  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "The Black Echo" by Michael Connelly follows Detective Harry Bosch as he investigates the murder of a Vietnam veteran, Billy Meadows, which leads him to a complex bank robbery. The narrative explores themes of corruption, betrayal, and the lingering consequences of the Vietnam War. Bosch's investigation takes him into the city's underbelly, where he uncovers a network of deceit that reaches into his own police department. He works with F.B.I. agent Eleanor Wish, a character who has her own personal motivations related to the war and her family. The story blends a police procedural with elements of a psychological thriller, and reveals how the war has affected the lives of those who served, and those who were left behind. The characters' pursuit of justice clashes with the bureaucratic forces that want to control the story. The plot twists and turns while unveiling the dark secrets of the characters’ pasts, leaving Bosch to question who he can really trust.

  From the start, the War on Drugs targeted Black, Brown, and Indigenous Americans already disadvantaged by a system stacked against them. Even now, as white Americans who largely escaped the fire capitalize on the legalization movement and a booming cannabis industry, their less fortunate peers continue to suffer the consequences of the systemic racism in policing and failed drug policy that fueled the original crisis. In Waiting to Inhale, Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and Tahira Rehmatullah issue a powerful call for a racial reckoning and provide a roadmap to redress this deep and abiding injustice. 
   
   
   
  Waiting to Inhale illuminates the stories of those on the front lines of the War on Drugs. As attitudes toward cannabis are shifting, now is the opportune time, Owusu-Bempah and Rehmatullah submit, to expunge cannabis convictions and make a place in the burgeoning legal cannabis market for Black and other underrepresented groups who have borne the brunt of harsh cannabis laws. 
   
   
   
  A powerful indictment of one of the worst social and political failures in the nation's history, Waiting to Inhale offers an equally powerful vision of the possibility of redemption. Communities can be rebuilt, and racist policies must be overturned in order to give way to a new era of justice

  The ups and downs on this roller coaster are called mania and depression. The extreme mood swings and the toll that they take can affect every part of someone’s life. They affect their quality of sleep and their energy levels. They affect their attention and focus while causing the inability to think clearly, and consequently, affect their behavior and judgment. 
  This book aims to educate the reader on the basics of Bipolar Disorder, including what the signs and symptoms are, how it’s diagnosed, what the different treatment methods are, and what the outlook for someone with Bipolar Disorder is like. 
  A Bipolar diagnosis is not at all a death sentence – with proper treatment as well as support and understanding from loved ones, people with Bipolar Disorder are typically able to live successfully, productive, and happy lives.

  Many people wonder why Jo starts a school for boys..even though Little Women mentions how much Jo loves boys many times. In Little Men, we can see how Jo and Friedrich wish that their boys grow to respect women, so could Jo starting a school for boys actually be a feminist act? 
  There are lots of people who say that Friedrich forced Jo to start a school or Friedrich forced Jo to become a teacher. None of that happens in the novel. So have these people even read Little Women? In the book, Jo is the one who says that she wants to start a school. Her exact words are Quote "even before I met my Fritz, I used to think how when I made my fortune and no one needed me at home, I'd hire a big house and pick up some poor fore-long little lads who hadn't any mothers and take care of them and make life jolly for them before it was too late. 
  I see so many of them going to ruin for want of help, and at the right minute. I love them, so to do anything for them, I seem to feel their wants and sympathize with their troubles. I know I should so like to be a mother to them". End quote. In the scene in the book where Jo explains her plans on starting school, she clearly says that what she wants to do is to have a flock of boys that she can nurture, she can take care of them and can be a mother to them and love them. A lot of people erase the maternal elements from Jo's character.
