The Last Nazi: Calculus The Easy Way
When we went to the library to find a book for English class, the first book I checked out was entitled The Last Nazi. It was a book about the last known nazi that lived through the holocaust. It was interesting at first but then it was really hard for me to continue to read, because not only was it a historical non-fiction, it also included a large variety of words above my reading level. The second book I chose was, Calculus The Easy Way, one of the reasons I chose that book was because I thought it was going to help me in math, but It was not a good choice for my essay. The third book I chose was from the library, out of all those books I couldn’t find a good one. When I was ready to leave, a book on the checkout counter caught my eyes. The book title is Need. It's about teens living in Nottawa, Wisconsin who join the newest, hottest, networking site. It's a site that allows people to request anything that they NEED. However, access to this site is only by invitation only. Anything at all can be asked and your request will be fulfilled only if you accomplish a certain task that will be assigned by the site itself. It's a fast paced book, it takes social media stalking and bullying to a whole new level.

In the book Need Kaylee is a optimistic, strong, which is some somthing I look up to. She has a brother that needs a kidney transplant, and she tried to get everyone she knows to test to see if they are a match for her brother. That's when people at Kaylee’s school started to step away from her. The reason that I like her is because She was the only one that put in a rather selfless request as a need and quite honestly, she's the only one that deserved to see her need fulfilled. All the other needs were all not necessary, it's what they

    I have recently finished the book "Fever 1789" by Laurie Halse Anderson. It was filled with a roller coaster of emotion leaving the reader on the edge before every chapter. The description in the book fills my mind of how it was back in the 1700's. This book demostrats a good understanding of the environment and tone in the book. At the end of the book it shows real life sections of how Anderson used history into a fictional story. The other book i'm reading is "Night" by Ellie Wiesel. It shows a similiar dark approach to the book's setting. The book is based off Ellie's life in a concentration camp during the Nazi regime. Ellie was only just a young boy and he had to endure painful suffering. Watching the people die around you and seeing your…

    When I was looking for a book to read, this was one of the last ones on my list. I wanted to read about World War II – a war that seemed more interesting. However, this book and I crossed paths when all the books I wanted to read were out of stock at the bookstore. I thought I’d take a chance, and I’m glad I did. I fell into a book-induced stupor when I began reading it. After awhile I realized an hour and half had gone by and I was halfway through the book. I was engrossed by the…

    “Over 25 percent of adolescents and teens have been bullied repeatedly through their cell phones or the Internet” (Stop Cyber Bullying). As this statistic demonstrates, cyber-bullying is an increasingly prevalent problem in our society. While cyber-bullying is a fairly recent threat that teenagers encounter, bullies have preyed on weak victims since the beginning of time. In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, there are many strong characters who prey upon weak characters, including Crooks preying upon Lennie, Curley’s Wife preying upon Crooks, and Curley preying upon Lennie. Unfortunately, bullies look for victims who are weak, either socially or mentally. Due to their social and mental disabilities, the victims are ignored by…

    One of the things that I had to do in the Hitler Youth was burn books. I did not even want to burn the books, but I had to if I didn’t want to blow my cover. The book burning was unnecessary. Why do you need to burn something that has nothing to do with you? They burnt those books because they didn’t say what the Nazi’s wanted them to say. The best books in the world burnt because the Nazi’s don’t want people to think differently. The whole thing angered me. I was fuming inside, but I could not let them see that.…

    In the stories, there were both positive and negative aspects and characteristics that the two protagonists possessed. Both women were thought insane and although they may not have been originally, being locked up made other characters question their sanity. In, "Girl, Interrupted," Kaysen's character was a passive yet promiscuous eighteen year old woman. Ten minutes into her visit with an analyst, Kaysen is being told she's tired and that she needs a rest. The therapist makes a couple of phone calls, puts Kaysen in a cab and sends her off to the psychiatric ward at McLean Hospital. In the cab, she doesn't put up a fight or try and escape and once she arrives at the hospital, she signs herself in because she is of age. Even before then, while she was still in the therapists' office she showed no sign of struggling against the force that was her doctor. Instead she willingly accepted the fact that she was tired and to go then rather than on Friday to the hospital. This passiveness is a dominant characteristic of Kaysen throughout the rest of the story. But I view the trait as both a positive and a negative one. It seems like it would be a positive because Kaysen allowed herself to enjoy her time in the hospital. She made an effort to make the best of the situation. However, it's also a negative trait to possess for the simple fact that had she fought or argued with the doctor or the cab driver, she would never had to go near McLean. During her taxi ride to the hospital she said, "I let…
