    This story makes me think about how believing in yourself and working hard can basically help you achieve any goals you have in mind. Jake Cullen had stopped believing in himself for a brief period of time in the beginning of the book. He thought he had no chance of becoming the first string quarterback for Granger High. He kept getting down on himself for worthless thing like overthrowing a ball to Calvin, there #1 receiver, in one of Jake’s first practices. He continued to get down on himself until Coach Jessup, the offensive coordinator, helped him by having one-on-one sessions with Jake after practices. Coach Jessup would help him with his throws and tell him valuable things like “Be Jake Cullen, not Wyatt Cullen,” and “The #1 thing you need to remember is, as long as you believe in yourself, you can do anything.” After about a week or two into these practices with his coach, Jake had already changed, not only with his throws, but with his…

A culture of violence refers to a society that accepts violence as a normal occurrence, commits violent acts for pointless or illogical reasons, or is numb to its catastrophic effects. Neal Gabler’s article “Killings on Campus” depicts a culture of violence when he reveals, “With the internet to connect them, teenagers are no longer silent sufferers. They can martial their sufferings in cyberspace to realize it in real space” (88). Gabler refers to teenagers as “silent sufferers” to show that there are many people who experience a desire for violence. In order to channel this sick craving, they resort to the Internet, where others make…

    An example of the theme of ‘inhuman cruelty and on page 65 it says “ Behind me, I heard the same man asking: “For God’s sake, where is God?” And from within me, I heard a voice answer: “Where He is? This is where--hanging here from this gallows…” That night, the soup tasted of corpses.” I included these quotes from the book to show that people were being hanged left and right and none of the prisoners had payed no mind to them every hanging was indifferent to them. Until the young pipel was hanged, this made the prisoners asks questions as to where God was during these times of cruelty, when they needed him the most. It also made them seek answers as to the boy dying slowly from being hung, as a prisoner says “ This is where-hanging here from this gallows. . .” showing that the prisoner believed that God was in front of him suffering.…

    Espada writes that; “Violence is terribly seductive; all of us, especially males, are trained to gaze upon violence until it becomes beautiful” (Espada 41-42). Something beautiful is something that is aesthetically pleasing, violence something very different from what is usually considered beautiful. Violence is ugly and gory and it is pain and suffering, all things that are not aesthetically pleasing. However Espada explains how men “are trained to gaze upon violence until it becomes beautiful,” meaning that men will look at violence until it is aesthetically pleasing to them, until when they look at violence that are pleased. This is a very scary idea, the idea that something so ugly and horrible can begin to appear pleasing to people is worthy of fear. Espada continues, “Beautiful violence is not only the way to victory for armies and football teams; this becomes the solution to everyday problems as well. For many characters on the movie or television screen, problems are solved by shooting them” (42). Hurting people, acting on this violent tendency is easy, it is so much harder to be kind. So much of our society is built around violence, Espada notes “armies and football teams,” two examples of organized activities centred around violence, both essentially…

    "Being tired is the worst. When your limbs feel like stone, and you can’t think straight because you’re so drained.
