Milton uses the word "How" in both the titles and I cant help but wonder "Is there something to examine there?"

If so then how will it be accomplished? What needs to happen

Perhaps it stems from the primal instinct to survive and along with that a common theme behind this desire seems to be an effort to make the world a better place, either more aesthetically pleasing, or easier to survive in.

However, “the Great White Man refuses to hear the drum’s musical offering; yet, the drum responds to the rhythm of the keyboard.” The part where the colonial powers influenced

actual Salem witch trials. Tolerance is a result of different people’s experiences, such as conflicts with each other, or themselves, the actions of the characters, and the different themes that tie into the novel.

your fortune to those who could use the help. His idea of giving to those who would use the help to better themselves and reach their full potential through building libraries is a great idea.
