James Patterson should be included in an anthology because he has mastered the art of description and plot. He’s capable of creating lives in his books like no other author from past or present. He has created a fictional world inside of his Alex Cross series, where many fans of his like to live. With each new book he can fill a mind with unbelievable detail and imagery.

The sequel was even better than the first. Evaluating it as a fantastic medical drama, bringing trauma and delight to the ever changing plot, never fails to thrill the reader through a roller coaster ride of suspense (Ufowriter, Amazon.com). But without a doubt his Alex Cross series is his best work. He creates a world that keeps building upon itself with each book. With each book the characters develop again and again. Enemies from past books will resurface to terrorize Alex once more. Old enemies will rise again and some main characters will die. He has even said that “I’m much heavier into the telling of the story and a little less careful with the writing of good sentences.� (Author & Artists, page 212) The series has changed the way an action/mystery novel is written today. Patterson writes with extreme detail and plot development. He can describe a characters entire facial appearance and background. Since Cross has a PhD in psychology, he is always evaluating criminals, getting into their mind is his job. He weaves a tale of what the criminal did as a young boy or as a college student that turned him evil. He connects the actions of the criminal to their past. The description that he is able to put into his books blows any other author out of the water. Describing a cars engine as it goes around a tight turn

overwhelming evidence continued to be stacked against George Jacobs, and with spectral evidence being the most riveting. Accusations against George Jacobs included nearly ten names. All ten or so claimed similar things of George Jacobs. If they are not being physically abused or afflicted by his specter, then they see the specter afflicting the others. Other men, predominantly of the Putnam family began to testify to witnessing the specter of George Jacobs afflicting the girls. The primary witness against George Jacobs was Sarah Churchill. Her witness accounts were at best hyperbolized.
John A. Morettam author of William Penn and the Quaker Legacy, presents William Penn's life in a very informational and positively biased story through his years. He looks majorily on the side that William Penn's decisions were right and that his childhood and young adulthood, founding of Pennsylvania, and in his later years his selling of Pennsylvania were all done well. William Penn accomplished a lot and was an esteemed gentleman, and the author really portays him as such while describing everything William did, as well as his relationships. And so the novel starts off with William Penn's father's influence on William Penn Jr. in many different ways. In the beginning of the story it was neglect. He was
My reflections on the orginization of the novel ended with me loving how the book came together. Alex started off as a normal teenager that does normal teenage activities , but then in a blink of a eye his
On order to effectively analyze “The Writer,” one might look to the Advanced Placement format, for instance, to best understand the meaning of Wilbur’s poem.
Frank Jackson begins his article by writing about what he feels to be a fatal flaw in physicalism. He writes a story about a girl named Mary who is raised in a black-and-white room. In this room Mary was taught everything there is to know about the physical world. The only catch is she learned only from media, which was black-and-white, so she knows nothing of the colors outside this room. After learning everything about the physical world, she is then given the chance to see color. She will then "learn" what color is in the world. For this reason Jackson believes physicalism to be false.
William Penn was born and raised in England, but he is well known for what he did in the Americas. First and foremost, William Penn was a religious nonconformist and writer: he wrote numerous religious books over his lifetime.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of American literature's finest writers; his writing style was very distinct and unusual in some aspects. It is his background that provided this ambiguous and complex approach to writing. Hawthorne's New England heritage has, at times, been said to be the contributing factor in his works. The Puritan view of life itself was considered to be allegorical, their theology rested primarily on the idea of predestination and the separation of the saved and the damned As evident from Hawthorne's writings his intense interest in Puritanical beliefs often carried over to his novels such as, Young Goodman Brown, The Scarlet Letter, and The Minister's Black Veil just to name a few of the more well known pieces of his work.

Throughout the span of the past few weeks I have traversed the globe, visiting several countries and regions, only to realize that although new methods develop, language as a way of expressing ones self has remained the most effective. Despite this fact, language still has its pitfalls. Neil Postman, in his essay “Defending Against the Indefensible,'; outlines seven concepts that can be used to aid a student in better understanding the language as a means of communication. He describes how modern teaching methods leave a student vulnerable to the “prejudices of their elders';, further stating that a good teacher must always be skeptical. He urges teachers of all subjects to break free from traditional teachings as
