Andrew's eyes flicked up, catching sight of her face. He swallowed, forcing his heart to not fully pound straight out of his chest. He shoved his chair back, kicking off with his feet. Standing up his eyes, a bright blue caught between a clear gray based blue and a weirdly vibrant electric blue, found her face. And that wall, that steel strong wall he'd built around his heart and emotion came tumbling down. Crashing in a haze of love, hate and anger. Years of work, undone in seconds just by looking at her. Andrew's eyes found her nut brown ones. "Olivia." he spoke, his voice thick on his tongue. Her face said it all. Regret for coming her. Pain from seeing him again. And something else even his years of profiler training couldn't seem to place, a first for the FBI Agent. He paused to eye the bullpen before he lead her into the hallway of the building. Tan walls stared back at him as he crossed his arms ove his chest. "It's been what, eleven years since you left me?" He spoke, his voice cold. Her eyes blinked, her head titled to the side. "Eleven and a half almost to the date. Techcally two since we last spoke though Andrew. Listen Andy we need to ta-" he cut her off with a hard stare. "I'm not your Andy anymore Olivia. It's Andrew or Agent Mason when I'm at work--which I am. Listen I have a few minutes before my boss blows up at me for taking a break. What it is?" he spoke, that tinge of his old accent there. Hidden, softer then normal but it was still there. "I need your

In my book, The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket, I would say Sunny Baudelaire changed the most. In the very beginning, Sunny was a little baby who couldn’t speak more than one word at a time. In the book before this one, you got a hint that she could be developing culinary skills or hobbies when she decided to put cinnamon in the hot chocolate. Now, Count Olaf is making her cook them food and her culinary skills are growing. She is starting to use her resources very well. For example, she took what everybody thought was a cigarette (that was already lit), and warmed up the food with its heat. She is now transforming into a little girl not only physically, but also mentally. In the book it says, “‘I’m not a baby,’ Sunny said, and hugged her.

Love can be an amazing thing and it is often said that nothing compares to the bond between a mother and her child, yet before a study called “The nature of love” which is discussed in the book “Forty studies that changed psychology: Explorations into the history psychological research,” our society had a very different understand about what caused this bond (Hock, 2013). In the book the author Roger Hock explores many different influential studies but in the section called “Discovering Love,” he takes a closer look into this study and discusses its importance (Hock, 2013). The influence of this study can be found in many different types of literature such as contemporary articles like “Building your own family,” which was published in Scientific American Mind (2014). This article implicitly provides further understand of the “The nature of love” study results and shows active efforts to continue building on the original theoretical ideas in order to change our views about human development (Jacobson, 2014). Even in modern text books like Psychology: Eighth Edition, can we find traces of the importance of this study. Thus this study not only provided a tremendous contribution to the field of Psychology but also changed society by altering its views on child rearing all together.
The author, Cormac McCarthy, shows in the book that love can overcome anything if there is still a little bit of faith left that is why the man still believes that the boy can turn society into a better place. The only thing that is driving this man to live is the boy because he needs to protect the boy at any cost. When a member of a bloodcult crew confronted the man about not using his gun because he only has two bullets left and using the boy as a hostage, the man instantly shoots him right in front of his son. The man thinks his killing was justifiable, but was questioned by his son if they were still the “good guys.” The father reassures him that they are still the good guys, or at least reassures his son to feel that way because he has
