I thought I knew the entire ending, I thought Ezra would survive and they would fall in love. Except everything I predicted turned out to be the contrary. Karen Hesse ended the book with Leukemia spreading through Ezra’s body because he got into a fist fight. I thought nothing else would happen to Ezra after he fought radiation sickness, but plenty of things did happen to him. I don’t know truly if he died or not because Karen Hesse did not really explain that part, she just stated, “He never opened his eyes again”, so I am not sure if he died or not.

“She said that my life is being subsumed by yours and that it’s as though I’ve joined some sort of eco-cult and you are the cult leader” (Beaven-75). When Colin contacted his family, he received a similar reaction. His plan was “instead of two three-day trips at Thanksgiving and Christmas” they would “take one weeklong trip for one holiday and stay home and relax for the other” (Beaven-82). His mother did not understand because “the train will run whether you are on it or not” (Beaven-82) and that his sister would be devastated that they would be missing his baby shower. I can only imagine what my family would do if I said something to them like Colin and Michelle did to theirs.
At the beginning him and his family had no problem with fasting. Fasting is when you go without all food. But by the end his dad said no to him fasting in the camp. The week does not last long at the concentration camps. His belief was off and on through out the book.
He jeopardizes his own life by stalling her death as much as possible. Barton gave Marilyn her last final hour to grasp the fact that she was going to perish. Within that hour he gave her his notepad so she could write letters to her family members explaining her predicament. As a final aspiration for Marilyn, Barton let her call her brother to explain what happened. Barton didn’t jettison her until she spoke her last words with her brother.
Lewis has been more than out of line when it comes to sweeping his wife, Jane, off her feet, or even making her happy for that matter within the past couple of years. Things clearly are not the way they use to be as he even goes to the extent of referring to his marriage as more like a routine than a relationship. He often finds himself consumed in his work without a minute to spare on his kids or his wife. “It was August 23, 2002, and what I did was this: I rose and ate breakfast, then spent the day at the office, as is my custom.” ( Lewis 4). Yet it is not until he forgets his and Jane’s twenty-ninth anniversary that he finds himself laying in bed wondering just how long their love has been slipping away.

Every day that morrie slowly deteriorates so does the hibiscus plant. The hibiscus plant is very delicate and needs to be taken care off just like Morrie after he gets ALS. In the book in order to explain the similarity between Morrie and the hibiscus plant the narrator Mitch explains it further. “The last class of my old professor’s life took place once a week in his house by the window in the study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed its pink leaves”. (Albom pg 1).
Winston suggests they just walk out and never see each other again, to save them from being hopelessly lonely when they are forced to separate. Julia shrugs off the thought, she tells him she’s thought about it before. She tells Winston, “I’m rather good at staying alive.” (Orwell 137) Hope is shared between them as they realize the Ministry can only physically kill them; they cannot make them believe anything. This belief that Big Brother and the state of the country are unnatural and wrong is a belief they are not supposed to have. Julia means love while Winston means betraying
Small Cell Cancer of the Lungs I am going to do my final research paper on Small Cell Cancer of the Lungs. I have chosen this topic because 8 years ago this December my father was diagnosed with and passed away. He passed away 3 weeks after he was diagnosed. It was a very tragic time for my mom and my entire family to have him fine one day and the next 3 weeks is fighting for his life. Although, researchers say that no one ever passes away from cancer it is the complications that the body goes thru with cancer taking over.
