Alan Turing: The Enigma Summary

He really takes the time to explain all of his thoughts thoroughly. He makes sure to give plenty of examples throughout the book. He even quotes politicians and he explains whether what they said is right or wrong. By doing this he tackles a number of myths and explains why they are not true. I found it intriguing how he compiles and deciphers his data.

I only experienced one weakness of his book, in my opinion; the book took forever to get to the solid

However the only problem I really have with the book is the slow pace and repetitiveness that often takes

There is many elements in this book that makes you learn more about what he is going through. I learned that this book may be a bit confusing/hard but it’s still a great

Anthony’s parents held him back a year, because the guys in his class were horrible. The guys would make fun of him and call him names because of the way Anthony dressed and acted. Anthony would come home after school everyday crying because his friends were no longer his friends. He also cried because he was confused about what was happening, it realized it was not normal to like guys. Throughout high school, Anthony began to accept himself, but there was always a part of him that he kept hidden.

Teens thought they were dealing with the worst of the many problems, but after reading this book they now realise it was nothing compared to problems faced in this novel. The novel Looking for Alibrandi, by Melina Marchetta. This book is about a seventeen year old girl named, Josephine Alibrandi who is in the final year of school.

All of these provide us with the fact that the protagonist suffered guilt, helplessly and vulnerable by the fact that he couldn’t erase the memory of Alan Mannering’s death. The ideas of freedom, independence and friendship are outlined in the story “Big World”, by Tim Winton. The story follows two young men, the narrator and his best Biggie, escaping their ordinary past, to go on a journey and ironically it is a “Big World”. The story explores the idea of a person’s perspective, how moments can change things and how their friendship continues as they mature into adults, to make their own decisions and having freedom.

Unlike Henry Dobbins and Norman Bower’s chess games which were predictable and made it easy to see which side was going to win, war was the complete opposite.

The approach he uses that moves between Spanish, French, and several Native perspectives leads to repetition which could have been minimized in my opinion.

In enduring these complex emotions, this section was the most remarkable part. One of the first apparent emotions the boy experiences with the death of his father is loneliness to make this section memorable. The boy expresses this sentiment when he stays with his father described as, “When he came back he knelt beside his father and held his cold hand and said his name over and over again,” (McCarthy 281). The definition of loneliness is, “sadness because one has no friends or company.”

Since The Road is more about the Boy’s journey than his father’s, the supreme ordeal at the end of the novel is the death of the Man. The death of the Man, who acted as the Boy’s mentor during the many challenges faced by the duo, represents the largest and most devastating challenge faced by the Boy. Not only is this due to the fact that the Boy feels unprepared to continue on without his father, but it is also because the “reward” and “road back” are not immediately apparent to the Boy. Compared to even the most challenging obstacles the Boy faced in the past, the death of his father leaves him both physically and mentally pained and exhausted. However, relief from his situation arrives promptly in the form of the stranger who claims to be a “good guy,” though the Boy’s future remains forever uncertain.

Many historians, such as Judson Knight, call their cracking of the code “the single greatest cryptanalysis success of the war (Knight).” Considering the U.S. and Britain

Turing proved himself to be a valuable genius and his contributions to designing the Bombe were significant during World War II, but he encountered disgrace when authorities revealed he was homosexual. Two years after he was convicted of “gross indecency”, he committed suicide by ingesting a lethal
