The book Unbroken is the compelling story of Louis Zamperini and his life that was full of trials and tribulations.

He was really unmotivated in his early years but developed a lot of street skills growing up in a poor immigrant family.

Chapter 13 was about how most writing is political. It was about how writers secretly put their political point of views into their stories. Usually political writing is boring and vague. Some writing is more political than others, but nearly all writing is political on some level.

Almost all writing is political. It can even come in the form of everyday situations

I’m not really involved or extremely interested in politics, I never really have been. When I realized this book was going to be a book about politics I wasn’t too happy. Then I actually read the book and realized that hearing the stories

Nearly all writing contains political elements, because an author usually includes the world around them when writing. Authors will embrace society in their writing by showing the political injustices, such as civil rights, power structures, different classes in the society, and many more. When authors bring in what’s going on around them into their writing, they are most likely bringing in political elements as well.

A writer should use politics to help and explain the work, and not revolve the work around the politics. (Foster 116). The novel uses politics as an explanatory mechanism to convey the actual societal problems in the world while using it in the hospital. But political writing can be entertaining when writing about human problems: social and political. (Foster

“Choosing a Map for Life,” by M. Scott Peck, “The Allegory of the Cave,” by Plato, The Truman Show and “Salvation” by Langston Hughes describe the true reality in our world. They make us think about wherever that is true or false. Also, in order to find the truth, we have to get out, discover the world around and revise it.

“Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie first appeared in “The Most Wonderful Books: Writers on Discovering the pleasures of Reading.” Sherman Alexie is a well-known Native American writer that publishes short stories, novels, and poetry. Out of the three narratives, I found myself connect with this story more than the others. Alexie tells us about his childhood as an Indian boy that grew up on the Reservation. His father was a big reader so as a kid he’s always had an interest in books and eventually it became a passion. As he advanced in reading at an early age, peers would have difficulty with the content that he’s already achieved. Other kids would frown upon him because it was out of the ordinary for an Indian to be smart. Children on the Reservation were expected to be unsuccessful, but Alexie refused to let himself fail. Throughout his obstacles in life, he ended up becoming a writer and now, visits the Reservation to make sure children get as much education as possible. Reading saved his life and he believed it could save theirs as well. Sherman Alexie uses multiple techniques throughout his narrative to inform the audience about how he saved his life through literacy by tieing in his personal perspectives.

The book I chose to reflect on is The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen. The book focuses on a character named Jessica who was a star runner who suffers a tragic loss of her leg from a car accident. She goes through a journey of struggling and hardship, but fights through it with the help of her track team.

Sometimes I read something and I would think “hey that makes sense, i like that” but then I would counter myself and tell myself that I don’t believe that. I didn’t know where I stood and that really bothered me. I felt like having a strong set of political ideas was incredibly important when finding who you are, and I had none. I felt

Everything that we do requires words. Even when we think we create our memories out of words. One reason why we do not remember stuff when we are young is because we don’t have the words to put the information into to store it. Writing is very important because writing means everything, and if we didn 't have writing, we wouldn 't be able to spread ideas. The local and world news are in writing also so we need to be able to read the information. Also directions on how to use something or directions to go somewhere for transportation are also written in words. It is unimaginable how many roles writing plays in our lifestyles and we don’t even think about it.

The Capital Punishment is important for consideration is intergovernmental relations. This paper analyzes this particular policy issue in New Jersey and compares it to other states. I will introduce the policy, followed by an analysis. I will discuss how it is cheaper for New Jersey to hold inmates in maximum security versus putting a criminal to death. I will compare the difference between California, Texas and Florida and how it costs these three states so much money to keep their death penalty policy active. Finally, I will provide recommendations in regards to the implementation of the death penalty.

Diversification is entering the new markets with new products and different from those in which the firm is currently engaged in. It is helpful to divide diversification into ‘related’ diversification and ‘unrelated’ diversification. Related diversification is when a business adds or expands its existing product markets. The company starts manufacturing a new product or through new market related to its business activity. For example, a phone company that adds or expands its wireless products or services by purchasing another wireless company is engaging in related diversification. Under related diversification, companies want to make easier the consumption of its products by producing complementing goods or offering complementing services. In a related diversification the resulting combined business should able to improve return on investment (ROI) because of increased revenues, decrease costs and reduced investment.
