Mike Enslin Book Report
Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is a successful author who enjoys worldwide acclaim for debunking supernatural phenomena before he checks into the Dolphin Hotel, that is. Ignoring the warnings of the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson), he learns the meaning of real terror when he spends the night in an extremely haunted room. He survives the hour within the room, but realizes the evil force within the room will just keep repeating the hour of hauntings until he "checks out" (kills himself). Mike decides to send the room down with him, so he sets it ablaze. Firefighters come and pull him out of the burning room and Mike is reunited with his ex wife Lily (Mary McCormack).

    Neil Shubin Chapter Summary

    We are all sharks underneath the skin, to put it more precisely we are all modified sharks, said fossil expert Neil Shubin. As Shubin makes it clear, evolution does not proceed in mighty anatomical jumps but to the process of gradual changes, transforming a gene, cell, or bone for a new purpose. In this way new species are eventually created. Albeit, a new species that still carries traces of it's evolutionary predecessors, an inner connection between fish and humans. You can see these biological stigmata today, says Shubin. Our hands resemble fossil fins, our heads are organized like those of long extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genomes still function like those of worms and bacteria. Hypothetically we are all "shark siblings".…

    Geoffrey Canada Book Analysis

    This memoir from Geoffrey Canada is now a graphic novel which was adapted by Jamar Nicholas. It begins by explaining Geoff’s first experience with violence, when his brother’s jacket was stolen in the park. His mother forced the oldest brother to go back out and take it back, that he would get a worse beating at home if he did not get it back. This was Geoff’s first exposure, at four years old he learned that he should not be made a victim. The text continues on showing different moments from Geoff’s live, where over and over he was taught that you do not back down from a fight, even if it was a fight you were not going to win. The book shows an escalation as Geoff grows up, which is mirrored in the title, fist, stick, knife, gun, which can probably help you guess where the text goes. This book shows a lot of tension between Geoff and his culture. He has to do what he has to do to survive, but hearing it from his perspective, you can tell that he does not understand why life has to be that way.…

    19 Minutes Book Report

    I read the book Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. The story begins in a small town in Sterling, New Hampshire. At the high school, you read about a routine day of students in classes. As a student runs out of class to leave for an orthodontist appointment a loud bang goes off in the parking lot, which turns out to be a bomb set off in Matt's car. The students are confused by the noise and gun shots are fired. Patrick, the only detective on the Sterling police force (which is just stupid to have only one), hears on his radio about the shooting at Sterling High School. Patrick sees several students on the floor, surrounded in blood. The boy is dead and has a gunshot in his head while his girlfriend, Josie wakes up and cant…

    The title of this book relates to the story, because in the book, Ponyboy and Johnny are "outsiders." They can be thought of as Outsiders because they are labeled Greasers although they do not act like hoodlums, like the rest of the Greasers. They are thought of as Greasers just because they live on the East Side of town, and because they slick back their hair. But Ponyboy and Johnny are different then all of the other Greasers because they show their emotions, and are sensitive.…

    1984 Book Report

    1984 is about a parallel world 35 years into the future, in which all nations have been combined into three major countries: Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia. London still exists, but it is now a part of Oceania, governed by an entity called the Party, headed by a dominant figure called "Big Brother". The Party's one goal is power; power over everybody and everything in Oceania. There is constant surveillance; devices called telescreens are put in people's homes to monitor thoughts, actions and broadcast Party propaganda continuously, with no way for the person to turn it off or change the channel. Free thinkers are not tolerated, and the "Thought Police" are sent to capture the culprits.
