Throughout this semester we have analyzed many tales revolving around different “heroes” and their accomplishments. Our first “hero” was Ree Dolly in an independent film called Winter’s Bone, she had to find her father in order to keep the land her family lived on. The next hero was Chris McCandles from Into the Wild who was sick of living within the boundaries of normal life and wanted to go somewhere where he could truly live. Then, we had Juror #8 from 12 Angry Men who is put up to the task of

Within award winning author, Dave Eggers’, non-fiction account of Zeitoun, he deconstructs one man’s struggle during a horrendous natural disaster that had hit New Orleans, Louisiana in 2005. Eggers highlights the injustices of the legal system during Hurricane Katrina, after the 9/11

had that creepy feeling that someone is watching you, but when you look around no one is there? Or wonder how everyone seems to know your every move? That could be how we would feel on a daily basis if we really were to implement some of the ideas Dave Eggers puts forth in his book, The Circle. Concepts such as "secrets are lies”, undisclosed ideas can be a detriment to the company; “sharing is caring", every aspect of your life should be “shared” with others; and "privacy is theft”, concealment

I've always wondered about his whole life, I don't know about you though, but I know about it now and figured I'd share it with you now. Dave Grohl's childhood was rougher than it should've been, his interest in music came early, and he wasn't very successful with school. His beginning with Nirvana was good, he had a successful and decently timed run with them, and he didn't have as long

inspire. I feel that A Child Called “It” by Dave Pelzer, will be one of those books for me. Chapter 1 is titled The Rescue. It starts off with Dave washing the dishes and trying to deal with his mother who continues to hit him. It explains the abusive situation that Dave is in. Dave at one point says he rather be hit than have his food taken away from him. The mother, who is hungover, than drives him and his brother to school. Once at school Dave is examined by the nurse who sees all the bruises

By reading the recent news stories of Zeitoun and his ex-wife Kathy, my perception of him was extremely skewed as I read Zeitoun. Rather than viewing him as the heroic and invincible man that he was, I found myself constantly looking forward to the abusive man he is, ignoring the courageous acts he had accomplished. He originally comes off as a fearless, valiant man in the novel Zeitoun, but now he is a criminal. This alteration was provoked. The current actions of Zeitoun enhance Eggers’ purpose

A Child Called “It,” by Dave Pelzer, has been one of my favorite books for as long as I can remember. The title, alone, drew me in. Who is “It?” What kind of name is “It?” The only way to discover the answers to my questions, was to read and find out. “It” is a boy named David, who suffers from abuse by his mother, and neglect from his father.
