Chapters 15-19 a lot of important events occurred that will impact the end of the story I think. Such as in chapter 15 we right away found out about the dark truth of Rudy. It was an extremely shocking new, I was not expecting that at all. I used to think Rudy was probably a nice guy mostly after finding out that he was priest. That maybe he had just felt disappointed about the religion or something and therefore he would drink a lot.…
Now on to the critiquing. One thing that really bothered me was the way he wrote the book. He jumped from one idea to another and then back again- most of the time it was very hard to follow. He would talk about one aspect of a theory, stop randomly, and make it seem like…
1. The tying factor between the two scientists of The New Accelerator and The Man Who Evolved is logic-stopping passion. They are both incredibly passionate about their work until it consumes them, Pollard being "the man who evolved" (Edward Hamilton) and Gibberne being the "Chemist of considerable eminence" (H. G. Wells). One perishes due to this passion, the other does not. Before we the reader, personified into the stories by rather reserved first-person narrators, are allowed to observe the persona of the Narrators we’re assaulted by the Mad Scientists’ passion driven claims and undisputed success. But, that’s where the similarities between the two scientists end. The mad scientist in The New Accelerator was portrayed as excitable, boyish, ostentatious, and…
One chapter is called “How to Tell a True War Story” It’s about all these stories that his friend rat told and how some of them might be real our fake. There was one story that they heard the jungle talk. “And every night they keep hearing that crazy ass gook concert.” People think they were hallucinating and heard the jungle talk and play music. There was also a story about this guy’s best friend died and to take his anger out he shot to pieces a water buffalo. “Rat Kiley had lost his best friend in…
This is personally one of my favorite books, I don't read much but after reading this book it gives me motivation to accomplish things. There is not one part that will bore you while reading this selection. It's a great…

The opening chapters of each of these three books are both similar and different in many ways, and succeed to keep the reader interested enough to carry on their journey with Pip, Nick or Pi.…
The author of the ten most beautiful experiments, George Johnson, plays an important role in the book by writing it from his own perspective. Johnson is an American journalist and a science writer. He even cohosts "Science Saturday" which is a live online weekly discussion, clearly related to science. These facts could help readers know that the author knows what he's talking about and has legitimate reasons behind each and every opinion he has.…
I don’t really remember any experiments or much at all, really. I didn’t find in “class science” to be much fun. I would read books about nature, but it was not as great as seeing it first-hand.…
Both chapters I found interesting because it relates to my life very well. I found out Elliot Aronson, Darley and Latane all kind of try to show that people needs to find reason for their actions. I believe each person as a human have to help everyone no matter what.…
From my prospective I believe that The Boy in the Strip Pajamas was a really interesting book. It gave me a glimpse…
I think Laurence Sterne is the master of experiment, he uses wide range of different means to confuse the reader for example retard or speed up the process of plot, interrupt the way of story (preface is put between 12th and 21th charter of the third book, leaves out a sheet to boost the reader´s imagination). He guides his pen very precisely trying to catch our attention.…
The first book that might be the best is in the very beginning. The Lightning Thief, the first book, is a very good book. It has action, suspense and we can actually relate to the main character. It has a very good plot line and lots of action. There is never a part that doesn't keep you on your toes. For example, my favorite part is when Percy and Annabeth first meet. It's kind of silly but has a lot of potentials to mean something later in the series. It is action packed and if…
Another chapter that caught my attention was Surrealism. That chapter stuck out to me because of all the imagination put into the art pieces. The very first piece by Louise Bourgeois Maman, if I hadn’t read what it as about or for or representing I would have thought it was a huge spider. Some artist have me guessing a lot what they do and what made them do a certain piece in the first place. But luckily I got to read how many of the pieces came about and why they were made.…
Albert Einstein, arguably the greatest scientist and mathematician of all time, is mostly known for his prominent scientific discoveries and achievements. He is often perceived by the public as a scientist who lived his life in his laboratory studying, void of any social life. However, in the essay "My Friend, Albert Einstein" by Banesh Hoffmann, Einstein's long time friend attempts to depict Einstein as a humble and compassionate man, contrary to the mythological figure that people thought he was. He accomplishes this by using simple diction, to portray the human side of Einstein, and anecdotes, to show that Einstein is just an ordinary man.…
