As I have previously stated, I never lived in the streets in a bad part of town. My life has consisted of farmland and dairy cows for as long as I can remember. Despite these differences I can draw a clear parallel to my life from the book. During their high school years the boys go through many travails. In one of these Rameck starts hanging out with a tough crowd and he ends up being charged with attempted murder. The charges were eventually dropped. After all of this drama Rameck learns who his true friends are. I have never been accused of attempted murder, but we all go through a stage where we hang out with people that we shouldn’t. For a short period I started to hang out with some of the wrong types of kids. Through a lot of drama I got myself out of that situation and learned who truly had my best interest at heart. I learned who my true friends were just like Rameck.

I found it difficult to relate with the book, The Pact, for near the first half of the story. The three boys, Rameck, Sam, and George all grew up in impoverished neighborhoods in New Jersey. They were surrounded by drugs, violence, theft, prejudice, and death. None of the 3 had a father figure within their home while growing up and discovered that it was extremely difficult to find any positive role models within their area. As kids, Sam and Rameck both caved under the peer pressure and became entangled in immoral activity. Rameck had even let adrenaline take over during a fight and stabbed a man in the thigh with a switchblade. As a result he spent 4 days in jail, some time on house arrest, and faced attempted

The novel The Pact which was read over the summer by Penn State students was considered interesting to some and dull to others. I personally enjoyed the book since I could relate to the book in more ways than one. The story takes pace in an inner city setting with three young men who become doctors and plan to give back to the community in any way they possibly can. The three young men are known as Sam, George and Rameck. Each of these characters posses a different personality which contributes to the book as a whole.

Black or Negro doctors were not common in America during the first half of the century: 500, or about 2.6%, of New York City’s 19,000 physicians were Negro in 1963 (Curtis 64). New York City and Chicago are major cities in the United States, they also are similar when it came to population. It is to say that since New York City only had a few Black Physicians during the time then Chicago reflected the same range of numbers when it came to their black physicians. In fact, African-Americans had only made up “3% of all professional workers in [New York City] in 1950”(Curtis 64). African American women were allowed to work in the medical professions but they were mostly limited to the nursing

In The Pact, Dr.Rameck Hunt began with a tone of adulation shifting to a more gloomy state with the intention of informing his youthful audience about working through the struggles of being in love. Love is uncontrollable and powerful which can be good and or in this case bad; making the person in love prone to getting hurt by the other person or leaving them vulnerable. In the book the author shows the character being infatuated by his girlfriend; this exhibits to the reader that when you fall in love nothing else may seem to be as important other than your partner making things unrealistic. In the book the author incorporates this tone of adulation when the character Rameck states that he “wanted to marry” his girlfriend even though they

Sam, George, and Rameck studied in University High together. Dr. George met Dr. Sam in the seventh grade. They realized they liked the same things: baseball, basketball, video games, Nike sneakers, and the latest fashion in clothes. They did their work in school, but they were not nerds. They often ended up sitting next to each other, learning lessons together, sharing candy and stories about their lives and the happenings in their neighborhoods. By the end of the seventh grade, Dr. George and Dr. Sam had become pretty good friends and were hanging out regularly during lunch. They played basketball, sat outside under the trees and played cards, or just sat outside under the cafeteria, banged out a beat on the table, and rapped.

The main theme of “Final Cut” by Atul Gawande is that medicine is an inexact science and doctors are not always sure of themselves, even if they appear confident. Gawande’s main argument is simply stated: there has been a decline in the amount of autopsies performed in the medical field as a result of medical arrogance; over confident doctors believe they know the cause of death and do not want to perform autopsies. Gawande illustrates his argument by outlining the history of autopsy use in medicine, incorporating medical cases that he has experienced as a surgeon, and including statistics on autopsy usage. “Final Cut” is an outstanding profile on the decline of autopsy use in medicine. What makes “Final Cut” an enjoyable and informative article for all readers is its use of strategies associated with fiction such as the establishment of characters, balance between medical information and personal experience, and its use of active voice.

And more then anything, I wanted to fit in. "(37) Rameck as well as Sam had a experience that would have landed him in jail. His friends and him encountered a crack head and had a problem with him, to solve it they all commenced to attack him up and Rameck had an idea, "I had bought a switchblade from my uncle Rasheed's small swap shop, and it happened to be in my coat pocket. I knew I would really impress my boys if I pulled it out now.

I found a theme that carried throughout the whole book, Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. This is the story about Katniss Everdeen and how she got drafted to fight twenty-three others in an arena. She must go through many struggles to end up winning, along with her new lover, Peeta. One simple theme, perseverance, runs throughout the whole book. The complex lesson the story suggests is that perseverance, emotional or physical, not only helps one, but helps others and causes them to persevere as well.

The students had congenial smiles as they shuffled about the maze of exam rooms on the main level, trying desperately not to survey their IPhones text messages to Minister Mike's plea.
