Cameron Winters's The Mind Readers

Improved Essays
The Mind Readers is about love, family, mystery, but most of all betrayal. I found this book browsing through the kindle store and got it as an eBook. Cameron Winters, the story’s main character, has believed that her and her grandma were the only mind readers her entire life. She was also told her parents were dead. That is until she finds that her grandmother had lied to her all these years. Cameron hated her life, moving states every year or two, always running from something she didn’t know. Then while the two were living in Maine, the truth came out. It started with the murder of a girl named Savannah. After she was found dead on the beach, the whole town lived in fear knowing that the killer could still be there. Then only a few days …show more content…

Cameron is very dynamic. In the beginning, she just rolls with what she gets. Thinking she is a freak and hating life. But when she finds out she is not alone with her powers, she is desperate to meet the others. Throughout the book she changes from the third wheel who just wants a normal life to a problem solver who learns to accept her gift. Cameron Winters is why everything in the story happens. Lewis is also dynamic. He starts out trying to persuade and trick Cameron to come to the mansion to meet Aaron. His intentions are to use her only for her powers but he ends up falling in love. Later even though he is in love with her he becomes her enemy. He prevents her from saving the children and says she should simply leave if she thinks what they do is wrong. At the end of the book it seems to Cameron that he let her get her memory erased instead of helping her. In the second or third book of the series is when you find out he really did try to help her but got his memory erased too and was placed to live on his own. In these ways, Cameron and Lewis are dynamic

    As a result of the Cold War, many aspects in the American Culture changed immensely. It was a time in which two superpowers held each other hostage, each afraid that one would have complete control of the entire world. However, it also brought about the increase in technology, more specifically the television, which rapidly intruded people’s daily lives. In the interest of preventing communism from spreading to the west, the United States limited the amount of freedom of speech that was allowed in the country and advanced its technology in an attempt to always be a step ahead of the Soviet Union. Thus McCarthyism – the practice of making accusations of pro-communist activities – was incorporated, and led to the belief that any disagreement…

    Pretend you were told you are going to die in ten seconds, what are you going to do? Would you cry, get angry, and throw a fit or would you use what time you have left and look for things to be thankful for, see the world, and hear what it has to say? You choose the second option and realize how much you miss throughout your life. You wish you would have decided to do this earlier, but now it's too late.

    Critical Reading Response Kindred 4. The way I see it, being complicit is the same as knowing about it and doing nothing to stop it. White women were just as involved as Black slaves that knew of the sexual exploitation, set aside the fact that they were slaves and could not do much in abolishing this issue but they were still complicit. I agree because Dana was discreet with helping Rufus get Alice so in the end she was involved. Since the beginning Dana knew of what Rufus has become with trying to rape Alice.…

    The argument employed in Reading and Thought by Dwight MacDonald is an attack on the new culture of writing embedded into Time magazine. MacDonald goes on to describe the writing to be largely “massed” with many topics, however, these topics simply serve as an outlet to fulfill your curiosity with no other true function. He also goes on to state that the majority of the writing is useless because it does not cause action to be stirred up in a reader to cause them to “make more money, take some political or other action to advance his interests, or become a better person.” MacDonald in return goes on to even proclaim that this new form of writing has developed our thought and minds to be “rapid, purely rational, classifying habit of mind, something…

    University students who insist on censorship by a college administration when a topic, issue or idea causes them emotional distress, effectively denies all who participate in the academic setting the basic right of freedom of speech in a venue that should be open to free exchanges of ideas. To take away topics that give them emotional stress, students have come up with a solution to the issue, trigger warnings. According to Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff’s The Coddling of the American Mind, trigger warnings are alerts for professors to give their students if trauma-trigging material is going to be taught (Haidt and Lukianoff 44). These trigger warnings fall under the category microagressions.…

    After watching the movie "A Beautiful Mind" i learned a wide range on how critical thinking can take form in many quiet and sneaky ways and just how important it really is. This movie would be very helpful to a student of Critical Thinking because of those reasons. It shows the hit/effect critical reading has with a practical example and shows how it can affect us in or day to day lives and how much we can benefit from thinking critically and how much we can loss by having a "dull" mind. In the movie i (saw/heard/became aware of) a few facts that were worth (seeing/hearing/becoming aware of).…
