People tend to have this fear‚ discomfort‚ and at times even hatred towards the darkness of death. We have always portrayed death as a grim reaper‚ with the long black cape covering his bony‚ thin‚ skeleton body‚ holding a scythe on his right scraggy hand. In today’s society‚ and even in history‚ people have never given death a positive reputation unless it has to do with evil intentions. For the first time in literature‚ death is given a voice‚ a chance for us to hear what he has to say about humans

At the end‚ one will be a murderer and the other the heroic saint. Let’s say that the soldier did fire the drone and bombed the kids. Thousands

Review of The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It seems sometimes like the market for young adult literature is written down to the readers‚ almost in a condescending manner. That is why a book like The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is so refreshing in this sea of cookie cutter romances and fantasies.

As I walked down the third grade hallway of my elementary school‚ I caught a glimpse of myself in the door’s window. I took a double take‚ as I initially did not recognize that person. I stared at this stranger for what felt like hours. A small lift of my shirt revealed the severity of my condition; with every breath‚ I watched my ribs push through my pale skin. My hair had begun to form a shaggy halo‚ marking where my once waist-length hair had broken off from malnutrition. 20 pounds lighter than
