    My Favorite Book 'Point Guard' By Mike Lupica

    One of my favorite books is Point Guard, by Mike Lupica. This book is about a girl named Cassie who has been the best at sports her whole life. She played softball and girl’s basketball, but her team always won. Eventually she got tired of everything being easy, so she decided that she was going to play on the boy’s basketball team this year. Her friend Gus Morales doesn’t know what to think of this. He doesn’t know if or why he is against a girl playing with boys. Throughout the season Gus has to resolve a fight with Cassie and deal with a teammate who makes from his Dominican Heritage. This book is my favorite because I can relate it to my life when I used to play boy’s basketball and baseball. It was also just written recently, so some…

    Analysis Of The Boys War By Jim Murphy

    “An exciting adventure.” That was the mentality of boys and men all over the North and South, leading up to the Civil war. Seeing an alternative to the monotonous farm life, many men were eager and filled with anticipation at the thought of being in a war. In The Boys War by Jim Murphy, these men and boys learn the truth about war. Many preconceptions are shattered, and fantasies are broken wide open by reality. One common misconception was that the fighting would be constant, but this was not the case. When soldiers were not marching, being drilled, or in the midst of a skirmish, there was often leisure time. During these periods, men and boys were free to pursue activities and games. Gambling, pulling pranks, and occasional fraternization were three pastimes of men and boys alike during the war.…

    Young Gay And Murdered Summary

    Most people try to avoid issues concerning homosexuality by being neutral even if they have a problem with it. Schools face a bigger problem staying neutral since they must protect students’ rights, as well as maintaining order for the entire school. In the article “Young, Gay and Murdered” by Ramin Setoodeh, Larry King was a young man with a very bubbly personality and a very flamboyant appearance. His time at E.O. Green was tough; Larry was teased very often about his sexuality. Although Larry did not help the situation by making remarks that pushed other boys further into homophobia. Larry was interested in a boy named Brandon; however Brandon did not feel comfortable with the flirtatious remarks towards him. Brandon felt the only option to take care of his situation with Larry was to kill him. The staff at E.O. Green should have taken the time to investigate what was going on between the two boys. This…

    Summary By Stokely Carmichael

    Stokely Carmichael focuses on not only black power but the internal logic of why he was giving it. The internal logic of poor and rich, non-violence and violence, black and white, freedom and integration, and moral and political. Poor and rich is the basis of social hierarchies. Social hierarchies is merely the power or privilege that attaches to you by your social position or status. It is applicable to all of society which characterizes the culture of the United States. Poverty is poorness which is defined by what it does not include, having money, rather than what it does include. Stokely Carmichael begins in his speech with poor instead of rich and then defines it by what it is not, “A man is poor for one reason and one reason only- he does not have money. If you want to get rid of poverty, you give people money.” It’s a clear way to rid of poverty, exactly how he stated “you give people money,” (Carmichael).…
