1. Jonathan Maberry, the author of award-winning book Rot and Ruin, writes this story in a very eye-captivating way including interesting character development and plot through the theme of “Sometimes you have to be the change you want to see”. The story starts off with the protagonist, Benny, hating his brother, Tom, for his cowardly appearance in his first memory of his parents and the zombie-infested, ruin, outside of the encumbrance of the fence. As the story progresses Benny must find a job or he will lose the slim food rations he has. When the cutoff date ever so slowly approaches Benny eventually accepts that he needs to work with his brother, killing zombies upon special request.…
“In 1952, polio reached its peak when over 58,000 cases were reported, including 3,145 deaths.” (About Jonas Salk) Polio is among the top ten epidemics in the United States history and the widespread panic created by it could have continued longer without the polio vaccine’s inventor, Jonas Salk. Although Jonas Salk’s intentions and methods were called into question by many, his Poliomyelitis vaccine ended the polio epidemic of the early-mid 20th century. Background…

Peter Novick creates a narrative looking at the approach that has been used over the course of American history looking at professional historiography. Specifically, he looks at the idea of objectivity and its development in America, as well as the contrast of development of the idea in other places. For Americans, objectivity was the basis of their practice. It began so by the development of a certain cadre of historians taught in Germany and perpetuated by them when they returned to the American system. Leopold von Ranke to them was the definition of what a historian should be, describing him as an objective and impartial figure dislocated from bias.…
Simak plays with the characters he’s created not only for the plot but to also usher his theme upon the reader. The protagonist of the story, Kent Fowler, is portrayed as a fairly normal guy although he has a level of status and another character even says “Some day you will be a great man…” (Simak 3). Despite this he will eventually choose to leave his human form behind, this is another finger pointed towards the antihumanism theme. Towser, a reoccurring character in Simak’s stories and Fowler’s faithful canine sidekick, can also be viewed as another tool to get this theme passed along to the readers.…

They are the reason why we are here according to Paul.…
Success and failure are common encounters that many people face and it should not be a stopping point for one to continue to achieve a goal. While many American icons come face to face with this conflict, the end result is a person, an icon that has made a positive impact on their surroundings, which their struggles are often overlooked. Although they may hit a few bumps along the way, the end result of their achievement is what is left to be discussed all over the world. Jonas Salk is one of those figures that can be greatly considered an American icon. Born on October 28, 1914, in New York City, Jonas Salk was the oldest of three siblings and also the first one to attend college and receive a medical degree (“Jonas Salk”).…

Edward Busk was well known in his profession and had done good work for the country, and at such a time could be ill spared.…
