The story is about a young boy that runs away from his new home and the few new friends he meets along the way. Some of the characteristics about Magee are that he is sad a lot

What Sara Gruen may have intended to show in “Water

The differences between William Golding’s allegorical novel Lord of the Flies and its film adaptation are evident. Firstly‚ when marooned on the island in the book‚ the boys are completely isolated from any adults. This comes in complete contrast to the movie where one of the pilots‚ though injured and mostly unconscious‚ survives the crash and is stranded along with the boys. An adult would remind the children of their home in England and of society’s laws and norms; the animalistic and instinctive

My report is on the book Toxic Parents by Dr. Susan Forward. I found this book very intrusting and scary in the same breath. I could not understand some of the hurt and pain parents inflict on their children. I do come from a home that was destroyed by divorce‚ alcohol and drug use. I can relate to some of the stories and it brought up my own struggles and made me question my own parents. I dont know what normal parents are but this book made it clear what is not healthy for children and even adults
