Summary Of It's By Matthew J. Kirby

Alister McGrath, from the very beginning of this book, plainly states what the dangerous idea is all about. “The dangerous new idea, firmly embodied at the heart of the Protestant

The Way It Was: A Social Comparison on Donalda Reid's, "The Way It Is" and What It Was Really Like Back Then

While reading, I felt as if I was in the future, and actually living through the eyes of Charity. I personally can relate to some aspects of Charity. This writing was effective in the way that it kept my attention and very rarely got dull. When it was revealed that Charity’s father was her kidnapper, I felt the shock like it was my own situation. The strengths of this book was its ability to captivate its readers. Not only this, but this book can entertain people of all ages. The weaknesses of this book was that it could often get confusing. But for the most part, it was later explained and figured out. I found this book to be moving. It shows the reader that you can’t truly trust anyone, and that even the people closest to you can go to extreme lengths to get the things they want. I would recommend this book to people of all ages. It will keep you eyes glued to the pages and will make you feel sympathy for the characters at the same

In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Guy Montag doesn't realize the good in books. Montag is a firefighter, whose job is to burn all the books that he can find at 451 degrees fahrenheit. Guy Montag doesn't think he's doing anything bad by burning books, and all the knowledge they contain. It's ordinary in the society that they live in to not read books but burn them. But during the course of the book, Montag starts to learn more about books and begins to see that there not so bad after all.

I would recommend this book to children and teenagers. I would show this to anyone who loves mystery adventure novels. I would tell them this book is about two children who secretly explore around their city and try to decode a message. Their city is running low on essentials such as food and electricity, and these children are the only chance to save The City of Ember. This was a great book and I would definitely give it a great

Holden has just been assaulted in his own hotel room, due to Sunny the prostitute he hired. She was convinced that he owed her five dollars more than what he had paid her. Although Holden thought he did the right thing by not taking her service, and paid her anyway, it was not enough. Maurice the man that hired her for Holden, had told him and Sunny to different prices. This led to a big commotion that could have been prevented if Maurice was not telling his white lies. Maurice himself, took action and had physically came in contact with Holden. Holden was punched, and the man advanced on for a while, and the next thing Holden recalls is,“Then he smacked me. I didn’t even try to get out of the way or duck or anything” (Salinger 115).

In the book The Catcher in the Rye Holden feels that no one really understands him other than his younger sister Phoebe that’s too naive to really understand what he’s saying but she still listens. I too like most teenagers at times feel like no one really understands me, it’s almost like it’s a stage that people have to go through in their lives. While like Holden I have a couple people that I feel do understand me as well, but Holden doesn’t understand why people try so hard to understand him. If Holden Caulfield was a real person he would seem unapproachable and very closed off to the world with the way that acts towards his peers. I however have rare days when I act like this but unlike Holden I’m not stuck in a deep depression that can

To tell you the truth, the novel The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger is one sonuvabitch that can change you goddamn life. The novel begins by Holden talking about his life and background. Holden tells us the reader about the events that took place within a few days. From leaving Pencey Prep to nearly sleeping with a hooker, Holden expresses himself unlike most people. The author, “J.D. Salinger is a highly regarded American author whose most famous work, The Catcher in the Rye, has sold over sixty-five million copies. In addition to being known for his work, Salinger was also known for his reclusive behaviour”. Salinger’s reclusive behaviour would have helped him write The Catcher in the Rye because it gave him more time to write and think about creation of The Catcher in the Rye. “When J.D. Salinger published The Catcher in the

The Futility of Rebellion against Social Standards From the first day a child goes to school they are taught to play the game of life, to smile and nod when questioned, to always do their homework, to always make a good impression of themselves when in public, and to make people think that they’re the perfect little angel they know they aren’t. This has become so universal that the a question remains that has been left mostly unanswered, what would happen if you stopped conforming to the social standards of growing up? Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinder attempt to answer this question with the protagonist of Holden, who in his journey makes every attempt to highlight the ‘phoniness’ of the adults around him, while attempting to prevent the

Recently, whenever anyone has asked me what I want to be when i am older, a wave of anxiety washes over me.  The more occupations my mom throws out at me, the more and more phony they all seem.  This is not due to the fact that there is nothing that interests me (and  it is also not because recently I have been reading The Catcher in the Rye).  I think that I cannot pinpoint my future with a crystal-clear image because there are so many things that interest me.  I have been playing the piano for nearly 9 years.  It seems like a rite that every Thursday I get in the car and travel to Grand Rapids for lessons--a rite that I have grown to love.  Recently, my passion for piano has led me to begin giving lessons for the younger generation--hopefully

Children are always dreaming about that one day when they become an adult. From the eyes of a child, being and adult means freedom to do whatever they want, whenever they want. Despite their optimistic thinking, kids do not realize that being an adult actually means losing their freedom, innocence, and joy, and at the same time they must take on lots of responsibility and societal expectations. In the novel, The Catcher in the Rye, J.D Salinger tells the story of Holden Caulfield, a 16 year-old teenager who is struggling physically and mentally in his very own transition to adulthood. Several times throughout his journey, Holden is given a chance to step into the adult word, but every time he ends up literally falling on the icy road, on peanut

I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy sci-fi or dystopian novels. If you cherish longer books with many plot changes and cliffhangers you will undeniably enjoy this book. If you have read (and enjoyed) the Maze Runner series (also written by James Dashner) you will appreciate the similar aspects of this book. Plot similarities such as untrustworthy characters, all-powerful governments and futuristic societies are shared between the two series. I would 100% recommend reading the first two books of the series before reading this book. It really allows you to understand the plot and character on a much deeper level that you would otherwise. I would not recommend this book to someone who likes simpler plots with less characters. Changing points of view followed by an unclear antagonist can make the book difficult to follow for younger or less experienced readers. I would recommend this book for teens and young adults. Any reader younger than may find it difficult to follow the plot and understand the book. This was one of my favorite books my one of my all-time favorite authors and I hope that other readers would enjoy this book as much as I

Lynn Nottage is one of the most talented contemporary playwrights in the Untied States. Her focus indeed is on the African American lifestyle and through her work she manages to touch topics and share ideas that are usually quite controversial. In addition, her approach towards each of her plays is different, in the best expectable way. Nottage’s intention is to present the world of the play in the most unique and memorable. Crumbs from the Table of Joy and Mud, River, Stone are two plays written by Lyn Notagge that reveal her magnificent playwright skills. Both of the plays are unique in their own way and represents stories that are different, but also connected in a way.
