    Summary Of Brother Dear By Bernice Friesen

    The story Brother Dear by Bernice Friesen encapsulates the life of a girl named Sharlene, who enjoys teasing her older brother and has a sense of freedom, but she has problems with her family. The story takes place in Greenbank, which is somewhere in Alberta, because “We were at a protest in Edmonton.” By Greg, which tells us that they are in a relatively close place to Edmonton, Alberta, another context clue that backs up the previous claim is when Sharlene says, “It’s April and next year’s grade twelve, then it’s escape to the University of Alberta.” This further proves that Greenbank is in Alberta, though it may not be a real place and is made up by the author. The story is about family conflict: her brother, Greg, who has an inferiority…

    In the 1940s the United States was getting ready to get involved in World War II and needed to set an example of good ethics on a global stage to help bring. The book The Boys of Pointe Du Hoc written by, Douglas Brinkley has many examples of ethical decision making that was critical at the time in order for the United States to bring peace to World War II.

    The Boy Who Owned The School By Gary Paulsen

    I have mixed feelings about the book, The Boy Who Owned the School by Gary Paulsen. Even though the book has a happy ending, the story is very dark. Jacob the protagonist thinks he is ugly, he is bullied at school, he tries to becomes the phantom student that roams from class to class, he has no friends, his parents are alcoholics and they pay no attention to him, and his sister hates him. If that were not enough, Jacob sleeps in a dark, dingy basement on a cot, while the rest of his family sleeps upstairs. His room is more like a dungeon than a bedroom. Although the book ends with Jacob and Maria going out and with his mother paying more attention to him, I expected Jacob to change and stop hiding from everyone, but the book does not give…

    Myth Of Adolescence By Alex And Brett Harris

    In the essay, Myth of Adolescence, Alex and Brett Harris incorporate their thoughts on what they feel about what teenagers actually go through during their period of `adolescence.` They go on to compare this phase to an elephant. They say that an elephant is a powerful beast that can be restrained even by a piece of twine. According to Alex and Brett, young teens are the elephant and our twine is the concept of adolescence. Unfortunately, these low expectations end up limiting teens for no reason. Teenagers, between the ages of 13-18, are held back by society and aren't able to excel in life. The essay, Myth of Adolescence, states that the socials expectations are becoming obstacles for teens. We as teenagers, need to erase the invisible shackles…

    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”. Dave reflects on the “good times” in his childhood, because Mother was once a wonderful, loving mom, but the drinking habit, illness, and Father being gone took over her life, leaving both emotional and physical scars on her child which will haunt him for life. His father, Stephen Joseph Pelzer, a fireman in San Francisco, is a frightened man who as watches Dave is beaten, starved, and humiliated.

    Clack Of Tiny Sparks: Remembrances Of A Gay Boyhood By Bernard Cooper

    Comparing and contrasting literature is an important way to show the similarities and differences between the two works. There are several types of literature one can compare and contrast; however, in this paper we will be discussing a form of literature known as essays. An essay is an exceptional way for an author to convey an opinion, emotion, or personal experience. In this paper we will look at two essays that demand comparison; American History written by Judith Ortiz Cofer (1993), and A Clack of Tiny Sparks: Remembrances of a Gay Boyhood written by Bernard Cooper (1991). The two works of literature seem so different on the outside, yet upon further analysis one can begin to notice many similarities making…

    Our Kids By Robert Putnam

    Throughout America’s communities today, the quality of schooling varies from school to school. In the book Our Kids the author, Robert Putnam, believes that the increased gap between the wealthy and poor is what causes the differences in school quality and opportunities for the students (Putnam, 2015). Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing two of today’s youth, Josh and Erin. Their names have been changed for the sake of anonymity. Josh is a 17-year-old student at Shawnee Mission East High School, in Prairie Village, Kansas.…

    Oryx And Crake Analysis

    Margaret Atwood’s novel Oryx and Crake follows the life of Jimmy/Snowman in a grim world of the not-so-distant future. The novel is a speculative look at the path Atwood believes our society is headed down. It features issues such as genetic engineering, global warming, food insecurity, and even child trafficking. A common element amongst these issues is that they are all dark and frightening topics. Despite this, Oryx and Crake still manages to have a multitude of hilarious moments. Some readers find these moments disruptive to the flow and seriousness of the novel, however other readers see the humour as complementary to the flow and tone; causing it to leave a deeper impact on the reader. The humour can be seen as complementary because it helps Jimmy deal with his situation, mirrors the differences between Jimmy and Crake,…
