Good literature is something not most people can find. There may be many books and authors but not all can write good literature. There is one book that can be considered as good literature,Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.
     Of Mice and Men is a perfect example of not only good literature but also about things in life. Unlike other books this book shows problems and solutions, faults and failures. One outstanding character that shows the traits of a hero is George.
     There are many reasons why this book is a prime example of good literature, one of them is because they do not hide anything from the readers, they show mistakes so people can learn from them, the character that shows these traits is George. From a readers point of view, this character is always showing good leadership and expressing his feelings, he is an honest man who tries to correct his mistakes and if he ever does get in a problem he will solve it and not run away from it.
     George is a normal man who travels with Lennie, a mentally retarded man. They both have had good and bad times together but at the end they both love each in father and son like relationship.
George is always getting Lennie out of trouble. But Lennie only cares about little soft things. He doesn't remember anything anyone says, George said "might as well spen' my time telling you things you forget".
     The reason why I think George is a good example is because he doesn't hide any faults or failures, he expresses them so that other people can learn from his mistakes. There were many problems he has been in thanks to Lennie like the time when they got "driven out of Weeds" just because Lennie had to "touch anything he likes". To me Lennie is a "little kid" and George is like his father he is always protecting him and getting him out of problems.
     There are many more great examples of good literature throughout this book that will show the reader what a good example of "good literature" is like. It may not be a perfect ending, but not every story has to end in a happy way.

The Main Place in Main Street.

Batesville may be a small town in Arkansas with nothing to do, we are known for football but that's about it, Batesville is one of those towns with nothing to do but to hang out with friends. Even though it may seem boring, one of my favorite places around here is the Melba, even though we have another, much more popular, theater, the Melba is my favorite. There are many reasons to why I think how I do. As you walk down Main Street, approaching the Melba, you start smelling popcorn, if you enter the building the strong smell of popcorn butter combines with the smell of candy, it is a little cold in there but not much, while you talk you might taste a little dust since this place is a little old. You hear a movie playing in the background or if it is before the show, you hear gossiping. Children sitting down, excitingly waiting for the movie to start and parents trying to calm their children down. This may not seem like much but you always have to enjoy the small things in life.

What is this holy war?

The Quaran talks about a “holy war” that in a way makes the terrorist think that such things as in 9/11 will take them to heaven, but would violence be acceptable in a holy place? On September 11, 2001 the Al Aqueda attacked the United States to get attention and power. After this tragedy, people started to notice that in the "holy book" of the Muslims talked about a holy war. The terrorist did all of this not only to terrorize or for power, but also because their leader (Osama) brainwashed them and convinced them that this got them a spot in a holy place with Alah. But the question is, why would all this violence take them to heaven even thought in the Bible it says not to kill?. Although they did all of this, they might of frightened us for a bit, but they never took our pride.

"I am.."

I am smart and caring
I wonder what heaven looks like
I hear music all around
I see changes everywhere
I want to be remembered
I am smart and caring

I pretend to be an austronaut
I feel like I can change things
I touch my iPod
I worry when something goes bad
I cry when something touches my heart
I am smart and caring

I understand not everything is perfect
I say what I believe
I dream of having a good life
I try to do my best
I hope the world will change
I am smart and caring
