Reaction to Hotel Rwanda and Disposable Culture

I really liked Hotel Rwanda. It was really entertaining and a great story of heroism and bravery. It really showcases the disposability that goes on within one society. It exposes the hate that was shown onto the Tutsi’s, by the Hutus. The Hutus have overtaken Rwanda, and see the Tutsi’s as disposable. They see them […]

Final Reading Reaction and Recommendation

I got basically halfway through the book Moneyball. I think the story is now picking up, because now it is actually talking about how the A’s got to where they are, instead of just background. I thought it was cool because I got to see kind of what goes on in a MLB Draft, and […]

I still will add many details to it, because this is quickly done and not yet revised yet.   A crumpled, battered newspaper fluttered through the wind and slowly […]

Reading Response to Moneyball, part 2

This is my second response to the book Moneyball. Right now in the story, it is talking about a man named Bill James, who essentially invented sabermetrics, a new style of selected and drafting players in the MLB, based upon on base percentage. He first started by creating a book called the 1977 Baseball Abstract. […]

Reading Response to “Moneyball”

I am reading the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game. It is 3rd person limited, because the readers can see what some characters are thinking. It is about the story behind the Oakland A’s, and how they put together 90 and 100 wins seasons despite not having any MVP caliber players, top […]

Death of a Salesman Reaction

I think Death of a Salesman is a very interesting book, to say the least. But, I think it’s also pretty depressing, because it left me questioning my life. It makes you think about so many different things and question the reality that you thought life was. I never wanted to end up like the […]
