    "In "The Lost Boy," the story describes the period in which the bewildered child, haunted by the fear of being returned to his mad and alcoholic mother, is passed between foster care homes. For six years, David Pelzer was sent to over ten different foster homes; sometimes returning to the same home twice. David's desperate attempts to be accepted by his peers led him into a life of petty crime, which, including cruel tricks his "friends" played on him, included stealing, and ending up going to "The Hill." This was a nickname for "Hillcrest," a juvenile detention ceter for boys who did wrong. After overcoming a trial to be free from his Mother, David (at the age of 12), begins his long journey from recovering from years of brainwash by his Mother; stealing from local grocery and toy stores, and periodically going into a stage of badness and being mean and cold to others. David's life story has touched so many hearts in the world, and he has gotten very far in his life. If he had ust laid back and been abused, stabbed, and tortured by his Mother, he may be dead right now. To David Pelzer; The Man Who Survived. (He was released from foster care at the age of 18, and joined the U.S Air Force as an air crew member.)"…

    I plan to do my essay on Cormac McCarthy's book, The Road and the subsequent adaptation of the same name, Directed by John Hillcoat and adapted to screen Joe Penhall . The book tells the struggle of a father and a his child traversing across post apocoliptic America in search of a safer place to stay. The books tone is very somber and grey, the film adaptation stays true to this feeling of opression and impending doom. The book also is very exoplicit in it's portrtayl of a post acopoliptic America, people doing what they need to survive and this involves cannibalism. The book won many awards and was commended for the unromantic way it put across a post apocalyptic world.…

This shows Amir that redemption is achievable and that it is necessary for healing and necessary if he wants to move on.…

Like the fictional characters in the story, most of these boys, whose ages were all below 18, had no parents due to being orphaned by the civil war.…

    Nawal El Saadawi’s novel Woman at Point Zero is a story set in Egypt in the 1970s, full of many different and yet similar characters. However, with all of the characters in this novel, the women are portrayed in a very specific way; they tend to be characterized as dependent, and less capable.

The environment and context of Woman at Point Zero had a profound effect on the women in this story, affecting their behavior; however, El Saadawi had her reasons for writing this way.…

    In her article “number one,” Nada Akel succeeds in dragging the population to her side and convincing them. Her article is effective because she presents her ideas in a well-organized and adequate way. She opens her article with a short anecdote about a couple who has struggled a lot before overcoming all the obstacles and making its dream come true. This example illustrates real concerns and problems faced by the Lebanese society especially the young rising generation. This relation adds credibility to the text by giving it a sense of reality and not only an abstract image which has nothing to do…
