The author of this book is Ellen Raskin. This book to me was very attention grabbing. This is since the author made the book have many moments that would make you wanna find out what happen next in the book. This book was about many characters. The main thing about this is that they live inside the Sunset Towers. All of these people are heirs. Mr. Hoo lived there and he was important since he owned a restaurant on the fifth floor.

Everybody changes throughout life, either it from being around certain people, having people persuade you into doing something, or by seeing a certain event happen. Everyone goes through a type of change that can make a big difference in their life. I argue that people in the play “Witness” by Karen Hesse can change from being around others because Sara Chickering changed from being around the Hirsh’s, Viola ended up joining the KKK because of her husband pressuring her to, and Merlin by seeing Leanora saving Ester.

In every story, there are many things to analyze. In “Game” by Donald Barthelme, he shows us the way our minds start to work in stressful situations like how the narrator and Shotwell started to respond while controlling the console for the war. In “Game” the narrator’s name is never told, Shotwell and the narrator do not trust each other, but are left alone together and trusted to kill the other if they start to “behave strangely,” although it is never clarified what counts as strange and what counts as normal.

This connects to my life because Turtle is very nice like my two little sisters.

After reading The Dangerous Game excerpt in the textbook and viewing the motion picture of the story, I came to the conclusion that the story is better than the movie. I say this because the book version of the story did a great job at build up suspense and not straying from the plot of the story.

The cry was pinched of was pinched off short as the blood-warm waters of the Caribbean sea closed over his head.” Descriptions like the previous statement allow the readers to come

Can someone who seems selfish change for the better? Jane Austen says they can. In her novel Emma, she describes the social and romantic ventures of the titular heroine. Full of entertaining misunderstandings, the story can be passed off as a simple romantic comedy, and yet a complex and dynamic character can be found in the main protagonist, Emma Woodhouse.
