Everyone faces problems everyday. It is part of life. As well as trying to figure out who you are. The challenges you face help shape who you are. As for Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, she decided to share her story.

The era of piracy, highly exaggerated in modern and popular culture, was seemingly ended by modernization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This can be seen through the development of modern governmental and naval technology, changes in the global economy, and the implementation of new laws, restrictions, and regulations. Throughout history texts provide evidence of the impact of modernization on piracy, highlighting the increasing difficulty for pirates to operate and find profitable targets to continue their life of pirating and poverty. Although there are interesting pirate stories from gruesome attacks and how they operate, from Captain Kidd to Blackbeard, these infamous figures of piracy have been the subject of countless books,

In an article written by Michiko Kakutani he claims, “Author's original texts should be sacrosanct intellectual property, whether a book is a classic or not. Tampering with a writer's word underscores both editors extraordinary hubris and a cavalier attitude embraced by more and more people in this day of mash-ups, sampling and digital books” (Kakutanui, 2011). Even if a piece of literary work is not famous or well-known publishers should not be able to change the original text. In school, students are taught to have their own ideas written in their own words. The publishing company took a historic novel and changed one word and selling it as their own.

Bradbury in his “Coda from Fahrenheit 451,” asserts that editors and minorities ruin authors’ work by taking out or censoring anything they see as unacceptable. He develops his claim by utilizing violent imagery in order to criticize censorship. Bradbury illustrates how the editors “skin” the stories and leave them “leeched and bled white.” Moreover, Bradbury provides real-world anecdotes in order to elaborate on his frustrations. He recalls how “75 separate sections” of Fahrenheit 451 were edited out for fear of “contaminating the young.”

Throughout the world’s history, book burning has always been a supposed remedy for the spread of “unfavorable” knowledge. Whether it be a repressive regime trying to snuff out rebellious ideals or a religious institution claiming heresy, countless “forbidden” books have been burned. And yet, in the end these actions were completely ineffective, because no matter how many books you burn you cannot burn an idea. Nonetheless, the town of Drake in North Dakota decided to burn every copy of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five after finding it dissatisfying. In response, Vonnegut wrote his letter “I Am Very Real.”

There is little evidence for the fact that Beatty hid the truth about censorship in hiding books, but with what evidence is relevant, Beatty will be proven guilty for his obstruct actions. Now, the

Shatoni Madison February 3.2016 Writing Wednesday Recently, several English teachers have decided to teach a certain book to their classes that contains questionable material normally not allowed in schools, including poor language, sexuality, and violence. They claim that the book has many redeeming qualities about it, and also is a great tool for teaching students reading and analytical skills. In my opinion, teachers should be permitted to teach these questionable book to their students. If an author's work was to be tampered with I feel as if many books will lose their value and or the meaning the author was trying to convey.

Five easy steps to avoid that unprofessional look when self-publishing your book We have all read an eBook that made us want to cringe. The prevailing question is who let this get to the public? The grammar is shudder worthy, the syntax is sinful, and the punctuation would have caused my third grade teacher to grimace. The story was pretty good, but honestly, who could get past all the errors long enough to finish a chapter, let alone the book.

It can be said that the larger part of Frey’s success was due to Oprah Winfrey deciding to place “her book club's coveted seal of approval on A Million Little Pieces” (Bastone, 2006). The act further cemented Frey’s place near the top of the publishing list. Winfrey’s recommendation of the book caused sales to skyrocket and led him to earn millions of dollars. He could afford the kind of luxuries very few authors reach in their lifetime.

Along with being deployed some of my learned skills were acquired when I was assigned as a Fury FSC retention NCO two years ago, and my job was to educate soldiers about what they qualified for and other entitlements. Even though the soldier already knew the skills needed in the Army and had knowledge of the Army, I still had to persuade individuals to why they should reenlist. This required some craftiness on my part as some of these soldiers needed to hear something that they haven't heard

Joining the military was a much-needed event. Before joining the military, I would stay out late at night with my friends and I really did not know what I wanted to do next with my life. This was of course something that I needed to change because I needed to have some idea of what I wanted.

I was shocked at what was happening!
