The Forgotten Dead takes in an account in US History that the problem of lynching did not only occurred in the US Southern states with African-Americans, but it also occurred in the US southwest with the Mexican-Americans.

There were a few points in this book that taught me about life and how crazy it can be sometimes. The photographer named Fulgencio was very afraid of hitch hiking to Mexico City with a stranger, especially with all of us expensive equipment. On the ride, Fulgencio is so paranoid that the guy is going to kill him, he grabs a machete out of the back of the truck. In doing so he gets kicked out of the car and loses all of his photography equipment anyways. This taught me that we need to trust each other more, Just because there are a few crazy people in the world, we shouldn't let them give us all a bad name. I mean, the guy picked Fulgencio up when he was in desperate need of a car, and gives him a ride. He should have been thankful, not picked up a machete and threaten the guy. Another thing this book taught me was that just because your sister doesn't want your kid anymore because she

When we have strong love for others, we take risks, we go against our beliefs, we put ourselves in danger, and we let our loved ones go. Without love, there would be none of that. In this book, The Dead and the Gone, written by Susan Beth Pfeffer, a comet smashes the moon closer to earth and it creates all sorts of problems. Alex, a teenage boy with two sisters, starts a long journey of survival and risks. This story is so realistic, at times was hard to read. You start to ask yourself these tough questions, like what you would do in a specific situation. Through out the whole story, love is definitely a recurring theme. It shows you how well love can hold a family is distress together.

The novel, The Dead and the Gone, by Susan Beth Pfeffer, is about a 17 year old boy having to be responsible for his two siblings, 12 and 14, in New York, after a natural disaster that affected many places throughout the world. In this science fiction novel, the Earth’s moon is knocked off of its orbit, and closer to the Earth, after being hit by an asteroid. This was followed by tsunamis, earthquakes, and many other natural disasters, that made food supply and comfortable shelter/ homes low, expensive, and hard to find or get, because of the gravitational pull of the moon becoming much stronger. On the first day of this catastrophe, the main characters’, Alex, Bri, and Julie, mother, Mami, was called in from the hospital, and the three never received word from her after that day. As for their father, Papi, he had gone to Puerto Rico for his mother’s funeral.

One of the themes that was pointed out through the book is, family is worth dying for. Alex proves this over and over again when he chooses to walk to Warren where his family is. He could have easily stayed and found a safer way out but he needed his family so much that he risked his life to walk through ash and snow just to

The Book of the Dead is a funerary text from ancient Egypt. It was used during the New Kingdom which was around 1550 BC to 50 BC. Other translations of the book include “Book of Coming Forth by Day” and “Book of Emerging Forth into the Light.” The book is basically a loose collection of texts which was intended to assist the dead on their journey into the underworld and into the afterlife. Over a thousand-year period the book was constructed and the authors included many different priests over that time period.

My favorite part of the book by far was watching Alex develop as a character and learn how to deal with his problems while helping out Solomon.

In the novel The Dead, Gabriel Conroy, who is the nephew of Julia and Kate Morkan, is the main character of the story. One night he and his wife attended a party, which was given by his two aunts, and there were many other members in the party. The story revolves around their life and memories.Gabriel Conroy felt a blur between his soul and the dead. Some people died, but they are still alive because they have true love. Some people are alive, but they are still dead because they never love.I like the story for three reasons.

The power of the story has been very much a part of the lives of humans throughout time. The story is able to bring the past to the present and the dead to the living. The story can make the blind see. The story is able to make others feel for events in time that they have never experienced. The story has a profound effect on both the teller and the audience. As the audience is thought to be the beneficiary or the storytelling process, the teller is able to relive the times of old, or even teach a valuable lesson to his or her audience. Thus, allowing both parties to gain something intangible throughout this process. In “The Lives of the Dead,” O’Brien conveys the importance of storytelling and imagination by suggesting that the dead can be brought back to life in the minds of the people who hear it.
