Will Eisner's A Contract With God

I really enjoyed the book because I love reading very interesting and right at the

The book How the Other Half lives, is one of those books that definitely affects you as soon as you read it. Jacob Riis the author of the book, wrote it exactly for the purpose, to affect people and get them to realize how bad the conditions were back then in New York City. He goes into full depth, of what the living conditions were like, who lived in them, and how they were affected by them. Mostly how each ethnic group lived in the tenements, and what the city did to improve them.

After reading “Superman and Me,” the reader may realize that the story is an account of the affect reading had on Alexie’s whole life. In turn this leads to the discovery of the story’s theme. The theme of Sherman Alexie’s “Superman and Me” is that education is valuable, and culture or background do not correlate to

I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested

This novel relates to real life very well because everybody has problems or struggles they need to overcome, just like Braverman and Addie. I think Addie is a tough person because she has dealt with so much, but she doesn't necessarily let it affect her that much. Initially, she had to take care of her niece,

I’d like to build on what I was saying about understanding the book, when I read it especially in certain chapters when something big happened, I could predict what was going to happen. This was a really intense book but after the theme I could understand it.

I did find it a little complicated to keep up with all the characters after new ones kept being introduced but as the story continued to develop it became easier for me to keep track of who was who. Since point of views kept changing throughout the story it also confused me a bit but once I realized it was a style like the one of The Tortilla Curtain since both books are by T. C. Boyle, it also became easier to understand. Imagining a life like the one in Drop City definitely seems more corrupt. It made me question if maybe the characters them selves will end up making a mess out of their community. Star is a character who already shows that a life like that is only enjoyed for a certain amount of time. I also think that bad things will continue to happen like the rape because it seems like nobody take measures on their

It is scary when you don’t know anybody and have to try to make new friends. Many of your young childhood friends will stay with you for a lifetime. Today, I am still friends with many of my oldest friends. They have become like family. I want to say that this novel is a great way for people to see how somebody from a diverse population lives. It is a great book from the view of somebody living a completely different life than I have lived. I think it was very well written and is easy to read. This makes it a great teaching tool for children of younger age groups or college students as well. I read this entire book at one sitting because it kept my interest the entire time. I couldn’t wait to see what

I think the book appeals to everyone who has ever felt rejected, castaway, or uncertain whether their family or friends would accept them if they knew what really goes on under the surface.

Over the summer when I was sitting home and reading, The book was extremely hard and confusing to me. The book was so boring it was hard for my brain to stay focused on it. After a few chapters that I read I was hoping I could go look up some notes online to see if i get what was actually happening in the book, but no there was nothing on it. The whole summer I had to read that book and read chapters over and over again until I really understood the book and what was happening in the chapters.

Like I said in my mid-way point journal entry, I feel that the book took a while to pull me in. I would also like to note that in the second half of the book, which I count is after the sixteenth chapter about to be the seventeenth chapter, I am being pulled in very fast. Lewis jumps right out and does not start with a small issue, such as an argument between the man and his mother. He creates very difficult situations that the man has to be careful of or he will fall into the temptation of Wormwood and join the dark side. Later, I will go more in depth with some of the big issues at hand in this book.

     I believe that this was a pretty decent book, at times it was boring and

Some may argue against the book being understandable, descriptive and clear. Some may argue that this book is boring because it is non-fiction. The problem is, when thinking about non-fiction, people usually use stereotypes. They think non-fiction books have no storyline and that they are just full of facts. That is not true for this book. This is the story of James Longstreet’s life. We get to experience all the struggles and hardships he faced along with some of the exciting things that happened in his life. It is interesting. Other people may say that it’s too easy, but it’s not. There are very many characters and it’s hard to keep them straight. Also, there are some occasional vocabulary words that are difficult to understand. So neither of those statements are a valid argument.

The only downside to this novel is that I wasn’t particularly into the exposition. The first couple pages didn’t interest me to the point where I would not want to stop reading the book. However, the climax did change the

I have grown as a reader, thinker and writer thanks to this course. These are the things that I have worked on and improved over the past couple of months and I feel that my work shows this. In no way do I mean to sound over confident, I know I still have plenty to learn. However, I am extremely surprised and proud of myself. I will admit I had thoughts of previously giving up, I allowed myself to focus too much on the negative. Now, however, I feel differently. I have learned through this course how to write, how to express myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don 't know. Most importantly, I learned to
