...Chapter five begins with Reuven describing the ride home from the hospital and as the chapter continues, he is extremely reflective of his life in the past and this new found perspective that Reuven has acquired since the baseball incident. The author uses this chapter to elaborate on the parts of Reuven’s life which have gone untouched thus far in Book One. Although this chapter serves as a buffer between the hospital and Reuven’s home, it also offers many crucial insights to the developing plot of the rest of the novel.

...Greek life is the fraternity and sorority community on campus. The terms "fraternity" and "sorority" describe groups of men and women who join together to offer fellowship, academic support, leadership training, participation in campus activities, service to the community and University, and preparation for future careers. They are referred to as Greek chapters because they are named according to the ancient Greek alphabet. Most chapters at Millersville are also affiliated with a national and international organization. Greek life has a strong and rich tradition at hundreds of colleges and universities across the United States and Canada, as well as here at Fullerton. It offers many opportunities to meet people, promote academic achievement, contribute to the community through service and philanthropy projects, and develop leadership skills. Most Fraternity and sorority members are involved in other organizations on campus and participate in leadership and developmental seminars on a local and national level. There are numerous leadership opportunities available within individual chapters and the many affiliated organizations. Greek life also serves as a springboard to campus-wide involvement. Sororities and fraternities recognize the need and concern throughout the year to raise money and donate time for their special philanthropies and service projects.

...Walden Summary In his first chapter, "Economy," Thoreau introduces his purpose in writing the book, saying he intends to answer questions people have asked about his reasons for living alone in a cabin in the woods near Walden Pond for two years. He explains that most people live their lives as if sleeping, blindly following the ways of their parents, and become trapped into these lives by owning property and slaving in jobs to maintain their way of life. In contrast, he sought to discover the true necessities of life and built a cabin, for the cost of $28. 12 _ near Walden Pond, where he lived for two years, beginning in the summer of 1845. Making a profit of $8.71 _ by selling the beans he grew and working occasionally at odd jobs, he found he was able to support himself with very little work and much time for contemplation of himself and nature. Thoreau, in the second chapter, "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For," talks about how he once considered buying the Hollowell farm for himself but the purchase fell through. Instead, he created a new existence for himself at Walden, where he found joy and fulfillment in nature, truly awakening in his mornings there, while most of society remains perpetually asleep, living mean lives when the possibility of a much better life is possible. The key to achieving such a life, he says, is simplicity. In the third chapter, "Reading," Thoreau describes how he derives enlightenment from reading Homer and other great writers, men who spoke...

...Rees’ book, “Industrialization and the Transformation of American Life” the ways that America changed during the industrialization period are presented clearly and strongly. The book speaks about everything that happened in that time period from immigration to business corruption. Professor Rees really knew what he was talking about in this book and he gives good information for the reader to learn about. In the first chapter, Rees speaks about the many different types of industrialization in America at the time. The first one is of course steel seeing as that was the biggest part of the industrial movement during that time period. Steel was so popular then because it made new technology that people had never seen used. It made new railroads that were durable and went further. The main founder of steel was Andrew Carnegie. He was the one who invented steel and led the way for all of the other railroad companies to start advancing their rails and stretching them across America. “Steel mills are perhaps the quintessential example of late nineteenth century industrialization because of their importance to the American economy and because of their dependence upon mechanization.” This Statement backs up everything that was previously stated. This one sentence shows how steel was the number one material in that time. It also shows how important steel was to the advancement of everything else. The second chapter speaks about labor unions and their effects on the industry. It speaks...

...in the year 1892. It contains thirteen (13) chapters all of which provide a deeper understanding and meaning of Christ and the way in which we can use the bible to get to know him on a much more intimate level. In order for an individual to properly accomplish anything in life inclusive of a meaningful relationship with another they must invite Christ in their lives, and since many of us have difficulties doing so, this small book written by Mrs. White provides us with a step by step tutorial so to speak on how to accomplish this. Chapter one is entitled “God’s love for man”. This chapter speaks about God’s undying love for us, despite the factor that we disobey him daily, he still protects us and cares for us. Many times people only look at the things that they ask God for and don’t receive or the bad things that are allowed to happen to them. Rarely ever do people genuinely take the time to think about the evil things that God is protecting them from that they cannot see, or how much care he puts into us. Without him we would have no life, we wouldn’t be able to eat or do any of the things that keep us alive. The only reason we are alive today and have the hope of salvation is because God sacrificed his son so that through him we might be saved. Therefore step one is to view the intensity of God’s immeasurable love for us in the light of Jesus’ life and death”. Chapter two is entitled “The sinner’s need of Christ”. This chapter goes into depth about how much each of us need...
