Hugh Glass's The Revenant

253 Words2 Pages
The Revenant is a story based on the historical life of Hugh Glass, his journey of survival and revenge. Set in the 1820s, Hugh Glass a fur trapper on the Missouri river is attacked by a gruesome bear, suffering many injuries appearing to be life ending. With his throat slashed, scalp torn, and, arms and legs mangled, Glass suffered on the brink of death. Abandoned, left for dead, and stolen from by his companions Glass is forced to rely on himself in order to survive. In my opinion this book was slow and boring with very few things I can relate to. Most of the story didn't have the wow factor that you get while reading other books. The story being set mostly in 1823-1824 was hard to connect to and was poorly developed by the author. One

I would highly suggest reading this book since it will make you realize that society isn’t always good. It will make you truly think of how Society was in that time period. It really influences you and let’s you know higher and better vocabulary. This book is confusing to read but overall it’s a good book. If you really like high-level reading then you should go for this book definitely.

The Summer Of 1787 By David O Stewart Sparknotes

1497 Words | 6 Pages

This is the only novel I have read which covers a topic from hundreds of years ago, let alone a historical topic. I have never followed the gears and machinery behind politics. The novel presents an opportunity to appreciate the events that lead to decision making in the government. Reading The Summer of 1787 and watching the TV show House of Cards show very different sides to government. I have a newfound interest in understanding and observing the government more closely.

Voices From The Civil War Summary

The only thing I didn 't like about the book was how it was written. I think it would be way better if it was written as a story in 1st person about there life and not how it was written. The book didn 't really make me think differently about things because I know what I think about slavery and no one can change my mind

Octavian Nothing Book Analysis

947 Words | 4 Pages

The book had several weaknesses which could be off putting for some individuals; the world outside Octavian’s is shown in little fragments thrown to and fro, the beginning starts slow and is rather dry, certain areas in the book can become confusing to readers, and Octavian’s character is viewed from dozens of letters written by a soldier rather than from Octavian himself, effectively avoiding what he may be experiencing. The book does have various strengths which will appeal to several groups of people; a convincing narrative about the life of a black slave not on a plantation, the experiments which actually happened, showing life in the 1770s in most of its entirety, the racial superiority taking place in subtle ways to show accuracy within the time period, those who are empathetic, and moral implications of what Octavian went through. Even if the reader isn’t a historian they will be able to appreciate the book for what it is, A historical fiction retelling of an age that dictated the course of history as a

The Night She Disappeared: Summary

1044 Words | 5 Pages

Although I did get confused while reading the book a few times, I think most individuals would enjoy it. I read this book all in one day, as it was a type of book that is super hard to stop reading after you start it. I wouldn’t recommend starting this book, if the reader doesn’t have time to read a majority of the book in one sitting. I believe a busy person would get too confused and lost in the book, since they wouldn’t have time to sit down and read the whole book. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone under the age of fourteen, as it can be very sad at times.

Johnny Tremain Thesis

To some people it is not. Some teachers say that the book is challenging for students. Now, this novel may be difficult for students, but that is how students learn new information. If students weren’t to have read harder pieces of literature all throughout their schooling career, they would stay at the same level of reading for most of their life. The reason why students should read more challenging novels are because they learn new things, and they could also learn how to act in a certain situation based on the type of challenging story they read.

The Selection Quotes

973 Words | 4 Pages

Although, some parts kept me insanely hooked, most of the novel was very plain. First off, the whole plot was very basic; practically a rip-off version of The Bachelor but set in a castle. The main idea of the novel had been done many times, and in this novel the execution was not professional either, so it was not an enjoyable read. Second, the world building was not there at all. I could never truly visualize their country and surroundings, as Cass never went in-depth and incorporated any details.

The White Bone Analysis

985 Words | 4 Pages

It was slightly confusing at times, and the plot would be somewhat boring at times. Most of the characters were developed well, but some characters were confusing and seemed all over the place. The conflict, however, was very true to life, as elephant poachers do exist, and it’s apparent that the author did her research. The ending was quite bittersweet, as Date Bed had died by the time the family found her, and makes the reader unsure whether the elephants did end up making it to the Safe Place after all. There is also a lot of in-depth analysis required to fully understand the book, else the reader may get quite lost in the plot.

Octavia Butler's Wild Seed

For me, the book went by relatively quick. For readers who enjoyed the book, there is good news due to the book being a part of a series. Meaning that the fun does not have to end at just Wild Seed. Some of the themes within may only affect women or men such as gendered identities or people of color such as colonialism or race, but it is a read that can educate many. The book should be read and analyzed
