Comp II 02/22/2013 Summation of Chapters Three and Four In chapters three and four I found the examples to be very interesting. Not only did they show a way of incorporating the lesson they also showed us wording‚ punctuation‚ format‚ and on top of that‚ they were very interesting clips from what I am sure would be great complete essays. The fact that statistics are not always reliable is something I knew but I was glad that it was reiterated in the book. Something I did not realize was that

Encountering God Chapter One: In the first chapter of “Encountering God” the author Diana Eck starts by explaining that the book is her experiences in encountering different religions. “All of us have rivers deep within us‚ bearing the waters of joining streams.” I loved this starting quote it feels like she is open to any view. She knows that different beliefs are a good thing‚ and that we all have to experience different people because we need to be mixed together for us to grow and form our own

Alfred W. Crosby’s book Ecological Imperialism explores the beginning of European control in Australia‚ New Zealand‚ North America‚ and South America. The Prologue of Crosby’s book questions the domination of these Neo-Europes. Was the European success due to their organization and technology? Perhaps simple biological factors are responsible. The idea of one land mass‚ or Pangaea‚ is depicted in Crosby’s first chapter. When the mass began to split and divide into individual continents the

Lily Bart‚ so far‚ has become an increasingly relatable character for females in the 21st century. While the book is set in the early 1900’s the idea that being single and on her own late in her age is a problem that I feel many females can relate to these days. I found it surprising that the book would be about a woman around 29 years old and still unmarried at the time‚ but it also shows that maybe it wasn’t as unheard of as our grandmothers make it out to be. Lily is clearly distressed by the

Chapter 9 summary In this chapter it tells a story about slavery before and after the Civil War. It explains the United States provision of slavery and how some people were misled on who ended slavery‚ how it was Abraham Lincoln and not John brown who was hung later in 1859 for his crimes. It later goes into graphic detail of how slaves were kept into slavery by whipping and separating families. It sort of reminds of the movie 12 years a slave I would recommend it. It’s sad but true story of

Hunter Porterfield Sociology Chapter 1 summary Sociology is the study of the society and the way people interact within it. The field of sociology and trying to study and understand it is very complicating due to the fact that it is such a wide topic. Feelings change along people and nobody can truly explain why people do the things they do. A student attempting suicide out of nowhere is unexplainable or even a random divorce. The unexplainable minds of people and random occurrences really interests
