In chapter 5 of The Blue Sweater, which was written by Jacqueline Novogratz, Jacqueline was a good listener who drew my attention. Novogratz explains that the only way to create a good business was to listen to the people who work with you.

In 1973, Clifford Geertz- an American anthropologist- authored The Interpretation of Cultures, in which he defines culture as a context that behaviors and processes can be described from. His work, particularly this one, has come to be fundamental in the anthropological field, especially for symbolic anthropology-study of the role of symbols in a society- and an understanding of “thick description”-human behavior described such that it has meaning to an outsider of the community it originated.

In the novel Belle, by Beverly Jenkins, it’s very interesting because it gives the readers the first point view of a sixteen year old girl who escaped slavery in Kentucky and travels to Michigan on the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. Belle Palmer is the name of the main character of the story, and her story is how she is trying to find her missing father while trying to figure out her feeling for the handsome and intelligent Daniel Best, who is engaged but isn’t sure if he’s in love his betrothed or not. In my opinion this book is good, but it’s lacking the the development of a teen romance and how they feel towards each other, while dodging the obstacle of Daniel’s parents as well as his cheating betrothed finding out. For the character

While approaching Charles, Joan gained confidence and started being imperious, meaning that she was speculating so much power without having any confirmation that she was right. Dunois and Joan are arguing because they had different plans on where the troops should be and who they should follow in order to succeed (Shaw 91). The following demonstrates how Joan did not have background knowledge of how troops were supposed to attack, whereas Dunois is an experienced individual who has been in war before. Given Joan’s stubborn characteristic, it reveals that she is a rather “cocky” individual, much related to how she is on page 113 where Charles says “Yes: she thinks she knows better than everyone else;” and Joan rebuts with “[distressed, but
