    Dominic A. Bianco's The Apparition Saga

    The book series 'The Apparition Saga' by Dominic A. Bianco is a teen's narrative about his life, punctuated by an event that leaves him a superhero; from this event the story dynamically changes from themes of coming of age to a fantasy, but the relationship between the two stories collide to create a trusted tale. It is a first person telling of a story that is unique to any story I have ever read. Both books are told from the main character of Angelo Drake's point of view. This provides for an interesting, reflective device in telling this story, because it allows the reader to experience the same, relatable feelings and emotions that the main character, which can be particularly helpful, especially when Angelo describes using his superpowers. The effort used to combine both the feelings of a regular teen and his superpower life makes it feel like a conversation with a friend. This is one of the favorite…

    Steven Gillon's The Pact

    The results of the 1994 United States midterm election shocked the political system in the United States. The power in the House of Representatives had not reverted from Democratic dominance since 1952.1 As the clear winners of the 1994 elections, the Republican Party, had lofty goals after winning back the control of the legislative branch after 40 years. As the new majority party, the Republicans used this victory as a platform to reinforce their “Contract with America” ideology.2 Haley Barbour, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said a day after the election that the Republican success was based on “voters embracing Republican ideas of smaller governments, lower taxes and more individual freedom and personal responsibility.”3…

    When Worlds Collide Book Report

    Shari Davies was once a carefree, optimistic young woman. This all changed one night twenty years ago, giving way to an unexpected course of injury, pain, fear, and anger. On November 5, 1986, Shari was abducted, raped, and almost killed (Davies, 1997, pp. 3-4). Rape is a very horrible crime that affects its victims both physically and psychologically, and these affects can last for years (Cooper, 2004). Shari even admits in the book that she still experiences grief, pain and confusion and shares that elements of these emotions will never leave her and her family (Davies, 1997, p 3). How family, friends, and authorities react to a victim has a major impact on how she will deal with the pain and heal. Rape victims who feel ignored or treated negatively may encounter what is known as secondary victimization. When police and other legal and medical providers put the needs of their agencies in front of the needs and psychological boundaries of the victim, victims often feel violated. The disregard of victims' needs by providers can so closely mimic victims' experiences at the hands of their assailants that secondary victimization is sometimes referred to as "the second rape" or the "second assault" (Schultz, 1999). Two sources of frustration and pain to Shari and her family were the police and the media. In this paper I will share how I interpreted Shari to be treated by these entities during her recovery process and the possible implications of such treatment. I will also delve into the issue of the scarcity of resources that Shari and her family encountered and how this has changed both in Australia and the United States.…

    Among The Hidden, By Margaret Peterson Haddix

    Maya Angelou once said, “Freedom is never free.” This is true because a person always has to pay some sort of price in order to be free, whether in a literal sense or not. In the book Among the Hidden, by Margaret Peterson Haddix, Luke Garner is an illegal third child in a place where overpopulation forces the government to make unfair laws. Each family is allowed to have two children, so Luke envies his older brothers and cannot live his life the way he wants to. This is similar to in “Two Sisters, Two Americas,” by Brooke Ross, which tells the reader about an illegal immigrant named Veronica Saravia. Veronica came to the United States with her parents illegally when she was 4 years old. Her sister, Diana, was born in the United States. Diana…

    The Invisible Influence, By Jonah Berger

    Decisions are one of the most detrimental aspects of life. They range from what we do today to what we think of the newest trends. People always believe that their decisions are made at their own discretion, however, more often than not, the things we do are a result of the thoughts, actions, and ideas of the people around us. The effects of influence are everywhere, yet no one seems to notice. In the article “The Invisible Influence”, Jonah Berger discusses the positive and negative impacts it has on our lives. In the book Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card shows how easily children can be swayed by the environment they grow up in, which leads them to make skewed decisions, both good and bad. In both texts, the authors illustrate how the looming presence of influence drives many of our decisions in our daily lives.…

    Connections between everything is illuminated and into the wild

    A common theme in both Into the Wild and Everything is Illuminated is an archetype of this Eden a final destination of journey. For “Alex,” it was his Alaska, for Alex, Jonathan, and Alex’s Grandfather it was Trachimbrod. An Eden in literature is a final destination or state that a character, or set of characters in the case of Everything is Illuminated, strives to achieve or find. Both books have the characters searching for their Eden’s for their own personal reasons. “Alex” takes on his journey to get to his Eden for himself and his constant goal is to make it to his Alaska, his final adventure. Despite all the people he has met and all the amazing things he had done and all the memories he made in his mind he was only set on his Alaska. Ironically, for “Alex” his final Eden was also his final resting place and he was not able to get passed his Alaska. For the group in Everything is Illuminated, they are searching for Trachimbrod as their Eden for their Journey. The idea of an Eden is a very common archetype in literature throughout decades and decades of writing. An Eden can also be a person or a state of being that the main characters are searching for but in both these works the archetype forms as a physical location that the characters are searching for.…

    Summary Of Robert Calef's More Wonders Of The Invisible World?

    The late 1600s bridged a time in the New World where religion was highly valued and superstitions, established from a previous time, ran rampant. Over several centuries ago, from the 1300s-1600s, England was experiencing its own type of witchcraft craze as it went through the process of executing thousands of people for their supposed misdeeds. After putting into place, appealing, reformatting and reenacting various acts all of which, in their own manner, banned supernatural acts and resulted in the death of many, England had finally seemed to move past this elongated obsession, just in time to pass it onto their fellow Englishmen in the New World. Due to the past exposures of hysteria and the already traumatic events occurring in the area,…
