Green, John. The Fault in Our Stars. New York: Penguin Books, 2014. Print.[Spoiler Alert!]The name of my book is The Fault In Our Stars. The author is John Green and the publisher is the Penguin Group in 2014. My book is about a girl named Hazel Grace and she is sixteen years old. Hazel has cancer in her lungs and she meets a boy in her support group his name is Augustus Waters. Augustus had cancer but he got his cancer taken away from taking his leg but later on he gets cancer again! Augustus and Hazel fall in love but they don’t get to spend a lot of time together because Augustus's cancer makes him die!I liked that at some points in the book when it’s getting to sad it will get really funny! Or when the book seems real in my mind! I like that the book takes me to a whole new worldI didn’t like that Augustus dies right when things in life where getting good for them! I did not like that when Hazel goes to the place she dreamed going and to meet the guy who was there to tell her what it was about was a disappointment because the guy was mean and didn’t want to help her!My rating for the book would be four out of five.I would recommend this book to kids that are older than me because there are lots of hard words and some material that is hard to understand!Highly Recommended: 4 out of 5 starsReviewer: KiaraMy name is name Kiara and my favorite books to read are mystery and horror. My favorite book to read is miss peregrine's home for peculiar children because it is a bit of a mystery and a little bit of horror in the book. I think that reading is important because it helps you understand and read things!

Holm, Jennifer L, Matthew Holm, and Lark Pien. Sunny Side Up. New York, NY: Graphix- Scholastic, 2015. Print.The name of the book is Sunny side up.  The authors are Jennifer and Matthew Holm and it was published in 2015 by Scholastic Inc. Sunny got sent off to Florida to live with her grandfather for the summer.  Everyday her grandfather said that he had something fun but it was always so boring. In the place where Sunny's grandfather lived there was only old people but there was another kid with their dad to visit his name was Buzz.Things I liked/don't like I liked when Sunny went into the pond and Buzz yelled ''BIG AL'' it was so funny. Big Al is an alligator he's big and dark green he lives in the golf pond.  I didn’t like how Sunny's grandfather lied to her about smoking.  She found out that he smoked because she found a cigarette packs everywhere in the car, bathroom and the cereal.My rating for the book is 5/5 I would recommend this book to age 10-15 because it’s kind of hard for kids age 7-9 or lower it has words that they won’t understand but for older kids they will understand. Highly Recommended: 5 out of 5 starsReviewer: LanitaMy name is Lanita.  My favorite place to read is in my grandma’s room with the fan on.  My favorite book is Sunny side up its so fun to read.  I would recommend this book to my grandma because she loves reading books and she will probably like this book.  Reading is important because it could show you words you never seen before it could level up your education.

This paper is an attempt at a critique of Milton Friedman’s article titled: “A Friedman doctrine—The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits” published in the New York Times Magazine fifty years ago. The publication of this doctrine sparked a revolution. Ronald Reagan found it a powerful platform from which to launch his radical free-market agenda. The event marked a turning point when America embarked on a journey towards unfettered capitalism.Encouraged by the Friedman doctrine American CEOs chose a path toward profit maximization/maximizing shareholder value: a mindset that favored risk aversion and a short-term focus on cost reduction vs. long-term need for innovation, quality and customer satisfaction. And it is this historic psychological shift that has contributed so much to America’s industrial decline.Economic inequality in America has been going up persistently since 1974, squeezing the middle class. America’s income inequality has now widened so much that it rivals the highest level recorded in 1928 that led to the Great Depression of 1929. Friedman’s essay has three major flaws. First, it is offered as a doctrine not a theorem. Second, it is grounded in the moral philosophy of self-interest—and greed. Third, it does not distinguish between short-term and long-term shareholders.Friedman’s theory of profit maximization is too difficult, too unrealistic--and immoral.Based on an extensive analysis, we have come to the conclusion that profit maximization is neither good for society nor even for the shareholders.

Savitz, Harriet May. A Girl’s Best Friend. New York: Scholastic, 1995. Print. The book I am reading is A Girl’s Best Friend. I like the book because it’s sad and funny at the same time. It’s sad because she blind. There's a blind girl who has a dog has named Jessie. She also is getting sick. And they are having a hard time with money. It’s sad and funny. It’s awesome and very sad because she is blind and the dog is getting very sick.I did not like the book when the dog might die or get killed and that she is blind so she can’t see her dog but I do love the book.  If I could pick one hundred I would but I can't so I will pick five. My reason is it’s an awesome book and I like the dog, it looks cute. Highly recommended: 5 out of 5 stars Reviewer: SantanaMy name is Santana I really like reading comics because it has some action in it. I am 11 years old.
