Medicine River
I enjoyed the book Medicine River, by Thomas King as well as the movie, which was based on the book. Although there were profound differences between the two, they were both pleasantly constructed. Having been instructed to read the book first, I was able to experience the full effect of the story and the message that the author intended for his readers. Although the book and the movie clearly relayed the same story, I would’ve better enjoyed the movie if it had included more incidents from the book, such as the visit from Harlen Bigbear’s estranged brother, and the ‘bridge jump’. I also wish the producer would have incorporated the many flashbacks that the main protagonist, Will, had from his youth. For example, the letters written by his father to his mother; the stories about his mother and her best friend; and the relationship with his brother James, namely, the childhood pranks that they played on one another. I am, however, aware of the time constraints involved when producing a motion picture, and I realize that the script had to be somewhat altered considering the medium at hand.
I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the char...
Evaluation: I thought the book was very exciting and suspenseful like her other books. The book had very good detail and an interesting plot. I liked the twist when Juan and the girl’s father came upon Glenn walking down the road. I also liked how the author described the action in great detail. It made me feel like I was right there seeing it all happen firsthand. I don’t think that the author could’ve made this book any better than she did already.
Fans of the novel found that the way the novel is written, you never want to put it down and the action keeps things moving and is quite entertaining. The novel pulls you in and makes you love each of the main characters in it. This is a great series for anyone to read, and it is audience friendly for whoever reads them. There is quite a bit of suspense that will make the novel exceed readers 's expectations, and the twists and turns keeps you guessing and lets nothing be predictable. Some like the way this group of people bands together when they really need to and keep things together so they can all stop the
It is both easy and hard to read, because while most of the words s someone in 7th grade can understand or confidently infer, the puzzles are hard, and you mostly rely on the characters in the story for their answer unless you are a really g good puzzle solver. The characters were well developed, and were interesting to see them interact with each other. The plot moved slowly at first, ad got faster and faster, but it was always just the right pace for the current situation. It was interesting, as there was always something to think about. I only got bored slightly in the first chapter, but that was because it was setting up everything. It got better and better after that. I recommend it to people who like mysteries. I would recommend it to these people because they will be used to the kind of slow start, and will appreciate it for all its
...done in a completely passive manner, and it at times seems as if she is not doing anything at all. The cunning demonstrated by the nurse is Kesey saying that women realize that they do not have the inherent powers that men do. The nurse is afraid of McMurphy and therefore must remove the parts of him that are threats. In doing this, she must remove what makes him a man. The misogyny demonstrated by Kesey shows women as exploiters, which, ironically, is what the nurse names McMurphy. The nurse creates a ward full of genderless robots. McMurphy is the hero, because he breaks free from the mold. Women have always attempted to break out of whatever they are trapped in, and are often the ones who encourage others to do so as well. Kesey’s words create a world where women want everyone to fit the mold, as well as being the main obstacles between men and their freedom.
My overall opinion of this book is good I really liked it and recommend it to anyone. It is a good book to read and it keep you interested throughout the whole book.

To start off, learning how to understand the game is easy! There are not too many rules you have to know in order to play. For example, two rules you need to know is off sides, which is when the attacking team cannot have anyone past the last line of defense without the ball, and unless you are a goalkeeper you cannot use your hands. You can play any type of a formation you want, but most teams play a 4-3-3,
Dorothea Lynne Dix was a social reformer dedicated to changing conditions for people who were incapable of helping themselves. Her passion for helping people who couldn't aid themselves started at a young age. She was born on April 4, 1802, in the town of Hampden in Maine. Her father was an alcoholic and her mother was a frail person susceptible to many illnesses. Dorothea was the oldest of all her siblings, so she grew up taking care of her younger brothers and sisters. Yet, at the age of ten, Dorothea ran away to Boston and went to live with her grandmother, who agreed to train and educate her. Dorothea was taught by her father as a young girl, and therefore was an avid reader and quick learner with Grandmother Dix. (Buckmaster 10-20) Dorothea, a very self-conscious and shy girl, didn't fit into the society of Boston and therefore was sent by her grandmother to live with her aunt. Her...
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
If one were to look back into the world’s history, one would find that an important and consistent element is the world of music. Music has presented itself in various forms throughout its spread and through our identification of its magical realm, people have been fortunate enough to come across a means of relation. Whether it is blues and reggae or rap and pop rock, there is music out there for everyone. Music can serve as a stabilizer for some, a relaxant to others, and to many a form of inspiration.
Throughout the novel, Ken Kesey builds up the tension and hate between McMurphy and Nurse Ratched to set up the book's strong meaning that powerful women need be dominated by the men. McMurphy constantly challenges Nurse Ratched, correcting her when she calls him by the wrong name, "Mr. McMurry" (Kesey 25) and by disobeying her commands. McMurphy
I loved this book, its different religious views and different perspectives, the little love story and the search for oneself. It was a book that I couldn’t let go of. A book that can make you cry and is very emotional.
So after watching soccer players play didn't work out I decided to watch videos on how these soccer players were doing everything and all the strategies I needed to know how to play, but unfortunately I still kept on having problems on how to play soccer.
Soccer is the world’s most popular game. Soccer is played in grass fields all around the world, each teams have 11 players. The objective of soccer is to score more goals than the other team by kicking the ball around the field and into the goal. There is a lot of physics behind soccer.

It requires a combination of various skills, which include: dribbling, passing and receiving, shooting, defending, as well as goalkeeping for some. A soccer player’s skills will also vary from one position to another. These fundamental skills are learned relatively quickly for those who want to play for fun. But if you want to play soccer competitively you will need to master all of these skills above, plus a few others.
