By reading the book, ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” I realized and understood different ways to have adversity. There is a lot of adversity in our world today and in how you act upon adversity can determine how you succeed in life. Christopher, the main character in the book I read, had a lot of struggles in his life with one having autism, but also having family problems. His dad hid a lot of things from him…
My personality results were Lion and orange/gold. I agree a lot with the animal personality more than the color personality results. I see myself as a person that would take charge more than anything else. Not someone who would sit back and wait for something to happen. I rather be the “playmaker” and make things happen. I enjoy to be challenged and adventurous, with the color it stated that I was known to be the center of attention. At times…

EBSCOhost, doi:10.15699/jbl.1361.2017.1363. This first source was a very interesting source, having different view points and perspectives. This individual made this source very bias to the topic that I was trying to research about, Black Lives Matter. This source was based off of the perspective of the supportive side to the “Black Lives Matter…
Hotel Rwanda was a very touching movie that showed emotion of what truly happened. Personally as an American, I had no idea that this ever happened in Rwanda. As American’s we get so caught up into our lives and we don’t care what happens in other countries. These things that happen in other countries don’t affect us so it doesn’t matter in the normal American eye. I would for sure watch this movie again if I had the chance. I…
I got through my book, all 272 pages. I finished it in the last week that we were trying to get our books finished. The book ended with the main character accomplishing his dream at the beginning of the book. The main thing I noticed is just the way that Erin Hunter described the situations the characters were in. It gave me an image in my mind of what the character was truly experiencing. I really enjoyed the ending of…
I continue to read Warriors: Into the Wild. Thus far, the author, Erin Hunter, has developed the characters in a way to show conflict. What Erin Hunter shows foreshadowing and description of setting. As of right now, Firepaw continues his training to become a warrior, but within that, there was chaos. There was a gathering when I was reading, which is when a few cats from each clan come together to meet each other in peace. ShadowClan, a cat clan, had…
For my free reading book, Warriors: Into the Wild, there are only a couple things that truly interest more. In other words, things that were brought to my attention from how the author has created this writing. The one thing that was brought to my attention was the description of a certain character through their dialogue and actions. The other thing is the character development. Before I give you examples of these things, I will give you a little summary of…
Death of a Salesman has a very interesting ending, but has a lot of meaning to what it is trying to portray. It really shows another perspective of what the American Dream is. With Willy’s struggles it truly tells us what the American Dream can be like. The American Dream at time sometimes just sounds to good to be true in some people’s eyes. With Willy, he knows that he is failing and that he is not…
I think that Of Mice and Men was a very interesting novel overall. It expressed the “American Dream” with many different characters and ways. With that being said I was not expecting its ending. George was the one that was leading Lennie to think that they would have their “American Dream” as soon as possible. In a blink of an eye, Lennie never got to see that dream because his best friend took his life. “I got you and you…
