When Red shows up the Indian is still in his garden and they decide to “take him down.” They grabbed some tools and Joe charged towards the Indian. Before he knew it he had fallen and when he looked back up the Indian was no longer in sight. That afternoon when the police showed up and Joe explained to him where the Indian was and how he was going to take him down earlier, but he tripped and fell in his attempt. The officer asked if the Indian looked familiar and Joe replied “no there aren’t any Indians around here” and his friend Red the corrected him by reminding him of some guys who come around on weekends. Joe replied “those old winos?” Joe and Red don’t know the Indians, but because they may have encountered some Indians that are drunks they make the assumption that the Indians that they see on the weekends picking up cans are winos. They are contributing to a negative conclusion of a particular group, yet they don’t even know any of them on a personal level.

He was with me when I lost this bad boy.” He was showing his prosthetic leg, and said, “I lost it in an accident.” “Oh really must have been an accident then to have lost your leg.” She said with a face that seemed slightly weirded out. He told her the story about how he lost it trying to keep the truck from rolling off the hill and how the electric co-op paid his bills and him the rest of his salary for the year then gave him the job he currently has now, and her response was. “Wow you are kind-of amazing, but you never told me how you actually came to work for the co-op in the first place.” Then he said, “well to be honest I guess it is because I really liked electrical classes in school.” he was interrupted by the waiter bringing their

Perry and his dad exhaust all of their energy and resources on one thing” building a beautiful trapper's lodge, one that should have attracted many tourists. Alas, the few it did attract, those using their expendable bounty of wealth on a vacation to Alaska, simply stopped, snapped a photo lacking snetiment, and went on their merry way. They were utterly unaware of the two men they were effectively robbing. It continued on like this until one day, a blow out over Perry’s one-too-many biscuits which ended with Perry at his father’s throat. Literally… “My hands got hold of his throat.

Brian was a 13 year old boy who’s plane crashed in the woods in Canada. It was fall and no one was around to help him. He was left to try to survive. He built a shelter to live in. He constantly had fires going to keep himself warm. He had some survival stuff such as cooking pots, a hunting knife, forks, spoons, a first aid kit, a cap, fishing line, lures, hooks, sinkers and packets of dry food. Brian learned warning signs such as when it was getting cold. He also got warnings that something wasn’t right. One instance of that was when Brian’s rifle stopped working. The warning he got was when he felt a touch on his cheek. That resulted in him learning how to make bows and arrows. He hunted various animals such as rabbits, deer, and mule. To keep wolves away, Brian marked his territory. Living in the woods gave Brian a lot of work to do. Such as when he had to fix his shelter after a bear came to steal some of his food. He had a skunk living next to him who sprayed the bear away. To get food, Brian had to hunt and kill animals. Winter came and Brian’s cloths were ruined. Brian was forced to hint in the snow. It got so cold that when he spit, the salvia bounced on the ground. He celebrated Thanksgiving with ribs from a mule. In the end, he comes to a crude log shelter. Someone was living there.

From the start, the rule was: Lose one game, and you are out.” This is taken from chapter one of The View from Saturday by E. L.Konigsburg.

The first reading that I went to was David Kerns reading from his book Fortnight on Maxwell Street. After reading the summary on the book, I was very interesting before even going to the reading. It is also safe to say that the reading from the book was good as I had expected it to be. To begin, Kerns talked about the setting of the book and how he had began writing this book. The setting was in Chicago 1968, during the time when he was there are a medical student. Kerns was starting his “2 week hell week” through the hospital (similar to clinicals now), but at this time it was terrifying. Home deliveries done on kitchen tables were popular and were done by untrained and inexperienced “doctors”. Although home deliveries were very terrifying for those performing them, everyone that has done it labels it as the “single most impactful memorable experience in their entire medical career” according to Kerns. At the time the book was written, the inner city of Chicago exploded. There were riots, looting, shootings, overflowing hospitals, and it was overall a catastrophe.

Then the waitress arrives at their table introduces herself as Pam and ask what drinks would they be having today two of them order water the other sweet tea with lemon. While returning to the table with the drinks she asks if they were ready to order if not she could come back the gentleman 's reply they will need more time baby.

A man dressed in an ivory, crisp suit stands in front of the bar counter talking to the soda jerk. “There is violence in Chicago, but not by me and not by anybody I employ. Because it's not good business.” The man behind the counter replies, “The green beer you're peddling ain't any good.” To which the suited man says, “It’s not supposed to be good. It's supposed to be bought.” Ring! goes the bell on the door, and a small, young girl walks into the store carrying a silver ice bucket. “I'm not buying,” says the soda jerk. “Don't worry about it, Pops,” replies the man. “We won't come back.” Unwilling to dwell on his words, the man behind the counter turns his attention to the little girl putting her ice bucket on the counter top.

The waiter knows the older man by name and says, "Hey Hopper, anything new today or just the same old, same old?" whenever he would walk in.
