People of the Book

In the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian, written by Sherman Alexie, it does contain sexual references,…

a discussion across the nation. Many people try to debate the point of this book. Many people wonder why the ending ended so poorly. Robert Cormier explained the ending of his book by saying, “I was portraying what happened when good people don’t come to the rescue.” Some people like to claim this quote is untrue; however, I agree with this quote. Because of the poor ending, desertion, and resistion, The Chocolate War proves to be a book where good people do not come to the rescue. The…

Do you know any books banned in your district? The book “The Call of The Wild” should be banned because, it teaches us about history, it can be embarrassing to your district, finally the people (the book is most commonly read in middle school) are mature enough to read the book. First, History. The book teaches you about the gold rush in alaska. “A hundred,” was the reply “wouldn’t take a soul less, so help me.” This shows how hard the times were then, trying to bargain for the dog. It…

Thus I made DREAMS, the topic for my Personal Project. To make people aware about their dreams, goals and what dreams mean according to psychology via book. Many people kill their dreams just because of…

Based on my research, color has played a significant role in our lives dating back to the time of slavery. African American people are known to be at the bottom of the totem pole. For centuries, several shades of black were not considered beautiful, but rather dirty and filthy. In…
