The three time Olympic athlete and inductee of the National Track and Field Hall of Fame, Gail Devers, once expressed, “Sometimes we fall, sometimes we stumble, but we can’t stay down. We can’t allow life to beat us down. Everything happens for a reason, and builds character in us, and it tells us what we are about and how strong we really are when we didn’t think we could be that strong.” In Laura Hillenbrand’s nonfiction book Unbroken, Louie Zamperini conveyed Devers’ words when, through even his darkest hours, he remained invariably perseverant, while withstanding the utmost, cruelest predicaments.
The American religious leader and author Thomas Monson once said, “Good timber does not come with ease. The stronger the wind, the stronger the trees”.

One of the recurring themes of Anne Fadiman’s novel The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down is the cultural unawareness that is present, not only the American perspective, but the Hmong perspective as well. This is evident in the recountment of a Hmong American that returns to visit Ban Vinai, a refugee camp in Thailand, after establishing herself in the United States. Most of the book is written with a focus on the Western doctors lacking understanding of Hmong language, customs and culture which in turn made it difficult for them to treat patients such as Lia. They struggled to explain procedures, while practical to them, appeared harmful and life-threating to the Hmong.

The author Laura Hillenbrand is an American author that wrote two best selling books Seabiscuit- An American Legend and Unbroken, the novel that I am reporting on.

Entry 5 (page 81-100) After being put under greater parental control, Melinda, alone in her room, decides to “open up a paper clip and scratch it across the inside of [her] left wrist” (87).

Anderson makes it clear that suicide is not a solution rather a cowardly way to escape reality. The author’s stance is clearly against suicide and she persuades her readers to hold the same position as well.
The way that history is understood can change with a shift of perspective. The settler mentality in Canada has had an impact on the history of Indigenous people. According to Jennifer Hardwick's article Dismantling Narratives: Settler Ignorance, Indigenous Literature, and the Development of a Decolonizing Discourse, settler ignorance has an impact on the historical education of high school students in Ontario, and Canadians must unlearn what they already believe they know about Indigenous history to properly understand it. In her review of how students in Ontario are taught about Indigenous history, Hardwick demonstrates the flaws in the current system. In addition, Hardwick looks at the kinds of Indigenous literature that some students might
Alvarez’s attitude changes during the story by not liking the new name and new city but after a while when I kept reading the story it seems she loves everything else about it. In the beginning of the story, it says “By the time I was in high school, I was a popular kid, and it showed in my name. Friends called me Jules or Hey Jude, and once a group of trouble making friends.” This shows that her attitude in the beginning of the story she hated her name and was wishing that she had a name like the cool kids. Then at the end of the story her attitude changes.
Friendship is one of the main themes in The Counselors by Jessica Goodman. In chapter one, Goldie says, “If anything can heal me, it’s a summer at Camp Alpine Lake with Ava and Imogen, who have been my best friends for a decade” (Goodman 4). This is similar to how Lylah and I have been best friends since we were four years old, which Lylah verified when she was questioned. “Sonya: We’ve known each other since we were 4 and in Pre-K, right? Lylah: Yes.”
