Sara introduces Jacob as a young man who is taking a test in order to get into a prestige college. An unfortunate event leads him to run away and join the circus.

Throughout the novel he must overcome many challenges to save his friends, family, and himself.

She was generally busy with school and working for various white families, so she had never really followed or kept up to date with current events. One evening, while walking home form school with a few of her friends, she noticed that the boys, who were usually full of energy and loud, were acting peculiar. Finally, one her older friends, Eddie, suddenly erupted into a cornucopia of yelling and swear words. He proceeds to tell her and the other members of the group that a boy, Emmett Till, had recently been maliciously murdered for flamboyantly complimenting a white woman. Now, while a wolf whistle towards the woman was inappropriate, it wasn’t something to be punishable by death, especially by civilians, regardless of race.
Throughout the novel Finny likes to climb up a tree and jump off it into a small river with his good friend Gene and one day things get a little out of hand and Finny gets shaken off the tree into a shallow river and brakes his leg, this is then resulted in his death at the end of the novel. Now in Dead Poets Society Neal loves acting and he feels unwanted by his father because his dad does not support him with his decision of wanting to act, so Neal commits suicide and leaves everyone in the movie. Both these stories have a different ending of misfortune but the way both stories were structured are very similar, ASP and DPS are also connected by the way both Finny and Neal die in youth. Symbolism plays a very big role in both A Separate Peace and in Dead Poets Society. The symbol in A Separate Peace is the tree and the symbol in Dead Poets Society is the cave.
David Sedaris's Me Talk Pretty One Day revisits his oh, so comical childhood years in a household of six children, including himself, with the combination of a sometimes loudmouthed mother and a father who loves his jazz and his vodka. Me Talk Pretty One Day opens to a story line as if it came straight of a movie: an “agent” knocking a classroom door to pick up a suspected criminal. But after learning that the agent was actually a speech therapist trying to cure young David's lisp, that fear was gone. Along came a series of hilarious stories about the speech therapy classes, or a series of "de-gaying" classes as Sedaris saw them. If you can not tell already, I am more than fond of this book.
