This book Wild Life was very good. Erik’s parents get deployed into Iraq, Erik is sent to his grandparents' in North Dakota. Erik does not like it at his grandparents' house so he runs away two days after he gets there. There are two reasons why I really liked my book. First, there was a lot of adventure. He gets sent to his grandparent's house in North Dakota. It was a long flight from his home in New York to North Dakota. Also a long Drive from the airport to his grandparents house. Also, he runs away from their house with a dog he found and named Quill. Lastly, he has to survive. He must hunt to get food for himself, and Quill. I would recommend this book to a friend for two reasons. First there is a lot of adventure. He does

    Analysis Of Kai Erikson's A New Species Of Trouble

    In his work A New Species of Trouble: The Human Experience of Modern Disasters, author Kai Erikson describes how a sense of community can arise out of a shared trauma "There is a spiritual kinship there, a sense of identity” (Erikson 231). There are however a “corrosive” effect on the life of everyone in the community and secondhand knowledge of an event will allow the survivor to escape the negative consequences. The victim is left only with a sense of belonging to a triumphant community. This line of thought is more in line with Roman tradition than with the outline provided in Genesis.…

    Before Columbus By Charles Mann Summary

    Tyler Palka History 100D 1491 Book Review Charles Mann is a very intelligent journalist who wrote the book 1491 New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus, he is simply just trying to get things right when it comes to history and more specifically pre Columbian America. Charles Mann’s thesis is to educate others on Native Americans because he feels everyone before him was wrong or didn’t do a well enough job finding out the truth. Charles is a very persuasive journalist I think because of all the resources he used and the way he presented it in the book. Throughout the book Mann essentially tries to look into or paint a portrait of what human life was like in the Americas before the arrival of Columbus and the European history in some…

    The Bean Tree Phase 1 Analysis

    Phase one: Before you read Before i actually get in to my reflection about the book i would like to tell you that the book i first told you is not the book i am doing right now. There were many reason i wasn't able to do that one, first of all i couldn't find the book anywhere i ask all the libraries and they all said that book is checked out in their systems, second reason was that the book was extremely long and i wouldn't be able to finish it, third reason was that the book is extremely boring i looked up a book summary online for it and i got so bored i almost fell asleep reading the summary. So now the book i have is The Bean Tree, now don't get me wrong i'm not saying that this book is NOT boring but its better than my first book. And last thing, i forgot to ask you if this book is okay to read, but i asked the libraries if either the setting is in Tucson or Arizona or the author live in Arizona or Tucson and they said yes sorry ahead of time.…

    The novel Shatter Me written by Tahereh Mafi is foremost one of the best books that I have ever read in my existence.

    Review Of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Double Down

    I think the book, “Diary of a Wimpy Kid Double down”, written by Jeff Kinney, was an awesome book. The book is about a young kid, like me, who is just learning his common sense and his moral ethics. The book was very entertaining to read as it gives the perspective of a young boy, Greg Heffley, of his not-so-ordinary life. People may think he’s ordinary, but when you get into his everyday life, it gets weird. He has an older brother, which I can relate to, and he’s always trying to get out of work, no matter what.…
