Book Review After getting this assignment I was in a little panic because I had no idea what I wanted to do. Doing a reaction paper to a movie that deals with diversity/race is not something I do everyday, but I decided to buckle down and get it done. There are tons of movies that deal with diversity, but a lot of those movies aren’t movies I’m interested in, this made my decision a lot harder.

chapters the author really capitalizes on the suspense she left the reader in. With Lark still stuck in the plane and Joe LeDonne is stuck under the plane he found. Reading this was extremely difficult for me because I don’t handle suspense well. I found myself hanging on every word the author wrote trying to figure out how the story would play.

then later I may hate myself because the song keeps echoing in my head. This awful song will now be the first thing I hear in the morning for the whole week. From my own experience, I labeled these songs the Mike Jones collection, Songs that will haunt me and leave me on guard forever. Music, awful music can be a bad experience on that very level.
