obvious resentment of committing to Brave New World’s manipulated society when he rejects the process of adapting to the societal norm.

Looking up swiping the sweat from his eyes he smiled at the other. “Do you sing?” He asked catching the brunette off guard. Antonio blinked twice his green eye regarding the taller man.

tires. Consequently, I think the ropes work well on ice and snow, you don’t slide around on the slippery ice and can move well in the snow. My cousin Gabriel and I go through mountainous snow drifts and the ropes help enormously, so we don’t spin out. Last year we wrecked a lot while riding our bikes because the ice was like glass, causing us to slip often. Now, after using ropes on our tires it really helps because we don’t like to wreck. Wrecking really hurts because your knees hit the…

to shake and I could feel myself pale. I remember glancing around the gym and seeing a large group of the grade playing soccer, the other half watching and cheering in the bleachers. I felt my vision begin to shake and blur as if I was looking through glazed glass. One of my friends noticed and thought I was going to be sick. So they told me to go talk to the gym teacher that was across the gym and tell him I didn’t feel well. I remember being terrified to even stand. I was afraid I was going…

Then later that night we decided that we would make some s'mores once it gets dark. It was gonna be a normal camping trip, but the bear…

a bomb on the fantastic ideas fabricated by the narrator. All the possibilities invented by the narrator could not be farther from the truth; Isabella’s letters are all bills. Woolf shows her dedication to the truth by including this boring fact. Through the normal day-to-day delivery of bills, she is presenting the “ordinary” as the true identity of Isabella.Woolf is leading her readers from subjectivity to the…

I chose the book Crazy: A Father’s Search through America’s Mental Health Madness by Pete Earley. Earley had been an award-winning journalist for thirty years and written about America’s criminal justice system but always from the “outside looking in” (p. 1). That all changed, however, when his son Mike was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The central theme of Crazy is chronicling Earley’s year-long investigation into the de-institutionalization and ensuing criminalization of the mentally ill…

made in heaven. A perfect pair. How could he have imagined she would be ripped away from him? They had been through so much together. They had endured confinement and segregation. Even when they thought they had become a part of something bigger than themselves, they had been forced to carry heavy loads in toxic air environments. But they had endured it all. They had stayed together through it all. It had been tough, but they had made it. Then it happened. He had been thrown into a whirlpool…

pure and innocent and that reminds him of himself. His actions towards Sybil is not sexual, but from respect. As David Ed explains” His kissing Sybil's foot is a gesture of respect, a gesture that she (in her innocence) cannot understand.” He’s not looking at her as a sex object, but as a goddess. She’s pure and she doesn’t even know it and that’s what makes Seymour to respect her. Sybil is innocent, but still she’s much smarter than kids her age. When Seymour tells her about Bananafish, at…
