    In the book David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants, by Malcolm Gladwell, Gladwell raises a contrary voice on the misconceptions of underdogs and outsiders. According to Gladwell, “We think of things as helpful that actually aren’t and think of other things as unhelpful that in reality leave us stronger and wiser.” (25). The Merriam Webster’s Dictionary defines an advantage as “superiority of position or condition” and a disadvantage as “an unfavorable, inferior, or prejudicial condition”. Gladwell uses the story of David and Goliath, from the bible, to show the misconceptions we have about underdogs and outsiders.…

    Energy is an important aspect of any paper because it helps convey the type of story you want and lets the reader know what it would feel like to be in that situation. While reading “The Colonel” by Carolyn Forche, energy could start to be felt from the very beginning and grew stronger with each word. Building on to the vibes that the story starts with creates more complex layers and a sense of really being there in that room with the character telling the story. Forche does this with different types of techniques such as specific words, leaping, and controlling time.…

    Everyone knows that some people are dealt a better card than others, however often times it doesn 't matter what deck of cards one is dealt, rather how they use them.

This doesn 't make someone with an easy deck of cards weak, it just says that they have it easier.

    Malcolm Gladwell’s “David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants” is overall about how disadvantages can be advantages and vice versa. I think one purpose of this story was to provide the audience with a new perspective of how to face hardship and challenges. To inspire people to view obstacles and challenges in a different way. Malcolm Gladwell starts the book by retelling the bible story of David and Goliath and how it affected our view of what it takes to defeat a “giant.” In this case, a giant can refer to any obstacle, for example a disability, misfortune, or some type of oppression.…

    "Mice are my heroes because, like children, mice are little and have to learn to be courageous and use their wits." --Brian Jacques. Redwall, a stunning and rich book written by Brian Jacques, is pure bliss when reading. Although Redwall is a fantasy book, it portrays a rather medieval age feeling; and Brian Jacques is able to instantly set this with his archaic vocabulary. The main characters of this book include: Abbot Mortimer, Asmodeus Poisonteeth, Basil Stag Hare, Cluny the Scourge and his horde, Methuselah, and Matthias(all of the characters in Redwall are anthropomorphic animals-- they act and communicate like humans).…

    I finished reading the book Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan on April 18, 2017. A part that disappointed me was when I found out that Sadie’s mom died, because if I was in Sadie's position I would feel like have a part of me missing and probably cry once in awhile, especially thinking about the fact that I would not be born without her. While reading the book,I wondered if the stranger in the the beginning of the book was actually their mother because in most books the mysterious person is almost always someone who he/she knows or is related to. My favorite character is Carter, because even when Sadie does thing she shouldn’t be doing or starts to act like a brat Carter never gets annoyed and makes sure she is safe. While reading the book, I got…
