      While Lt. Michael Murphy is indubitably a positive role model, he is not a person who has had a "profound positive effect on society". He is undoubtedly an honorable man, however, he has not left behind a significant effect on society.

    Initially when I started reading this book, I thought it was going to establish blind obedience as optimal behavior, however I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book places doing what's right as the best course of action.

    1. I also read this book and I have to agree. It does a great job in explaining the events of Anne Franks life in a way that is easy for the reader to understand.

    1. yea, some people get bored almost immediately once they got a book in their hands. Some also falls asleep one they read the first few couple of sentences from any text whether if its their notes taken, a story, or even a book. Me for example, I had an assignment to read the book called "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck. once I got the idea of a poor Indian family, I found that the book was a legend and I wanted to know whats going to happen with this family and their newborn. I think that it happened to you. I love Nelson Mandela and I had the same thing you had and I got amazed after that.

    Title: Mandela, the authorized portrait
    Publisher: Andrews McMeel
    Date Published: October 1st 2006
    Number of Pages: 356 pages

    once I picked up the book from the library, I found it as huge as the school's Geometry text book and I got amazed from the size, the text inside, and the rare pictures about his whole wide life as everybody says, a picture can tell more than text. The photos are clear, big, and amazing like the writing Mandela wrote it was awesome. What I also liked about this book is that it has Mandala's whole ancestor. I would really recommend this book for everyone to buy, not to borrow because you will love it like it's a piece of a history treasure!

    This was the only biography of Maya Lin I could find, and although it was short it was an insightful read. Langmead successfully portrayed the personal and professional life of one of America's most notable architects.

    This book is truly amazing. At first I thought it would just be hard facts about Ellen but I was surprized to find not only facts but humor, quotes and stories. The thing i liked most about this book was that she was talking to you as the reader and trying to interact without interacting. It sounds weird but it was actually pretty entertaining. Overall I highly recomend this book to anyone, you will be surprized by how much you learn while learning about her in the proccess.

    Title: Gandhi: Prisoner of Hope
    Author: Judith Margaret Brown
    Publisher: Yale University Press
    Date Published: January 1, 1991
    Number of Pages: 427

    This book started off really slowly. As I got more into it, the book was very interesting. It eventually came to a point where it was hard to put the book down. It had many quotes or materials that were written by Gandhi himself. The author went into great detail when explaining what happened during certain events.
