The author of The Body of Christopher Creed, Carol Plum-Ucci showed that some people have to hide who they truly are to protect themselves or others. She proved that people shouldn't hide from their true self, because being someone else will only bring pain and regret in the end.

    The first chapter of this book written by Steve Olsen is telling us the history of human life in Africa. The author uses few hypothesis to describe the differences between Bushmen and anyone else. As the Bushmen were described as animals by the settlers who tried to push them away from their own territory because of their way of life. This has led to a breaking point in this first chapter. The Bushmen were not so much difference then anyone living today even though they lived away from everyone else. Nevertheless, the differences between the Bushmen and anyone else is their skin deep and the DNA sequence of their genes that lie at the base of the physical uniqueness.

    The Great Gatsby "Repeating the Past" Reoccurring Theme

    Life is a balancing act between the past, present, and future. Expressing guilt and regret about the past is almost instinctual, but we accept that it is unchangeable and we put it behind us. However, there are some, who so desperately cling to the idea of the past and believe that they have the power to repeat it. While an action can be repeated in order to emulate an action of the past, the entirety of the moment can never be recreated. This is due to the fact that unlike a physical action, the emotions and intent behind the action are impossible to duplicate.…

    "The Dead and the Gone"- By Susan Beth Pfeffer

    The genre of this book is fiction. There are a total of 321 pages in this book and I finished the whole book. I chose this book for third quarters outside reading book because the book cover had a really big moon and I wondered how it relate to its title- The Dead and the Gone. In addition, I was totally fascinated by the book after reading the summary of the book on the back cover. The story of The Dead and the Gone was set in New York City at the modern time. The main theme in this book is how a young man, Alex Morales, takes on unimaginable responsibilities for himself and his family. The author is trying to tell us that we have to be prepared for any unbelievable catastrophic events that might happen and everyone will have some sort of responsibility afterwards.…

    Eaters of the Dead by Michael

    In his novel, Eaters of the Dead, author Michael Crichton shows how the Volga Northmen were able to defeat their foes, the wendol, by using their intellect instead of their weapons. This is seen in four aspects. The theme of the novel is that physical courage is not enough to preserve your culture and lifestyle: intelligence and superior knowledge are absolutely essential. Conflict between the wendol and the Northmen shows which group has the intelligence to eliminate the other. Symbolism of wisdom, knowledge, and the lack of such things are used by Crichton to illustrate this moral. The juxtaposition of characters emphasizes the cleverness of the Volga Northmen compared to the Venden Northmen.…

    How The Character Is What You Are In The Dark By Dwight Moody

    The quote "Character is what you are in the dark" -Dwight Lyman Moody, is saying that we are out true selves when no one is around. The book "Dexter" is a perfect example for this because in the story Jeff Lindsay tells a story of a man who a serial killer when no one is looking but works at a police station to blend in. This quote is very true because everyone feels the pressure to be perfect and fit in so we hide how we really feel and act.…

    Lurking Guilt And Shame In Nathaniel Hawthorne's Black Veil

    Some people’s are larger and more prominent than others, but one wants to own up to their inner evils because that’s human nature. Everyone wants to be seen as an innocent person, not someone who has all this inner evil or sin hidden inside them. I believe that our current society has a lot of impact on that. No one has the courage to be their true selves anymore because they feel like they have too much pressure from society and social media to be a perfect, model being. Sadly, there are many people who try to be true to themselves and are bullied or looked down upon because of it , yet on the other side of the spectrum, there are people who hide the real them for so long that they get so caught up in it and can never act like who they truly are on the inside anymore. Yes, everyone has their own hidden secrets, but to be true to themselves and own up to it, they need to accept it in their own hearts and no longer hide behind their own black…

    Dark Knight of the Soul by Richard Miller Qsr 2

    Throughout Miller’s essay, he follows a similar format in the way he states his opinion about the connection between reading and writing to his readers. With every subheading, he tells a story of the influence of reading and writing on the protagonist of each story. Every subheading begins with the introduction of the protagonists through the final outcome of their actions. For example, the first story of the two boys, Harris and Klebold begins with the revelation of what they have done—murdering fifteen people with weapons they created on their own. This knowledge to create such weapons and to follow through with such an act is all blamed upon technology such as the television and the internet. Then Miller gives information about similar events of teenagers being responsible for killings throughout the US. And he goes on to unveil the boys’ characters and look into discussing why the protagonists did what they did, and end with a statement that Miller wants to make by presenting what the protagonists learn or achieve from their actions. Towards the later subheadings, Miller uses the same format, always ending with a statement or a realization: "We live in the Information Age and all the information is telling us that whatever we have done, whatever we are doing, and whatever we plan to do will never have any lasting significance.", "He believed he was alone. He believed he owed no one anything. He believed he was free." "Even if it's a lie, the lie Karr tells herself at the end of The Liar's Club is a lie that keeps her inside the realm of social relations, helping her make what she can of what life has put before her." and so on.…

    THE GRAVEYARD BOOK

    THE GRAVEYARD BOOK

    Neil Gaiman is a prolific author best known for his legendary Sandman series, as well as other award winning novels and I with no hesitation can say that The Graveyard Book (also award-winning) is up to par with those standards. What initially intrigued me to read this book was when I learned that it was Gaiman’s nod to the classic, and one of my favorites, children’s story The Jungle Book. Like Mowgli, the protagonist, Nobody “Bod” Owens is orphaned. However, in this novel, The Jungle Book’s pack of animals is replaced by the ghouls and ghosts of a graveyard. In line with many of Gaiman’s work the book falls under the genre of fantasy and horror but also blended together with supernatural characters from legends and mythology to create Bod’s gothic coming of age tale.…

    The Crucible Reputation Vs Reputation Analysis

    People tried to hide the truth just to keep a good name. People like John Proctor with Abigail tried to keep it a secret just to hold his name up. He kept denying it and denying it until finally it slipped out in a conversation with Elizabeth. Just like that I guess he called it reputation lowered. As soon as people know that he and Abigail had something going on where’s his reputation now. Coming back to my second sentence of the whole thing the truth will come out sooner or later and that could change your name and how people see you. Apply it to anything you want and it will hold true. Like with John proctor the truth came out and now do you think that everyone else is gonna think of him as the same person. How bout some recent events compared to the crucibles it’s happened relatively close to my time. The O.J. Simpson. He was an NFL star. Then one night and the following day changed his reputation for his whole life. I’m not saying that it was true that he killed his wife because we don’t have evidence of that but what we do know is that his role in NFL was gone for good. Plus I’m quite sure that everyone's pretty certain that he did in fact kill his wife. It’s become Like a religion now like you don’t know for certain but you just need that little bit of…
