Chapter two of "The Minority Report" represents many features of the Pre-crime Commissioner John Anderton, but one of his qualities that was obviously found in his character was that his manner was not normal: For instance, he was cautious above all, suspected of his condition and the people around him, the fundamental suspect of Anderton was Witwer with the argument that once he was arrested, the pre-crime would be under his control; For example, when John Anderton understood his behavior, he turned to his better half Lisa, who examines the circumstances with her about how the general population tries to frame him purposefully and perniciously. John Anderton said: “This creature is out to get my job. The Senate is getting at me through him. “Lisa was not accepting what John A. Anderton told her, Lisa hesitantly saying, “It’s not really credible that Ed Witwer …show more content…
He won't need to hold up to the point that I leave." Even subsequent to demonstrating her the confirmation of what Witwer's intention was, which was domain his activity as Pre-crime Head Commissioner and detain him, she would in any case not trust him by any stretch of the
“The Indian presence precipitated the formation of an American identity” (Axtell 992). Ostracized by numerous citizens of the United States today, this quote epitomizes Axtell’s beliefs of the Indians contributing to our society. Unfortunately, Native Americans’ roles in history are often categorized as insignificant or trivial, when in actuality the Indians contributed greatly to Colonial America, in ways the ordinary person would have never deliberated. James Axtell discusses these ways, as well as what Colonial America may have looked like without the Indians’ presence. Throughout his article, his thesis stands clear by his persistence of alteration the Native Americans had on our nation. James Axtell’s bias delightfully enhances his thesis, he provides a copious amount of evidence establishing how Native Americans contributed critically to the Colonial culture, and he considers America as exceptional – largely due to the Native Americans.
Reading, this week and last week about The Freedom Summers Murders by Don Mitchell I have determined to write my blog about my book. Because the book is nonfiction, it educates me about how racism can provoke people to commit homicide.

Such an intense focus has been placed on quarterly earnings as an indication of a company’s success by everyone from analysts to executives that ethics have for the most part been thrown out the window, sacrificed to the all important number, i.e. earnings per share. This is the theory in Alex Berenson’s book “The Number: How the Drive for Quarterly Earnings Corrupted Wall Street and Corporate America.” This number has become part of a game to be played, a figure to be manipulated – beat the number and Wall Street all but throws a parade, miss it and a company’s stock may be abandoned. Take into account the incentives that executives have to beat the number and one can find plenty of reasons to manage earnings.
you, sir, I do not believe it” (Miller70). Even after John’s lechery, she believed that he
John Krakauer’s novel Into The Wild, tells the story of a young man who intends to disappear from society, and contains numerous relatable themes. Although difficult for many to understand his reasoning in doing so, Krakauer intends to demonstrate to readers the positives and negatives of such an experience. Upon thorough examination of this piece of writing, it is possible to truly gain a vast amount of self-knowledge in relation to the text. A tale full of invitations to face ourselves, John Krakauer’s Into The Wild prompts me to examine myself in respect to concepts of great significance such as materialism, conformity, and intimacy.
John Karkauer novel, Into the Wild tells a true life story about a young man
A Brave New World published in 1932 by Aldous Huxley was about a utopian society in which people were placed in castes because of how their embryos were modified. Little did the author know less than a century later the idea of “designer babies” might be a reality. Designer babies are very similar to Huxley’s idea; a person could be genetically altered before they were born. Unlike Huxley’s book, in which embryos were genetically modified due to government industrial control, designer babies’ destinies are determined by parental control. Although, gene alteration can prevent genetic diseases, predetermining genetic outcomes should be illegal because of its negative effects on society; the effect genes have on each other, and the underwhelming success rate.
In his novel Sinclair begins with the story of Jurgis and his family, how they struggled to find money for their own home. Because of their money problems they were not able to keep the house rented to them. Many people of higher rankings and sometimes even those who were just like Jurgis’ family often took advantage of them. Simply because they thought they were better than them. They also discriminated against them because of their background and took advantage of their “American Dream”.
Mikayla has been bullied since she was young. She got punched by a second grader at her first day of kindergarten. Her school life became worse and worse, and she was called “Big Fat Loser” because she was fatter than other students. It was difficult for her to accept the abuses, and she attempted to hurt herself. Bullying is someone uses threats, coercion or force to maltreat or humiliate others. The harmful effect of bullying is it can destroy a person’s life, or even make a person die. In the book, “The Book of Unknown Americans” we see that how Garrett abused Mayor and Maribel and the different views and ways of dealing with the problem of bullying by their parents, and I think the way their parents used to solve the problem is not effective.
In the novel, “The Jungle” author Upton Sinclair manages to embody and portray the harsh conditions and unjust lives of immigrants in the United States. This novel was an importance piece of protest literature because at the current time American capitalism was demolishing whatever was left of the working class. Due to this, journalists, known as “muckrakers at the time”, set out to reveal the brutality implanted into the system. Upton Sinclair was considered one of those muckrakers because of one his famous works, The Jungle, being able to subsume the issues immigrant works tackled because of the unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry and the corruption in the government and business. In essence, The Jungle, fulfilled its
Already I can tell that this book is more difficult than most other novels I have read. It seems as though Roth is in favor of using long sentences and complex vocabulary. I sometimes had to reread sentences a few times because there was difficult vocabulary I needed to look up and the sentences were long. I needed to read each sentence piece by piece to make sure I could understand what the author wanted to convey to the reader. Although the text seemed overwhelming when I read the first few pages; once I began reading sentences in increments I could more easily understand the text.
It’s true base on The Race for What’s Left by Micheal T. Klare and World on the Edge by Lester Brown, throw out the both books, theses authors addressing the same people are facing problems that happening now. Authors influence that the water source having a negative impact on the nation, such as a country like Saudi Arabia's the overuse of the water and waste lots had a negative impact of farming land.

Due to burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gasoline, oil), and other greenhouse gasses are driving a rise in worldwide temperature and causing alterations in the climate system. It’s not only affecting the climate,
On page 112 of The Fault in Our Stars, written by John Green, a character writes in a letter, “…but there is no shortage of fault to be found amid our stars”. This quote captures a major theme in the novel, the idea that humans cannot always be blamed for their demise due to situations beyond the control of humans. The Fault in Our Stars is a rather pessimistic piece in which the title itself serves to emphasize the random cruelty of the universe and stands as a direct challenge to a quote and theme present in Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar. The title The Fault in Our Stars is an obvious reference to Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar quote, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings”.
So The lionfish let him into their secret cave to talk about the plans. The cave was guarded by poisonous dwellers who protected the safety of those inside and guaranteed their privacy supposedly. Gray hit his head on the roof at the entrance of the cave then he had the thought of, would he ever stop growing. He is a megalodon one of the only ones in the ocean.The book is starting to get close to the climax. It is a little mysterious. I like the characters like his best friend Barkley the Dog Fish. He loves to spot the obvious and loves to patrol and get in people's business.
