    The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman

    This chapter which introduced me to Lia’s family was interesting. I was shocked to read that in her mother’s country of Laos, Lia would have been born by her mother squatting on the floor! They also used special created remedies to solve health issues without relying on hospitals or clinics. It was also interesting to read how important the Hmong people believed in sprits and how their life decisions where decided around the sprit actions. For example, they believed that male sprit’s held up their house roof, if the male’s placenta was buried near the central pillar of the house. Lia was even blessed by the elders because her parents believed that it was a way of protecting her from ever getting sick. If anything, reading this chapter quickly gave me a quick preview of the clash that Lia’s cultural beliefs will have with the American doctors when she gets sick in the future chapters. However, I’m hoping that this book will pick up a little faster and have less history moving forward (being honest lol)…

    Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air

    Standing at an unfathomable height of 29,029 ft, Mount Everest is the world’s highest Himalayan peak. Adventure junkies and passionate climbers can only dream of such a colossal trek, but when presented with an almost unresistable opportunity, Jon Krakauer couldn't refuse the offer. In his New York Times bestselling novel Into Thin Air, Krakauer shares his personal recount of the incidents that occurred during his journey to the summit of Everest in 1996. Consequent to the publication of both Krakauer’s novel and his article in Outside magazine, multitudes of public opinion, criticism, viewpoints, and questions have been raised. One question that has yet to be put to rest, probably due to the sensitivity and controversy surrounding the topic,…

    Volar By Judith Ortiz Cofer

    What can we learn when we journey through life? Journeys and experiences can help us evolve to overcome fears, losses, and help gain wisdom. Experiences that were gained through life and journeys were written in the story "Volar" by Judith Ortiz Cofer, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, and the poem “12 (From ‘Gitanjali)”. In “Valor” the narrator dreams of herself being a superhero in the world she wishes to break free from her real-life limitations.

    Avarice By Yusef Komunyakaa

    Having what you want and what you need is difficult to balance, especially when you want more and forget about needs, and then there becomes a problem. We always want things in life that we cannot have and need things in life that we often forget about. Life is not always fair, and you get what life dishes out for you. Some receive more out of life, while others do not get as much and this is when people forget what is really needed. The decision of what you want versus need is very hard, because you do not realize what you have, or what you need until you lose it and have to work extra hard to regain what you had.…

The short story positions the reader to have negative and sympathetic opinion on the issues presented. Such as power, identity and bullying. For example Mickey the young boy is having issues facing his identity. It could be argued that finding your identity may have the individual stuck trying to fit in with upon two groups.…

    Ashes By Susan Pfeffer

    Susan Pfeffer’s story “Ashes” teaches a lesson about how trust is decided on past, not relationships. Ashleigh, “Ashes”, with divorced parents, talks about how when she is with her dad, the sun shines just a little bit brighter, but according to her mother, he is just an “irresponsible bum”. Ashes was a nickname her father gave her, which her mother hates. Ashes, says that her father hardly ever keeps a promise, such as when she was a kid, he told her that the stars were her necklace. One lesson the story suggests is that parent-child relationships can quickly change, depending on the choices they make.…

    Belvedere By M. C. Escher

    M.C. Escher’s Belvedere made in May 1958 is a unique and complex lithograph which draws heavily from surrealism and the surrealist movement of the early 20th century. It delivers a deep and complex view of architectural structures, which are puzzling to the eye. Surrealism began in the early 1920’s. It was an art style which existed to promote the painting of works which blurred lines between fantasy and actuality or rather dreams and reality. This style contrasted some earlier styles which were explicitly focused on capturing things perfectly as they were, such as earlier paintings by renaissance men like Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo.…
