    As is true for most stories, Specials has multiple themes and teaches many important lessons. One central theme is the idea that human nature cannot be controlled, especially their disagreeable mannerisms. The government in Tally’s world attempts to control not only the way people look, but the way they think as well. In the class of people below Tally, the “pretties”, doctors secretly create lesions in the brain during surgery, essentially brainwashing their citizens to make them less confrontational and easier to control. Tally is a special because the pretty surgery did not work on her. Her brain is too powerful to be corrupted even by specifically calculated lesions.

    I really enjoyed reading All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. I personally read it as a novel about a young boy’s quest for what life is all about as well as a sense of belonging, which is why I was surprised that even though he returns home, at the end of the novel, he soon leaves to continue West. Therefore, ending the novel with the reader questioning whether or not John Grady ever finds the place he truly belongs. John Grady Cole is a sixteen year old boy with a naive view of what life might be like, and he enters Mexico with this mindset and gets into various predicaments because of this. During John Grady and Rawlins time in prison they have a conversation with Emilio Perez, which really resonated…

    "Lovin' is what I got." Simple words written by a simple man. A simple man who was not a poet, or a master lyricist for that matter. The front man for Sublime. Brad Nowell was a happy go lucky soul with a rock star attitude. He first laid his fingers on the wood and wire at the age of thirteen and immediately began to develop his own niche in the music world. Inspired by reggae and his Southern Californian upbringing, his unique guitar playing burnt up auditions and shows alike and would eventually propel him to a record deal. However, Nowell was never anything extraordinary. His melodies were catchy and his upbeat ska sound made feet tap yet Nowell never had the essence of Dylan or the soul of Hendrix. By the time he died in May of 1996, Brad…
