Harris And Me Book Report

How does the idea of lost hope or hopelessness, futility, pervade this story? Give examples of characters that have no hope, or have lost it, and show why this idea is so universal in this book. Explain why the little farm is a vision of utopia, and why it is impossible to reach. Why do the characters know they won't get it?

This book is a very good book. It is not one of my favorite books, but it is in, or somewhat close to, the top ten list. It has an intriguing story and has some humor in it to make sure that it isn’t all mellow.

7) I can imagine myself re-reading this book again in 10 years because this book is amazing and it is perfect for teenagers and young adult readers. This book is griping and beautifully written. When reading this book you get thrown into the apocalyptic setting. I would recommend this book to my friends because I loved it and all the other books in the series. It’s just great.

As Vance writes his book he provides an honest testimony of his life. He writes about difficult parts of his life that were no doubt hard to relive let alone write. Vance is an honest analysis of his own life and the lives of hillbillies because he retells painful truths from his past. He is honest because he writes scenes that not only paint his closest loved ones as less than appealing at times, but he also paints himself that way. He includes scenes about his much loved, respected, and revered for grandparents that shows that they weren’t perfect. “I'd like to tell you my grandparents thrived in their new environment, how they raised a successful family, and how they retired comfortably middle-class. But that is a partial truth. The full truth is that my grandparents struggled in their new life, and they continued to do so for decades.” (30) This is not the first or last time that Vance gives an honest assessment of himself and those around him, telling the painful truths about their shortcomings. He tells scenes that most people wouldn’t want to remember or have other people associate with their family. He talks about the parts that he admires like the hillbillies fierce loyalty, and he talks about the things that he wishes he could change, like their learned helplessness. It is J.D. Vance's honesty about the good and bad parts of his culture that help

They say that opposites attract and this holds true for the relationship between William and Hester as they learn more about one another. The husband and wife came from different upbringings. William is born with a strict father among the “Back Creek Folk”, while his wife is considered “one of the Gap people” with flexible, supportive parents. The way their parents raised them influences the way they act. William is a hard worker who speaks very little, but his wife Hester does enough talking for the both of them. Hester is a strong woman and manages the family farm very well. She is able to make decisions quickly without William’s input. The farm is considered to be most prosperous in Mcpherson County. The couple’s three sons work on the

It is scary when you don’t know anybody and have to try to make new friends. Many of your young childhood friends will stay with you for a lifetime. Today, I am still friends with many of my oldest friends. They have become like family. I want to say that this novel is a great way for people to see how somebody from a diverse population lives. It is a great book from the view of somebody living a completely different life than I have lived. I think it was very well written and is easy to read. This makes it a great teaching tool for children of younger age groups or college students as well. I read this entire book at one sitting because it kept my interest the entire time. I couldn’t wait to see what

I think you should continue to make 7th graders read this, because it’s a very good book. I like how it shows how you should love your family and always keep your promises just like how Billy kept his promise to his dogs.

S: Page 132 is about a story of a family that lost their child due to the baby being premature.

Having read the book “Animal Farm” I thought it was a good book with a lot of similarities that I could tie it in with reality. I also thought the author explained behavior very nicely. During this book lots of things happen that are much like reality, like tyrants, fake power, and lots of lying. To start off I will tell you about the main characters, and second what they will accomplish during their time in animal farm. I will also discuss what they want whether they're innocent or they lie to be in power.

A packed Cramton Auditorium is filled with Students, Faculty Members, and fans of the New York Times best seller “Between the World and Me”. “Between the World and Me” was written by Ta-nehesi Coates and tells the story of America’s racial history.

I don’t like the way the government treats people in this book. The government is too controlling. In the book you are only allowed two kids per family. The government can see everything you are doing on a computer or hear what you say when you are calling someone. They can also make you do what they want. For example if they need more land they can take yours, or if they

Evaluation: Although the dialect of some of the characters takes some getting use to, I enjoy this book. This is an American classic, filled with humor but critical of people who can be so civilized and so cruel at the same time. It is a boy’s adventurous coming of age that celebrates the individual spirit of America and the romantic vision of innocence and virtue in nature.

Animal farm is a book that describes the harsh reality of inequality and injustices towards people of different races in the form of animals on a farm. In a fictional world, talking animals on a farm overthrow the owner, Mr. Jones, and drive him out of his own farm. These shockingly human animals have many of the characteristics that humans have, notably greed and social class differences. In Animal Farm, the revolution and rule of the animals is used as a metaphor to show how corrupt power can lead to inequality and unfair social classes.

Beep! Beep! Beep! I rolled over and stopped my alarm that was going off at one in the morning; I had to get up because it was time to check our cows. It was late January and all of our cows started having their calves. Every three hours the cows need checked so everyone in my family had their turn. Now that it was my turn, I crawled out of bed and got dressed to go out into the dark of the night to see if we get to bring another baby calf into this world. I have grown up on a farm with 9,000 pigs, 40 cows, 6 hunting dogs, and 150 acres of alfalfa which requires work that is usually never easy. I have been an active part of the routine care of these animals ever since I was four years old. Living on a farm has helped me learn more about life than most could ever imagine. In Father Boyle’s “Tattoo’s on the Heart” we learned how he gave the homies opportunities that most would never get the chance to have and in order to succeed, you must have failure. Growing up on a farm is an opportunity that most never have, it is like being an outcast. I couldn’t imagine a day in the homies shoes, and they couldn’t imagine a day in mine but we at the end of the day we can all relate to and are all thankful for getting second chances, new opportunities and learning how to forgive.

In the beginning of the book, the farm’s owner, Mr.Jones comes home and goes straight to bed. Knowing that they are safe to congregate, the animals meet in the barn, listening to a lecture from a pig named Old Major. He tells his comrades that he had a dream in which they were free from humans, and all animals were equal. He also taught them a song about animals becoming free
