Book From The Sky Analysis

Nobody fully understands what drives people to undertake a mission, but it often causes people to take many risks. For example, Farah Ahmedi climbed a mountain on a prosthetic leg with a sick mother just to reach freedom. Rikki-Tikki fought for his life to save his family. John Steinbeck eavesdropped on people's conversations just to get material for his book. These stories show different people who had each set a goal for themselves. Ahmedi and Rikki-Tikki fought for their lives to survive and save their loved ones. While Steinbeck traveled to great lengths to write his book. Their goals may be different but they all had set a goal and they all eventually accomplished their goal.

For this book analysis, I read the book A Piece of Cake by Cupcake brown. It is a memoir told by Cupcake about her life. She starts the book at age 11, when she was living a normal and pleasant life with her mother in San Diego. She was quite close to her along with her step father (who, at the time, she thought was her biological father), and her uncle. Then out of nowhere, she finds her mother dead in her room and her life is shaken into disaster. The court system had to turn both her and her brother over to her biological father whom she never met, instead of giving her to the man she was raised by. Her father then sent her to a foster home where she was raped and beaten constantly. When she

In the beginning of the novel we learned many ancient Chinese traditions by observing Wang Lung as a simple peasant, but as he becomes a wealthy landowner his life collapses. This rapid change of social class makes it difficult for anyone who intends to keep their traditional values until their death. This fantastic novel by Pearl S. Buck reminds us that we can never forget our traditional values, because if that happens your life will collapse just the way Wang Lung unfortunately

Epilepsy, it is difficult to deal with for both the epileptic and his family. Howard’s harrowing seizures in the novel Tinkers, written by Paul Harding, frighten those that witness its inconsistency. George witnesses this in his father Howard and is frightened, himself. At first, their relationship is normal but because of Howard’s seizures the relationship collapses and George runs away in his teenaged years. Flashbacks of both George and his father Howard are entries into their lives. Harding helps the readers understand the themes of life, death and relationship between the Crosby men and reaches the readers by capturing their attention with examples for each.

His hard work

He believes that the only reason that the harsh treatment towards the Chinese in America persisted was because of this. He explained how faithful a worker the Chinese were to the point where bosses would refuse to hire anyone other than them . There was an uncomfortable attitude that was well known at the time, that no mistress would want a white servant as an employee, they would only consider hiring from the Chinese nation . This caused chaos in the nation where everyone was in need of a way to support themselves. The Chinese, he feels, were being harassed for their good qualities, not for their

Reaching the “Im”possible Do people take missions to help others? To get away from danger? Or, to endure in daring circumstances? Well, in that case these three characters, undertake their missions to do all three.

With the economic benefit of getting an education virtually eliminated by the Cultural Revolution, the main characters, Wang Fu and Beanpole, sought moral and ethical meaning in education. Despite the seemingly purposelessness of obtaining an education, Wang Fu views Beanpole’s dictionary as a “sacred object” (163) and, after failing to win the dictionary from a bet with Beanpole, “copie[s] the dictionary every day...after school” (168). His motivation for copying “‘fifty thousand characters, a hundred characters a day [for] five hundred days” (168) is revealed to stem from filial piety as well as his desire to stick up for his father, Wang Qitong. Despite Wang Qitong’s immense strength, which makes him capable of carrying hundreds of pounds of rice for an entire team, he is bullied and harassed by his teammates for being mute and declares that “‘[he] is not as strong as Wang Fu, because Wang Fu can read and write” (176). Because of his adoration for his father as being “ones of the strongest men in the world” and his knowledge that “people in the team bully [his father]”, Wang Fu wants to do the right thing and “study and learn how to speak for [his father]” (176). Beanpole, upon being warned by Chen to teach according to the “unified teaching materials” (165), justifies his actions by saying that “[w]hen [the children] return to their teams, they won't have

On Wednesday, May 9, 2018, I attended a presentation by NASA astronaut, Nicole Aunapu Mann, titled “The Sky is Not the Limit” at Grand Rapids Public Museum in the Meijer Theater at 7:30 pm. As Nicole was introduced to the audience by a colleague, he mentioned that Mann aspires to be the first woman on the moon. According to the NASA Diversity and Inclusion Assessment Survey, NASA’s employees are about 60% male and 40% female (WESTAT 17). Throughout this presentation I thought about how my identity and Nicole’s success story as women in this society relates to the identities of men and how they can succeed. Mann made it a priority for her presentation to discuss the many obstacles and hard work that comes with being an astronaut.

5,005 years after dragons took the planet from humans in an event called The Scorching, there has been a war waging for 12 years. Three daughters, Burn, Blister, and Blaze, are fighting over who gets the Sandwing throne. Their mother, Queen Oasis, died by a spear from a scavenger (Human). They rallied the other tribes on their sides. Blister allied with the Seawings, Burn allied with the Skywings and Mudwings, and Blaze allied with the Icewings and most of the Sandwings. The tribes that didn’t join in were the Nightwings, who are too advanced and noble, and the Rainwings, who are just too lazy. A prophecy was made foretelling of five dragonets, a Mudwing, Seawing, Sandwing, Nightwing, and a Skywing, who were going to choose the next queen.

Han Kang’s use of comparison between two closely related but very different characters demonstrates society’s definition of a dutiful wife. Unable to withstand the embarrassment of having a wife he is not proud of, he leaves her. Han Kang used the sense of pressure to depict not only the public opinion, but also the force that drives Mr. Cheong’s actions.
