Through these relationships, it is easy to see how they change Shin. The imagery and descriptive diction used play a huge role in the biography.

Shin is the only one as of right now to have escaped camp 14.

New York is a great town, filled with new sights and old friends. One of the many things that Bullard TALENT did in my 7th grade year while in New York was sight-see. Bullard TALENT traveled all over the city, observing the busy residents and the famous landmarks, like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and Central Park.
