My name is Decosta Turner, I’m writing to you because I bought a pair of Nike Jordan’s from your store, Time to Shine Sneakers. When I took them out of the box, they had a very bad odor and they had a hole on the side of one of the sneakers.

When I realized that they had the problems listed above, I put them back in the shoe box and brought them back to the store. On my arrival back to the store, I was met by the sales person who sold me the sneakers.
Connector-The Chrysalids The first connection I can make is a text to world connection.

Whether this is in a historical context or the context of our present lives, literature functions to spread the knowledge and ideas of others. Our generation, including the students that surround me, often take for granted many of the ideas that guide our lifestyles. This could include the importance put on education, or the idea that a democracy is the most appropriate form of government for our society. However, at some point, these ideas needed to be questioned and debated before they became part of present culture.
