Green Mile Part 2: Mouse on the Mile

In my book Mouse on the Mile by Stephen King, it taught me that even the smallest things have a big purpose. It can make a certain group or person happy and forget where he is. It can also change the way of how a person once was. A greedy or evilish man to a nice or can understand people's emotion. The small thing cam affect how a person view things or learn the truth that he never knew before. No one ever realizes this until that thing leaves your life or you leave.

Paul, a man who works in the Green Mile sees a mouse come in the prison and Paul gives him food. Every sees him and start to call him Mr. Jingles because he is a unique mouse. Percy though hates it because he wants to be a tough man who he believes everyone should respect. The  mouse learns tricks and makes people happy; they forget where they are for the prisoners and the police forget all the people who have died in the electric chair. They see that Mr. Jingles only stays with Paul and the rest of the policemen when Percy isn't there. They think that it was just a mistake but later learn that Mr. Jingles is actually smart. They realize he is the hope of  prisoners and a warning for when John Coffey comes in that he is actually an innocent men.

Percy believes he is a man that people should respect because he is the nephew of the govenor. All he ever wanted was to be a witness of a exectution and then leave the job. Paul doesn't like the job, but after the years of working he got used to it. These are two different people who think differently. Paul wants the prisoners to do something right while Percy wants them to suffer for what they have done. Paul wants Percy to lteave because he thinks he has ben causing all the trouble. On the other hand, they might be afraid of John Coffey because he is 6''8 and stockey. Some of them are also racist. Paul thinks he will be the hardest to protect because he is African. In the world, racism will always separate people even if they are nice. There will always be a lot, but always a group or more who are racist.

After the book, John Coffey was in and Percy was in a fight. Percy would never learn that he isn't a man that he says he is. He only picks on the prisoners who are in chains and are about to die. He even picks on a mouse. Paul is a nice man and never wants to see people dead which he doesn't know.

Non-Fiction RR

In the article "Hurricanes and Human Choice" by Roger Pielke Jr. it showed how Hurricane Sandy was the strongest hurricanes in New York. It was rated 17 overall for how much money the damages will cost which is 20 billion. The past year, storms and tornados have made 553 people die from these natural disaters. This number of deaths was common around 1953 through 1954 when stroms like Sandy were natural. If other storms like Katrina and from  the 1900s then it would have made more deaths, more damage and more money to repair the damage. The only reason that these storms are big are because there are more people and more houses than there was in the 1900s so more money.

In the article, the author said "If the recurrence of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake today, for example, then it will cost more lives and more than 300 billion dollars." It shows how New York is weak if stuff like this happens. The geography of New York is bad when natural disaters come in because they are close to the water and the water is close to the buildings. There might be more disaters like this and people are saying that they have to be ready for when it hits them or they can die. They don't want to take risks.

"The Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 tops the list  as it would cause 180 billion dollars if it were to strike toaady. Hurricane Katrina ranks fourth with 80 billion dollars." Everything would pile up if it would hit New York. No one expected stuff like this to happen. Nothing like this ever happened before since two years ago and goes way back to the 1950s. Everybody thought it was a joke that a hurricane was coming until it hit them. No hurricane would hit New York because it would just die out and be a rain storm.

I have come to understand that weird stuff is happening and it is hurting us. People have lost homes and electricity. Some of them might have lost their loved ones too after this tragic hurricane. Gas is running out and transportation is very hard too. People lost hope and it is hard for them for missing a whole week of work and seeing how they can't go to work either. Though like we are, we will find hope  and over come this obstacle.
