Book Fallen Angels, By Walter Dean Myers, my main character is Perry. Perry has change in the book because he was a lot more scared and just wanted to get out of the war and was really nervous. But at the end of the story he was different because when he was going back home after the big gunfight, but there was a part of him that wanted to with his squad. He felt like he should be back there fighting with them. This leads to the theme of the book because the theme is brotherhood and in the end of the story Perry didn't want to leave his brothers. Peewee is Perry best friend and they met in the beginning of the story. They instantly became friends, Perry also met a girl named judy on the plane and they got along just fine. This shows that

During the midst of war, Murray ends up coming across an injured Sid Archer, a childhood enemy and the man who stole Will’s (Murray’s older brother) childhood lover. Murray helps Sid instead of abandoning him, despite their childhood drama. In this book, Palmer really focuses on the themes of family, death, and bravery. He presents to us how complicated families can get, how people deal with death differently from others, and how there are many forms of bravery.
The main character in the book The Batboy by Mike Lupica is Brian Dudley. Brian tries to solve a big problem with one of the players on the Detroit Tigers, Hank Bishop. Brian knows more about baseball than most MLB players. He tries to get Hank Bishop to be a good hitter again. Hank started going through a slump and almost nobody believed in him. He struck out or grounded out almost every time. Brian helped him get out of his slump and get to his 500 home runs. Brian had three big character traits, nervous, respectful, and helpful. His character traits affected him by making him who he is and making him a great person. Nervous changed him because he needed to tell Hank what was wrong with his swing but he waited a long time.
Literature is very interesting when there is a change in the protagonist. They can start out bad but turn out good in the end. Being the protagonist of a novel and changing your ways can affect the story and give it a great plot twist. There is a story in literature that contains a person that made a bad decision. A victim of sin, Hester Prynne, emerges as a determined, loving, and strong heroine, living her own life in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
No matter the age, we all have faced a time in our lives in which we have had to make a decision. Not only for the embetterment of us now, but in the future as well. This is arguably Perry’s, the main character in Walter Dean Myers’ Fallen Angels, biggest dilemma. He was forced to make a decision that felt would not only benefit him now and in the future, but also benefit his brother and mother's future as well. His ultimate decision was to join the United States army. Perry, the protagonist, and I and are alike in many ways. We both share the same views of the world, are viewed by the world in similar ways and I would respond in a comparable way to the central conflict of the novel. Therefore, I believe given the chance, we could be friends.

How has your character changed in the book? What main events those lead to this change? How does the author show this change in writing?
Serial killers have long eluded law enforcement while simultaneously grabbing the attention of the public, and now more than ever, criminal psychologists are beginning to understand what makes a serial killer. In his true-crime documentary, In Cold Blood, Truman Capote depicts the horrifying murders of four members of the Clutter family and the search to find the criminals responsible for the deaths. Eventually, two killers are caught, one being Perry Smith, a detached and emotionless man. And although his carnage of the Clutters labeled him a mass murderer, many of Perry’s personality traits are characteristic of a serial killer. In fact, if detectives had not caught him, Perry could have easily become a serial killer.
I am a sophomore at Cathedral High School and throughout the school year I have read multiple novels, however only one novel stood out to me. The novel that stood out to me the most was Fahrenheit 451. The reason this book stood out to me was because of your character in the novel. Out of all the characters I have read about, only you have been a real hero to me. Your role as the hero in the novel Fahrenheit 451 was very riveting. It was inspiring to me how you stood up for your beliefs and saw that what society was doing was wrong. You were able to overcome actual obstacles in your way; instead of just running away from your problems before you tried to solve them. You were also able to make an enormous impact on your society by challenging the morals of those around you and by not letting others brainwash you and persuade you to give up on trying to stop the burning of books.
I would recommend this book to a friend because the reader is able to comprehend different aspects of the war. This novel is written in an upfront style, which makes it easy for the reader to follow along. I am thinking about including something about how war gives soldiers mental disorders for my thesis argument. I would like to write about the mental health of our troops for my research paper. I intend to focus on psychological disorders and mental illness.
People can change due to the influence of other people. Guy Montag changes from being a book burning monster to an independent knowledge seeker due to the influences of Clarisse McClellan. Montag in Fahrenheit 451 by: Ray Bradbury shows how he acted before he changed, after meeting Clarisse, and after meeting Faber.
Perry Smith is perhaps the nicest, most gentle-hearted man I've ever met in my life. If he and I were to have met under different circumstances, I would never have hazarded a guess that this kind man could be a cold-blooded killer. He's such a gentle man that it startles me to think that a man such as he would ever so much as touch a hair on a human head. However, it is the story of his past that lends credence to the fact that he slaughtered four members of the Clutter family. Built up emotions of hatred and rejection have been bottled up inside of him for so long, that he sometimes explodes with little cause. Although he appears soft on the outside, it is the build up of emotion within that causes him to behave so irregularly and explode without warning. Perry Smith's troubled personality comes as a result of the polarities of his two sides.

Trains in Japan can go up to 200 miles per hour making it easier to visit people all over Japan. Perry Patetic in his passage, argues that having such a mobile society makes us lack relationships. The author supports his claim by first describing how many families do not live together. He continues by stating how people tend to forget others that they do not live by. The authors purpose is to shine light on the subject in order to get people to stay in one place to develop relationships. The author creates a formal tone for people that tend to be at a distance from loved ones. The technology that is invented in this day and age makes it so distance does not affect a relationship.
Perry PreSchool program had positive effect on children learning development, and the program adults at age 40 who participant in the Perry PreSchool program had higher earnings, stable life and involved in fewer crimes. Perry PreSchool program participants were young children from disadvantaged background. The study showed link in early education and success in school and life. The study gives children a chance to explore and expanded their learning development. The early children education has offered results on improve adults’ life, but the early children education approach was not applied widespread. Perry PresSchool request home visits and involvement from children and parent; however, parents’ and teachers’ schedule would not match perfect. Secondly, society believes that parent should be responsible for the children education, and the government provides access to education like public school. The parents have the choice to send children to public or private school, but private was not accessible to low poverty neighborhoods. Therefore, traditional school setting would be more appealing to low-poverty parents. Thirdly, preschool is seen as daycare not as grade level for school. The study has achieved in evidence that early education effects success in school and life, but the early education approach was not applied in
