I found Sherman Alexie 's "Breaking and Entering" to be very interesting; a different look on the situation. All I 've ever hear in this type of siuations is the point of view of the victom. You alwasy here from the side that had the most dentrimental effect on the family. Just like Shermans story if the person breaking into his house was an older black or white person the outcome would have been tramedously different. Every day you hear the news talking about how another person has killed an inncoent young black person or how horrible the killer is even when nothing is known about the tradigy.

The book I chose to read was “The Glass Castle” by Jeanette Walls. “The Glass Castle” was memorable because it gave me an idea about the diversity of each person. The story was told through the perspective of a young girl who does not understand right from wrong because she believes what her father tells her. I think this book is popular because it expressed ideas that are typically thought of as wrong or ideas that many turn away from. The author included outstanding imagery that puts the reader into the shoes of the main character.

Fifth Favorite Essay out of Top Five “Everglades’ Change in Environment” made my top five because I had many different types of information on the Everglades and I supported each reason by using explicit textual evidence. Although my conclusion was only a couple of sentences, I think that it summed up the whole essay perfectly.

Anthony Farren had the indisputably best written essay. For one, his sentences flowed well and felt authentic. Dauth and Camacho, however, were so formulaic and robotic, it ended up flowing about as well as a clogged sewer. Beyond that, he actually took time and effort to sand down any blaring mistakes, while the others were absolutely riddled with nonsensical grammar errors and oversights. Anthony clearly put way more effort into sentence structure than the others, who aired way too far on the side of caution and ended up instilling nothing but an overwhelming feeling of crushing ennui.
Out of all the brief stories they all have a reason as to why they are placed specifically where they are. Certain stories are told as if she were a young child and others are told as if she were an adult. However, they are not written in an arranged fashion they jump from timeline to timeline. The author does this to reflect on her identity, mainly reflecting on her culture containing the topic of food. Though they all have a great amount of importance some stories have more importance than others.
Learning about Simone de Beauvoir and the book that she wrote “The Second Sex” was interesting. Despite what many people said about her work, I thought it was a great way to bring people’s attention, especially white women. Often time’s people are so caught up in their daily lives that they do not realize how things are actually affecting them. I personally thought she was inspiration to many women that did not think that there was anything wrong in the world they lived in.

A Very Short Story Ernest Hemingway is considered one of the most significant fiction writers of the 20th century. He is famous for his specific style of writing, the so called iceberg theory, which is clearly seen in his short stories and novels.
