In the mood changing book, Freak the Mighty, many issues are brought up, but three of the many stand out to me the most, rehabilitation, coat of arms, and Kevin's syndrome. Rehabilitation is something that must be improved in the USA because currently 25% of the world's prisoners are located in the United States. Coat of arms is different than all the other issues brought up in Freak the Mighty, coat of arms is passed down from generation to generation, to keep your family’s coat of arms there…

Saving Private Ryan, Casablanca, and Inglourious Basterds are three different movies that were produced in different time periods and have different plots, details, and points of view, but all still revolve around one common historical event-World War II. This is an occurrence that happens not only in movies but also in literature. A literary example of this is the correlation between the flood story in The Epic of Giglamesh and the flood story in the Old Testament Bible. Giglamesh is an epic…

Steven’s father, Arnold, was an electrical engineer who designed computers, and his mother, Leah, was an accomplished pianist.

Sonny’s blues narrates the story of two brothers; the one that decided to go in the good way and have a relatively normal life, and the one that tilted to the dark side. Sonny was the younger of the two. The things were not going the right way in his life. He was arrested for used and possession of Heroin and he had obviously chose the wrong path.

The trajectory of the sports industry is constantly changing. This is partly due to the numerous transformational leaders that have brought in ideas from varying industries from sports. As discussed in Sports Leadership in the 21st Century, transformational leaders are “those who inspire followers to achieve extraordinary outcomes while also helping to develop the individual leadership skills of their followers” (Borland, p. 46). Transformational leaders employ the necessary leadership skills to…

The Webster dictionary defines a freak as such “one that is markedly unusual or abnormal”. Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner have a slightly different perspective on the term freak. “To think a bit differently, a bit harder, a bit more freely” (Think Like a Freak, 211). Throughout their novel, they encourage you, as the reader, to think diversely in your everyday life. Each chapter guides you through a new insightful way to think about situations. From admitting that you just don’t know,…

A boomerang produces the same results no matter how, where, or why it was thrown. It always comes back to the original location, even when consciously trying to alter its course. The end result is always predictable, like destiny. Destiny is like any greater force humans cannot see, hear, or touch. It leaves the world divided. Some people believe that outcomes are solely the product of choices. Others believe in a greater force that influences the decisions a person makes. However, a combination…

However, if they pay more attention to the problem, I believe there is always a simple way to solve the problem, which sometimes could be the best solution to the problem. As Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner state in their book titled Superfreakonomics, “But the best fix, he realized, was also the simplest one” (Levitt and Dubner 148). Nowadays, people tend to use internet and social medias most of the time, either at work or…
