    about. The purpose of Brian’s Song was to inform people of the inspiring story and Brian and Gale. The goal was achieved. Brian’s Song leaves a reader thinking and grateful for what they have. “I think I owe you a lot more than that”(71). After what Brian did to help Gale recover from his injury, Gale knows that what they have is special and they need to always be by each other’s side. This makes Brian grateful for the relationship he has. This is what makes the book so touching. I, like many others before me, felt moved from the book. What happens in the life of Brian and Gale makes it hard for one not to be moved. “You flatter me by giving me this award-but I tell you here and now I accept it for Brian Piccolo”(111). Brian wins the George S. Halas Courage Award, but cannot accept it. Yes, he went through struggles in his knee. Yet Brian was the one that helped him return to full health. And at the moment, Brian was facing a much bigger task than knee injury. What these two men do for each other makes Brian’s Song a must read. I would recommend this book to plenty of others. Brian’s Song is excellent at explaining the worth Brian and Gale were to each other. “Hey, Gale? They said you gave me a pint of blood. Is that true?”(112). Brian and Gale were willing to do anything for each other. When Brian came down with cancer, Gale did everything he could do to help. That is why everyone should read this book, it shows the care and responsibility they put into each other.…

    Animal Farm by George Orwell, is a satirical novella analysing the Russian political climate of 1945. With England’s increasing contact with the Soviet Union, during the rise of Joseph Stalin and brewing of the Cold War, Orwell sought to vent his frustrations through his art.

    ” Will believes that “the general shortening of sentences reflects, in part, a change in nature of Inaugural Addresses.” He refers to Teddy Roosevelt who called the presidency “a bully pulpit.” Later addresses have had an incentive to tell Americans how to behave with phrases such as “The only thing we have to fear…” and “Ask not…” A more popular phrase which was used by Kennedy and Nixon was “Let us…,” which according to Will means, “For Pete’s sake, pull up your socks and shape up.” The…

    I had to understand why Seurat used such a difficult technique for his work. I then came upon the theory that perhaps he wanted to produce a deeper sense of life in his paintings. All things in the world are composed of millions of cells, and these cells create objects, color, and everything that practically exists. I imagine that Seurat's motive was to utilize this scientific law in his work to give an atmosphere of life, texture, and movement in the scenes that he…
