When asked who is the greatest golfer of all time, what is the first name that comes to mind? This question has been debated for years and will continue to be for many years to come. Initially, most people will jump the gun and say Jack Nicklaus is the clear favorite because he has won eighteen major championships compared to Tiger’s fourteen.

Hatchet Book Report The book I read is Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. It is about a thirteen-year-old boy named Brian. This story takes place in the Canadian wilderness without a specified time. I think this book is both interesting and helpful because of its contents. To summarize the story, Brain was the sole passenger on the tiny Cessna 406 bush plane.

For the New York Islanders, it seems every year lately has been ‘make or break’, for a variety of reasons.

The Dharma Bums Aesthetic Response   After the opening chapter of the novel in which the narrator writes, "Just in my swim shorts, barefooted, wild-haired, in the red fire dark, singing, swigging wine, spitting, jumping, running- that's the way to live" (7), I knew that the book was not only going to be interesting, but also great.
