    In the book Maniac Magee, Jerry Spinelli develops Grayson to be caring character, especially to Maniac One way that the author developed this trait is by having Grayson say, “Never mind.

Amanda was on her way to school and she was carrying her suitcase that was full of books she called it her “library”.…

    By demonstrating the romantic nativity of the West’s outlook on Indigenous people, Emma Lee Warrior’s short story Compatriots dismantles the dominant view on Indigenous people, illustrating the ignorance of the West’s stereotypes. The romanization of the Indigenous culture results in generalisation of Indigenous culture, contrasting feelings between the west and the Indigenous, as well as patronising ideals. To begin, Lee Warrior breaks out of stereotypical archetypes of Indigenous people created from the westerners’ perspective. For instance, addressing the diversity within the Indigenous groups. As Hilda boldly assumes, Lucy has done sun-dances before, because it’s her culture.…

    The Austin Community located on the Westside of Chicago is plagued by a series of problems involving African American youth between the ages of 7-17. One of the problems is that many of these youth participate in gang affiliation, drug use, crime, unhealthy eating habits and sexual habits, gang and domestic violence, abuse, bullying, teen pregnancy and the list goes on. Another major reason why the Austin area is plagued by some many social concerns is due to poverty. This harsh reality is also stated in the Chicago data mapping which states, “35.6% of Austin residents live below the poverty level” (). Being that my internship site BUILD is located in the Austin Community and that I intern and work with the youth at Leland Elementary in this community all of the youth participants I work with are currently affected or associated with these issues in some way.…

    In The Embers and the Stars by Kohák the intersection of time and eternity is expressed. Kohák has focused on "natural" time, which is to say that time is not just what is expressed by a clock, or with a series of numbers on a clock. "It is, rather, set within the matrix of nature's rhythm which establishes personal yet non-arbitrary reference points." This means that time is not measured in seconds, minutes, or hours but by personal existence and experience. These "reference points" are experiences in your life that are meaningful and you help spatially distinguish points in time. Time as we know it is explained by Kohák as a "construct imposed upon nature's rhythm, subordination and ordering it". He does say that it is a useful construct, but as for the theory of relativity time does not hold up.…
