Americans sure do waste a tremendous amount of food. Wasted food is also the single biggest occupant in American landfills. Globally, about 800 million people suffer starvation, but only ten years ago the total was almost 1 billion.

gain from such an interminable beginning with characters that do not really contribute to the plot. However, for most of the novel, Holden describes all of his misadventures around the city. Again, most fail to see the point of all of this junk cluttering the story. The only plot points of the novel that are vital to the story are the death of Holden’s brother, and the discussion that Holden has with Phoebe. This novel's plot was good, but it was full of unnecessary events, and would honestly…

The destruction of traditional cultures and the exposure to new technologies and modern culture show us that industry and modern society might bring more economic prosperity, but our happiness and mental health is what is becoming more and more affected and at risk. Some of these include anxiety, other psychological conditions, disconnected relationships,…

The book I chose to read for the third quarter is called “The Anybodies”. This book was written by Julianna Baggott (N. E. Bode). I was excited to read this book because the cover looked very interesting and it seemed like a book I would be interested to read.

Eleven years later, Fern’s biological father comes to their front door and the families…
