The graves were broken into because the family couldn’t afford to pay the rent. Everyone knows that story, I found myself looking away” (P.180). An example of this is when Raphael, Gardo and Rat pass the broken concrete boxes on the poor side of the cemetery with no bodies in them “we past so many graves, saddest were the open ones, the ones that were broken open. The Cemetery in the book Trash uses a big wall to divide the rich and the poor. Lastly Andy Mulligan shows it by using the poor to do the rich peoples dirty work and get it done faster. Secondly he shows how the police can do what they like and treat the poor like they are nothing. Firstly the enormously large wall to separate the rich people to the poor people in the cemetery is a clear example of this divide. Andy Mulligan shows the divide between the rich and the poor in many different ways. “But when you look like me, you can’t even get a ride very often, not when you're alone you get kicked off like you’re a curse” (P.117). Discuss how Andy Mulligan represents the divide between the rich and poor in Trash.

Six migrations - precipitated in many cases by physical violence the gradual growth of an authoritarian system with elements of communistic living the most problem of plural marriage unsolved - and the way opened for the building of a new Zion - such is the story. Brodie (19151981), raised in Utah, was a biographer and history professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. The tragic pattern of his leadership - tragic in its recurrent catastrophes - was offset by the fulfillment of his dream of leadership, which ended in martyrdom, leaving behind him a foundation on which Brigham Young built soberly. In presenting his early years, the biographer weighs the evidence, putting-in final analysis no credence in the actuality of divine vision, but showing how Joseph Smith, little by little, let his imagination, his gift of hypnotism, his innate brilliance build, from local superstition and legends of his times, a system that was bigger than he knew. Winner of the Knopf Literary Fellowship, Dawn Brodie has here told the story of Joseph Smith, Mormon leader, with an objective fairness, an appreciation of his magnetism, his potentialities, a recognition of his great gifts and great weaknesses and a full recognition of his achievement in establishing, not just another sect, but a way of life that has held his followers for over a century, much of the time against hate, misunderstanding, violent persecution. Brigham Young succeeded Joseph Smith as leader of the LDS Church and announced the practice publicly in Utah. In fact the whole back story and preparations make up more than 2/3 of the book.

His boyhood neighborhood was known for sex, drugs and violence. "People like me don't usually dare to dream of a career in music," Kadhiravel says. He loved making up lyrics and rapping them to his friends, but he didn't even know that what he was doing was rap until a friend introduced him to the genre. His mother worked as a cleaner, his father did tailoring on a street corner to make ends meet. Kadhiravel himself grew up in TP Chatram, a slum in Chennai in a 10 x 10 square foot home.
