He enjoys playing sports and hanging out with friends. John has always been popular and done well in school and sports.

He has little trouble expressing himself and enjoys doing so on stage while playing in his band. Donnie is determined to earn a degree and find a career in playing, writing, or producing music. Response: In 200 to 300 words provide an opinion on who would be more likely to be persuaded by peer pressures such as drinking, drug use, skipping class, and other irresponsible behavior in a new city. Then, provide your reasoning on why you chose either John or Donnie as more likely to conform to his new social situation. Reference the factors that influence persuasion and conformity discussed in your text. I believe the person that would be the most likely to persuaded into drinking and other issues would be the “jock”.

...1920s Text Set Atlantic Fever by Joe Jackson A fast-paced, dynamic account of the race to cross the Atlantic, and the larger-than-life personalities of the aviators who captured the world's attention In 1919, a prize of $25,000 was offered to the first aviator to cross the Atlantic in either direction between France and America. Although it was one of the most coveted prizes in the world, it sat unclaimed (not without efforts) for eight long years, until the spring of 1927. It was then, during five incredibly tense weeks, that one of those magical windows in history opened, when there occurred a nexus of technology, innovation, character, and spirit that led so many contenders (from different parts of the world) to all suddenly be on the cusp of the exact same achievement at the exact same time. Atlantic Fever is about the race; it is a milestone in American history whose story has never been fully told. Richard Byrd, Noel Davis, Stanton Wooster, Clarence Chamberlin, Charles Levine, Rene; Fonck, Charles Nungesser, and François Coli--all had equal weight in the race with Charles Lindbergh. Although the story starts in September 1926 with the crash of the first competitor, or even further back with the 1919 establishment of the prize, its heart is found in a short period, those five weeks from April 14 to May 21, 1927, when the world held its breath and the aviators met their separate fates in the air. *525 pages *Adult/Young Adult *5 copies available The Diviners by...

...would mind that his real name appears.” So, for almost the entire book, the truth was that Norman was a real person that O’Brien wanted to be in the novel. Then, in the end, the truth is that he wasn’t a real man at all and with this quote the truth changes back to the belief that he is a real man. The truth was fluid in this instance because it changed how the reader viewed the characters reality. Finally, truth can be ambiguous. Authors can express themselves through stories and to get the authentic feeling that they had in the moment, they have to embellish the story. O’Brien says it best when he says “It's time to be blunt… I want you to feel what I felt. I want you to know why story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth (pg. BLAAA).” Whoever is trying to convey a story might have to choose to fabricate parts of the “happening-truth” to properly express the story-truth. An audience may never be able to relate to a story or understand the feeling of the story how it actually happened, and by telling what actually happened, you are actually lying because you aren’t conveying the story how it actually felt in the moment. So, even though truth may not have been a subject up for debate lately, it doesn’t mean we can’t reflect of the meaning of it and its importance in storytelling. The Things They Carried is a perfect example of how all three versions of truth can mesh to create one muddied version of the truth. None of us will know if O’Brien wrote entirely truthful stories...
