Recommend This Book Part Of The Book
678 wordsI read the book, Go Ask Alice. The author was anonymous. The main character was a girl, and her name was not mentioned. It was written as a diary. I thought that this book was very interesting because it was true; it is based on an actual diary of a fifteen-year-old drug user. In the beginning, she has a break up with her boyfriend and is anorexic. She eats very little. She overcomes that obstacle though. The girl moves because her father gets a job at a university as a professor. She moves with...

Number Of Missions Colonel Cathcart
1,308 wordsThe name of the novel I read is Catch- 22 by Joseph Heller. This novels uniqueness makes it hard to classify but I would classify it as an anti-war novel. The main theme of the novel is one of hope and freedom from the barbaric grasp of war. Heller uses World War II as an almost invisible framework in which he places a number of vaguely related stories presented in no particular chronological order, although the final narrative does tie them all together. Catch- 22 was written in a very comical ...

Mad Dog Marine Corps
1,858 wordsI place my boot on the neck of this commie bone bag, the toe resting on his chin. I think, I hate this wet heat he breathes. At least there is no rain in it -- for now.

"Slats, you and Mad-dog planning to marry that commie better, " Luke hissed at me.

856 wordsCartography is described by Webster's as the art of making maps, but how is it done? A cartographer doesn't just sit down and draw a map free hand.

Power originates in the individual; authority originates in the charter of the organization. Thus, there is no such thing as "position power. " Power can be exerted anywhere, whereas authority is limited by position. (I can tell my team member what to do, but I cannot tell your team member what to do. ) Finally, a...

Death And Rebirth Oxford Dictionary
1,284 wordsT. S. Eliot s Journey of the Magi This Christmas poem is about the Epiphany and was created the very year of Eliot s conversion to Christianity (Fleisner, 66). Therefore the theme of religion is an important one if we are to analyse the poem correctly. In the book of Ephesians in the Bible, Paul describes the rebirth of the world upon Christ s death, emphasising the Ephesians new life (2: 4 - 5). This theme of death and rebirth is present in the poem Journey of the Magi, which, I will argue, is ...
