    Book Report on Jarhead, by Anthony Swafford

    The novel “Jarhead,” by Anthony Swafford is a first hand account of the Gulf War in early 1990. I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very honest account of his experience, and while he wasn’t actually in any combat situations, it was fascinating to see what life was like overseas. Swafford also often incorporates stories and information from his home life, which shows the reader how he got to where he is today. I

  • Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf Book

    Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf Book

    Although it is thought of as having been 'written' by Hitler, Mein Kampf is not a book in the usual sense. Hitler never actually sat down and pecked at a typewriter or wrote longhand, but instead dictated it to Rudolph Hess while pacing around his prison cell in 1923-24 and later at an inn at Berchtesgaden. Reading Mein Kampf is like listening to Hitler speak at length about his youth, early days in the Nazi

    The Kite Runner - Book Review

    The Kite Runner, a quietly powerful novel, fulfills the promise of fiction, awakening curiosity about the world around us, speaking truth as the lessons of history echo down the years. The themes are universal: familial relationships, particularly father and son; the price of disloyalty; the inhumanity of a rigid class system; and the horrific realities of war. In Afghanistan, young Amir's earliest memories of life in Kabul are blessed with a cultural heritage that values

    Since human beings arrived on the planet Earth, there have been few cultures that lacked the one thing which has ultimately held our species back, prejudice. Throughout history, we see how millions upon millions of people have been killed simply because one group of people believed in a different God, came from another country, or simply had a different color of skin. Fortunately, human beings hold the ability to overcome prejudice through education and dialogue
