Though the look at societal racism, as in the prison system, is well explained, it’s the racism Nora and Lizzie discover in themselves, and their desire to change it, that will linger with readers. Messner ( The Exact Location of Home) shines a light on the ways that people are blind to their own privilege while quick to judge others. Narrated by all three girls through letters, recorded conversations, and texts, this is an effective, authentically wrought look at how fear and ignorance can lead people to treat those of different races or from different places with suspicion. Elidee’s experience of racism as one of the only black people in town makes Nora and Lizzie rethink just how welcoming Wolf Creek is. But after two inmates escape from the local maximum-security prison, where Nora’s father is the superintendent and Elidee’s brother is an inmate, a new side of the friendly community is slowly revealed. Best friends Nora and Lizzie, as well as new girl Elidee, imagine sharing tales of ice cream and swimming. BREAKOUT is a long book, and a complex one because the story is told entirely through documents, so this chart was a bit of a monster. In Wolf Creek, a small town in upstate New York, middle school students learn that they’ll develop a time capsule project as a summer letter-writing assignment. Across the top, I write each chapter number (or document number, in the case of BREAKOUT) and down the left hand column, I make a list of all the characters, themes, and issues I want to track as I revise.

But Perkins learns the US wanted to secure oil and political leverage in the region helping the country’s population was a distant concern. The US purportedly wanted to fight communism. Perkins learns more about Indonesia as a successful example of these policies. Along with a diplomatic advantage, the US gains an economic advantage because these less developed countries (LDC in the book) become beholden to US companies like Bechtel, Halliburton, and Boeing. According to Perkins, some of these past favors included a favorable UN vote, access to oil extraction, or an agreement to build a military base within the country’s borders. The creditors have substantial US ties, and when the US wants favorable treatment in certain areas, it can have its representatives deal (some would say exhort) favorable outcomes from these poor countries. Once countries inevitably default on the loans, they come under the control of The World Bank or The International Monetary Fund. The sites include dams, power plants, airports, and highways.

He sat down at his desk and began researching. The carpenter showed up in a plain white van. They told him they could never find the carpenter the neighbors spoke of. He spoke to the original detectives on the case. The following morning, he grabbed the case file and went back to the office. From the looks of the case files, there was no interview conducted with the carpenter. There were multiple mentions of a carpenter she had remodeling the house. He scoured over it for hours before finding something wrong. He signed the case out of the archives and brought it home with him. Interviews were conducted of her loved ones and neighbors, but nothing ever came of it. He was drawn into a fifteen-year-old case. His first day as a detective he was assigned to look over the cold case files. He took the detective exam after discovering there were a few cases he worked on that went unsolved. Cases could sit for years until someone looked them over again, finding things someone else had missed and were able to make a break in the case.Ĭalab Johnson was a rookie detective who spent five years as a beat cop. Most of the cases went back into storage because the leads went dry or were dead ends. They created reports, went on ride alongs, logged evidence, and looked over cold cases.
