Zinkoff is like usually the last person picked for athletic teams, his flute consistently hits the wrong note during concerts, and he is occasionally too eager at the wrong times. First grade is when Zinkoff is introduced to school. He loves it, even though he is always seated in the rear of the classroom because his teacher sits students alphabetically. But Zinkoff hits his low point in fifth grade, when his team does not want him to participate in that year's field day because of his horrible performance during last year's proceedings.

Philadelphia is notorious for being an extremely tough sports town. One day, the fan base can think you are the best player in your league, then the next they’re calling for your head and sending you on a bus right out of town. In order to succeed in Philly, you need to be a great athlete and you have to be consistent. Nobody succeeds in Philly by just being “average”. However, “No one in the history of Philadelphia sports has made a successful career off of being an average player better than…”. Who comes to mind? Jason Avant? Carlos Ruiz? Samuel Dalembert? Well the answer is no, no, and no. The answer is Keith “Jonesy” Jones.

Zinkoff is introduced to school in first grade. He loves school even though he is always seated in the back of the classroom because his teacher sits students by the order of their last name in accordance to the alphabet. Zinkoff isn’t the most athletic student at his school and because of it;

If he went on the way he was, losing would become a habit, and he would never be able to pull his weight”(25). Losing becoming a habit is highly true on Keith’s story at this point because he would always tear up crying and act sensitive towards everything. However, it is because of Keith that helps Philip to feel superior and strong since Keith always follows and emulates his older brother. It is a societal stereotype Philip projects towards Keith because as a man, it is believed that man are not supposed to show tears and be sensitive at any given circumstances. Instead, Philip can be noted as the fragile one and Keith being the stronger brother. Although Keith does drive himself into a crevice throughout the book, Philip successfully foreshadows Keith’s disappearance five months later.

Fowler, Sweeney, and Kohlberg are three examples of faith movements. These movements describe the steps of development in our faith and moral code. When Jesus said, “the Kingdom of God is within you” he was making us aware of the relationship we have with God, ourselves, and other.

Finding the true identity and relation with society can be accomplished in many ways. Transcendentalism is a philosophy which says that logic and metaphysical things are more real than typical human experience and material things. In Jon Krakauer’s nonfiction book Into the Wild, he argues that Chris McCandless devotes his life to Transcendentalism because he rejects society and materialism to live individually in the Alaskan Wilderness. Although, McCandless makes mistakes, he shares happiness with the people he meets and impacts their lives.

The modern world is rapidly changing. Events occur and often time’s only one side of the story gets told. But to every event there are multiple way to view it. Take the history of the United States of America for example. In Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen’s book A Patriot’s History of the United States, the United States is viewed in a positive light. It tells the facts about the United States in a strait forward manner. However in Howard Zinn’s book A People’s History of the United States, the United States is generally viewed in a negative light. Zinn highlights how the country has caused problems while rarely admitting that in fact the United States has done more good for the world than harm. While both books are inherently biased based

In the poem based on his own true life events, Shane Koyczan writes "To This Day". The poem shares his life experiences through poetry. To give a summary, the young boy is continually getting bullied in school. Within the poem, symbolism of the army tank resembles an enemy at war. To add, another symbol in the story is spit balls which represent bullets. These symbols are used to show the relationship between bullies and victims. The tank represents an enemy at war because the tank is large and out of place in the school halls. These out of place characteristics are what make the army tank an enemy. The other symbol of bullets represents the spit balls. The bullets are “shot” toward the enemy, or the victim. At school it is not safe for him

It is said that a man can never walk into the same river twice, not because the river is changing- that after all is inevitable-but because the man will never be the same man as he once was. Time, like a river flows in a set direction and once past no amount of nostalgia is capable of reversing its course. Just as it is impossible to reverse the passage of time, it is impossible to retain a past identity. Jennifer Egan’s novel, a Visit from the Goon Squad, is a collection of short stories that each have a distinct voice and style. Although each chapter can stand alone, they are bound together by thematic elements and a complex web of relationships centered around Bennie Salazar a music executive and his assistant Sasha. In this passage Egan’s fifth narrator, Jocelyn, a recovering drug addict and a childhood friend of Bennie Salazar, returns to the Los Angeles home of her teenage love interest, Lou,a man old enough to be her father who drove her into adapting the sex, drugs and rock and roll lifestyle. With Lou on his deathbed, the now forty-three year old Jocelyn reunites with Rhea, another high school friend, and ponders the impact that time has had on their lives. This passage suggests the destructiveness of time on characters and relationships. Using setting, word choice, and personification Egan presents time as truly being a goon.

We’ve always wanted to please the people that surrounds us, whether it is to make our parents proud or just simply as asking others for approval. Little did we know, that we are slowly changing ourselves to fit in and to be recognised right at this moment without even realizing it. Whereas for C.C Baxter, he never intended to fit in, neither does he want to be just another face in the crowd, he wanted to prove that he was worthy for more than just being “one in a million”. But most importantly, Baxter was doing all of this for Ms. Kubelik, the elevator operator that he has a crush on, to prove to her that he is valuable and worthy for her love. Much to his dismay, Baxter wasn’t aware of the fact that Mr. Sheldrake uses his apartment to have his affair with Ms.

Setting place in the early 1950 's, Vanderhaeghe shares a story through Billy 's point of view, a small-town fifteen year old who starts to see the why principles are necessary throughout a series of events. These include: Billy standing up to his father after getting ridiculed for attending the “wrong” church; assessing his teacher, Ms. Clark 's view on why one needs principles; and when he starts to reflect on how Nancy 's principles dictate her decisions and how she reacts to the peer-pressure that Gene, his brother puts upon her.
