From the beginning few pages of Rogers’ The Press Gang, the thesis and theme of the book is made abundantly clear; coerced, forceful, and even violent impressment of ordinary British male citizens for the service of the British Navy in Great Britain during the 18th century and 19th century was a very real challenge to every day life. In fact, according to Rogers “the rough way in which press gangs recruited for the Royal Navy has long been commemorated in print and ballad, supplemented in the press by often harrowing accounts of the affrays that ensued” (Rogers, p. 17.) It is clear to see that the cultural and societal ramifications as well as national opinion of impressment are what The Press Gang aims to explain throughout the book. Opening

Myths About Gangs Kayla Chase The first myth is that if we solely rely on law enforcement it will wipe out gangs. It is believed that law enforcement can turn gangs away at the city or county borders. It is also believed that law enforcement can remove all of them from the area by arrest, prosecution and confinement. This concept is call gang suppression.

Laws are used and developed in order to provide guidelines, establish authority and to maintain a sense of orderliness in society.

Additionally, the natural

A couple pages in the novel, it says “And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” (p. 4) This shows how spring symbolizes a new beginning where it is the renewal of Earth, welcoming summer.

“Secret of the Wild Child” is about the experiences and development of a child that was in solitary confinement for thirteen years. Genie was the name they pinned on the child due to the similarities of being kept in isolation, then suddenly brought out to human society. During the first few months of life, children need to be exposed to other humans who will care and love for them because this creates a set of ideas and attitudes about who they are as independent beings (Brym et al. 2015,96).
