Ms Rita Foxen called us and left three voice messages during this long weekend stating the SPD caseworker Joshua did not help her with her SSA, nor with her housing issues and her medicines.

In the story in the first book of the Unwind Dystology Unwind by Neal Shusterman, the character Connor Lassiter perfectly represents the 12 stages of the hero’s journey cycle. The Unwind Dystology is a book series based in a dystopian future where kids from the ages of 13-18 are eligible to be “unwound.” Unwinding is the process where a child's body becomes into a divided state.

“Soldiering is 99% boredom and 1% of sheer terror”, a civil war soldier wrote this to his wife in a letter and since then the composition of war has not changed. So, what did the soldiers do in those periods of boredom? Well, especially for the men in the frontlines, who were far from any form of entertainment, writing letters, diaries and poems were some of the few available options. These were the forms of war literatures that soldiers used to express and share their feelings with their loved ones

The turbulent societal changes of the mid-20th Century have been documented in countless forms of literature, film and art.
