this book is the character development. This book is based on the character Gunnar Kaufman’s life‚ so of course character development is needed since everyone changes drastically from elementary school to adulthood. Beatty‚ though‚ almost turns that development into an art form. Every event that happens to Gunnar adds to his personality in the book and affects his actions for the rest of the story. Now the development of Gunnar is great but what was the development of his childhood friend Scoby. "I’d

the near death of Antsy’s father from a heart attack and the “prospective” death of Gunnar the reader highlights the different reaction of each case. 2. Antsy is my favorite character as he seems very mature for his age and is a loyal friend. He is very connected to his family and tried to do something important for a person he thought was dying. 3. The main conflict in the story is that Antsy’s friend Gunnar has a terminal illness and is expected to die within 6 months and Antsy does not know

The Holocaust of Lars Andemening and Cynthia Ozick There is a glorious ambiguity to Cynthia Ozick’s The Messiah of Stockholm‚ one that naturally encourages a variety of interpretations and understandings. It’s a text that at once is about religion‚ literature‚ the Holocaust‚ identity‚ and more – something worthy of a comprehensive overhaul and a critical eye. Cynthia Ozick uses Lars’ psychological shifts and precarious mental state to speak to a variety of elements; but she does this in a way that

Socialists have agreed that there is definitely a group of people at the bottom‚ but do not agree with why they are there. There

Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka For much of the ninety years preceding the Brown case‚ race relations in the U.S. had been dominated by racial segregation. This policy had been endorsed in 1896 by the United States Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson‚ which held that as long as the separate facilities for the separate races were "equal‚" segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment ("no State shall... deny to any person... the equal protection of the laws.")
