The book I am currently reading is called A Separate Peace written by American novelist John Knowles. In the recent chapters I’ve read it talks about how Finny who is Gene’s roommate and “best friend” has left Devon’s School because he had a very bad “accident”. Finny had fallen from the “The tree”, which I've previously mentioned in my first reflection. “The Tree” is where all of Gene’s feelings such as fear, jealousy,and hatred arouse for his “best friend” Finny, because that's where he realized that Finny was more athletic and somehow always considered “better” than Gene.

In the movie, one of the supporting character, Officer Tom Hanson, is portrayed as someone who is aware of the racism happening in his society but because he is surrounded by a lot of social stereotypes, he ultimately becomes racist, in a sense that he did not trust a man in his car because of the color of his skin. Rewinding back to the scene, Officer Hanson offered to give a ride to an African American man on the street to a nearby city, in the car Officer Hanson acted serene and cool around the man making the viewers think that he believes in equality and justice for all, but when the African American man laughed at the Statue of Liberty replica in the car, Officer Hanson became hesitant and asks him to leave his car kindly, when he refuses and insists that he is sorry for messing around, Hanson ignores the apology and continues asking him to leave.

Public service can be an excellent way to help out your community and maybe even teach a few skills, but can it provide valuable life lessons and help prepare college students for their life to come? In the essay Serve or Fail by Dave Eggers, the matter of public service being required for college students is discussed. Eggers makes it clear that he supports the claim that college students should be required to perform these services. However, with the factors of everyday college life, it is somewhat absurd to require college students to perform community services along with the rest of their schooling.     Eggers starts off his essay saying that “a good deal of the four years of college is spent playing football” and that college is too long with “many hours in the days and weeks that need killing”.

Throughout the history of mankind there has always been war. Nations have always had disagreements with one another and the result is the death of many young soldiers. Although many men die in war, not as many men die if the war was fought to win and not only to stop the enemy. However, the wars that have not been fought to win, but only to stop a force, have had much greater a loss than those fought to win.

Although the Korean War was fought to protect the defenseless people, the casualties and other catastrophes that were brought upon the United States soldiers
