My independent novel is the The Journal of Curious Letters by James Dashner. It is the first book in a series called The 13th reality. The plot of the book is very interesting, it features a 13 year old boy, Atticus ‘Tick’ Higginbottom. In school he gets picked on because of his size. Tick has received a mysterious letter with a return address from Alaska. The letter said that he was picked and he would receive a total of 13 letters each containing at least one clue, he has to do a certain thing at a certain time and place. The story is mainly about Tick’s bumpy journey figuring out the riddle and the people and things he meets and does along the way. I have enjoyed the story so far. In the following paragraphs I will evaluate Tick’s significant

My name is Taylor Howell and I attend Sanford High school in Hockessin, Delaware. I have just recently read one of your top novels Foul Trouble. Foul Trouble was such a suspenseful book but yet a life lesson teaching novel that I would encourage any teenager to read. Foul Trouble was about a star basketball player named Terrell Jamerson. He is one of the best in the nation for high school basketball with his teammate and best friend Danny Wilcox who is also shining with him but feels not appreciated. They try to get through the popularity and the gates of being caught with narcotics this could make Terrell and Danny not eligible to be recruited by colleges and change their lives for the worst. However, Danny is caught in the shadows of Terrell and it makes Danny feel as though he is not as important as Terrell on the court. I was looking for a book that would teach life lessons and also have a very vigorous climax and foul trouble was the perfect match. I would never have thought that Foul Trouble would have that powerful of an effect on me as it did and how that one false step could change your whole career.

My family always felt that knowing one 's history was of the utmost importance. Binders and books track my maternal heritage through centuries; however, my paternal side kept oral records of our heritage, so much of it was lost through the generations. Determined to find the lost information, my father and I took it upon ourselves to create our own genealogy report and dug through different documents to back trace our ancestry. It was then we discovered Thomas Glass, a Native American also known as Tagwadihi (Catawbakiller) or Chief Glass of the Chickamauga tribe in the early nineteenth century. Desperate to know more about this man, we discovered a journal that gave detailed descriptions of who he was and what he did. That journal is called the Journal of Major John Norton of 1816. This memoir gives glimpses into knowing one of my ancestors, reading from his friend 's perspectives and sharing in the interactions of a family member long since perished and otherwise unknown. From reading it I discovered the wonderful ethnographic data that it embodied. Norton 's descriptions of his acquaintances in the Cherokee nation "are frequently supported and never contradicted by historical records" and historical figures who were briefly mentioned in Cherokee documents become fully-developed in his journal (Klinck lxvi). However it raises questions as to where this journal belongs. Does it belong in Native American Studies, historical studies, or literary studies? Does John Norton have
In summary I think this book would be a great book to go on the Carey booklist because it has such unusual but effective style of writing which many Year 9’s would benefit from the exposure to. It also gives today’s
The Germans used propaganda to make Jews look bad. They did this because Hitler did not like them and he got people to like his ideas, therefore people where so desperate to get out of the way life was then, so when Hitler said he could fix Germany many people liked him and the way to fix Germany was to get rid of the Jews. So they had many ways of using propaganda and they did it every will along with that they many methods they used to make kids and adults and kids think oh Jews bad they need to go. So this paper is how Germany used propaganda to make people think that Jews are bad. Along with how propaganda effect Eva Abraham.
For now, I'll set aside considerations of why The Goal is a novel, how effective it is as a book, whether it succeeds as literature, and so on. This article is primarily about the ideas behind the book, and why some are valuable while others are probably quite useless.
The famous book The Maze Runner by James Smith Dashner, is the famous story about a young man named Thomas who wakes up in the middle of a metallic box that serves as an elevator with no memory of his past, the box opens up to a place called “the Glade” with 60 other boys staring back at him as he tries to run away pass them. Every thirty days a new boy or supplies arrive from the box and for three years they have lived together trying to find clues through the maze that surrounds them; but as they start losing hope it all changes when something unprecedented happens and a girl along with a note arrive through the box. The book along with amazing imagery and relevance to today’s world manages to attract more than just teenagers but anybody that is up for the challenge of the maze, and that is just the purpose of this paper to demonstrate multiple reason of why this book not only deserves to be read but it should hold a place in the literary canon.
This book is really related to what teens now in days should really start thinking about instead of just focusing in themselves. I`ll Be There really makes you think and that is what I really like in a book. The feelings that the narrator describes are really bright and outstanding and make you feel them while reading. One thing I liked about this book was that when there are two characters separated you read about both and don't leave one out. When Sam and Riddle and the bell family were separated the book stated how the bells felt and their actions. Also when Sam and Riddle were abducted by there dad and spent weeks in the wilderness. A particular saying that helped me imagine Sam was that he did not know nothing about electronics or about socially connecting. Although the book was wonderful it also had some bad points the characters were not described physically but mentally. While reading the book i had to imagine how they looked just by knowing how they were mentally described. Even Though it has that effect I really would like to read the sequel Just Call My
The Aspern Papers by Henry James illustrates a classic opposition throughout the story: the underestimation of the old by the young. The narrator, Aspern’s publisher, sets himself to the task of retrieving several mysterious “papers” from a former lover of his idol, and goes in with the easy confidence of a young man who never dreams that anyone, much less an elderly lady, could be not one, but in fact several, steps ahead of him at all times in his hunt for literary gold. The relationship between Miss Bordereau and the narrator is that of the cat and the mouse, with the narrator believing he is the cat, and Miss Bordereau knowing that she has the upper hand by the simple fact of possession. The narrator
Rowley and Greg are not the most popular kids in school ¨I´ve been trying to be a lot more careful about my image ever since i got to middle school¨ (Kinney 18). The book is very well wrote if you are looking for a funny exciting book that is not boring to read. Its like every other kids life he has an older brother that likes to pick on him named Rodrick and an annoying little brother that gets whatever he wants his name is Manny ¨When I woke up this morning and went downstairs there were about a million gifts under the christmas tree. But when I started digging around , there were hardly any gifts with my name on them. But Manny made out like a bandit. He got every single thing he circled in the catalog¨ (Kinny 120). So over I enjoyed reading and writing about Diary of a wimpy kid it was a fun read not too hard or not to easy i am really looking forward to the next books. I enjoyed how the book also had pictures if you didnt understand what they meant in the reading it helped to look at the pictures to get a better understanding. So I did like this book and i give it a great review and would recommend this book to a person that likes a fun quick
The death penalty is a very controversial subject for everyone, especially in the US. Some people think that it should be abolished and others think that it should stay a part of the government’s form of punishment. People think that the death penalty is a good way to deter crime because it should scare the person who is committing the crime. Some also feel that keeping the death penalty will cut down on government costs. The opposing side believes that the crimes would happen with or without the death penalty around. The different methods bring up many other issues as in are they humane or are they inhumane. Another argument they bring up is what is killing someone for killing someone teaching?
Police corruption is a problem that has and will always impact us all. It has always existed and has changed policing in several dramatic ways. However, one simple element of corruption has always been apparent. It’s never NOT happening. Unfortunately, police corruption is an on going problem that isn’t slowing down. In fact, in the past decade, with the rise in drug cartels entering the untied states, corruption with police and drug lords have sky rocketed within the DEA alone (Washington Post, 2003: p 4).
