Rain Reign Book Report

Improved Essays
Rain Reign is an amazing book by Ann Martin. This book is about an autistic girl named Rose and her sad adventure with her dog Rain. Although this is one of my favorite books, I wouldn’t want to be a character in it. This is because this book had many sad events that will make you cry while reading it.
For example, Rose’s only friend is her beloved dog Rain. But this only made it so much harder when Rose’s dad let Rain outside in the middle of a hurricane. Rose didn’t know if Rain was alive or if she would ever come home. She had to hopelessly search for her dog wondering if she was even alive. I couldn’t imagine being a character in this book if this would happen to me. Another reason is that Rose’s father isn’t a good man. Instead of calming

    Stormy Weather: The New Hampshire Primary and Presidential Politics by Dante J. Scala is written with the intent to deliberately educate about the New Hampshire Primary. From its birth, with through many examples at various primaries, Stormy Weather does just that without skipping a single beat. Mr. Scala utilizes a concept from Analyst Rhodes Cook that breaks up the nomination process into five stages, but adopts it as his own by applying it almost exclusively to the New Hampshire Primary. The first stage, for example, is the “Exhibition Stage,” also known as the invisible primary due to the fact that there is nothing in place to indicate how well a candidate is performing during this timeframe.…

    Sunrise Over Fallujah In the novel Sunrise Over Fallujah, a man named Robin, also known as Birdy, narrated. I think if the author, Walter Dean Myers, chose a different narrator, the whole book would be told differently. For example, if Jonesy tells the story he would talk more about the Blue’s rather than why he joined the army and how he felt about his family and friends like Birdy did. Some connections I made was how they were in Iraq about a war to get the U.S. weapons back and to change their type of government.…

    Author Tim O’Brien fictionalized himself in a short story called “On the Rainy River” which shows the battle that frequently occurred to a recipient of the draft notice as the war dragged on. In this story, there are many connotations to war and the American soldier persona. Tim battles with a difficult decision that was not uncommon during the late sixties and early seventies. In O’Brien’s short story, Canada was the land of the free, since military duty is optional, and home of the cowards, a description used by many Americans for those who fled from their duties. Often from their fear of such “cowardice”, young men went to boot camp and became soldiers in the Vietnam War.…

    The year is 1968, and the Vietnam War is already 14 years underway. There is not a volunteer army, so the Selective Service System sends out a draft notice to all eligible males between the ages of 18 and 26. There were many ways to get out of the draft like having a disability, having a health condition, being a conscientious objector, being a student or choosing to flee to Canada.
