The book “Little brother” by Cory Doctrow is the story and realization of the vulnerabilities all of us in modern society have. we’re all connected through our computers, tablets to phones. we store valuable information yet we don’t protect that information, we’re subjected to allowing corporations and governments in on our personal electronic lives, from that this book was written to evaluate.
I can identify with the author on his fear of being constantly surveiled, he writes of extreme but plausible examples of the dangers of metadata and digitized tools we carry around with us all the time. the character Jose Luis is a character that really reflects me, he is caring and wants to help people, he does what he can to solve problems and isn’t

    A Child Called It By David Pelzer

    A Child Called “It” by David Pelzer is his own autobiography of his life as a child being abused by his alcoholic mother, Catherine Roerva Pelzer, who isolates him from the family, then abuses him, and nearly killed him through starvation, poisoning, and once stabbing him. Since Mother starved him for days, he began to steal food in order to survive, and when she finds out he has stolen food, she abuses him with her own “games”.

His father, Stephen Joseph Pelzer, a fireman in San Francisco, is a frightened man who as watches Dave is beaten, starved, and humiliated. Mother has stopped calling him by name; instead she would refer him as “the boy” to “it”. He was starved for 10 consecutive days, stabbed, forced to eat his brother’s diaper and a spoonful of ammonia, burned over a gas stove, stayed in the bathroom with ammonia resulting in a near fatal outcome, smashed his face into the mirror while screaming "I'm a bad boy", lying in the bathtub naked with freezing water for hours.…

    Superman And Me By Sherman Alexie

    It's important to recognize yourself as a writer before beginning to project yourself to an audience. As evident by the papers read recently in class and every English 101 course you hear about, the literacy narrative serves as any writer's introductory assignment, and it is rightfully so. The project is to analyze how literacy has been shaped by exploring reading, writing, and spelling struggles or triumphs from your past. Famous authors may use this to help their audience get to know them, but college students striving to fulfill a core requirement can use it to help better themselves as writers. Whether it be an untraditional means of education, an outspoken minority, or a "door breaking" point of view the topic appeals to an audience as it delivers the promise of understanding the author and whatever other topical issues the narrative brings along with it.…

    Superman And Me By Sherman Alexie

    In the reading “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie, the author describes his own experience of how kids and himself were treated by society during his childhood for being part of a different background. In the reading I noticed how the author shows us ways that he has become the person he is by the influence of his family, particularly his dad who sparked his passion toward reading books. In my essay I implemented an additional family factor other than my father and sister; I included my brother. He impacted how I treat people that are constantly looked down by society. In addition, I have grown from my brother’s death and as an effect I have matured as a person and a writer.…

    Think Like A Child By Levitt And Dubner

Or perhaps wondering if everyone knows the answers except you? Have you ever been in a situation where you had new ideas to solve a problem but you don’t implement it because you think it looks silly or childish? As we grow older, we tend to abate certain behavior and build preconception that lead us to ignoring possible solutions simply because it sounds childish.…
