Cinder, City Of Ember By Marissa Meyer
People may say that “taking risks can have rewarding results” but this is true and can be seen in the two books “Cinder, City Of Ember”. In the book, Cinder by Marissa Meyer, Cinder is a teenage mechanic, at the age of 17 is on earth during this horrible plague that has swept across the world. Given this plague, Cinder must survive the plague. The cure for this disease is in the hands of Dr. Erland. Cinder must find the cure to save everyone while meeting a few people along the way. One person she meets is a handsome prince who likes her and she likes him they help each other along the way. Though the book tries to tell me that “taking risks can have rewarding results” I know this because in both books(Cinder, City Of Ember) there is a trend of taking place they both have info of some kind of problem for instance in cinder there is that horrible plague that she, Cinder needs to find the cure for. …show more content…

    I am confused by the fact that Cinder chose to go to Europe in search for a woman instead of going to Dr. Erland. Another question I thought of while reading the book was, why would Scarlet trust a man who used to work with kidnappers, he could be lying to her. This book reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood as they both have similar characters, in both books there is a little girl, a wolf and a grandmother. I love how Meyer’s books are so similar to classic fairy tales but yet they are so different. Myer writes this book in the future where an emperor rules the whole world. A question I have for the Mrs. Meyer is, what made her think of changing the government from a democratic government to a monarchy. Overall I love this book and I can’t wait to finish it. I just hope it isn’t a cliffhanger like the previous book,…

    In the book The Leaving, I think the author, Tara Alterbrando, was trying to get the point across not to trust everyone you meet and to be aware of your surroundings. In this book, 6 kindergarteners were abducted and only 5 of them returned 11 years later with no memory of what happened to them. It turns out that their principal along with a scientist took them and tried to erase their memory of a school shooting. The experiment ended up lasting longer than expected and they had to keep the kids for 11 more years. People shouldn’t have trusted the principal and should’ve been paying more attention and been aware of the kids.…

    In 2010, Laura Hillenbrand released a brilliant tribute to a resilient national hero, Louis “Louie” Zamperini, whose story was not widely known at the time. Fast forward four years and this tribute, Unbroken, has been made into a major motion picture and the remarkable story of the Olympian-turned-soldier has reached the masses. In the book Unbroken, which I read shortly after it was released, Hillenbrand chronicles Zamperini’s epic and, at times, terrifying odyssey. Raised in California, he was the son of Italian immigrants.…

    Often, when discussing the enslavement of African Americans within American history, we hear the harrowing tales of beatings, chases, and field work which many of these slaves had to face. However, a very little-known perspective is of the houseslave. Due to their lighter skin-tones which placed them in the position, these slaves are often deemed as being the “better-off” of those than those of a darker tone. However, Harriet Jacobs provides a different perspective from this narrative. Jacobs describes the mental and sometimes physical abuse she suffered from her master, and how he granted her freedom for his own satisfactions.…

    In this reading, Choi Gyeongchun provides a descriptive background of servant leadership and biblical stories that structure servant leadership. Gyeongchun starts by quoting Greenleaf, “‘leadership was bestowed upon a person who was by nature a servant,”’ a person must first be a servant (Gyeongchun, 2014, p. 8). “According to Greenleaf, someone’s ability to lead is demonstrated by his or her disposition to serve. It is well known that Greenleaf’s concepts of servant leadership (e.g., listening, acceptance, empathy, foresight, awareness, persuasion, conceptualizing, healing and serving” (Gyeongchun, 2014, p. 8). Furthermore, “the biblical narrative depicts many examples of those who embody the characteristics and principles of servant leadership…
