Sampson, George, and Rameck were three kids from the ghetto of Newark, New Jersey. They came from low-income families, and grew up without father figures. All three of them always did well in school, but others around them made a lot of bad choices. This caused many events that them caused them to go to jail. When they met each other in University High School, the three doctors decided to promise to each other that they would all go to college and become doctors.

Predictions: My predicted of this chapter was that it was going to say the same thing that I was thinking. But guess not. But as I started reading further into the book it give you some interest ways to so what or who care. But my real prediction was that the writer of this book” they say I say “was give us permission to literally saying who care and starting an argument with the writer of the book.

Mr. Gawande starts his literature on washing hands. He introduces two friends a microbiologist and an infectious disease specialist. Both work hard and diligently against the spread of diseases just like Semmelweis who is mentioned in the chapter. Something I learned, that not many realize, is that each year two million people acquire an infection while they are in the hospital. Mainly because the clinicians only wash their hands one-third to one-half as many times as they should. Semmelweis, mentioned earlier, concluded in 1847 that doctors themselves were to blame for childbed fever, which was the leading cause of

Chapter 5 of They Say I Say is a very interesting chapter because it talks about improving your writing. In the chapter, they talk about learning how to state your own opinion without sounding biased. I believe that one great example of this is when the author exclaims, “I have a problem with what liberals call cultural differences.” This type of writing is important because you can express your own views and opinions without sounding biased. This type of writing only works if you can integrate parts of their argument into your own. Another method discussed in this text was using references to things you said prior to that. One good example of this could be when it states that,“ We would argue that voice markers we identified earlier, are extremely

Many college students find themselves struggling, while trying to write papers in their English classes. This book was written to help you though these struggles. They say/I say by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein is a book that was designed to help students be better writers. I think that this book is absolutely a huge help to anyone in need of becoming a much more confident and better writer. This book has helped me learn how to write more structured sentences and how to form them in ways that sound better and are also more grammatically correct than before. I have learned how to properly demonstrate and use many writing techniques such as making quotations, playing the believing game, how to write strong summaries, how to plant a “naysayer”, and incorporate “so what?” and “who cares?” into my writing. This book can be extremely helpful to anyone in need of assistance or for people interested in

In the first few pages of Chapter Three, Kingsolver talks about heirloom vegetables and says “these titles stand for real stories.” What is meant by the title is heirloom plants give off seeds that end up being saved and used for many generations (112). Those seeds have history behind them; family stories that span over several years. For example, on page 144 Kingsolver talked about this heirloom seed exchange in Iowa where one of the founders’ grandfather left a pink tomato plant that his parents brought from Bavaria in the 1870s. The seeds are comparable to a family heirloom. Both get handed down from generation to generation and have a story of what the meaning of the object is and how it all got started.

Currently in my book "How We Decide" Lehrer still explains the concept of the Frontal Cortex. He goes and talks about how the frontal part of the brain affects the brain in lifesaving scenarios. Lehrer tells in the book that the more knowledge someone has on something the better. He calls forth upon a firefighter that goes on a helicopter and drops down onto the land that's on fire and puts it out. This veteran firefighter names Wage Dodge was caught in a mix up. The fire was getting worse and his young crew of kids and himself was trapped with no place to go. Dodge knew he wasn't going to make it so he used his skills. As the crew of young kids were running he had to think of a plan. Dodge made another fire and laid in the burnt grass. The original fire went around

process of enlisting and training, the medical procedures and vaccinations he went through, traveling overseas and the excitement that brings, being injured in the war, and then finally the process of being discharged from the Army in February of 1919 at the end of the war and being reunited with “Marty”.

A job as a parent can be hard, especially when the parents have lots of activities. They have to balance their time with the child and their own personal activities. Some parents choose to go do their own activities and not to spend more time with their child just like Chip’s parents. Jonah’s parents chose the opposite. Also, parents who are fine with talking about the child adoption probably loves the child more. Varying by how busy the parents are, the child will be loved at a certain strength or level. Jonah’s parents are nicer than Chip’s parents.

Thomas is held prisoner in WICKED headquarters, but is then eventually released by Janson, who tells the Gladers and Group B that there’s a cure for the Flare. The Gladers were forced to retrieve their memories and remove the tracking devices from their heads. “I’m afraid we don’t have much of a choice, the time for lies are over. Nothing’s going to work with you three still in the dark. I’m sorry. We need to do this, [...]” (Dashner 46). Thomas, Minho, and Newt were the only ones who chose not to undergo the procedure because they didn’t trust WICKED. Without the devices, the WICKED headquarters wouldn’t be able to track where the Gladers are. All three of them escaped before having their tracking devices removed, with the help of the Right Arm.

In Chapter six of Practices of Looking theorist Michael McLuhan stated during the 1960’s that “a medium is any extension of ourselves through a technological form”. He also believed that it is a way in which individuals extend their bodies in processes of communication, which despite him writing in the 1960’s is highly relevant in contemporary society. The chapter discusses how people rank modes of media in terms of importance. For instance, an article on Facebook or seen on a social networking platform may not be as highly regarded by the average viewer, as it can be perceived as not being credible. Yet, a newspaper article is often held in a higher esteem.
