Throughout his journey,
I choose to do my report on Margaret Graner because she seemed like a brave woman. She made a brave and dangerous escape to freedom with her family. Margaret wanted what was best for her children, even if that meant killing them. All she ever wanted for her children was for them to never suffer the life of a slave. Margaret was an African-American in pre-Civil War, born into the life of slavery in Boone County, Kentucky on the Plantation of John Pollard Gaines on June fourth 1833.
In the story Among the Hidden, written by Margaret Peterson, the main characters are Luke and Jen. The setting in the story takes place in the future but at both Luke and Jen’s houses. Luke is a third child which means he can’t be seen by anyone but his family. If he is seen by anyone else then he will be killed by the population police. But, when Luke sees someone in the neighbor's window, he sees that they are not one of the neighbor’s kids.
After this he felt he didn't have much left and choose to make his way to

He explains what makes your life meaningful, how different people are to have a different sense about how they think their life should be lived. Robert also explains what is happiness, that happiness is only a feeling you can only be happy for a short amount of time before your unhappy again. Robert communicated what he was trying to say very well. As humans we get so used to having are schedules, routines we tend to forget why we are doing what we 're doing we forget the reason why we are going to school, have family gatherings.
He realizes how smart Robert is, and he keeps being shocked as the night goes on. While listening to a show about Cathedrals, Robert asks the narrator to describe him a Cathedral. The narrator tries his hardest, but can not do it. To combat this, Robert takes the narrator's hand and has him close his eyes and together they draw the church just from memory. After drawing the Cathedrals, the narrator describes the picture as, “ It’s really something” (103).He learns how seeing is not everything in life, and how wrong he was with his assumptions about Robert.
Robert fights with himself to survive and realizes that he must push forward, away from his past and drinking. But by doing this, Robert begins to lose his humanity and faces the harsh realities of his world. Matheson's writing challenges the reader to think about what and how they would change if they were in the same situation as
At that moment, he is able to realize that what he thought to be the only reality was really a copy of the real reality. Again he assumes that the statues and the fire are the most real things out there; completely unaware that there are other things more "real" beyond his cave. However, when the prisoner is dragged out of the cave into the real world he finally understands and learns that there are other things out there that he has not seen yet that makes up the world and reality. He is finally enlightened by the knowledge he received by observing his surroundings beyond his

And Then I Met Margaret by Robert White was hands-down one of the worst books I’ve ever read, and I’ve read a lot of bad books. Rating this book 1 out of 4 stars is frankly being generous. From the first sentence to the last sentence, I struggled to find anything I could relate to, and I don’t know if anyone could really relate to him, and he’s a white man. Basically, this book is about a man who was poor from a small blue-collar town, then he went to college and had to work hard, then he became a teacher, then a real-estate person, then he started restaurants. The entire premise of the book, almost 200 pages, can be summarized like this:
The narrator begins to change as Robert taught him to see beyond the surface of looking. The narrator feels enlightened and opens up to a new world of vision and imagination. This brief experience has a long lasting effect on the narrator. Being able to shut out everything around us allows an individual the ability to become focused on their relationships, intrapersonal well-being, and
