I’m glad that I chose this book because it taught me that one person can have a huge impact on an issue that he or she feels strongly about. I thought Serpico would have become a replica of those crooked cops. Who would of thought Serpico would be the police officer to deny graft, bribery and other criminal benefits? That’s the most appealing information because who would chose justice over money? Apparently Frank Serpico thought that corruption wasn’t going to get him to a detective rank. He believed the only way was to endeavor. A quote from the book was “the

In chapter 6, it talks about the seven-mile world, which was centered in Crotonoa Park in the Bronx and extended to create a seven mile radius around this park. Crazy Legs described hip-hop’s four elements as: DJing, MCing, B-boying, and graffiti. Just as we learned in class, it really goes on to talk about graffiti and how it was seen as a “way of gaining status in a society where to own property is to have identity”. With the goal of graffiti being to achieve the most fame, which was done by taking the most risky spots in the city, youths were putting themselves in high danger to get the perfect “tag”.

The book opens on Oct. 26, 1775 with King George III making a procession in his grand coach/horse drawn carriage, pulled by eight massive majestic horses. The entire coach itself was a symbol of England’s many colonies and extreme wealth. The king’s attire wasn’t usually very grand. He preferred the life of a farmer at Windsor and the company of his wife to court duties. The “madness” for which he was long remembered was really porphyria, an inherited disease. Though not a militaristic man, he had no doubt that the misbehaving colonies must be made compliant. The war under Howe and Washington officially began in Lexington and Concord and then Bunker Hill, and it made him uneasy. He

In chapter thirteen, Walt and Eric make it to Shamattaawa. When they get there, they are so relieved because they thought they were lost which would be terrifying because there would be no way to get out. Eric and Walt started becoming annoyed by every little thing, which causes them to blame each other. It only gets worse as things get tougher and tougher. Finally, things got to the breaking point and Eric and Walt snapped and started fighting. I understand why they started fighting because they are stressed out from worrying about being on the right track and being cold. I would be very irritated if I was in that position also. I am surprised they never fought from the beginning of the trip. That shows they work well together and can work

He notices the soldiers tend to act differently once they are in the presence of demons. Dante and Virgil then find themselves in the pitch, which is a spiraling bottomless pit of souls.

Every now and then a sinner would pop up from the pitch to alleviate the unbearable pain of the boiling hot water; Dante compares them to frogs squatting about in water with
