David Moody
The story, created by David Moody, compares to a train moving away from a station platform. At first, a person could run alongside the track easily, though as the train speeds up, there comes a moment that the runner anticipates the futility of persevering, and as the cars rush forward, the person inevitably slows down, or at the last moment a decision emerges to jump on for the ride.
I was that runner, easily bored at the beginning of the book--my mind outracing the slowness of the words, but approaching the finish line, my every thought fixated on this speeding target, and the ride arrived in a blur of insanity.

The destruction of mankind achieved by the resolute desire of alien's to take over our beautiful planet isn't an original concept. The total annihilation of the human race asserts an expectation both implausible and infuriatingly frightening--how can one's

The alien explains that people are guilty of committing the same actions as the ones wrestling away the human's grasp of our world. Throughout history, people with power attain land through their might, uncaring of the rightful inhabitants.
His alien sensibility hasn't an ounce of empathy concerning the fate of humans, and even though it's a drop of water in a universe of oceans, I'm happy that Tom killed him.

Greed in aliens and humans surface abundantly, and the number one rule of the universe--if you're in possession of a substantial commodity, then quite possibly someone bigger and stronger will eventually attain it for themselves

I experienced two problems with Trust--one is the sexual content, which in this age of sex tortured to the point of wanting its mommy, implies that innumerous readers will consider it quite

    Aliens coming to earth is a topic constantly being used for books and movies, from the full out war for survival in Independence Day, to the cute aliens who didn’t mean any harm in Home. “Forget about flying saucers and little green men and giant mechanical spiders spitting out death rays. Forget about epic battles with tanks and fighter jets and the final victory of us scrappy, unbroken, intrepid humans over the bug-eyed swarm. That’s about as far from the truth as their dying planet was from our living one. The truth is, once they found us, we were toast. (page 2)” Rick Yancey uses this statement in his novel The 5th wave to create an original approach on an alien invasion.…

    First and foremost, the irony of this whole topic is almost too much to bear. In an effort to get me to fall into a superficial norm of laziness, others have put so much analyzing of “symbolism” and scrupulous thought into this topic. “Why on Earth do you run so much?” It seems that everyone has concluded one thing: running must be some representation, must carry some implications, or must have some definition of me that’s completely unfathomable.…

    David Walker’s Appeal is a landmark work of American history which was written by an African American slave during the nineteenth century. David Walker’s Appeal arguably the most radical of all anti- slavery documents, caused a great stir when it was published in September of 1829 calling for slaves to revolt against their masters. The piece of work exposed white racism and gave inspiration to abolitionists in hopes that one day change would come. David Walker’s Appeal which consisted of four articles explored many factors which he believed contributed to the “wretchedness” of the blacks including slavery, religion, ignorance, and the colonizing plan.…

    The idea of human nature has changed over time in many aspects, but throughout history and literature, self-interest has stayed as a foremost motivation in human actions, thoughts, and mannerisms. Needs to gain more power, more land, or more substance has caused people of all times and cultures to use forms of acquisition to quell these thirsts. Even at different times in history, this idea of selfish satisfaction proves true. As evidenced through literature in different time periods, authors show self-motivation through their characters.…

    The assumption that extraterrestrial intelligence would be similar to present day humans cannot be made with current knowledge. Aliens would have developed under different environments, they would have their own unique cultures and they would be centuries ahead of humanity with much more advance technology that would have its own unknown impact on their culture. If they have survived long enough to develop the advanced technology needed to travel between the stars, then the negative tendencies of their past would have vanished since the technology would instead be used for destroying each other had they not rid themselves of those tendencies already. Caldwell’s view that humanity’s negative qualities could be the cause of their own extinction…

    These photos are the view from the Portland Observatory, in modern day. If you were standing at the top of the observatory in 1807, when Lemeul Moody built it, the view would be a little different. The land would not have had houses, there wouldn’t be trees or bushes, no roads, you might see the neighbors cow or a few horses. The land in front of the observatory was used to graze farm animals. The community of Portland would bring their animals there in the morning then pick them up at night, almost like an animal daycare.…

    Above all else, most humans are obsessed with possession. In biblical tradition, a famished Esau demanded a bowl of soup from his scheming brother Isaac. Seeing an opportunity for wealth, Isaac demanded that Esau trade his birthright in return for the soup; desperately, Esau consented. While this story seems hyperbolic when expressed in plain terms, Jacob’s thought process reflects that of most humans. Rather than show selfless love, his greedy, self-advancing nature compells him to unfairly extort a precious possession from his own biological brother. This patterns recurs throughout history—many wars are fought for material conquest. The Cold War, for example, was a decades-long period of tension between the expansionist material and ideological…

    Parents need to know that this big-screen adaptation of Megan McDonald's popular kids' books follows elementary schooler Judy Moody as she experiences a summer of fun that's fine for younger audiences, especially those familiar with the stories. The humor does veer toward the potty variety -- expect a couple of scatological words like "crap" and the sight of Judy covered in blue vomit and a toad peeing on her friend -- but otherwise there's not much that parents are likely to find objectionable. And Judy learns a valuable lesson: that having a meaningful summer isn't about ticking off "thrilling" activities on a chart but rather enjoying your family and each day's adventures.The Judy Moody books are always a delight to share with early readers, but the movie doesn't capture the joy of Judy. Rather than coming across as a young spitfire with a fantastic imagination, Judy seems more jealous and whiny. And even though Beatty is a charming young actress, the spark that makes Judy an early-elementary favorite doesn't translate to the big screen. There's just not much to the plot (who doesn't want to have a good summer?), and the lack of dramatic tension (the only thing getting in Judy's way is herself) makes this less exciting than you'd expect.…
