Stupid Is as Stupid Does One of the two books I read was Forrest Gump‚ written by Winston Groom. I spent almost two months on it‚ and I found it so interesting and instructive that the simple and easy words could touch my heart. Forrest Gump is a man who has a very low intelligence. Everyone‚ including himself‚ thinks that he is an idiot. The narrator of this book is himself‚ and it is interestingly different to see the world from an “idiot”. Though he might not be so good at dealing with social

Some of them are: The Disputed Questions on the Power of God‚ Exposition of Dionysius on the Divine Names and Disputed Questions on Spiritual Creatures.

that karma is a real‚ active force of nature. For example‚ say that you plan to cheat on a test and tell your friends about it. They might say "don’t do that‚ karma will bite you in the butt."

Although it does accomplish one of the goals of punishment‚ incapacitation‚ imprisonment does not work. I think that imprisonment is overused‚ especially in the United States. We have the highest incarceration rate today
