What Is The Difference Between The Childen And The Wolf

The Childen and the Wolves by Adam Rapp: This book was unique compared the others I have read this summer. In the book, three teenagers kidnap a 3-year-old and keep her captive in a basement for several months. Unlike other books with a similar plot the book is not focused on the little girl, each chapter the point of view changes from one character to another. Two boys that go by the names Wiggins and Orange, a girl named Bounce and the little girl known as Frog. This book was very chilling and truly showed how evil and crafty some teenagers can be without proper role models around. This book was definitely written for a mature

    Professors Breen and Innes in their paper suggest that the Eastern Shore was different in one significant respect. Free and strong black community developed during the middle decades of the seventeenth century. Often purchasing their freedom, only a few West India slaves came to the area, where they acculturated rapidly. When they gained their freedom, the Eastern Shore black residents from time to time behaved as their white neighbors.
