Blog 2

BLOG #2: Recall your own nonfiction literary history. List any nonfiction books (the “other literature”) that you have read that fall into the following categories: autobiography, diary, biography, history, criticism, personal essay collection, journalists, political commentary, scientific topics, nature topics and humor. After listing such works, list any famous lines, ideas, issues or themes remembered from the nonfiction works you have listed. Recall from memory what you can. Discuss a particular philosophy on life that was imparted to you through one of those works. Consider the extent to which you would emulate this philosophy in your own life.

“Now I have to live,” I said to myself, “because I am alone and nothing can hurt me any more.”- ABML
"Men make history"- FB

All But My Life displays the theme of hope. The girl ends up with absolutely nothing but still has an optimistic out look on life. I emulate this philosophy immensely in my life. I believe we all should have a hopeful outlook on life. Everyone needs to get back up when they get thrown down.
