For my critical book analysis, I chose the book “Never Panic Early” by Fred Haise and Bill Moore. The book was centered around the Apollo 13 launch that took place in the year 1970. The author’s purpose was to retell the story from his perspective as an astronaut, from the actual launch.

What Kushner is saying is that identity that has been shaped by social norms and religious beliefs and similar strict rules, needs a reform. People are not meant to live under some norms imposed by people who don’t know them and who do not allow them to express themselves.
