They decide to collect wood from a shed near the cottage. But when they went to the shed they found a safe which contains some mysterious objects. This begins an argument between the 5 cousins. So what they end up deciding to do is for each of them to go to one of the locations on their grandfathers passports and use the clues given to them. So with a gun in one hand and a passport in the other he heads off on his adventure.
The book has a somewhat colourful cast of main characters and these are their names:
• Adam Mclean or Murphy – Adam is one of the 7 cousins who heads to Bermuda to find out who his grandfather was. He has to use his smarts and physical prowess while battling his alter ego bad Adam to overcome his set challenges. Adam is a James Bond fan as well as anything that has to do with spies which end up greatly impacting the story. I really did not like Adam because he was pretty predictable. Adam’s motivations are to find out who his grandfather was. I don’t like Adam because he is a pretty predictable

    Sometimes, perhaps once every two or three months, he places all these items together, in such a way that he can take them in with one sweep of his eye. In order not to disturb the mallow, the arrangement is generally made by dragging a coffee table to the window and placing all the other objects carefully on it. The four harps, three fungus specimens, the asphalt and benzoine, the sea urchin. When the collection has been set out in its order, he brings a chair from the kitchen and sits, observing his possessions. The observation brings him pleasure. It generally continues for several hours. He notes the differences and similarities between these objects, grouping and regrouping them in his mind. At these surveying times, he likes to comment – to himself, only to himself – that there is another item in the collection. A living item. A Jew. Himself.…

    Aws Aldajan What DuBois means by the concept of “Double Consciousness” is that people sometimes want to feel they belong to something so they look at themselves through the eyes of others and from others perspective. In the text that we read, he is referring to the life of the African American people especially during the times of slavery when the black people were waiting for Emancipation as William described it. DuBois explained this scenario by writing “The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife – this longing to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self. In this merging he wishes neither of the older selves be lost” (4). This statement just tells us that double conscious…

    Wrongful Conviction

    Imagine a completely innocent individual being convicted for a crime he or she had no involvement in but being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The individual lives out his or her jail sentence in an orderly fashion only to be found not guilty after more than a decade with the discovery of vital evidence produced by advanced technology. This is just one of countless cases of wrongful conviction of innocent people by the justice system. Since 1989, countless of cases were found wrongfully convicted after the case had been closed, but were reopened thanks to the advancement in the justice system such as the usage of DNA testing. Problem is, if this is the state of our justice system at the moment, where there is such a large chance of someone being wrongfully accused and having to serve in prison for so many years and only to be released after the damage has already been done, one would always fear that type of justice system. The innocent should fear the justice system no matter how…
