Into the Wild a story that gave a life event and a deranged experience. I personally believe no one would want to experience what Mcandless went through ever. Unless of course they like to be lonely like sir and have " freedom." like McCandless himself. Even then I would still think people out in this world would not want to live what he went through, So frightened to know you prefer being alone with no ones help. To come to think that freedom does exist and you'll have it one day but, will you really

Note 2. A cascade of striking old images and memories are stealing my sleep, old-but-new (and fresh) memories increasingly arising from a past I didn’t recognize twenty-something years ago. Most of the old you already have heard of, the ones that, with your help, I left in your office I don’t know how many times. The old-but-new are fresh and painful – the ones I collected throughout the time since I made the decision to follow my husband and move to California, to leave my country, my community

Imagine you are walking into a library. You pick up a book and start reading the summary. You notice that the character’s life is very similar to what you are experiencing at home, at school, and in your personal life. The character is also similar to you in behavior. What you probably don't know is that what you are relating is characterization, conflict, and narration. I have experienced this too while I read and because of that I can say that literature and life are connected through characterization

Quote Response Success is characterized by meeting a certain social standard either from meeting an outward expectations or achieving a personal dream or goal. Maya Angelou put it as, “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it”. I believe that success should be sought after as reaching personal happiness rather than pursuing a goal set forth by others. I do believe it is amendable for your peers, mentors, and supporters to believe you have reached the level of success

Personal Bias: Response Paper Personal bias is a topic that many do not enjoy discussing, but understanding bias is crucial to social progress and acceptance.

Personal Response Gary Collins provides a plethora of valuable information for individuals in pursuit of life coaching. The presented literature provides clear and concrete information that easy to apply to practice. I think the most influential information that Collins describes is the process of growth and the role of the coach. Tony Stoltzfus states, “Coaching is helping people learn instead of teaching them” (As seen in Collins, 2009, p. 19). Coaches are the individuals who walk through

“Night” by Elie Wiesel – Personal Responses Chapter 1 • Moché the Beadle’s story is very disturbing. He had experienced horrible atrocities and risked his life to warn his fellow townspeople. However, the latter did not believe him yet alone listen to him. They called him the madman. This passage is hard for the reader, who knows what is going to happen to the Jews later on (situational irony). Moché was also foreshadowing what was going to happen to the Jews. This warning also brings about the

I feel the same way Bessie did when she said she didn't understand why she would would hear these white people were doing such terrible things to black people. See i'm known for being a flower child, advocating love even if means rebelling against what society wants, I view all lives as equal and I dont discriminate for someone's race, gender, sexualtiy, their background, etc.. Thats not to say I didn't grow up hearing about it like bessie did, and like Bessie, I still hear it today. I’ve just always

I really wanted to rate more than 3.5 to this book, but I have to be honest, there were too many WHAT THE HECK moments for me, in the end I felt really conflicted... I love a good rocker novel, and when both characters are musicians that really makes me happy. I thought Abby and Jake's story was sweet and funny. Though I enjoyed it, and it was another page turner for me, thus I really wish I would've liked it more. I couldn't get past the fact that Jake might possibility have some sort of multiple

Every day I stand near the garbage compactor and watch pounds and pounds of produce go down the garbage hole never eaten for many reasons. Some produce is simply too ugly for customers to want to consume, for example like a deformed bell pepper, a bent cucumber, a freckled banana. Some produce is gently bruised like an apple that was pressed a little too hard or a tomato that was bruised from customers “testing” it for juiciness. So much produce that has little to nothing wrong with it is simply

This book is suitable for children and appealing to them because it embraces the concept of family in an important, but sadly underrepresented way. The book does not focus on the typical father-son, mother-son, or even sibling-sibling relationship. Instead, it expands this framework to include an even older generation, the grandparents. In many ways, the figure of the grandparent in our current culture and when the book was written take on an absent or separating characteristic. They are normally

1.) Initially, my first impression of this excerpt was unique. I felt as though I have read similar situations in other novels, however, the author describes the environment unlike any other. First, I wondered what the aliens were planning, and what effect it would have on humanity. Similarly, the characters in the book behaved the same way, some trying to communicate with the aliens, and others just wondering about them. It felt as though we were all moths flying around a bug-zapper, too mystified

I am reading the book, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The recent chapters we have been reading focus on how to walk in someone else’s shoes. In chapter 10, 11, and 12 mostly talks about how Aunt Alexandra comes and lives with them for a while and how Jem is maturing more. In chapters 13, 14, and 15 shows that Atticus goes to the jail cell where Tom Robinson is and so Jem, Dill, and Scout sneak out and go looking for him. They see that a mob of men are coming towards Atticus and Tim, so Scout

I'm now on the last book of, The New Prophecy so far it's a great book! Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw realize they really did love each other! I felt like I was going to explode if they had one more fight! What brought them together was a fight against the beaver's! When that beaver kill Cinderpelt I was bawling my eyes out. Though Cinderpelt's death was terribly sad, I think Cinderpelt was an awesome character and the Erin's didn't have to kill her off. The cats in the book said she was a very

Personal Response When I first picked up this book I thought that it was another Vietnam era book talking about the battles and other things of that nature. When I got past the first chapter my views on this book flipped around. This is one of my favorite books I have read so far in 2016. Plot The Things They Carried is about the psychological effects the Vietnam war had on the soldiers. The author, Tim O’Brien, has witnessed the war and is the main character. Tim describes the effects of the
