Somewhere For Everyone By Grisham
Another difference is how the authors present their own personal feedback on the subject or not. Grisham’s piece is much more of a personal experience, instead Weinthal’s report of an issue. Grisham uses first person perspective to describe how he was chased by a panhandler, how he did personal research, and how he actually felt. The title, “somewhere for everyone,” actually refers to when he says, “Everyone has to be somewhere.” His opinion is that we can not hide homeless people and pretend the problem is gone.

He is completely third person, telling

Spreading democracy and liberty all over the world yet forgetting some part of the history full of abusement, racisms, and evil. The novel, Between The World And Me, written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, who is know for expressing black culture by writing novels, talks about some of this history.

When I first learned about the history of African Americans, I was shocked and I wanted to know even more about their culture and their backgrounds since, my culture is different from theirs. I was also disguised because American history was so cruel. One of the reasons that I took this class was also to learn more about African American culture.

    In 2010, Laura Hillenbrand released a brilliant tribute to a resilient national hero, Louis “Louie” Zamperini, whose story was not widely known at the time. Fast forward four years and this tribute, Unbroken, has been made into a major motion picture and the remarkable story of the Olympian-turned-soldier has reached the masses. In the book Unbroken, which I read shortly after it was released, Hillenbrand chronicles Zamperini’s epic and, at times, terrifying odyssey. Raised in California, he was the son of Italian immigrants.…

    If I told you that a blob of ink can determine your personality, would you believe me? According to “What’s in an inkblot? Some Say, Not Much” by Erica Goode, the Rorschach inkblot test is a psychological test that asks the reader to interpret what they see in order to determine a person's personality or tendencies.

Others will prove or disprove the use of the Rorschach test and its validity.…

    Till it´s gone Robert Crumb born in Philadelphia 1943 (73 year), also called R. Crumb, has made 1992: short history of America, which is a colorful short cartoon about America throughout the past years. The pictures remind me of a song called "Don´t know what you got, till it´s gone” because, in the comic strip the wonderful nature is destroyed, and eventually the people who lived there have planted trees which I think is a sign that when we destroyed nature, we realized what we had lost, and regretted it. Industry is a big success for the world, but at the end, people will long for the past. “Don´t know what you got till it´s gone Don´t know what it is I did so wrong…
