The book I chose to present today is Incarnate by Jodi Meadow. There had always been the same million souls in Range. That all changed when Ana was born. Ana is an 18-year-old girl with auburn hair. Ana had always been isolated from everyone else. When she was born, a different soul by the name of Ciana vanished from Range. To make it worse, Ana wasn’t reborn like everyone else which earned her the title of “nosoul”. On her eighteenth birthday, Ana left her mother Li, who despised Ana, to venture out to find Heart in hopes to find some answers relating to her origins. While on her way to the city Heart, Ana was attacked by a sylph. While on the verge of death, a boy named Sam saved her. When Ana finally arrives at Heart with the help of Sam,

    Anne Fadiman's The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down: Literature Analysis

    While Anne Fadiman rightly asserts in her novel The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures that the tragedy of Lia Lee, a Hmong bounded epileptic child of Laos natives, was a result of cross-cultural misunderstanding; I feel that she does not sufficiently explore the role of language and translation serving as factors of psychosocial and cultural aspects of medical diagnosis and the overall confrontation of foreign patients with the American medical system. As described by Janelle S. Taylor, culture is the process of making meaning and social interactions. The embodiment of cross-cultural meaning can be articulated through the intertwining of language, the duality of vocal…

    They are the eight principles that all deep ecologists follow. The fifth principle states, present human interference with the nonhuman world is excessive, and the situation is rapidly worsening (The Anarchist Library). For example, 137 species of animals are becoming extinct each day, which adds up to 50,005 species disappearing every year, because of deforestation (Oocities). If we don’t start doing something about this issue the world’s animal population will become extinct, and that’s only from deforestation.

    Wasted By Marya Hornbacher: Summary

    This section of text from Marya Hornbacher’s 1998 memoir, Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia, is a first-hand account of her experiences with eating disorders throughout her life. This depiction of her on-going battle with anorexia and bulimia for over fourteen years establishes her familiarity with the topic while appealing to the emotions of the audience as they experience the perspective of a person who has struggled with negative body image, eating disorders, and insecurity. Furthermore, by detailing some of her own experiences—many of which from when she was a child—without establishing a definitive opinion on the implications of negative body image, Hornbacher allows the reader to arrive to their own conclusions about the real-life dangers of the over-glamourized standard for the “perfect” body and the addictiveness of the quest for thinness. Hornbacher’s memoir was originally published nearly two decades ago, illustrating her experiences with eating disorders through the age of twenty-three; however, the content of her book is just as…

    Unbroken Book Review Essay

    Unbroken is more than just something you pick up and read because you’re bored. This story is something so different than the stories I’ve read before, and not just because it was based on a true story. Whilst I was reading this story, I started to realize some things that I haven’t realized before. What Louis Zamperini went through during his lifetime is something not many people would be able to survive through, his story was hard to read in a very emotional sense in which I’ve never really experienced before. This man was more than just a hero, he was a true legend.…
