“The Pedestrian” supports this argument because almost all of the people in the story are doing this except Leonard Mead. What Steinbeck is trying to say in his quote is that people do not want to stand out. So they always stay inside with the people they trust and use electronics so they don’t have to go face to face with others. In “The Pedestrian”, Leonard Mead always walks alone at night, on his journey the author describes Meads walks by writing about the houses, the author writes that “on…

Persepolis Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi’s memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. It was an eye-opening, heartbreaking and thought provoking book— I had many thoughts and feelings while reading, so much so that I had to put it down multiple times to take a breather.

depressed. I am going to be totally honest here. I do not want to sugar coat what i am.. Depression has been a part of my life since i was a child, so I don’t know myself without it. So before i get into these stories, im going to say that a lot of the names in here are pseudonyms. Before my story i'm going to talk about what depression is.

What was the saddest part of the book? I think that the saddest part of the book is when Kii has to go to boarding school. He has to be separated from his family. Which would be sad for anyone.

I think the most interesting part is the certain…
