I hope you had a nice, relaxing summer. This summer, I read The Boys in the Boat, and i enjoyed the author’s details about The Great Depression. As I was reading, I thought about our US History class and how Daniel James Brown’s description of Hoovervilles (hoovervilles are the main ideas in the first few chapters) related to our classes discussions about the great depression.

His body was discovered at about 11pm by his roommate Peter Gellos who was a friend of Edwards and who was also competing in the 800 meter dash.

Hello! I hope you had an enjoyable and relaxing summer. This summer I read The Boys in The Boat, and I liked it very much. I especially loved how the author used George Pocock’s quotes at the very start of each chapter and how thoroughly the author was in writing this book. I also loved how he incorporated important events happening in Germany throughout his chapters as well. Overall, I found the book to be packed with lots of information and facts, so I had ended up taking a long time to finish the book. However, as I was reading, I thought of my band class that I took during freshman year and how Daniel James Brown’s description of determination, teamwork, and unity is related to our class’s discussion about being successful as a band.

In 1932, Jesse failed to earn a spot on the United States Olympic track team (“U.S.” 1). This did not let Jesse ruin his dream of becoming a Olympic runner. In 1936, he tried out for the Olympics again and made the team, while placing first in the three events he tried out for (“U.S.” 1). Jesse Owens was on his way to the Berlin Olympics in 1936. In his long jump competition, Owens earned a gold medal (Bennett 3). After the jump was completed, the German competition, Lutz Long, gave him a big hug, “one blond and German, the other black and African,” defying racial boundaries (Bennett 3). During this amazing moment 100,000 Germans were chanting “Yes-Say OV-ENS!” (Bennett 1). In Berlin, Jesse won medals in the long jump, 100 meter dash, 200 meter race, and the 400 meter relay (“U.S.”

“The Swimmer,” a short fiction by John Cheever, presents a theme to the reader about the unavoidable changes of life. The story focuses on the round character by the name of Neddy Merrill who is in extreme denial about the reality of his life. He has lost his youth, wealth, and family yet only at the end of the story does he develop the most by experiencing a glimpse of realization on all that he has indeed lost. In the short story “The Swimmer,” John Cheever uses point of view, setting and symbolism to show the value of true relationships and the moments of life that are taken for granted.

Joe Starks is an admirable person. He promises Janie beautiful material things and happiness unlike Logan who only tried to control her and offered her no love. Janie is overwhelmed by this proposal and believes that Joe may be the bee that has come to fertilize her and make her happy, but she is proven wrong. After she runs away from Logan, Joe and Janie travel to a new town that is only occupied by African Americans. There, Joe becomes mayor and is well respected by all.

She is not permitted to voice her own opinions or join in the lighthearted gossiping which occurs outside of their store. Janie is expected to be the dutiful wife. If she makes a mistake, then she should have known better and therefore should accept her punishment quietly. Joe holds the obvious upper hand in the relationship until his death whereupon Janie inherits a large amount of money and learns to enjoy the freedom of living as her own person.
