... important quality of a good novel based on the Star Trek TV series, or for that matter on any TV show or movie, is the correspondence between the plot of the book and that of the source.

This extraordinary novel tells about a Japanese family that struggles to remain a family while living in an internment camp. The only thing that gave them the endurance and heart to go on was their national anthem. "May thy peaceful reign last long. May it last for thousands of years, Until this tiny stone will grow into a massive rock, and the moss will cover it deep and thick." This family goes through many hardships while living in Manzanar, some of them being having to live in barracks, living with a drunken father, and not eating their traditional foods. In my opinion, "Farewell to Manzan...

It is my belief that defendants should never face a jury of their exact peers. The effect of allowing the defendant to go to court of there peers would destroy the whole system of what this country was built on. In our country's history blacks have fought to break threw racism and women, the right to vote. There have been so many battles won in our country with juries far from having anything in common with the defendant. If defendants where allowed to have juries of there exact pears the justice to the victim would be detrimental. A Jury of exact peers would have a limited view of the subject...

The Pine Barrens John Mcphee's "The Pine Barrens" is a unique descriptive novel, the novel deals with nature and all it's beauty. The story is easy to follow and easy to understand because it is being told through the eyes of a non-partial naturist. The novel was intriguing because it was so relatable to Philadelphia, the fact that the actually Pine Barrens are only about fifty miles away meant that whatever Mcphee experienced throughout the book was not far fetched form what I"d experience. The proximity on which Mcphee relates the Barrens to New York City meant that I've been past that value...
