Dear Mrs. Philyaw,
"Life finds a way," said the character Ian Malcolm in Michael Crichton's bestselling novel Jurassic Park. This quote can be further seen in its sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park. The Lost World: Jurassic Park is a science fiction novel written by one of the most successful novelists, Michael Crichton, and published in 1995.

The team's objective is to document the dinosaurs living on the island and uncover any new species. They soon find that InGen, the company that creates the dinosaurs, has lost control of the island, and the creatures now live in a natural habitat.

The book illustrates the easiness of treating others disrespectfully without dignity, particularly when facing challenges and conflicts. Dehumanization can lead to severe consequences, just as the characters in the book learn from painful experiences. We must know well about our actions and how we treat and interact with other living beings. Malcolm notes, "The truth is that our way of living has an impact on the world, and we have to take responsibility for it" (Crichton, 307). Our world has countless examples of people and animals being mistreated inhumanely. We should always show our respect and care for all living beings. We must treat humans or non-humans with dignity, compassion, and love to create a more humane
Malcolm X is accurate in his evaluation that white Americans are responsible for projecting an inferiority complex onto black Americans. In this sense his arguments against the integrated black man are persuasive, but his violent approach is disconcerting, as his anger develops into that which he so fiercely opposes, namely, racism.

It underscores the sin of omission in powerful and painful ways.

1. Explain the author's primary point. The author seeks to bring to light the unfair treatment of the Negros by the whites in the places they live in. He also seeks to show that leaders only make empty promises to their people. Brutal cases are most among the Negros as they are attacked and their cases go unnoticed or ignored.
“There is only one way in which one can endure man’s inhumanity and that is to try, in one’s own life, to exemplify man’s humanity to man.” - Alan Paton. Everywhere in the world, inhumane happenings are frequent. Inhumanity can be described as something as simple as making fun of someone, or even an event as severe as the Holocaust. Throughout life, inhumane activities and tragedies will plague the Earth, sometimes overwhelmingly.
The autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Hanley, is describing how rough, violent, and racist it was during the era Malcolm X was born. They weren’t wanted in the in towns, cities, because they were a different race, the “white people” didn’t respect them, always treating them poorly. Everywhere they go, would be different, they can’t get paid as well as the white people. Different race people were still considered as “slaves” basically. Malcolm X tries to overcome what the white people have thrown at him, by choosing to be on the dark side.
As a child, Malcolm experience not only but violence of whites but also the violence of his mother and father against each other and seven brothers and sisters and himself. While Martin could scarcely recollect his mother and father quarreling Malcolm parents continuously appear to
He explains that in order to survive, people must abandon their own wants in order to please those in charge (Ellison 361). This creates a sense of conflict within the narrator who is torn between his own pride and meekly following commands. These characters represent a failure to one’s community by demonstrating that the oppressed would rather ensure their safety then charge the

He juxtaposes this reality against the idealized version of the country, often portrayed as a beacon of civilization and progress. By highlighting this truth, he calls the readers for a constant questioning and exploration of the stories told to them by schools or other people.

The book challenges Americans and how they treat American Values. The book exposed the truth of the white race and how they treated the black race. Throughout the novel white Americans did not value equality or progress and change. In Black Like Me whites did not believe in having a society the ideally treats everyone equally.

It teaches that non-violence methods are just as productive and practical, if not more. Furthermore, today is the perfect time for discussion about the discrimination and prejudice that still exists and can be traced back to this book. There is still slavery in many countries, and sex trafficking is a huge issue. Even today there still exists in the South, and some places in the North, some unjust officials implement their authority in the name of justice to practice injustice against minorities and people of color.
The darkness of the night terrified him and reminded him of the dark incidents of his house burning down and his father and uncles’ murders. The daytime, too, had its dangers as there was a constant threat of violence, beatings, and bullying. But it was through these events that Malcolm truly learned to fend for himself and become tough, while discovering who he was as well as what he believed in. Despite not being accepted by his white peers or his black peers, he still showed a brave, humane version of himself: one who defended underdogs of either side with a greater effort than he used to defend himself with. Malcolm believed in what he deemed was just and when it time came to judge, he saw no color but rather what he saw was
Title Researchers and scientists have constructed extensive research on dinosaur’s extinction. Speculation instead of real evidence seems common in most theories about the dinosaurs’ extinction. However, Jay Gould’s essay “Sex, Drugs, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs” is the complete opposite of speculation over evidence. Rather, Gould uses the mix of persuasive techniques, such as rhetorical questions, logos, along with profound evidence to not only disapprove of other theories but convince readers of his place on the dinosaur’s extinction.
Because of this experience, Malcolm X becomes less resilient to the idea that people of all colors can coexist. This relates to my thesis in that showcases both a positive and negative environment created by Malcolm’s interactions, and the interactions of those around him, with white

The government imprisoned him multiple times for his crimes and this added to his depression. He desperately tried to change the way society looked upon him, but eventually he looked to crimes and rebellion in order to
