172 Hours On The Moon
In the sci-fi novel 172 Hours on the Moon by Johan Harstad, I thought the book was really good and entertaining throughout. The plot of this book was all over the place, because it was written in the perspective of three very different people. Each different perspective on the plot was extremely interesting for each of the characters, even though the main characters, Mia, Midori, and Antoine, lived in different countries. The climax was different and at a different point for each of them, and that is what made the book such a page turner. There were many twists and turns and things that you didn't expect to happen. The writing style of the author was amazing considering he was able to write in different perspectives of 3 different characters

    The book is told in a circuitous way; I found the jumping back and forth in time a bit distracting, but more off-putting was the way Xeones forecasts an event or subplot before narrating it in detail later. Already knowing how Thermopylae turned out, I was hoping for some suspense in the details, but there too Pressfield tells us the end before getting started on the story…

    One reason to read this book is how fast emotions change. On one page the characters are laughing the next they are grieving over a family member who is a victim of a deadly plague that will take life. On one page the main character is rampaging and destroying technology the next she is trying to save her sister's life. If you like books with fast mood changes that this is the book for you.

    John C. Calhoun supported slavery because he believed that it was beneficial to the states in order for them to become prosperous. Because of that belief, Calhoun stated that it is up to individual states to protect the existence of slavery in order to keep moving forward. Another idea he brings up is that slaves should never be equal to white American citizens. If there were to be two free races, both of equal size, one will always have to be subjective to the other. Basically, he believed that it would be virtually impossible for all races to ever be truly equal to each other. This really just enforces the idea that many people held in America that white people will always be superior to everyone.…

    Perfect Chemistry

    • 433 Words

    A book tells a story and gives you a visual in your head. Perfect chemistry is a story of a boy in a gang and a girl with a perfect reputation. Their attraction to each other comes as a surprise as though a slap to the face. This was something neither on them wanted but when they explored the attraction since they couldn’t keep away from each other, they fell in love. The genre of this story is young adult since the story contains problems from the normal teen’s life. The story is told from the girl’s and boy’s point of view and changing in each chapter, going from the boy to the girl. The style used in this book is very simple, though some vocabulary words may be difficult to conceive. The story is especially two teens and how life may seem different one the outside for them but really their lives were quite similar. Some problems for them may not have been the normal teens but mostly a teen can relate to most of their problems. The genre is young adult because of the characters being about the high school age and having a story similar with a lot of teen living in the cities, where violence and gangs are normal way of life. In most books, the story is told from only one character’s view but in this one it was told from both the male and female character’s view. This helped in explaining how each event in the story had an effect on them and how they reacted to it. The reader is told the story where most details are known only to the reader but no other characters. The author has used some figurative language, has followed the normal sentence structure for the most part. The vocabulary in the books was difficult at times; some words wouldn’t have been comprehensible unless a dictionary was near. This story has different layers to it and may seem difficult to grasp at first but as soon as the reader gets past a chapter or two, it grabs the reader’s attention, quickly. The story is about two…
