This book was not that interesting because it took too long to get the point across and then they stayed on the point too long. Some parts of the book were good so it turns out to be a so so book or an okay book to read.…
The first thoughts I had about the text were very surprising to me because I actually thought the topic was interesting and very captivating. The author’s style really motivated me to pay attention to details and the story. I also enjoyed how descriptive she is when recalling her events because it helps make the text interesting to digest.…
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…
This book is organized like most other novels in chronological order with chapters and is orientated in third person. It was very readable and honestly an enjoyable read. The only flaw I see is the amount of dialogue that is in this book. John Allyn…

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. Something that makes this book even better is the cliffhanger ending.…
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.…

Ellison's "Battle Royal" and Kincaid's "Girl" were extremely difficult but interesting novels. As I explored these readings, I realized that they had some differences and similarities, but the one's that stood out, helped me get a better understanding of what these individual characters were facing. They displayed very distinct themes However, uncovered very similar social settings.…

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…
