In my visual, I have included a backdrop consisting of the town in which he resides. Within the scene, the houses and buildings are colored darker to represent the citizens’ negative feelings towards Tom. Once sold, it can be properly inferred that no one was going to “miss… Tom” (Twain 78). This disadvantage of the deceit in Pudd’nhead Wilson was that Tom’s personality developed for the worse. This is evident in him being sold down the river as his actions and personality, being driven by greed and a false lifestyle given by Roxy, tainted his reputation. His mistreatment of Chambers, his gambling, or “gaming debts,” and drinking addiction, all stemmed from being an imposter; Roxy’s deception moved Tom in the wrong direction, making him an immoral person (Twain 38). In my visual, I have included two rocks on either side of the boat that Tom is in. This represents his wrongdoings and the guilt that he carries as a result of his actions when he should have been a slave. If those rocks were removed then the boat would tip over, sink, and drown him. Despite his misconduct, Tom must live with the consequences of deceit, one of which is becoming a

John DIlulio Jr. discusses Wilson’s new book and the facts interpreted in it. The book discusses how poverty is rising in African Americans in and outside of the Chicago City. I think John does a good job incorporating in how Wilson uses “thousands of surveys and face to face interviews” for his research in the book. To me, it makes the book really stand out due to how the sources are portrayed to make the book be updated and fact based than opinion based. It has a really positive effect to whatever the writing may be to have reliable facts and sources through out the piece.

Wilson’s disease is a rare genetic disorder affecting about 1 in 30,000 people (Schilsky, 2014) in which excess copper accumulates in the body, notably the liver and the brain (Anon, undated). It is an autosomal recessive condition in which the ATP7B gene on chromosome 13 (EASL, 2012) is defective. There are around 500 known mutations that can cause this defectivity (Tidy, 2014). The ATP7B gene codes for a copper-transporting P-type ATPase usually found in hepatocytes (Huster, 2010) (Roberts & Schilsky, 2008) that excretes excess copper into bile (EASL, 2012) (Roberts & Schilsky, 2008). When this gene is defective, it causes copper to build up in the liver which can be transported in the bloodstream to other organs such as the brain

First, it's about Tom Sawyer. He has changed a lot from the beginning to the end of the novel. One way he has matured is emotionally. You get a sense that he’s always trying to do the right thing in the end. Unlike before, he was still struggling on desiring if he should do the right thing our not. But as you can see, when it comes to other people, he is always the one to take the blame. Like that one time with Becky Thatcher, when she tour the book page. But tom took the blame when beckey was inches away from being punished. And the other time was with Muff Potter. That was where tom felt so guilty that he told the truth about who actually committed the real murder.

When I hear the name Owen Wilson, I think of some of the most wretched, distasteful movies ever produced – ranging from Shanghai Noon and Hall Pass to Starsky & Hutch and Drillbit Taylor. Honestly, sometimes I can’t figure out how he remains active in Hollywood given the fact that his portrayals often walk a path similar to the haphazard career of Eddie Murphy – who hasn’t been in the relevant in a long, long time.
