Alex ‘Hawk’ James has a sordid and violent past, one that, in part, leaves him the single father of a little girl. His only solace is the world he’s made within the Dogs of Fire Motorcycle Club.

Payton Williams has everything under control. Her neat little world is as she has made it and she’s happy with the life she’s leading. But when a chance encounter with a gorgeous biker upends her tidy plans, she finds herself confronting things she’d been happy to gloss over... until now.

Will Hawk and Payton’s different worlds collide in chaos, or will they come together and heal the wounds of the past?

Will a threat from someone out of Hawk’s past destroy the trust he and Payton are

    An Analysis Of The New Jim Crow By Michelle Alexander

    In the article, “The New Jim Crow,” Michelle Alexander vigorously argues the means in which the American prison system disenfranchises poor people of color by creating a dynamic author-reader relationship through the use of pathos, logos, and ethos, to effectively persuade and appeal her claims to the reader. Utilizing the pathos approach, Alexander evokes emotion from the readers through her use of emotive and visual diction. Moreover, Alexander uses the ethos approach by including the sources and citations or the information she presents her audience.

    The Strange Career Of Jim Crow Summary

    In C. Vann Woodward’s book, The Strange Career of Jim Crow, Woodward talks about the “Twilight Zone” which was the period of myths. Woodward was the first Historian to write about race relations in the time period between 1860 and 1965. Woodward’s purpose of writing this book was to show that segregation even by law has always been prevalent, and to “make the attempt to relate to the origins and development of Jim Crowism to the bewildering rapid changes that have occurred in race relations” (C.V.W. 2nd Preface pg. 17). Woodward’s thesis throughout his book was that racial segregation, which was later known as Jim Crow in the South, did not begin immediately after the Civil War in 1865; moreover that race relations changed in the 1890s and…

    Michelle Alexander The New Jim Crow Summary

    The mass incarceration of African-American males is at an all time high, and the prison-industrial complex is rife with racism and injustice. There are 5 times as many Whites using drugs than African-Americans, but African-Americans are being convicted of drug related offenses 10 times the rate of Whites. But, the real injustice starts when former convicts are released from jail and are labeled as felons. In The New Jim Crow, Michelle Alexander claims that felons show the same loss of liberty as African-Americans living under Jim Crow laws in Alabama. Felons, especially those who are African American, are treated similar to colored people under Jim Crow because of the loss of rights among felons, the stigma of former offenders in society, and…

    Alexander The New Jim Crow Analysis

    Alexander focuses a chapter on the silent truth of mass incarceration of blacks across the country, attempting to compare it to the actual Jim Crow era while pointing out the differences. The parallels between the systems of control seem obvious while there are significant differences that Alexander highlights and tries to shrink, such as the assumption that Jim crow was race-based, when in fact laws were race-neutral but were set up in a way to make it seem otherwise. The argument stands with the parallel between Jim Crow and the drug war. Alexander says that laws having to do with the sale and use of drugs are supposedly “race neutral” but enforced in a “highly discriminatory fashion.” She argues that the drug war is set up to target African…

Leading up to the fact that Haley startled Malcolm X, in his own automobile, by stating, “…if he would tell his life story for publication,” which Malcolm X replied two days later, “’I’ll agree’” (386).…

    The Morality Of Chris Mccandless

    Chris McCandless died alone in the Alaskan wild while living completely off of the land. “Some readers admired the boy immensely for his courage and noble ideals:” while “: others fulminated that he was a reckless idiot, a wacko, a narcissist who perished out of arrogance and stupidity-and was undeserving of the considerable media attention he received” (Krakauer xi). These quotes represent the feelings of many who read Into The Wild, but most people ignore the important aspects of Chris McCandless’ personality and his self imposed purpose. McCandless was a kind, intelligent and free-spirited young man who may not have been completely prepared for his journey, he was able to accept death in the end, knowing that he lived a life that too…
