Once he gets into college he sees that his dream job of being a Diesel Engineer is crushed. Rudy Puana decided to make the same exact mistakes he did in high school, he partied, never went to his classes, and he never studied for his tests and finals.

Rudy also tries to keep the rest of the family connected in any way he can. When Linda was alive and all of the grandkids still lived at home they would have biweekly family game nights. Kent, Jenni, Jordan and Danny, Lisa, Sydney, and Haley would all meet up at Rudy and Linda’s house to eat dinner and play games. Rudy would spend the whole day cooking, being sure to make all of the favorites, while Linda cleaned the house. Everyone would bring their favorite game and the group voted on what to play that night. Rudy was never a fan of playing the games but he loved cooking and watching his family spend time together laughing and having fun. After Linda died Sydney and Haley went off to college and Jordan got married and moved into her own house with her new husband. All of these things coupled with the fact that Rudy did not like playing games made having family game night harder. Losing his wife made Rudy all the more sure that family was the most important thing in his life and was determined to still spend time with his grandchildren. The first year or two was a little shaking but he finally turned family game night into family dinners. Whenever Sydney and Haley had a break from school he would be sure to invite everyone over for dinner and

Dennis L. Rader was born on March 9, 1945 in the unremarkable town of Wichita, Kansas. A member of four siblings, Rader was a quiet kid, smart, and was well-behaved by all accounts. His family was very religious, and from every aspect, young Dennis Rader was a normal, harmless kid. However, Dennis Rader had a dark secret. As admitted later in his life, Rader had a wild sexual fantasy of bondage, a young developing sadomasochist. He dreamed of tying up girls and having his way with them, but his desire for dominance was not entirely sexual. He admitted to killing cats and dogs by hanging them, and early in his teenage years he was caught by his mother. She was worried but just passed it off as boyhood curiosity. He learned to hide his fantasies

Rudy was never alone on this journey, as he had Pete, who was his best friend and the only one who believed in him. Pete gave Rudy a Notre Dame jacket for his twenty-second birthday.

Sonny was only 15, a freshman, and an easy target for bullies. They used to call him "string bean", "small shit", and "lanky". He couldn't help that he had a growth spurt the summer prior and that it made his already small frame smaller. He could handle the name calling or so he thought. They were relentless, in particular, Bobby Bianchi. He was a popular football player for his school and for some reason targeted Sonny nearly every day at the end of school.

As a parent explaining Rudy’s actions, I would tell him that your admiration for one athlete can be extremely exuberant but painting yourself his skin color in this time where prejudice of different people was very high, it clearly isn’t the smartest move. The itch in my heart is that it is morally wrong to paint yourself black and if you go that extreme with your admiration, Rudy can honestly be taken and have a higher chance to be killed by Nazi Germany.

“Sonny’s Blues” is a short story about a narrator who possesses inner conflict for control. In the beginning of the story, the narrator reads a newspaper stating that his brother, Sonny, has been arrested for drugs. This initiates the inner conflict that we identify within the narrator. The narrator does not wish to accept that his brother has done this. As he walks from the subway station he thinks, “It was not to be believed. . . And at the same time I couldn’t doubt it” (Mays, 93). Throughout the story, we watch the narrator struggle between how he views Sonny should live his life and how Sonny desires to live his own life.

Rudy’s perception of himself changed over the course of the book for the better. During chapter 3 Rudy was living a sloppy life; Rudy slept on couches, dried off with bath mats, and never washed his clothes. As a child growing up going through grade school, Rudy struggled to find pride. He was teased for his red hair as a little boy and to combat that he teased back. As time went on he made friends but went down a troubled path, paving the way to his procrastination, misbehavior, and bad grades. Rudy had little aspirations, and as Rudy says on page 53, “I was hell bent on going to diesel mechanic school after graduation.” As Rudy scraped by high school and got into UH Manoa through a special program his life continued in its downward trend

Rudy painted himself black to try to look more like Jesse and when he got caught he was “being Jesse Owens” and that was his only reason for him doing what he was doing (Zusak 58). Even though Rudy was taught that in that time Aryans were better than every other race he still like Jesse Owens and didn’t see him as a bad person and seen him as an idol that Rudy one day wanted to be. Even though society tried to separate people Rudy liked Jesse Owens because he could run fast. Also when he was told that Aryans were better than other “races” “but nothing was clear” and he didn’t know it was because he was Aryan (Zusak 61). All though he was being taught that being Jesse Owens was a bad thing he still didn’t get it.

He was a walk on, that through his persistence and hard work became a respected team member. Even though he did not have the skills as the other players, he was able to communicate what he could do by showing his assertiveness through his hard work and determination with every practice. A memorable scene of Rudy with the janitor, showed Rudy developing some self-awareness. Rudy told the janitor he was quitting the team after 2 years because he wasn’t allowed to dress with the team. The janitor pointed out that quitting would throw away 2 years of college and miss graduation.

Rouleaux (singular is rouleau) are stacks of red blood cells which form because of the unique discoid shape of the cells. The flat surface of the discoid RBCs give them a large surface area to make contact and stick to each other. They occur when the plasma protein concentration is high, and because of them the ESR is also increased. Rouleaux is a physiological phenomenon that takes places in normal blood under low-flow conditions or at stasis. The presence or increased concentrations of acute phase proteins, particularly fibrinogen, results in enhanced erythrocyte aggregation. Acute phase proteins, particularly fibrinogen, interact with sialic acid on the surface of RBCs to facilitate the formation of rouleaux. An increase in the ratio
