Saying that the land is worth keeping. Another evidence is from Document A, Papa tells young Cassie, “‘Look out there, Cassie girl. All that belongs to you. You ain’t never had to live on nobody’s place but your own and long as I live and the family survives, you’ll never have to. That’s important.

In The 5th Wave, the genre is easy to identify right away. The book starts off with a girl in the woods talking about how she hates aliens. Right there you can tell because of the alien part the book genre is sci-fi. She even states “Aliens are stupid” (Yancey 1). Later in the book, the main character, and her friends encounter this really high-tech alien base that they have to destroy. To destroy the base though they have to kill the alien leader of the base. There is another example that the book is sci-fi. Not only does the book have aliens, but another good piece of evidence is that on the alien base they had very advanced technology. They had a machine that good read and depict the minds of humans and aliens, called “Wonder”. Towards

The author described, in many ways, the details of the many different things in the areas Cassie visits and uncovered clues that you wouldn’t find just by reading and imagining. The crime scenes also showed every detail, down to the tiniest and unexpected ones, such as where exactly blood was located or where exactly the victims died and even why they were killed. On the front cover of the book is a black box, a gift. Now imagine what you may find within the perfectly shaped cube, perfect bowtie, perfect letter with words half-way between cursive and print. What you may find inside is a small tissue, with a lock of red hair, similar to Cassie’s mother’s hair.

Cassie stood up to Miz Croker because she Show why Little Man revised the book that Miz Croker gave him. Little Man did not want the book because the book called the blacks a bad word, but Miz Croker wasn’t having it she went back to giving him the shiping that’s when cassie said “Miz, Croker,‘I don’t want my book neither” (Taylor, 27).

Although she thinks she knows a lot she doesn’t as proves when Mama was telling here about growing up and she said, “I didn’t say that Lillian Jean is better than you...” and Cassie responds and says, “Just ‘cause she’s his daughter” (Page 127). Finally, she is short-tempered because whenever there is something that doesn’t go her way she gets angry.

The second wave was behavioral sciences in the early twentieth century introducing reforms of medication and psychiatric hospitals. The use of medication and psychiatric hospitals was justified by four specific reasons protecting society and the mentally ill from danger, cure mentally ill patients receptive to treatment, improve the lives of the incurable, and achieve the goal of properly caring for the mentally ill. Following the construction of state psychiatric hospitals, various organizations and acts, such as Mental Health America (MHA) and U.S. Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963 were also created to improve the lives of the mentally ill in the United States. The introduction of pharmacology led to the deinstitutionalization

Cassie, who is all these things, eventually discovers her aunt is Agent Locke who is a serial killer. Barnes, on the other hand, gives us Agent Locke, someone who is not a natural and someone who learned and studied. She was working alongside five "naturals", one who has a talent for reading emotions, another who is a human lie detector, another who is genius with numbers, and two profilers, yet none of them were able to uncover the truth because as Agent Locke said "I studied. I planned. I passed the psych exams with flying colors...

In Ayn Rand's Anthem and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four it shows how ignorance can be more or just as powerful as knowledge. In Anthem it shows exactly how powerful knowledge can be. On the other hand, in Nineteen Eighty-Four it shows how sometimes it doesn’t matter how much knowledge is known, rather how ignorant you choose to be.

The cave allegory also proves that the role of education is not to teach in the sense of feeding people information they do not have, but rather to shed light on things they already know. Education "isn't the craft of putting sight into the soul. Education takes for granted that sight is there but that it isn't turned the right way or looking where it ought to look, and it tries to redirect it properly." (2)

The further ‘off the rails’ Cassie goes, the more extreme the sexual situations, at one point ‘courting’ a female and then a few minutes after the female leaves a male arrives. “Sexuality strongly influences people’s identity.” (Op. cit. p.22) And at this point in the series we find that Cassie has a very mixed up idea about who she is and what she wants.

Finally, Cassie had little-to-no human contact before she was shot in the leg and saved by Evan Walker but she still did not hesitate to kiss him, cuddle, fight, or anything that a normal couple would do. After fighting with each other, “Evan Walker kisses me. Holding my hand against his chest, his other hand sliding across my neck…” Despite Cassie being shot in the leg by an unknown shooter, aliens trying to take over the Earth, her brother being taken, and her family being dead, she is still a teenage girl who enjoys male interaction.

Thomas the Apostle once said that seeing is believing, and rightfully so. A person consciously chooses to stand firm in his beliefs until given cold, hard evidence that proves a different reality and opens his eyes. Coming to understand these new facts is a vital part of life that man must face in order to better understand the natural world. However, new knowledge can become a double-edged sword when it attributes to man's disillusionment. An individual's mindset falls into the depths of despair when introduced to a harsh reality that clashes with his previous perceptions of right and wrong.

Ignorance is like going through life with shut eyes, unaware and unfamiliar. It is like a foreboding, grey cloud, – the colour of ash and soot – hanging above and blanketing people’s vision. Alternatively, in the world, ignorance has become a fluent trait in the growing population where people live through their lives in ignorant bliss because they do not take time to consider reasoning beyond a normal perspective. Ignorance does not always necessarily refer to one’s knowledge in an academic sense, but more so is one’s understanding of their surroundings and the world. Ignorance often defines and influences choices and ethics, and frequently comes from inaccurate beliefs, lack of consciousness, and misleading information; it will be people’s

Near the end of the book Cassie bumps into Jeremy Simms sister and her dad comes and pushes Cassie off the sidewalk.“It was then that I bumped into Lillian Jean Simms… Mr. Simms glared down at me “When my gal Lillian Jean says for you to get yo’self off the sidewalk, you get, your hear.” This shows her losing innocence because she now sees how terrible white people are to push a 9 year old girl off the sidewalk because someone bumped into her. Lillian and her dad are very racist so now she knows not to mess with her and not to talk back.
