Journal #6 – 23 Skidoo We’ve recently watched the movie 23 Skidoo both in class and on our own time at home. When I first saw it in class‚ I was a bit confused and I didn’t really understand what was happening in the film.

I find that it makes you concentrate more on what’s happening in the film because no one’s

Invisible Man Journal Entry #1 To me‚ the most interesting part of this novel so far is the interaction with Jim Trueblood and the story that he tells. The different reactions that Jim gets from white people and black people is especially interesting because the whites‚ upon hearing about what Jim did with his daughter‚ describe the act as something disgusting but to be expected of or typical of black people and yet they offer Jim support while the black community shuns him. I find it hard to

The feud that Huck stumbled upon raised the bar in intensity. The book has succeeded in keeping the attention of readers and keep them reading‚ even for teenagers! The only complaint to be had with the book is that the dialogue of the slaves is rather difficult to read‚ though it does show the book is keeping with the time period very well. I am glad that Mark Twain implemented this‚ however

I am always guessing what Holden is really feeling or thinking. Holden’s outlook and perspective on life are displayed on each page and I can hardly ever put the book down. There are many aspects of this book that I truly enjoy. The complex
