I dont have my book.
The Arc of Justice. The Introduction to the book says alot of stuff. It gives you facts about the US in the 1920's and so on. Then it tell you about Detroit and the automobile industry. I really didn't know who created all the other car companys and what not. I gain so just in the introduction
The book Im reading is "A Unquiet Mind". I like the introduction of this book because of it's details. Also It caught my attention while reading the introduction. Now I'm really into the book and don't wana set it down. In the introduction it talks about where it takes place. This is just one of the main things it talks about in the introduction which was very important.
I dont have my book but, so far what i have researched online about "Writing With Style". That the book is based on how to write and the different styes and techniques of writing. I must say that im am interested in the book hus far.
The book that Im reading is The Arc of Justice. The introduction talks alot about 1925. It talks about how Detroit is creating all of the automobiles. It talks about how Detroit is growing and all of the new things that are errupting in 1925.
I've read the prologue and I'm a few pages into chapter one. The prologue helped me understand the information thats going to relate to the book. The book talked about migration and the auto industry in the 1920s. In the 1920s came the Jazz Age. During 1924, the National Origins Act strict limits of the number of immigrants into the country that ended the immigration era. That Detroit was a pleasing place in the 19th century.
The Arc of Justice's prologue gave you a sort of visual idea of how life was after slavery was abolished. It gave details of what it was like in the Nothern Cities where most of the African American freed slaves migrated. This gives a sort of breif summary of what happend before the book has been written. It basically lays out what happend before the story had taken place to catch the reader up with what the author is telling a story about.
I am reading "An unquiet Mind". I am currently on page 25. The intro and prologue was really interesting. When you have someone with manic depression you can tell that something is different about them. The author, Kay Redfield Jamison, does a great job of illustrating the disease with her word choices. Jamision does a wonderful job of detailing every little situation the patient comes to in her life. I still think that it is amazing that the patient goes to school to become a doctor for the illness that she had dealt with for the majority of her life.
My book came in today from Borders I have to go and pick it up. I am reading “ Writing with Style”.
I am reading the book "An Unquiet Mind". In the introduction it talks about the setting, some main facts about the authors depression, and how her depression has changed her and what is going through her mind. I am in the second section of my book because there are not really chapters. It is going good so far and I am excited to read what the rest of the book is about.
The Arc of Justice is a compelling novel that relates to the struggles of African Americans in the early 19th century. Jazz was a big part of this era. The African Americans started migrating north to escape the evil of the south. The prologue also gives information on the situation of our country and the time.
Arc of Justice tries to bring you into the time zone of the 1920's and all the was going on back then. Detroit history about the automobile industry is also mentioned, which a lot of it I already because my family has worked in it for a long time. It tries to give you enough information so when you actually start reading the chapters you can jump in right where they left off.
I am currently reading "An Unquiet Mind", and on page 32. The prologue was very interesting and so was the introduction. I was glad i read the prologue because it let me know what exactly i am going to read about. Someone that has manic depression is very special in several ways and i am excited to continue reading this book to find out more about it.
I am reading the book An Unquiet Mind. I am half way through the first part of the book.
The prologue is a great way to give background about the book. It explains the life of Kay Jamision. It is a great thing that she has gone through all the things that she is treating her patients for.
The book im reading is " A Unquiet Mind". I'm very glad I picked this book because its very interesting about manic depression. The author describes Manic depression amazingly and in great detail. It keeps my attention and I always want to read more and more. I cant wait to finish this book and find out what happens!
The Arc of Justice: The introduction of Arc of Justice starts off in the summer of 1925. Boyle describes segregation and the Jim Crow laws. There were "whites" ,and coloreds" signs hanging to separate blacks and whites. He als describes the lynches by white mobs.
I just purchased my book today so I plan on starting my book in the next few days.
An unquiet mind is very interesting to me. once I pick up the book and start reading it I cant stop. The reason why I like the book is because I can relate to the author. There were certain parts of the book I really didnt understand, but there were some parts that made me really think about things. I like my book and Im glad that I chose it.
