Truth about Truman book review Summary The book The truth about Truman is about a girl named lily getting cyberbullied. It all starts off when two friends Zebby and Amr make a website about their school The Truth about Truman. On this website people are able to post anything they want as long as it is true. Someone has created an account and is posting mean things about lily on the truth about truman website, this person goes by MilkandHoney. Milk and Honey’s first post about lily is an old picture of her in elementary when she was fat. Lily and everyone else see’s the picture and now everyone is making fun of her. MilkandHoney starts posting more stuff and that’s not true but everyone else believes it. This causes lily to ditch school …show more content…

I would like to be zebby because she is the one who found lily and she is nice and she doesn't care what other people think about her or her friends. But then i would also like to be amr because he knows alot about computers and he knows how to set up websites. Literary Allusion This story “The Truth about Truman” doesnt remind me of any movie or book. But it does remind me of something that would happen in real life. For example, people at school call eachother names and make them feel bad. Or they say things that are not true about the person, and the people who are getting bullied get made and tend to do stuff that will hurt other people. Evaluation I like the story it's like real life cause this actually happens and it also has a lot of emotions. But i think the author could of ended the story with more information. For example, like did lily really move schools did all the kids know if it was trevor who was milkandhoney or do they still make fun of lily. There is a lot of things to explain so that way the end of the story does not seem so

The Cold War was an icy rivalry that developed between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II. This rivalry first developed because the two conflicting nations had different ideas of successful economies. The United States believed that capitalism, in which private owners control trade and industry was more efficient than Communism, in which the state or government control trade and industry. In addition, many of the events that occurred at The Yalta Conference played a significant role in the cause of this era of competition that lasted from 1947 to 1991. At Yalta, Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin agreed that Poland’s government would include members of the pre-war Polish government and that free elections would be held

Many contemporary authors attempt with varying amounts of success to emulate the captivating style of Truman Capote. Through a complex and fine balance between bleak melodrama and noir suspense, Capote’s voice is particularly well captured in his 1966 crime fiction, In Cold Blood. Within the first 5 paragraphs of the work, Truman Capote firmly establishes a notable distaste yet careful curiosity for Holcomb, Kansas - the novel’s primary setting - by utilizing an apathetically negative tone and long-winded syntax sprinkled with vivid imagery of the town’s worst features. Capote’s primary strategy for conveying his point of view on the town is his detached yet empirically negative tone. He displays a lack of attachment for the town, reporting

Is the most powerful man in the world defined by the amount of money he possesses, or the amount of authority he holds? In the case of the United States president, does he have the fortune or command to make decisions that not only impact our nation, but the whole world?

Funny how history works, FDR and Truman were the right Presidents at the right time. FDR introduced the greatest amount of domestic liberal economic legislation as part of his New Deal domestic program. Measures like the Conservation Corps (CCC), Works Progress Administration (WPA) and Tennessee Valley Authority employing over 8.5 million people and the cost of $10 Billion (Burran 2008). Although Hamby’s Liberalism and Its Challengers clarifies that new Deal failed to establish a variety of socialistic ideas and resolve all the problems, the credit is given for at least smoothing out some difficult times (Hamby 1992, 50). This tame depiction of becoming the model of modern economic liberalization that remains today then is followed by President
