Gordon Smith wrote the book, Lockdown : Escape From Furnace. I really enjoyed reading this book for a few reasons.

He continually kept me engaged and interested throughout the whole book.
Lockdown by Walter Dean Myers is a novel that will keep you on your toes. Inspiration, courageousness, nervousness, and depression are all the emotions you feel while reading Lockdown.

While reading this book it was quite obvious Walter Dean Myers arranged a lot of research for this novel, it was written very well and full of facts. Hearing stories of gang violence, drug abuse, and shootings is a big wake up call for anyone who interprets this novel it reallys make you realize how grateful you should be for what you have.

He got caught driving her in her father's car, after causing a small accident, but cannot explain the why he was with the girl without getting his friend in trouble.
Gilman also highlights a lack of identity of the narrator through the setting of the novella which reflects the narrator’s societal confinement. The protagonist is surrounded by “hedges and walls and gates that lock”, which create a sense of separation that the narrator feels from others and the outside world. In addition, the room in which she is confined contains a “heavy bedstead, and… barred windows, and then that gate at the head of the stairs, and so on”. These physical and ‘prison-like’ restrictions imposed on the protagonist clearly demonstrate her lack of freedom. Additionally, Gilman’s use of syndetic listing to describe the narrator’s physical entrapment is perhaps reflective of her feelings of suffocation and her inability to escape as the list feels never ending.

Genetics Modification And Engineering (GM, GMO, GE) I genuinely can’t conceive the mind of a person that is against genetically modified foods/food crops. From my point of view it is a great discovery. All organisms have genetic material, including us humans. Today we have the technology start genetically modifying foods or food crops using biotechnology into something that is tastier, drenched in nutrients and healthier.
