believe that certain individuals are better than others. They were not born thinking this but were told this later in life. This book is a great example of someone who believes everyone is equal. In The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, the main character, Bruno, moves with his family for his father’s new job at Auschwitz. Bruno can see the camp but does not know who is there or what is going on. This changes when he goes over and meets a prisoner named Shmuel who is the same age. Their friendship is the only thing keeping Bruno from wanting to leave. In this book, John Boyne teaches the reader that people are equal, no matter how different their backgrounds are.
