Summary Of 'Chapter 6' By Irene Hunt

When the author, Karen Vyverberg, refers to geocentric and anthropocentric she means to understand and look at things in perspective of the earth which has been around for billions of years rather than having the perspective of a human who's only been around for a few hundred thousand years.We see the earth and can better understand our impact and how the earth changes when looking at things from a larger scale.This ability is incredibly beneficial as we can compare the earth from before and after mankind to see how we've affected the our planet.We can connect are actions to problems such as climate change and sea-level rising to our activity as humans.We see increase consumption of fossil fuels which in turn causes more pollutants to be released

Chapters 1–5 introduce an average boy who would become a remarkable man. Born in 1917, Louie Zamperini was the child of Italian immigrants.

Everyone has a favorite holiday. There is Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, the Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then there is everyone’s favorite- Christmas! Christmas comes with the feeling of warmth, of family, and of home. What happens, though, if all one ever knew during Christmas time was completely changed? What happens if home just is not home anymore? Sandra M. Castillo addresses that situation that actually occurred in her own life in her poem, “Christmas, 1970.” Castillo moved from Cuba to the United States in 1970 and as an eight-year old she reveals her true feelings during and about the Christmas season.

Castillo uses devices like symbolism, imagery, and flashback to support her them that no one can return to their childhood home.

The book I read is called All The Answers by Kate Messner. The main character in this book is the curious, yet anxious, Ava Anderson. This book takes place in a few different places in the same, unnamed, small town. They include a school, Ava’s house, a retirement home, and an obstacle course. The part in the story that gets it put in motion is when one morning Ava needs a pencil for a math test. While she is rummaging through the junk drawer and finds a blue pencil. When she gets to school and starts her test, there is a question she is clueless about. She write on her paper, using the blue pencil,” What is the formula for finding the circumference of a circle?”. Then she hears a voice tell her the answer. Later that day she is asking the

2) What does the title of the story suggest about the townspeople’s feelings toward Miss Emily? Why do they feel this way about her? (Or: What does she represent to them?) Is there anything ironic about their feelings?

In the book The Sixth Extinction written by Elizabeth Kolbert there are a lot of examples that are going on in the world today and also examples of things that started when the first human being was around. This book talks about how we are in the sixth mass extinction, and that is caused by humans. Overall the book goes chapter by chapter and talks about the different mass extinctions there have been, and how they were caused, but also the book talks about different species that have gone extinct and the reasons why. For example the book talks about golden frogs that are located in Panama and how they were seen everywhere located in El Valle de Anton, but they suddenly started disappearing. They were disappearing because of a chytrid fungis cause by humans, when humans travel they were bring this fungis to different places, this ended up killing the frogs (Chapter 1, Kolbert). That is just one example, but throughout the book Kolbert talks about different extinctions like this and what caused them.

By the story’s conclusion, the reader can go back through the story and identify many episodes where Miss Emily behavior

In some areas, Cooke’s writing seems a bit accusatory. He asserts, “to argue that such a requirement would have done anything whatsoever to stop recent massacres isn’t just wrong ‒ it’s deeply dishonest. Those who have been chastising Congress for not reacting to massacres by passing legislation…should be ashamed of themselves” (Cooke 6). Towards the end of his article, Cooke begins to criticize Obama for the way he has addressed the issue of gun violence. Cooke even goes so far as to use words such as brazenly, angrily, tantrum, and childish when writing about President Obama’s speech and actions when dealing with the matter. Instead of just condemning others’ views, Gopnik is more assertive in his own. He knows what he believes and he confidently states it.

The book Serena by Ron Rash, Galloway the henchman as he’s known as Serena’s right handed man. As I know right handed person of one’s is someone who one trust and depend most and does not worry about their work since one knows that the right handed person will do it right. This make me understand more because Serena trusted Galloway more than anything and did what he wanted her to do. There was also one time when Galloway “saved by a woman… anything I bid him to do. Anything” (Rash 181). Galloway had some injuries when he was asked what he can do with his one hand.

Geraldine Brooks’ in-class visit and evening reading at the Marvin Center were astonishing. Overall, I enjoyed hearing Brooks’ discussion on writing. She revealed that Hanna Heath was originally supposed to be Bosnian. However, Brooks could not get the voice right. She stated that if you can’t get the voice right, there is no point in writing the story. This is true because a story is not compelling if the voice is not authentic.

Butler’s work majorly discuss problems of race, gender and power relations along with self-determination that she transfers from the human society within communities of the aliens, as well as vampires.
