I am writing about Undertow by Michael Buckley. When you first look at the title‚ you’d think that the book would be about lifeguards or something to do with undertows.

Lyric Walker is the only child of a hard

Book Review on The Jungle As in any classic novel‚ there are several themes that contribute to the betterment of the story. However‚ the most prominent seems to be that capitalism is the root of the evils in the world‚ and socialism is the only cure.
