The author brings out this book, because he tells every detail about what’s going to happen and what they’re going to say. A brother in arms is science fiction.

Martin Luna for example has not changed throughout the book; he is still kind of aggressive especially to Steve Morris. The thing that he wants to change was the day that his brother got shot. Martin now wants revenge. Steve changed a lot more, by getting even meaner. Steve wants to hurt martin to the point where he can’t stand to look at his face anymore.Steve thinks that he’s tougher than everyone. Frankie also changed throughout the book, where he wants to kill martin. In the beginning of the book Frankie was all nice, but then he got violent at the end. Huero martins little brother never got to change because he got killed by Frankie’s other friend. Huero was martins little hero, because he was brave enough to go in front of the car to protect his brother. Huero was only eight when this happened. Huero was a sweet little boy, who did nothing wrong but to just want to hang out with his older brother martin and his friends. Huero wanted to be just like his brother when he grew

    The most significant change in a person that I was able to notice was the change in Billy Ansel. Dolores commented on how he was drunk when she saw him at the demolition derby. He was carrying a flask with him and had a woman with him that was, as Dolores commented, "Not the sort of woman you'd expect to see in Billy Ansel's company" (233). Dolores described the way Billy used to be by saying that he "had been a noble man; and now he was ruined" (235). I could tell differences in Billy as well. The first thing that tipped me off about how he was acting was that he was cursing profusely. Before all of this happened he would curse, but at the demolition derby it was like he couldn't go for an entire sentence without cursing. Russell Banks did a very good job of changing the dialogue that came about in a conversation with Billy Ansel. It really gave me a sense of giving up. It seems to me that Billy has given up. He no longer is trying to be the pillar of strength that he used to be. He doesn't hide the fact that he is a drunk and he doesn't seem to care very much about the woman he is with. These are some very big changes in Billy. He is clearly a wounded and beaten man. I think that Dolores summed it up perfectly when she said, "I looked across to Billy Ansel and realized…

    The Brethren Sparknotes

    The Brethren is a book about the evolution of the Burger Court during the years of 1969 to 1976. The Brethren takes readers inside the court for a fascinating view of how things really work: how justices build majorities for their points of view and, occasionally, how they lose them; how the chief justice can use his power to assign cases to impress their philosophy on the final decision; and the unique role played by the law clerks. This book is a balanced account of the inner workings of the Supreme Court from 1969 to 1976, the first seven years of Warren Burger's tenure as Chief Justice. The storytelling is also clearly slanted against the Burger court but the overall quality of the work makes the bias forgivable. It describes the decision…
