Summary Of The End Or Something Like That By Ann Dee Ellis

The novel “End of Days” by Eric Walters starts off with a Soviet satellite’s travels. It first traveled to Jupiter and eventually left our solar system. The satellite reached a huge asteroid with the diameter of 500 kilometers roughly 1/6 the diameter of the moon. The satellite orbited the asteroid, just by accident the satellite’s messages were received on earth.

If it hit earth all of life on earth cease, if it missed then the earth would be pushed too close to the sun and life would never be able to survive on Earth again.

I read a book that is called Counting By 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan and it’s a realistic fiction. it's about a girl named willow she is adopted, she's different from all of the other people in the school maybe because she skipped a grade, and both of her parent’s passed away. She starts from when the police told her the news and then starts from the beginning telling her story and we find out different things about willow like how she likes learning about medical things and how she skipped a grade. But when it comes back to the present she finds that she is going to have to become strong and that there will be ups and downs.

The book focuses mainly on a woman named Celie, who has lived a hard life already when, at the age of 14 she begins

Some positives or likes I had while reading are as follows below. One like I had about the book was the description of the murder. “The eye sockets were empty.” (pg. 43) This helps you envision the body, how they found it in the book. Another like I had with the book is, ““She bought a car, Cam. She’s left New York.”” (pg.73) The aspect of her long lost mother rushing to see her the entire story adds more suspense. The last thing I enjoyed about the book is, “Kyle’s hand reached in front of her and snapping it shut with a small click.” (pg.232). I like the end how Kyle is the killer, a twist I think no one expected.

A shiny, crisp red fruit hangs enticingly off a lush verdant branch; a sly, seductive serpent and a woman in the nude converse under the sacred tree, and then Eve tentatively reaches up and plucks the juicy crimson fruit, a look of panic only reflected on her face once she realizes the gravity of her decision. She picks the forbidden fruit and her ignorance is ripped away from her like a newspaper on a windy day, and this single act started a trend of succumbing to temptations throughout human history. Even in the novels The Hours and The Awakening, the characters are tempted by someone else or a different idea; however, some of these characters exhibit strong self control and avoid their demise. The fine line between success and failure when it comes to avoiding temptation is most obviously demonstrated by Edna Pontellier and Laura Brown, and these two women showcase the destructive power of seduction and the strength of will it takes to deny the enticement. The allure of the unknown is not exclusive to the female sex either, many men in the novel also suffer from it, namely Robert Lebrun. The secret snare of temptation is interwoven throughout the stories, and the sliver of thread can be glimpsed between the inky words.

Most curriculums being taught to students withhold a mass amount of history. Some may do this because they feel some events do not have the same importance as other topics being taught. Such topics for example would be the rape and sexual exploitation of thousands of African American females during the time periods where racism and segregation was the norm. It is important for people to be educated about the horrific events that these women went through without justice. It is also essential because it shows the amazing activism Rosa Parks took part in. Most people are often just taught about Parks’ actions on the bus. At the Dark End of the Street by Danielle L. McGuire shows how Rosa Parks and many other dedicated their lives to receive equality not only for themselves, but for all African Americans in the south. Danielle L. McGuire’s work is an amazing way for people to not only learn more of Rosa Parks story, but to get a better understanding of what all African American woman had to deal with during this time period. The realism of sexual violence and its dominant impact on the African American women was one of the many events that helped ignite the Civil Rights Movement. McGuire wrote At the Dark End of the Street in order to resolve the negligence of this reality.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).” The love and respect for the outdoors is something everyone should value, many things promote this way of life, due to its extravagance and true freedom in this great creation.

Much of this world doesn’t get to see the other side of America; they don’t get to see the best part, the outdoors.
