The Heat Hi room 29, the book I will be writing about is called The Heat. In this realistic fiction book The Heat by Mike Lupica, Manny has a hard time controlling his temper. To, back up my opinion, I will state evidence from the story, why Manny has a hard time controlling his temper. Manny told Michael,"Please, pretty please, tell me that punk is going down" (69). The line means Manny wants something bad to happen to someone or he wants beat up someone.

As the saying goes, “Everyone is different,” from the way we think, to the way we act.

The criminal who killed Wells’ very own Maestro Enrico Mantoli who was supposed to lead the city to fame, popularity, and money.

The science fiction of fahrenheit 451 becomes less and less of a fiction every day. The blood, war, and revolution also strike as too close for comfort. The author, Ray Bradberry, also took the time to show some of his transcendentalist views throughout the end of the book.
