... than individual impressions because they involve the false assumption that all members of a group share the same characteristics.

I was assigned to a raft with my brother, my friend, and the river guide. The adults went in another. About an hour after we left, we made our first stop; an enormous rock midstream. We sat there for several minutes hopped back into the raft and we were on our way, rushing down the river, nearing towards the end. As we approached the last of the rapids, our guide asked if we wanted to surf up t ...

Lines 23 and 24 rhyme “lie” with “eternity,” and lines 27 and 28 rhyme “try” with “virginity.” It is interesting to not that lie rhymes with try, just as eternity rhymes with virginity.

... chapter was interesting because we got to see and understand what Martians are about. They seemed a little like Earthling couples that like to bicker and disagree all the time. The Summer Night In this part, it describes a night on Mars when everyone starts singing and humming an alien song. This was a little weird. I was wondering how this song got into their minds. The Earth Men This story tells about people from Earth landing on Mars. The Martians give them a hard time as if they were not from Earth. This was later explained when they were thrown into a mental institution. They later showed the doctor their rocket, but he thought the men were tel ...
