They embrace the idea of ‘normal.’ Going as far back as the ancient times‚ keeping a general law of behavior was and still is extremely important for humans to coexist successfully.

Entry #19 – As I Lay Dying: This book switches from narrator to narrator and does not have a truly set main character.

From what I have learned from other students‚ Alternative Breaks can be a starting place before volunteering for the Peace Corps
