In Black Jacks by Jeffrey Bolster, the author discusses the complications and ramifications black seafaring had on the creation of black identity in America, which challenges the typical narrative we learn, that the sea was only used to transport blacks through the middle passage for land based slave labor. Bolster argues that black men significantly contributed to maritime labor while it also providing blacks with certain levels of freedom, community, and interaction among other things. Bolster paints a picture for the reader through multiple secondary sources which in this case were autobiographies written by various black sailors. The author seeks to explore these black sailors backgrounds and first hand experiences looking all the way…
October is the perfect time of year to indulge in a few Halloween frights, and for those movie lovers with children, Paranormal Activity and Crimson Peak just won't do. So Goosebumps will have to fill that gap. Twenty-somethings might feel the temptation to revisit R.L. Stine's wares since they grew up with it, but this is strictly kids' fare. With hundreds of Goosebumps novels to choose from, Sony could easily release at least one movie a year until 2020. Instead, director Rob Letterman…

As I walked to the cafeteria I feel very weird inside almost like I have butterflies in my stomach. Out of no were I see a kid fly like super man straight across the room. I only see a blur. Then after he’s on the ground I could see him clearly. I could also hear people chanting like wild animals. Then I…
The park was crowed as everyone cherished his last game. It was a special moment, the kids felt like rockstars.Their laughs and smiles brightened up my day. "Darryl!" I turned around and saw Jack racing full speed towards me. He gave me a high five that stung my hand, and we talked for a little while. The game was about to start, so we headed towards the field. I could smell the popcorn in the air, and Jack said he wanted some so I bought it. "Today 's my last game" said Jack "are you coming…

1. THEME: The theme in the realistic fiction story Wonder by R.J Palacio is, it doesn’t matter what’s on the outside it’s the inside that counts. I know that’s probably the most cliche saying ever but, it’s true especially in the book Wonder. I say this because the main character August isn’t very well liked at first by anyone but Summer, because of the way he looks, this is especially sad because August has an amazing personality according to Jack, Jack says “... if all the guys in the fifth…
the instant success of making waves in the market, after rebranding, I would give Fireball a grade of A in this category.

Jack Daniel 's Tennessee Fire’s image is representative of the positive…

Many young readers only look at what a story is about, rather than how it is written. Many authors use style devices, movements of literature, and thematic meaning in their works. Jack London wrote "Love of Life" and "To Build a Fire," with these ideas in mind. London uses a lucid style, many movements of literature of his time and deliberate thematic ideas in his many tales of the gold rush. According to http://www.biography.com/people/jack-london-9385499, Jack London was born on January…
