It was a pleasant surprise when I found myself enjoying the book‚ Bitches‚ Bimbos‚ and Ballbreakers. I thought that the content was presented in a relatable and non-aggressive way. They also kept the book humorous with their dry and well-placed sarcasm. What most surprised me was how little I knew about stereotypes‚ opposite of what I believed prior to reading the book.

Book Analysis East of Eden By Jon Steinbeck This unforgettable novel‚ East of Eden‚ was incredible for its time and without a doubt is Steinbeck’s most memorable and philosophically poetic classic.

When I first came to the Greater Washington Community‚ I felt shocked at what I had seen. Such a poor and harsh community only
