The Pact

The ones I sympathize with When I read “The Pact”, I felt some connection between the characters; Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Hunt Rameck. Throughout their hardship and struggles, It encouraged me to read on. But as I continued reading on, the three main characters stood out the most. But out of those three characters, one stood out in particular. Throughout his experiences and trials, I could see myself in that situation. In how he felt, in the manner in how he saw things around, I could

“The Pact” by Jodi Picoult perfectly describes a typical high school romance. The story accurately creates a scene straight from a teen’s mind. The book is based on two teens Emily and Chris, who are in love, a love so strong they are willing to die for, or rather with each other. Emily and Chris create a suicide pact together, but since only one of teens, (Emily) is actually suicidal, and when the gun only kills one, the question of suicide or murder, stirs in the air.

The Warsaw pact was the result of a treaty which the USSR and seven of its surrounding countries signed. The treaty was signed by the USSR, Albania, Poland, Romania, Hungary, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Bulgaria, in Warsaw, Poland in 1955.

The USSR stated that the reason for the creation of this
