“I Take Your Point” is a great way to remember what this chapter is saying. Students give different interpretations of ideas during a classroom discussion. In this chapter, the main point is to teach us how to respect others after they make their points and how to properly respond in a discussion to make a cohesive discussion. You don’t want to be completely off topic or respond incorrectly to someone in the discussion. It is also important to understand how to properly change the topic in a discussion.
The book “Saving Normal,” which is an insider’s Revolt Against Out-of-control Psychiatric Diagnosis, written by Allen Frances. This book title represents what it is about, saving normal humans from the people with mental illnesses and disorders. The main theme of this book is that for years’ people are being diagnosed to easily, and quickly and treated with meditation that isn’t needed that often. Allen Frances was the head of the task force of the DSM, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders. He has been in the inside and seen psychiatrics classify various mental disorders to humans. These psychiatrists have prescribed medications and drugs to people who do not need it. At the beginning of
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

How We Got Over is book full of selected speeches vocalized by Dr. John A. Peoples, Jr., a former President of Jackson State University. The selected speeches cover topics centered around African-Americans, specifically African-American education. Most of the speeches, compiled in the book by Dr. John A. Peoples, Jr. himself, are from his Jackson State University Founders’ Day speeches. The speeches are arranged chronologically, and some of the speeches are given discrete introductions “to elucidate the concern, purpose, or problem being addressed” (Peoples ix). The book’s title is a little misleading because one underlying theme of the entire book is that the struggles for African-Americans are not over.
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
Broken reveals the record of what occur between then and now—from growing up the privileged son of Bill Moyers to his birth into alcoholism and cocaine devotion, his numerous jobs at procurement clean, his many backslides, and how he managed to outlive a terrible time in his life. Harrowing and wrenching, Broken portray a painting of a people with every advantage who nonetheless found himself spiraling into a vile and vigor-threatening abysm. But unlike other memoirs of its bounteous, Broken emerges into the visible Life of Moyers’s revival as he dedicates his spirit to changing the politics of addiction. Beautifully written with an intense underlying heavenly-mindedness, this is a messenger of hope for the scores of Americans endeavor with
In Loewen’s chapter ten, he discusses how authors of American history textbooks write notably less about recent history than more distant history. He uses a very helpful analogy to help simplify his meaning: in many African cultures, people are divided into three categories known as the living, the sasha, and the zamani. The sasha and zamani are both used to describe people who have died; the sasha being the dead who still have people who knew them intimately when they were alive, such as friends and family members who have memories of them. Because they are remembered, they are not considered truly dead. After the last person that remembered a sasha died, they then became a zamani.
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.
Craig Mullaney definitely made many challenges for himself and accepted challenges from others with no questions asked. Being the thriving Valedictorian of his high school class and earning other prestigious accolades he stood out from the other entire student. But at West Point, Mullaney would be intertwined with hundreds of other classmates with the same, if not more achievements, making it seemingly impossible to be any kind of a predominant student.
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

Williams One Way or Another is the first book of a Series, The Sisters Quartet, which tells the stories of the four Benedict sisters and their newly found romances beginning with Calder Benedict in Book One. Each of the sisters share the same mother but different fathers, they are a part of the “old” money in New York City society, and all feel that their parents are each quite dysfunctional to one extent or another. Calder Benedict, an beautiful, educated, and intelligent woman, found her passion in a non-profit agency helping others although she had a large inheritance at her disposal. Her mother, Billie, was an only child and her grandfather failed to see that a woman would be capable of managing,
I have been aware of the Chinese voyages in the 15th Century for several years, I read a book written by a British Naval Officer on the Chinese cross ocean voyages of the 15th Century. Although I now find that some people find the above mentioned book to be fiction, I find that description fits in with my current thinking on history in general. This story and history as a whole can be more about the story teller than the story. Historians not only find themselves recording, discovering, and interpreting history, but they must guard against judging what they decide to pass on to society.
