Peter Keating Chapter 7 Summary
In chapter seven, Peter Keating is humbled by his own mistakes and misfortune. Working diligently in an empty office, Keating realizes he is in a mid-life crisis. Painting in the woods is one of the ways Peter relieves the stress from work. The man who once had his dream job needed his mother to save him from despair. When Toohey hired a new man for his firm, it was evident Keating was old news. The exciting new building opportunity called the Cortlandt Homes had the potential to save Keating’s architecture career.

    A Walk Across America Summary

    In this chapter we get introduced to Peter Jenkins and get know what he is doing. It takes place sometime during Peter’s journey. Tommy, Doc, and several other men in a country store in a giant blizzard first confront Peter. Tommy and the doc ask him what the devil he is doing hiking across America and Peter tells them that he is doing it to get to know the country. Tommy offers Peter to come to his house for some food, but Peter rejects. Peter calls for his dog Cooper. A thin farmer gives Peter five dollars in case he needed it. Peter and Cooper then leave the store and go into the giant blizzard. Peter then tells us how Cooper saved him one time before the walk. Peter and Cooper were hiking along an eleven-mile alternate training route when Cooper killed a snake that would probably have bitten Peter. We then get introduced to some of Peter’s background. This so-called “Walk Across America” was something that was brewing in Peter’s mind for a long time. Peter tells us that he grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut. This is a town of about 60,000 with manicured homes and country clubs. It’s high level of income and social status made Peter think that he had to attend Yale or Harvard. In Greenwich, you were considered a greaser if you drove a Corvette or had a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Most people drove Country Squire Wagons or BMW’s. Peter’s problem, according to him, was that he thought that all towns in America were like Greenwich. Peter tells us that he suffers from hollowness deep inside him that does not go away. It comes back after beer, booze, or drugs wear off from a party. It didn’t go away after he skied in a chalet in Stowe, Vermont. A revival of Woodstock, which took place during the summer of his senior year in high school didn’t bring any relief either. College and being by himself made the hollowness intensify. Peter himself began to wonder what he…

    Summary Of Michael Patrick Macdonald's All Souls

    Michael Patrick MacDonald’s book was fantastic. All Souls was a moving, exciting, and revealing book about the life of an average South Boston family growing up in the white, Irish Catholic Old Colony housing projects. There is a huge focus on the crimes, drugs, and violence that occurred within MacDonald’s neighborhood around the time of the Boston busing riots. MacDonald tells us about his brothers and sisters. Many of whom were victimized by crime, drugs, murder, and suicide. He also goes into detail about his strong willed mother who somehow found a way to raise ten kids, while at the same time dealing with abusive relationships, and living in the neighborhood with the highest concentration of white poverty in America. All Souls has a large…

    Sean O Keeefe Chapter Summary

    Through out this book Sean and Charlotte O’Keefe provided advocacy for Willow in several ways. The most obvious way Charlotte provided advocacy for Willow was by suing Piper not because if she would have known sooner she may have changed her mind about Willow, but because she wanted the money for Willows sake. Charlotte wanted the money for Willow so she would not have to worry about anything especially medical expenses in her life. Before the lawsuit when they were in Disney Sean was outraged when the family was separated due to Willow slipping on a napkin in the Disney Park. Though the hospital, policemen and family services were just doing their job, Sean could not forgive and forget. This is started the uprising of the lawsuit. He wanted…

    William Clark Chapter 3 Summary

    Jones’ William Clark… chapter 3 starts with George Rogers Clark (GRC) declining Jefferson’s offer to lead a military excursion westward, suggesting that a few men could sufficiently do the job. Jones then writes of the Clark family’s belated travels across the Appalachians and down the dangerous Monongahela and Ohio rivers before landing outside Louisville and building a farm. He then writes about more problems with Indians, prompting GRC to lead an unsuccessful military campaign after a forced peace treaty was disregarded by non-invested tribes. William Clark is also written about: his joining of and exploits in the Kentucky militia, his journalizing of these exploits and the areas they took him, his self-taught education and naturalistic writings, and his commissioning as a lieutenant in the newly reformed, post-St. Clair’s Defeat US Army. Clark’s early duties as a lieutenant, Jones writes, involved ferrying soldiers and supplies around western outposts and forts, and even to the Chickasaw Indian tribe once. Within a few years, Clark became quartermaster of one of the four Sub-Legions of the US Army, joining the campaign into northern Indian lands that culminated in the Battle of Fallen Timbers, the final and deciding battle in the Northwest Indian War. Jones then recounts General Anthony Wayne’s successful…

    Analysis Of Seamus Heaney's Mid-Term Break

    I have selected Seamus Heaney's “Mid-term Break” and Dylan Thomas's “Do not go gentle into that good night” for this analysis. Though both of these poems speak about death and morality, they do so in very different ways. The manner of speak differs in these poems as well as their rhythm, meter, and structure. The way each poem is written creates a unique tone and helps to establish the speaker's mood and emotions. While the tone establishes the mood, each poem's rhythm and meter helps to emphasize its tone. Though both poems differ in their delivery, the message of each poem is clear and distinct.…
