The three important people in the essay “Once More to the Lake,” by E.B. White are the author, his son, and his father, and they represent a bond between his son and his father, the author as a child, and death respectively. First, White represents a bond between his son and his father. In the essay, the author recalls his time at the lake stating, “this feeling got so strong I bought myself a couple of bass hooks and a spinner and returned to the lake where we used to go, for a week’s fishing and to revisit
He treated Sam well and taught him the ropes when everyone else made fun of him as soon as he walked through the gym door. It showed me a lot about Tiny, and possibly that Tiny was Sam one day and was just retuning the favor. The authors writing style is very easy to follow and understanding, but at times he makes it intense when needed. He writes in a style that keeps you interested all times but does not leave you hanging or guessing. That is the strength of the book I think, not the simplicity but the way he makes you feel as though you are the writer.
Jamal’s writing became amazingly good and William was able to see himself as an actual person rather then just an author. This effected him so much he not only went to Scotland, but left Jamal everything he owned, including his writing, the most precious thing to him. “Finding Forrester” did all of this realistically, without making the story hard to understand. Overall this is a very good movie that will leave you in wonder at the extent of a young boys talent, and at the same time have you guessing at the true feelings of William Forrester. I rate this movie an 8.5/10 for its clean plot flow, in depth characters, engaging story, and lack of clichés.
Luther Essay James M. Kittelson did an excellent job portraying Luther’s whole life in a very orderly fashion and in excellent detail, both the good things that happened in Martin Luther’s life, but also some of the bad things that not the average school teaches during Reformation. The exact ordering of everything that took place is in this book is impeccable. The way Kittelson added the little headings on almost every other page made this book a very easy read. The headings alone are a series of accurate accounts that happened in Luther’s Life. There was usually always at least one reference note in every section, which makes me believe that Kittelson really took his time when writing this book.
He also had a clear goal of observing habits that led to success. By taking time to study himself as well as those around him, he was able to focus on self improvement. By doing so, he became a model for all, including both the poor and wealthy.

My Grandfather never believed in distance relationship neither with his wife nor his children so he moved his family from place to place along with his work . My dad also followed my grandfather’s footstep ,working the same job and taking his family around with him. 1982 was the year that brought stable and settled life for my family eight years before I was born. This kind of unstable life was very common in my native country in the 50’s till the late 70’s . Coontz also stated in her essay that women’s were kept in the house without a job just to raise kids
Ideals are shaped by its environment, and my father’s ideals are molded by his surroundings of a traditional Asian lifestyle where fathers can only act as fathers and never as friends, and where the sons and daughters of the family should do nothing but oblige and obey. Like Hata, who is always too busy with his work at the store to pay extra attention to Sunny’s outside life, my father, for the eleven years we have lived here, sleeps by day and works night shift in a factory with a few other Vietnamese men. So as long as he has been in the United States, his values and customs as a Vietnamese male have not quite been exposed by outside surroundings. Similar to Sunny, I have never had a long enough conversation with my dad for him to understand my point of view, and by the time I was barely a teenager, I completely stopped trying to explain myself because I realized that there is no use. Like the adopted daughter of the Japanese American father, I often do what I was told and excuse myself to my room after “time
