    Although she had been averse to the project given to her, she gradually began to like it. It was the only class she actually tried her best at, as an outlet to express herself, even if it was just the slightest bit. Over the next couple weeks, Melinda started to eat lunch with Heather and went on a couple trips to Heather’s home. The two formed an unhealthy friendship where Heather did about 90 percent of the talking, as she was much more social then Melinda.

  • Summary Of The Final Chapter Of American Grace

    662 Words  | 3 Pages

    As mentioned there is a division of fear or hostility when it comes to any form of ‘House of God’. When it comes to a church many Americans are happy to have one in their neighborhood but unfortunately when it comes to a mosque or temple or even a synagogue these are met with more resistance, “Almost everyone is okay with a Christian Church in their neighborhood; highly religious Americans are less sure about a Buddhist temple” (Putnam and Campbell, p514-515). Does this make them less tolerant? Or is this about fear and instability? This is where I see that Putnam and Campbell have not answered the question of whether America is as liberal or even as tolerant as one would like to believe.

  • Commentary On Gracey's Journey

    All the people in the tons attitudes had changed the next day because all the non Indigenous people had complained about Gracey getting lots of travel expenses and items for free. I think that the next day when Mr Jenkins said this he was trying to say that if Gracie wants to get anywhere in life as an aboriginal she needs to fight for her rights and stand up for herself against the white people in the little town of Cunningham. I think Mr Jenkins said this to give her an important message saying that life will be hard. “do you understand” (J. Moloney, pg 22 ) I think that in this situation, Mr Jenkins knows that there is a risk of Gracey not being able to compete or have the gear needed for the big trip to Brisbane.
