Flight #116 Is Down
Title- Flight #116 is Down Author- Caroline B. Cooney Setting- Nearing River Main Characters- Patrick and Heidi.

Summary- The Book is about an 18-year old boy named Patrick who is an EMT Hospital volunteer who is like a paramedic, but he has less knowledge than a paramedic does. He helps victims who have been in accidents or other problem, but Patrick doesn't like his job because he lives in a small town where no real accidents are reported. A lot of his calls are just false alarms. He always wished that a real tragedy would happen.

One day, a plane crashed in the back of a girl's home. Her name was Heidi. Heidi went to call the hospital because she noticed the plane that had crashed in her backyard. Later, the EMT Hospital volunteers from all around the state were called to help the survivors out of the plane wreckage. Patrick finally got out of traffic to get to the crash sight so he could actually help out in a real accident. Heidi wasn't a part of the EMT Hospital volunteers so; she didn't know what do. She wanted to help out the injured people that are dying in her backyard. Another reason why she couldn't help out is because she doesn't have enough knowledge as they do in rescuing lives.

Then ambulances started to arrive and took the injured out into the ambulances and taking them to the hospital. At the end was saved except for a few victims that weren't found at the crash. TV news crews came to the sight and reported the sight "The Dove House Crash." Opinion- My opinion on this book is that I thought it was interesting how even kids can help people in big situations like

    First, Do No Harm

    Patrick Dismuke was a young African American boy, at the age of fifteen when the story starts, and a regular patient at Hermann Hospital. Patrick was born with a severe case of Hirschsprung’s disease, a disorder of the digestive tract, and was unable to digest his food. Throughout Patrick’s life, he spent more days in the hospital than out and came to be quite comfortable with the environment and staff at Hermann. Due to his disease his only way of nutrition was through a feeding tube, unfortunately these tubes often got infected. Since Patrick’s immune system was also weak, the infections were almost as bad as the disease itself. The doctors were forced to put the boy through surgery multiple times to replace infected tubes, each time making him weaker and bringing him closer to death. Once the he became too weak for the surgeries, the doctors were faced with a dilemma- to do surgery or not? The surgery to place a new tube directly into his heart would be risky and potentially kill him, but if the surgery did not occur, the infection would slowly destroy his body and block the tube causing him to starve to death. Before any decisions could be made, the doctors needed to consult the patients mother, Oria Dismuke, was a single mother who worked extensive hours at whatever jobs she could find sometimes working as many as three at a time. Oria was a quiet and didn’t have much to say about her opinion, it’s not that she didn’t care; she was just exhausted and wanted her son to be both happy and comfortable. Along with the mother, the doctors also had to meet with a hospital ethics committee before taking action. The committee met many times throughout the book and made many contradictory decisions depending on his progress at the time of the meeting. First, the committee decides to make Patrick DNR but he began to get better, so after consulting him, they ended up doing another risky surgery. The committee seemed…

    The Sweethere After

    In a similar story to Newtown, Russell Banks’ novel “The Sweet Hereafter” tells the story of a community that was changed after a bus tumbled down into a frozen water-filled sandpit, killing 14 children. The people in town believed that the accident was not really and accident, that it was somehow caused, and that, therefore, someone was to blame (73). The struggle to assign blame and liability is the essence of the story. The story is divided into detailed interpretations of four different key characters: Dolores Driscoll (the bus driver, who survived the accident). Billy Ansel, (the town hero, father of twins that died on the bus, who saw the accident). Mitchell Stephens (the lawyer from New York City, whose job was to sue the State and the School Board for negligence. Finally, Nichole Burnell (beautiful fourteen-year-old girl who became paraplegic in the accident).…
