In the essay "At Risk" by Jourdan Imani Keith, I can see many things in it. It is really interesting when you can see about “At Risk” in her essay. It appears in every part of the essay. In a first paragraph, the writer wrote about a really dangerous time “the heaviest storms”, we still have some people are working like in the essay. “For seventeen days, the teenagers I recruited to build trails for the North Cascades National Parkare camping during one of the heaviest storms in a hundred years.”
In her book, The Worst Years of Our Lives, Barbara Ehrenreich asserts that “modern people, i.e., couch potatoes, do nothing that is ever shown on television” (22-24). That is an audacious statement. Is it reasonable to assume that anyone who watches television is indolent and does nothing with their life? Of course not. While anything in excess in not healthy, categorizing all modern people as "couch potatoes" is a harsh generalization that weakens Ehrenreich 's argument.
The book has many characters with very different personalities. The book has unexpected twists and turns throughout it.

In Roxane Gay’s essay “The Illusion of Safety/The Safety of Illusion”, the argument being made here is in part the usefulness of trigger warnings, as well as the idea that everyone has a situation that is unique to them and that we need to avoid putting everyone in the same box.

Gay proves this effectively by immediately listing her triggers using a unique technique. Every sentence begins using the same word.

The book I have chosen to review is Boy 21, a fictional read that is written by Matthew Quick. Quick is a New York Times best-selling author debuting in novels such as The Silver Linings Playbook and Love May Fail. To best describe this book, it is a captivating read that is comforting for the mind, as it canvasses the raw and unflinching life of a high school senior who displays love for basketball and life relationships. Furthermore, set in a troubled Belmont city of Philadelphia, Quick incorporates the presence of mobs and violence which is captivating towards the reader and audience. I was intrigued about how the novel was written through Finley the main protagonist, which was Quick’s childhood perspective of life in Philadelphia and his passion towards basketball.
