Acclaimed author, Dale Maharidge, sets out to explore the transition of a small rural town that began as a homogenous community descended from Western European immigrants and how it transformed as immigrants from South and Central America moved in.

Using kairos, Mahridge seizes the historical significance of the strike at Farmland, a meatpacking plant, to show how immigration may as well be Denison’s only hope. The Latino immigrants were willing to perform grueling work

I liked the book, however, it wasn't what I expected. I thought it would be a story about Jonathan Mooney's early childhood experiences growing up with learning disabilities. Instead it was a story about Mooney, purchasing a short bus - the symbol of disability and setting out on a journey to find others with similar experiences. I liked the humor and self-reflection depicted in the memoir. I also appreciated the knowledge Mooney shares with the reader about disabilites.

So far of what I have read in Lone Survivor is about a group of four guys who are highly classified Navy SEALS. Meaning they’re the best you can find in the United States military, or even in the world. Being a SEAL takes more determination than anything. They say you can’t break a SEAL for a reason. The SEALS are one of the major reasons why the United States military is so freighting to mess with. The author of the novel, Marcus Luttrell was in Afghanistan along the Pakistani boarder with Mike Murphy, Mathew “Axe” Axelson, and Danny Dietz. They were on a scouting mission for a Taliban target Ahmad Shad, who they’ve been looking to take out for years. On their scout they ran into goat herders who they thought were innocent citizens. Soon after they let the herders go, they all had an entire Taliban military ready to fight.

(page 465)” When I was reading the book I thought maybe there could be a change or maybe she could have sparked a reseince of art and bring in a new culture but instead the town was pretty much the same with not that much change in the town. She feels very defeated that she didn’t accomplish what she really wanted to in that town, in the beginning she had many bright ideads and very creative and with dreams of creating a new culture in the town. At the end of the book all the excitement she had for the future was gone and she just decied to just become a wife and a mother to fit in with the

At the beginning of the novel there are a couple key of events. One being when “Big Tony” helped Michael Oher leave from the ghetto and move to Memphis, Tennessee to enroll into Briarcrest Christian School. Without “Big Tony” Michael would have never had been able to make it out and would have eventually dropped out of school or worse.
