Half Lost Chapter Summary
Half Lost is the last book, in the Half Bad series. Half Lost is a novel about witches, who are divided into two congregates, Blacks, deemed deathly and ruthless, and Whites, considered pure and noble. They both live alongside Fains, humans, without their knowledge. Nathan was the only witch born, in history, who was half Black, and half White, because of this he was shunned, and loathed by all witches. The White Witch Council, which was run by Soul, and Jessica, Nathan’s half-sister, along with an army of elite fighters, termed hunters, planned to kill every single Black witch, plus anybody who displayed any compassion towards them. Both Black, and White witches have fled their homes to join the Alliance, and to stop Soul, and Jessica; striving to create a society where they could live in …show more content…
Throughout his childhood Nathan frequently contemplated why his father hadn’t attempted to see him. Although, regardless of this, when Nathan found out he had a son, Edge, he never went and visited him. This surprised me, because I would have expected him to at least attempt to, especially considering how he felt about his own father not making an effort to meet him. The reason Marcus avoided him, when he was young, was because Nathan was destined to kill him. Eventually, this did happen. However, it was only to stop Marcus’s suffering, as he was already dying. Where in Nathan’s case, he had every opportunity to meet Edge, and nothing stood in his way. He had justified it to himself, as he believed Edge wouldn’t be happy ever again, after he had seen Nathan. Though I personally believe Edge would have spent his entire life wondering why his dad never made any attempt to see him, and indeed ended up despising him because of it. This would be exactly like Nathan had, with his

    This particular class session started with Nicholas Kristoff’s Half the Sky documentary on FGM. It is difficult not to get too emotional in this course because the film showed how Ms. Edna Adan, an FGM victim herself, stood up against it and later on established an organization that works towards its elimination. Ms. Adan is a truly inspiring person. She worked at the United Nations (one of which was being the WHO representative of Djibouti) and used all her lifelong earnings and retirement benefits to build a hospital in her home country, the Somaliland. She narrated how she cashed up all her savings and available resources to start an office under a tree next to the present site of the building.…

    I would recommend training and regulations in using the system. I would also address the importance of accurate information reported. The system is used to compile reports that are required by the federal government under various grant programs; therefore, every single employee needs to remember that this is a non-profit organization and in order to operate successfully, we need the funding and resources available to accomplish our mission and goals. I would address and reinforce administrators that their major responsibility is to maintain and monitor the accuracy of data entries. Managers typically are interested in structuring an organizational architecture that will work well and does not depend on specific people filling particular jobs. Individuals come and go and the manager wants an organization that will work well as these changes occur (p. 34). With this being…

    n 1890, Jacob Riis published a groundbreaking booked titled “How the Other Half Lives.” Jacob Riis, a Danish immigrant, spent the majority of the 1880s collecting the information that would later go into his bestselling book. “How the Other Half Lives” provides a written and visual portrayal of the horrendous living conditions in many New York City slums. While the middle and upper classes lived considerably more comfortable lives, the people suffering through the horrid conditions in the aforementioned slums were often forgotten—their needs going unattended. “How the Other Half Lives” served as a form of muckraking—by exposing the conditions of New York City slums to the middle and upper classes, initiative was then taken to improve the health and living conditions for working class families. “How the Other Half Lives” serves as an explosive starting point for the reform of working and living conditions for the working class.…

    In the book, Half Bad, Nathan, a Half Code (good and bad witch) was looking at a picture of his mom, Cora, who was a White Witch (good witch), in memory of her because she committed suicide. His sister, Jessica, came and took the picture frame out of his hands and sliced the edge of it across his cheek and said, “Don’t ever touch this again.” She was angry about her mom passing and she blamed it on Nathan because she died after his birth (Green, 30) . Nathan soon found out that the Council forced Cora to kill herself because she created Nathan with the most famous Black Witch (bad witch), Marcus (Green, 128). Furthermore, a story was told of a tribe years ago that had a special witch named Geeta. Not only would she heal the people of her tribe, but in other tribes as well. The tribe leader, Aster, did not want that so he ruled that no one from another tribe was to see Geeta without his permission and imprisoned her. Soon after, she escaped with the help of one of her patients, Callor. They ended up falling in love and had twin girls, Dawn and Eve. Years later, Aster became ill and requested Geeta to come back and heal him. Geeta sent Eve, the hateful twin, in place of her to cure him. However, instead of healing him, Eve placed a curse on Aster and left. He died a month after. Ash, Aster’s son, was driven on anger and took revenge on the family by killing Callor and capturing Geeta and…

    In How the Other Half Lives, Riis startles readers with the following statement “Long ago it was said that ‘one half of the world does not know how the other half lives.’ That was true then. It did not know because it did not care. The half that was on top cared little for the struggles, and less for the fate of those who were underneath, so long as it was able to hold them there and keep its own seat”(Riis, 5). This book definitely changes history in a material way affecting the lives of millions of people, Jacob Riis exact purpose for writing it. This introduction is merely a tidbit of information that immigrants in New York City had to face through the working and living conditions at the turn of the century. As New York City grew in population, immigrants came mostly from Germany and Ireland and later from Eastern Europe and Italy. Most families were receiving little income which narrowed their choices of living. These dark, cramped, unsanitary homes that nearly 500,000 immigrants were living in were called tenements. They were pieces of old buildings and some new all brought together and built up to a great…
