Trivedi and Over the Top, written by Rene Skelton. The article Over the Top talks about photographer Carson Peter and his job photographing dangerous places. The Spider Man Behind Spider-Man talks about Steven Kutcher and how he took his career of being an Entomologist though a twist and began to work in Hollywood. There are an array of similarities and differences between the two men's careers, along with this one of them obviously has the more dangerous job.

My high school was in the city and prided itself on diversity when in reality it was not that diverse. I think that my high school was similar to the movie.…

I think his reasoning for saying, "Let ‘em swoller you till they vomit or bust wide open" is to tell the narrator never give up. He wants him to keep going even if they can't stomach him any longer and to fight for what he believes in despite what other people's reactions are to it. Let people be sick of what the narrator does but that shouldn't make him stop what he's trying achieve.…
