Related: 10 African American History Books Every American Should Read If you want to know more about the Underground Railroad, the books below will give you more details about the escape routes taken by African Americans before emancipation and the experiences of the people organizing said routes. For instance, if you stay at or visit Philadelphia, you can see the Johnson House, which still looks the same today as it did in 1768. Today, it’s still possible to see Underground Railroad safe houses. The system was aided by abolitionists and allies who wanted to see slavery end. Enslaved Black Americans utilized the Underground Railroad primarily to escape into free northern states and Canada. The network’s allies also used railroad terminology to communicate in secret. The term “railroad” was used due to the fact that the railroad was a new transport system able to whisk people away quickly, just as the Underground Railroad did. In reality, it was a network of people-encompassing all different religions and races-offering secret routes, shelter, and aid to help slaves escape from the South in the early to mid-19th century. There are many misconceptions about this topic, one of them being that the Underground Railroad was an actual railroad. Most Americans have heard about the Underground Railroad, but it remains a poorly understood historical event by the general population.

In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do? My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. Each model of human behavior must be assumed to have some validity. I still, though, hold on to one single bleak truth: no one is safe, nothing is redeemed. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it, I have now surpassed. My conscience, my pity, my hopes disappeared a long time ago (probably at Harvard) if they ever did exist. My personality is sketchy and unformed, my heartlessness goes deep and is persistent. It is hard for me to make sense on any given level. “…there is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there. 7/4/2023 0 Comments Awkward by Svetlana ChmakovaShe becomes closest with Tessa Winston and Nina Badyal.

It was entertaining I certainly didn’t hate it. I’d like to say it was a mix of those two experiences, but Looking for Alaska was difficult for me to form a concrete opinion on. Would it be obnoxious and pretentious like The Fault in Our Stars, or would it be a standard, albeit entertaining YA read like Paper Towns? I honestly didn’t know what to expect, considering my polarizing views of the two previous books. So here I am again, this time with Looking for Alaska. Paper Towns had noticeable flaws as well, but I was genuinely happy to find myself appreciating it more. I wouldn’t say I hated The Fault in Our Stars, but it did frustrate the living shit out of me because of how obnoxious both main characters were, as well as the majority of the book in general. The Fault in Our Stars was pretty difficult for me to digest, while Paper Towns gave me a much more enjoyable experience. You might remember my reviews of The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns a while back. It’s a reminiscence as Gin remembers the first assassination she did on her own, and the lessons learned.
