"And where are the traces of his mind in those heaps of bones and dust? What of his consciousness? Can a corpse think, and plan, and guide the hands of living men?" (pg 95). This quote reflects the protagonist's growing concern about the fate of Charles Dexter Ward and the unsettling mysteries surrounding his disappearance.

done over the weekend

forgot to update on Saturday

Currently in the book All american boys poeple are being called rasict left and right. The main antaganist once told the main character how the demegraphics changed and "its harder to be a cop" (Reynolds). Why would it be harder to be a cop of if the demo graphics change. Does this show how the antagonist feels or is this just a fact?

Since the last time I updated i've read ad finished this book at home, this took about 3 hours

In the start of this book the perspective is of Rashad in the gas station. I'm wondering why the cop arrested him after hearing, "he was tryign to steal" (Kiely 22). I don't think you can do tath and even then you have to make sure that he was in the first plance.

In the book Think Again, the author is talking about persuasive speaking and how people tend to think. In this specific spot is is talking about how "10 percent of Americans are dismissive of climate change" but they get about half of all news coverage (Grant 155). This makes people think that a lot of people are dismissive about climate change and how it deters them from doing something.

Almost finished the book, read for 75 minuets

Currently in the section of the book "think Again" that I'm reading he is going over how to convince people. When he is explaining that "Sometimes [people are] resisting the sense of pressure" when they don't want to change. I relay can relate to that because when ever i feel like playing cello and my mom tells to go play before i do i no longer want to play.
