Chapter 1 -- This story starts out with Gillian Lennox walking home from
school. Gillian was going to get ride from a friend but she
had already left. When she reached the wooded area she heard
crying. She went to investigate. She followed the sound to the
creek where she lost her balance and fell in the icy river.
Chapter 2 -- She worked her way over to the left bank and grabbed some
roots as she went by and she was able to hold on and pull
herself out of the river. She was now trying to find a way out
of the woods. She had trouble walking so she took off her
jacket, but she still kept on falling. She finally sat down
and fell asleep, waking up to a girl who was she. Gillian saw a
tunnel and rushed toward it. She realized she was dead.
Chapter 3 -- Next thing Gillian knew she saw an angel. This angel gave her a
choice. He said that it was not her time and that she had the
choice on whether to go back or stay. She decided to go back.
When she got back to the place she had left, the angel told
her which way to go. When she got to the road she waved down
the only car on the road it was David Blackburn. He got her
in the car and started to drive her home, when she realized
she had forgotten about the cries she heard in the forest.
She told David to stop but he kept driving.
Chapter 4 -- As David got her in the house, he promised her she would never
have to walk to school again, he would give her rides. He
started to get her a bath and get her undressed when David's
girlfriend, Tanya came in and told him she would take care
of Gillian. David called the police and got her some chocolate.
Tanya asked him how old that he thought Gillian was,
he said 13, but she was not she was a junior in the same high
school that David and Tanya went to. When Gillian got them to
leave, her mother came out and asked what was going on.
Gillian just said nothing and went to bed. She fell asleep
questioning herself about life and death. Later she woke up
to a strange light.
Chapter 5 -- But it was not a light it was a presence. She looked in the
corner and saw the angel. He talked to her about how he had
saved her from freezing.

In 1776, David McCullough gives a vivid portrayal of the Continental Army from October 1775 through January 1777, with sharp focus on the leadership of America’s greatest hero, George Washington. McCullough’s thesis is that had not the right man (George Washington) been leading the Continental Army in 1776, the American Revolution would have resulted in a vastly different outcome. He supports his argument with a critical analysis of Washington’s leadership during the period from the Siege of Boston, through the disastrous defense of New York City, the desperate yet, well ordered retreat through New Jersey against overwhelming odds, and concludes with the inspiring victories of Trenton and Princeton. By keeping his army intact and persevering through 1776, Washington demonstrated to the British Army that the Continental Army was not simply a gang of rabble, but a viable fighting force. Additionally, Mr. McCullough supports his premise that the key to the survival of the American Revolution was not in the defense of Boston, New York City, or any other vital terrain, but rather the survival of the Continental Army itself. A masterful piece of history, 1776 is not a dry retelling of the Revolutionary War, but a compelling character study of George Washington, as well as his key lieutenants, and his British adversaries, the most powerful Army in the 18th Century world. When I read this book, I went from a casual understanding of the hero George Washington to a more specific understanding of why Washington was quite literally the exact right man at the exact right place and time to enable the birth of the United States.

7. When the mother wanted David to lye on the stove and burn, David decided to see if he could trick her. He watched the clock and decided to see how long he could keep her from making him get on the stove until his brothers got home. He succeeded and from then on he decided that he would not give up and he would always try to outsmart his mother.

In the favela of São Paulo, Brazil, 1958, Carolina Maria de Jesus rewrote the words of a famous poet, “In this era it is necessary to say: ‘Cry, child. Life is bitter,’” (de Jesus 27). Her sentiments reflected the cruel truth of the favelas, the location where the city’s impoverished inhabited small shacks. Because of housing developments, poor families were pushed to the outskirts of the city into shanty towns. Within the favelas, the infant mortality rate was high, there was no indoor plumbing or electricity, drug lords were governing forces, drug addiction was rampant, and people were starving to death. Child of the Dark, a diary written by Carolina Maria de Jesus from 1955 to 1960, provides a unique view from inside Brazil’s favelas, discussing the perceptions of good
