This book is about two main characters Jason Moreland and his online Facebook friend, Lacey Gray. They have lots of things in common such as a love for playing the guitar. There is just a problem that starts to form. Despite the fact that they basically spend hours talking to each other, Jason always requests a time and place to actually communicate with each other face to face, she never replies.

On Every Front: The Making of the Cold War In the first chapter of the book, the author describes the devastation that the world saw after World War II was over. Paterson describes recollections about individuals like Winston Churchill who surveyed the rubble upon conclusion of the war. One excerpt I found interesting was when the prime minister entered what was left of Adolf Hitler’s chancellery. Churchill noted that his marble desk now was in a thousand pieces. The same day that Churchill surveyed Berlin, United States President Harry Truman got to look at the former Nazi Capital.

In Matt Taibbi’s book The Divide, the criminal justice system is revealed to have become a form of social control over the poor. Taibbi refers to this divide between rich and poor as “two systems in a vacuum,” where there are two separate systems depending on whether you’re rich or poor that people seem to accept. When looking at both systems in comparison, however, the system makes no sense. An example Taibbi uses throughout his book is the legal process of petty crimes, such as drug dealing or just sleeping on a park bench overnight, where, due to minimum sentencing laws, people have had to serve a minimum 20-year prison sentences. These are people that are poor and desperate enough to sleep on a cold park bench, but instead of giving them

From the waves of the Gulf of Mexico to the plains of Indiana, from a barn in the Ozarks to the White House, this is a sweeping depiction of the effect of a major catastrophic change on the USA.

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

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. After they made the pact, there were a few problems, but these incidents never stopped them from pursuing their dream of becoming doctors. Today, Dr. Hunt is a Board certified internist at University Medical Center at Princeton

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.

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.

When we first started reading the book I was confused about what was going on. Who the characters was? Then I started getting a better understanding of the book. The Ubik items are something i would use because they sound like the would work for my household because hygiene stuff runs out quick there and this last for a while. I'm about to write about what I found convincing about the novel. Which is the ubik that is used for everything that goes along with having good hygiene.

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 one starts with Robert E. Lee walking out of his tent in the morning, not feeling so well. He strolls around the camp, noticing that Stuart had not returned during the night. Despite this, he is confident that he will be back by sunset. Lee continues in his daily duties, talking to his aids, discussing various issues, and speaking with the townspeople. Lee then meets with Longstreet, telling him that he does not want him on the front lines of battle. Longstreet then declares that he believes that the Union army is iin Gettysburg, and suggests that Lee move the confederates in between Washington D.C. and Gettysburg, preventing the Union from being able to contact the capital. Lee is sick of hearing Longstreet’s defensive tactics, and
