The Work of Her Hands
Anne Knowles is the author of the novel, “The Work of Her Hands”. Published in 1983, this work teaches many about the difficult yet rewarding lifestyles of female veterinarians. Women in the area of veterinarian expertise have become more common than ever before. This novel shows the level of skill and dedication it takes to become a great success in this field.
Falling under the category of a science and life experience novel, this book catches the attention of young adults looking to read for educational purposes. For me it has done just that. I have picked up more knowledge by reading this work then I ever would have imagined. I know now that it doesn’t matter how many textbooks I study out of, or how long I try to work things out on paper, the hands on learning and real life experiences is where I will learn the most. My interests for my future involve this same idea, and becoming a vet is not something that I should expect to be easy.

The novel moved me in a way that made me eager to start in the veterinarian field. I am able to connect because I have had experiences relatively close to some in the book. She talks early in the book about learning how to help a ewe during parturition.pg45 I have had a lot of experience in that because I raise sheep of my own However, I got a new impression of the job. I did realize that it was not going to be an easy career before reading this book, but I came away from this novel realizing that for a female this job is more physically demanding, and that if I was interested in this career I would have to put forth more effort than other individuals because I am a smaller type of girl. Rachel is also a smaller type female that had the struggle of a demanding
I came into this class not really knowing any more then people can get insurance and money for food from the human service department. My eyes were definitely opened those first couple weeks of class. I have realized that there is so much more that a human services worker can do. I also learned that most people who use the services are truly desperate and need help. I have learned a lot about seeing the big picture and not just what’s in front of me.
It has helped me so much individually that I had recommended it to my friends at other universities who are currently reading, as well as my father. From debunking myths about police, especially in this chapter, and tricks to get more overtime. Through my own, somewhat biased eyes, I had always thought that if the police would be called there would be a police car there in less than five minutes and a majority of the time there would be an arrest, but in reality that just isn't always true. A hidden theme that I found throughout reading the book was that with the events in just one year is enough to write an entire books, as you yourself could mostly relate
... She comforts the Wilsons, feeds the starving nameless faces when she barely has enough for her own family, works together with the Wainwrights, and as the novel closes she is still directing her assistance to those who are in need any way she can, by helping the starving man and taking control of the situation.

This program helps me be more self confident, and I felt better communicating with others. It also made me think about going to college, I got this from the Guest Readers who went to talk with us. They all told us that we needed College in all the good jobs, and we didn't have to start from the bottom if we had a college degree. They also told us that the community service that we were doing was going to look great on our records. For almost every job you also need a good speaking ability and we have a good practice with little kids. If the kids see you not really interested in the book they would do another thing and ignore you. So for every book you have used another voice and use your body because body language is very important.

My sixteen week class in English 111. I was really nervous about this class. Because English has never been my strong point. This class has hard, but fun all at the same time. I learn a lot from this class. Meanwhile,the first day of class you handed a paper with a question on it. “The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you must not think of being here to receive an education; instead, you will do much better to think of being here to claim one.” Even though putting my all in what I have learned, claiming my education with hard work because using the skills of the meal plan, as we write to different audiences and learning to be a Critically thinker as I start becoming a critically-Literate Citizenship.

I strongly believe it may. Now I view finding the gap in the literature as a form of motivation because there are many gaps in the literature that need to be researched and filled. Through finding these gaps, I am confident that I will find a research topic/question has not been asked and answered already within my topic of interest to answer the "so what?"
In this “Digital Age” that we currently live in, it becomes very easy for an individual to become infatuated with the amount of social media outlets available on the internet. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat all revolve around the idea of showcasing one’s personal life for the sake of receiving positive feedback or attention by peers and strangers from the outside world. An episode of the Netflix sci-fi anthology series, “Black Mirror,” decides to tackle this topic in a surreal yet imaginative way. The episode in particular, “Nosedive,” investigates a hypothetical future or alternate universe where social media profiles and star ratings have become the norm. The plot revolves around a young lady named Lacie, who
