My extremities would have been motionless and my recovery would have taken an innumerable amount of effort through the assistance I would have needed trying to cope with life. From this realization, I experienced a change in my perspective, and I experienced a change in my understanding of humanity. I did not have to face the ignorance I felt or the simple life I cherished anymore. Losing my…

each other. She seems to go all over the place, going from Latin America to Europe, to Asia. It seemed fairly scattered, and I felt that she could have added more relevant information. She says a lot about inequality and how “Inequality is nobody’s fault and cannot be fixed in our lifetime.” She then divides her thoughts into main categories: history, the poor’s rational decisions, prosperity, and bad economic policy. The four points she makes, I do agree with. However, those are…

Someone selling the meat that is diseased in order to make a profit is an example of acting knowingly. Recklessly is where one…

The San Francisco earthquake in 1906 was almost completely destroyed San Francisco. Buildings collapsed, fires were spread, and the city was left in shock and devastation. Mark Twain and Jack London each wrote an essay on the San Francisco earthquake describing the events that took place during, and after the earthquake; however, they each took a different approach stylistically on writing the essays.

The book I chose to read is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. The genre of this book is young adult, and realistic fiction. The reason I chose to read this book was because I saw the movie and it was depressing and I liked that and wondered if the book was the same way.

With that being said, Gus is the protagonist because although he knows…
