Lot Of Problems Reading The Book
978 words1. I really enjoyed reading the book. I liked the way it was written pretty much. Charlie's letters are as intimate as a diary as he shares his day-to-day thoughts and feelings. You can somehow really get to know the narrator - Charlie - and you feel like he is writing all these letters to you. That is very interesting. Yet there are somewhat unrealistic tones, which I noticed some time after reading the book, because my first impression was how incredibly realistic it was. Charlie is only portr...

San Francisco Bay Francisco Bay Area
821 wordsThe primary responsibility of any elected official is to operate in accordance with his or her constituency. They are thus obligated to do so, an obligation that at times forces the individual to act courageously, against outside pressures, to accomplish this task.

Hate Crimes James Byrd
967 wordsHate crimes are toxic in our community and everywhere. There are numerous instances of verbal, physical, and emotional abuse each year.

Rose For Emily Homer Barron
1,626 words... Faulkner had never attached any importance to the character of manservant and, in all probability, it simply never occurred to him that anyone would be asking questions, regarding the issue. Don't let us forget that Faulkner himself came from the family of wealthy Southern landowners, whose predecessors owned slaves. Therefore, it would be rather naive to think that Faulkner had a progressive attitude towards the Black people. It is a common mistake of critics-beginners: they automatically a...
