    Summary: Do You Have A Soccer Team

    One of Paul’s first significant frustrations is when his soccer coach, Coach Walski, kicks Paul off the team. Paul got booted off the team because he is visually impaired, which they wouldn’t have had knowledge of if his mother hadn’t submitted the form in the first place. Plus, throughout the story, Paul tells his mother and father he can in fact see perfectly fine, though they just don’t seem to listen, “‘I can see! Don’t you know that? Why did you have to fill out that stupid form when you know I can see?’”(Pg 64). Also, that impacted Paul pretty hard, considering that he was very much looking forward to soccer. One of the first questions that Paul asked to Mrs.Gates was, “Do you have a soccer team?”(Pg 26). Paul was deprived of the one…

    The Other Wes Moore: Book Review

    It is also structured in a way that shows where these experiences differed and how those differences affected them differently. The book is broken up into three parts: Fathers and Angles, Choices and Second Chances, and Paths Taken and Expectations Fulfilled. Each part focuses on a different time in the men’s lives. The first part, Fathers and Angles, focuses on their childhood and the challenges that they had to overcome. Both men had similar childhoods, yet they were taught how to process them differently. As Wes said, “I was taught to remember, but never question. Wes was taught to forget, and never ask why” (4). The second part, Choices and Second Chances, is about a time period after childhood, but before either of them really became a man. They were too young to realize the outcome of some mistakes, but too old to go without punishment for them. Finally, the book focuses on where the two men ended up. This happens in the third part,, Paths Taken and Expectations…

    The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Essay

    The last 200 pages of this book brought a very wanted ending to the first novel of the trilogy. In some aspects the book completely answered the questions that you had thought, written down, or even said aloud while reading, ☺︎ but in others it left a bit too much to the imagination of the reader. A good author knows when to leave a question unanswered, and that is exactly what Stieg Larsson managed to do throughout the whole book. There were many different plot lines and characters, which helped me identify the conflicts charters had with finding truth, love, and their identity.…
