    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.…

    Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs is an interesting novel where Johann Hari, the author tells his story of being drawn to addicts and recovering addicts. His feeling of being drawn to these addicts made it possible for him to travel all over the world. I am going to break this novel into three different themes that I saw Hari make. The first theme that I thought was interesting and not surprising is that race plays a huge part in who is to be arrested and or convicted of a crimes because of their race. Secondly, I wanted to focus on one of the program that John Marks set up for heroin addicts where he discovers a breakthrough.…

    We often focus more on the protagonist of stories, but what about the antagonist? Reading all three of the short stories Where Have You Been by Joyce Carol Oates, A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor, and A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner, they all expand the idea of the “bad guy.” The antagonists are the ones that truly develop the situation of stories, because without them there wouldn't be a conflict, or a story in general... At least not an interesting one to say the most.…
