I read this book in high school, and I really enjoyed it. After we were finishing reading the book we had a guest speaker who was a Vietnam war vet come into our class and speak on different parts of the book. I picked this short story to do my paper on because I felt like I had the most connection to this story because of my prior knowledge from reading the book. I do think I am getting some parts confused with the short story and the book. I know when I read the book in high school some chapters were very dull and boring but others were exciting and interesting. After reading the short story it was just a refreshment of the interesting things that happened in the book.

In Steinbeck's novel, The Grapes of Wrath, he describes the struggle of the small farmer and farmworker.

This short story narrates about a woman named Martha Bes that apparently died. The main character is debating whether or not she is alive or dead. Also she goes about asking what God wanted her to do. “The book of Martha” written by Octavia Butler uses literary elements to present the overall message what is God’s purpose in life.

My case study student Martha has only been in America for almost 2 years and has a come a long way with her English acquisition. Even though her progress has been incredible, she still has a long way to go until she is reclassified as English proficient. Martha interacts more comfortably with her peers than with her educational instructors. Overall, her schooling program offers her a lot of opportunities for growth and English acquisition. While her two years in Palm Vista Elementary have been very different, I believe they have both been beneficial. Some of the benefits her program offers her is a low affective filter and her intervention program. These two things have helped Martha feel safe at school and have helped her on her journey to

Overall the book is a great historical book that teaches people not just about the horrors of the war but those who continued to fight for the justice for all humans. It explains the difficulty of finding these people and the amount of work required to find and capture these

The central conflict in the story has a large part to play in influencing the development experienced by Connor, which consequently reveals the theme; that in rough situations, life is worth the fight. In this case, the conflict between the societal law of

I think the author is trying to say in the book is don't be scared of most things. the stories mostly courage. you're in the Civil War and you are helping the North fight the South and you almost get killed in the battle so I think this book is about courage because I would probably be scared to death. is mostly showing me that you have to be brave and what you do in all things the problem in the story

Martha is a rising fourth grader who attends the North Carolina School for the Deaf, and she is Hard-of-Hearing. Her school is unlike public schools in that teachers and students use sign language as the primary form of communication. Martha delights in activities that children with “normal” hearing also enjoy such as shopping with her mom, playing games like Trouble, writing, drawing, spending time with her family, assisting with chores, and watching television. She discusses how she frequents Chic-Fil-A where on occasion she will meet other girls that comprehend some sign language. These girls usually show interest in wanting to be her friend, so they exchange phone numbers so they can get to know one another. In order to communicate with

The story deals with war and the struggle a person has to go through during and after the wars over. If a person were not treated after the war that person would experience a psychological disorder such as PSTD (Post-traumatic stress disorder), which could lead suicidal thought. No one knows what the person faced in the war, especially if the person experienced his or her friend’s death. That is terrifying. The writer deals with symbols and what is represented in the western society, in the story. The story is noted that they were brought up in a Christian that is how he was able to raise a lot of money, by helping the nuns. Henry and Lyman are really nice Christian, considering the fact, they helped a lady, by giving her a ride back home.

The main theme of the book is the ‘character’ of people in that time. How people bonded and rejected one another in a time of such hardship and demoralization. I think every character played a part in the

After the first twenty pages of reading, I was hooked on the book and started to find out more information page by page. It was interesting to me mostly because it was based upon facts that actually occurred during the Vietnam War. The one part of the book that I enjoyed most was towards the end of the book where they said how

The novel The Grapes of Wrath is in many ways a one-of-a-kind piece of literature. This work is set up unlike any other book, written in a series of chapters and inter-chapters, which do a remarkable job of informing the reader of the travels the characters in the book are going through. Not only does the story focus on the problems one family goes through, but explains the problem is happening to many more civilians than the story focus's on. Steinbeck does not leave out a single detail about the Joad family and their journey to California, and that in itself is what makes his writing so entertaining. Not only is this a very powerful topic to write about, but the remarkable writing style of author John Steinbeck makes this book a

The two short stories “In Another Country” and “Breakfast” both have the themes family and disillusionment. The importance of these two themes is family and disillusionment is also found in The Grapes of Wrath. Having both themes being involved in the short stories and the novel shows the connection between each story.
