    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…

    How would you feel if even paying money you, have to share your bed with someone else that you might not know or if you and your family have to share your home with some other families? well, that's some of the things that these people have to live every day. Living in small places without any ventilation, light, plumbing or a place where their children can play even sometimes exposed to get robbed, having a high risk of diseases and without fire escapes. In this photo taken by Jacob Riis for his book "How the other half lives" we can see how people that pay a cent to spend the night (the ones that can afford it because many of those people don't have the money to pay it) in those bedrooms with unsanitary conditions without any space to put…

    Ta-Nehisi Coates's Between The World And Me

    In the media, black people and black men in particular are villainized and portrayed as disturbed and violent individuals. Statistics of incarceration and crime rates are often cited in rhetoric debasing the black community. Yet in just a few pages, Ta-Nehisi Coates expertly dissects how America’s institutionalized racism and eagerness to turn a blind eye to social issues contributes to the hostile environment many black people occupy in his book Between the World and Me. In his book he talks about the difficulties of being raised in an impoverished and violent neighborhood and his realization that these conditions are remnants of America’s history - such as the over-policing of black Americans and police brutality, which breeds fear and feelings…

    The Island- by Armin Greder

    Armin Greder’s The Island is a picture book that explores the negative concepts of ‘belonging’ through instances of alienation and judgement. The text presents symbols and metaphors that can be applied to universal social issues, particularly the migrant experience. Although the tone of the text is ultimately pessimistic, there are suggestions of Christian ideals such as sharing, caring for the less fortunate and having a clear conscious. The text also not only discusses an outsider’s perspective of not belonging, but also the negative aspects of belonging to a group or community.…

    Life Is Beautiful By Elie Wiesel

    “You should never regret anything in life. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience” (Unknown, n.d.). This quote symbolizes how everything in life can be cherished and turned into an experience. The only way people learn is through experience, which makes life better and wonderful. In Elie Wiesel’s (2006) novel Night and the movie “Life is Beautiful” (2000), there are two completely different perspectives on life in the worst of times. Both the book and the movie show life during the Holocaust and how it has impacted father and son relationships. Each story shows how the fathers and sons are impacted through two different types of experiences spent in a concentration camp during the Holocaust. In the memoir Night and the…
