Book Summary: The Kill Order By James Dashner

The protagonist is a 16 year old girl named Rachel. I think Rachel is one of those shy girls that don't like to talk to anybody like her crush Steve Millar and his mean sister Brianna. And thus all happens when Rachel sees Steve and the drama comes in.

In terms of considering why the Southern Confederacy lost the Civil War, Grady McWhiney and Perry Jamieson have published an interestingly well-researched book that offers a fresh, new interpretation for southern defeat. In Attack and Die, McWhiney and Jamieson submit that the foremost reason for southern defeat came from an aggressive southern heritage that was steeped in a culture taken from their ancestors, the Celts. McWhiney and Jamieson offer another, more salient reason why the Confederacy lost the Civil War. Because “Southerners were imprisoned in a culture that rejected careful calculation and patience, often refusing to learn from their mistakes,” the real reason the Confederates lost was because the offensive warfare that was so foundational to Confederate wartime strategy, also known as the Celtic charge,

The author then describes the speed and how the brush fires work. Then she moves into her message about how people should not build in the chaparral zone as there is a chance of it being burned down by the brush

Over the past week, I have been indulged in a book over one of the most approved presidents of all time. The book, Killing Kennedy, was written by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard. The book was published on October 2, 2012 and was later adapted into a film in 2013. The book consist of the history that leads up to the brutal assassination of John F. Kennedy. As well as, detailing the life of Lee Harvey Oswald prior to that fateful day. It also details how those gunshots changed a nation and ultimately brought an end to “camelot”.

John F. Kennedy is one of the most widely respected presidents in American history, with a plethora of books and movies about him. One such book, probably the most popular, is Killing Kennedy by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard. Killing Kennedy is a novel describing the life and presidential term of John Kennedy and his family while in office. The book also follows the brief history of Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who assassinated JFK, describing his past and the actions that could have prompted him to become an assassin. O’Reilly and Dugard have as unbiased a view as they can possibly get, telling the reader the whole truth about John F. Kennedy, good or bad. The reader gets the whole view of JFK, instead of the sugarcoated image the media has presented of him and his term as president. They portray JFK as the man he is. He was not a good husband, as unfaithful as he was. John F. Kennedy was a great president, there’s no doubt about that. But as a man, he is ruled by his libido, and controlled by his bodily urges.

' ' 'James Stephen Smith ' ' ' was a schizophrenic defense attorney and who thought women were the “the tools of his enemies” through a an old story in the Bible called the wife of Heber.

Plot is defined as, "the authors arrangement of incidents in a story it is the organizing principle that controls the controls the order of events (Meyer,64)." The element of plot is heavily relied on in the short story, "The Killings" by Andre Dubus. The plot which is completely made inside the imagination of an author (Meyer,64), gives the audience important insight to people, places, and events in the story (Meyer,64) . "The Killings" provides a somewhat conventional plot pattern, where the character is confronted with a problem and is then led into a climax, which late leads to the resolution of the story (Meyer,65). The conventional plot is easy to follow and serves as a basis for movies and other

A Review and Commentary On:A Time to Kill By John GrishamA Time to Kill written by John Grisham is a book that presents the high racial tensions in Canton Mississippi in the early 1990 's. The book opens with two young men, James Lewis Willard and Billy Ray Cobb, joy riding in their brand new yellow pick up truck decked out with Confederate flags. They speed though black neighborhoods throwing full beer bottles at people and houses, until they come across ten-year-old Tonya Hailey walking home from the grocery store. The men pull over, trap her, rape her repeatedly, beat her, hang her, throw her off a bridge and leave her for dead. Her siblings find Tonya later that day, barely alive, her father, Carl Lee Hailey., and the black community

My opinion, of the killing of the kangaroo, is that it is a cruel act. Animals, just like humans, have a nervous system which allows them to feel pain. Would you want to be shot just for someone else’s pleasure? Also, would you want your murderer to be praised for killing you? No, I didn't think so. The way that hunting of animals is considered fun disgusts me – it really does! This "sport" that people call hunting is a dangerous thing not only to the animal but to the hunters as well. Here, in my essay, I’ll be taking quotes from the short story First Kill by Alan Marshall.

“Killings” is a short story written by Andre Dubus. This story is in third person point of view. According to Paul Gray, Dubus’ characters “remain able to "make the best of [things], even when the best is not very good.” (“Sidelights” par. 1). The article “Andre Dubus” mentions that his characters “worked, married, and raised families, but did not find fulfillment. Sometimes their frustration goads them to infidelity or acts of violence; more often, however, they simply become resigned to their lot.” (Par 4). The protagonist for “Killings” is Matt Fowler, his son had just been murdered by Richard Strout and he faces internal conflicts that lead to killing him. Applying a Psychological Criticism, Matt’s conflicts and actions can be analyzed

No book has captivated the zombie apocalypse better than World War Z. Max Brooks creatively presents “a worldwide zombie pandemic from outbreak to aftermath” (Boyd, Tristan). His book encompasses many social and political themes in the world today. The book

Just as everyone thought the fire was dying down and would no longer spread, the wind picked up, and the fire spread, causing it to head farther northward. Then, something terrible happened. Fire Devils. Fire Devils are whirls of air which send burning wood and such things flying through the air, and in this case, across a river. Not good.

By using sight as a sense, fire has risen in the middle of the story. Specifically, the meaning of fire itself, is something being burned, or is going to be burned. In the same way, fire also spreads drastically everywhere. As it states in the book, “He saw a red light before him, as when the felled trunks and branches of a
