As with all of John Locke's books it's one that I have trouble putting down - the thrills and chills keep you turning the pages.

Recently, I had the pleasure of reading the book Ella Minnow Pea. At first reading I didn't expect much out of it. I thought it wouldn't be interesting. I was wrong while reading this book, I endured many great things. I learned the importance of language.

The world is filled with over eight billion people and counting. The world’s population runs in groups that are more so segregated then it should be.

This book helped deepen my understanding of human biology in a handful of ways. I have never really learned

After reading both of these books, I can admit that they may have placed a lasting impact on my life.

My experience when reading this book was pretty astonishing based on what Barbara Ehrenreich went through as she was in different places

Lois Duncan was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on April 28, 1934. She was raised in Sarasota, Florida. Her parents were famous photographers, Lois Duncan and Joseph Jenney Steinmetz. She became interested in writing at a very young age. She started putting her own articles into magazines at the age 10 then she wrote her first story at the age 13. When Lois got a little older, she started to attend Duke University. She soon dropped out to get married and start a family, but her writing never stopped. Lois is now known for her children books with much suspense in them. Sadly, her marriage ended in a divorce. She moved to New Mexico to become a teacher of journalism. Then she married her second husband, Don Arquette, in 1965. From both marriages, she had 5 kids. One of her books was based on the murder of her youngest daughter, Kaitlyn Arquette.

The title of the book I read is Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. The author, Rudyard Kipling, wrote this book in 1894. It was illustrated and adapted by Jerry Pinkneyand Lambert Davis. This setting took place at the family's home. Most of the characters are imagined, such as Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Nag, and Nagaina. This story is an example of fiction, because the animals in the story can talk.

Timeline is a third person science-fiction novel touching on the implications and consequences of time travel. The book has a unique form in which it switches the focus on different characters throughout the book. For example, the book starts off with an old couple saying “‘Liz, he said, ‘are you sure this is the way?” and then moving to a CEO of the most profitable company explaining quantum mechanics. The main characters are Andre Marek, a graduate student who is fascinated by the medieval era, Kate Erickson, an architectural historian, and Chris Hughes, a shy but smart graduate student who gets the group in loads of trouble at times.

I forgot about the books I had hidden. Every day, I did my homework mechanically. I went to bed on time. Then, I read every book I had left three times or more. I memorized “The Hollow Men” before I knew what it meant. I can still recite the biography of Florence Griffith Joyner. I still know every short story written and illustrated by Joni Eareckson Tada.

I have always been afraid of math, but the professor in this book did help me overcome this problem. Different from the previous two books that we read before. This book is completely different, it is neither mysterious, nor complex, but it is the most touching one. It keeps telling us that there do exist goodness and humanity in this dog eat dog world.
