This event made it particularly clear to me that, had my brothers and I not cooperated, Noir would have most likely not been found. It would have been overwhelming for a single person to continuously search without sleep and rest.We immediately split responsibilities. Two of us went out looking while the third began producing 'lost cat' signs. During this event I recall thinking that Noir must've been wondering where his bed, food, and humans were and that he might die alone and afraid. This thought terrified me as we were responsible for him and we couldn't let him suffer like that.

    Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a dystopian novel that takes the reader on a journey through a future world where books are illegal. The novel outlines the fact that books are important to civilization in many ways, whether it be content, characters, themes, or any important historical foundation that books contain. At the end of the book, the main character, Guy Montag, grabs a few books to save from the firemen, and finds himself amongst a group of homeless book lovers who each have books, or portions of books, memorized where they are safe from the hands of firemen and the government.

Rich with gender and racial history, The Color Purple by Alice Walker exemplifies what life was like in the early 1900s for southern African American women.…
