[1] The silent film, With Daniel Boone Thru the Wilderness, was produced in 1926: a time of prosperity, an era without the skepticism of the modern American mind. People were not yet questioning the stories and histories they had been taught as children. The entertaining story told in this Robert North Bradbury film is loosely based on the life of an American hero. However, the presence of several insidiously inaccurate historical representations demonstrates how an entertaining film might not be as innocent as it initially seems. This film fails to question certain key issues concerning the Daniel Boone legend. In fact, it does quite the opposite. The creators of this

We start out in Lake Windsor, the housing development where Paul and his family live. Their neighborhood is nestled in among a bunch of other ritzy developments with fancy-sounding names, like the Manors of Coventry, and the Villas at Versailles. Lake Windsor even has its own middle and high school, so, for the first part of the book, the Fisher family's lives revolve around that one area of town. Mrs. Fisher heads up their Home Owner Association Architectural Committee, Erik joins his school's football team, and even Paul makes friends in their neighborhood.

If you knew you were about to literally explode, would you do something about it or ignore it? Most humans like to ignore their problems in hopes that they will disappear on their own. On her way to enjoy Taco Tuesday, Cheryl ignored stomach problems in order to stop her hunger faster. After ignoring her problem and indulging the problem got worse until eventually she “exploded” which could have been prevented if she dealt with it at the start. In Boone’s anecdote she shines light on people’s eagerness to judge, how ignoring problems can backfire, and uses different literary strategies to prove both of those.

Along the path of self-discovery, challenges constantly present themselves as opportunities to grow intellectually and as a chance to succeed. Often times, the use of personal judgment and self-understanding is necessary in order to overcome these challenges. In Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck experiences difficulties which compel him to use his moral judgment. Huck, a young boy in search of freedom, is accompanied by a runaway slave named Jim as he embarks on a treacherous journey down the Mississippi River. During his adventure, Huck must determine the fate of the runaway slave. However, as his relationship with the slave deepens, he comes to realize this task is far from simple. Huck faces this life-defining yet

In the novel, when speaking about how his father left him, Theo states his father left him and his mother “...(without money, child support, or forwarding address)” (10). This quote fully shows what was taken from their family, and shows how they are forced to live without it. It expresses misery and lack of necessities. The narration gives insight into how his father left them with almost nothing, and how it may have influenced their way of

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, the central character encounters moral, physical, and psychological danger, especially with the Grangerfords.

Christopher Boone articulates The Curious Incident, however, this novel isn’t told by an average fifteen-year-old boy; Christopher has Asperger’s syndrome—this isn’t stated in the novel, but we can acquire this knowledge simply by reading Christopher’s words. People with Asperger’s tend to have difficulty with social interactions, and Christopher clearly displays this inability when trying to figure out the emotions on the paper that Siobhan draws for him (1), also when he states, “ I find people confusing” (17). Another aspect of Asperger’s syndrome is a fascination with letters and numbers, this aspect is clear in the labeling of the chapters with prime numbers, his tactic to calm him self down by doing math in his head and finally by his adamant need to take A-level math and eventually physics. Nevertheless, this uniqueness about Christopher creates an unexpected narrative twist on this murder mystery novel.

Asperger´s disorder is not a disease, but a developmental brain disorder. It is four times more prevalent in boys than in girls and it shows no racial, ethnic or social boundaries. Family income, lifestyle and educational levels do not affect the chance of Asperger´s disorder's occurrence. According to Hans Asperger:

“He is one of the Ewell’s, ma’am,” a child told me. This explanation was the second of its kind I had received that day. I hadn’t been in Maycomb for long and I didn’t know the ethics of a small town. I listened on to see what the child had to say. Education doesn’t appear to be one of the Ewell family’s principles. It seemed that the children attend the school for the first day of each school year just to satisfy the law.

People think that only the people who you associate yourself with have a significant importance, however a stranger you might bump into can result in a day, or even, life changing experience. Many of the novel’s minor characters are actually major influences on the life of Christopher Boone; unlike others who are supposed to be more important to Christopher, they accept him which allows Christopher to gain independence and confidence he needs to cope with difficulties. Throughout the novel, Christopher encounters many minor characters that help him maintain himself. A noticeable one would be Siobhan.

He was an American pioneer and hunter whose frontier explorations made him one of the first heroes of the United States.
