If I were to write a book, in which a child who was beaten by his farther, had to escape with his mother and brother whom his farther also beat; a child who cheated his way through school; a young man who weighed 300 pounds and yet still turned his life around - you might not believe it entirely plausible. Well Goggin's went on to lose 100 pounds in 3 months to be able to enter navy seal training, BUDS. He then went on to complete hell week, the physical training section of the course, on three separate occasions - having to leave twice on medical grounds - completing his third round of training on broken legs. Hell week is a section through which around 90% of applicants commonly drop out. During his military career he lost some of his friends in operation red wings, the story of  Lone Survivor tells the tale, after which he wanted to help these friends families by raising money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation . To do so he looked for the toughest race in the world ...

The popular trilogy of books, soon to be released as movies starring Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley, by author Patrick Ness are a classic YA dystopian future hit.  They include all the classic workings you would expect from a hit young adult novel - a challenge they need to overcome; a journey where the protagonists inevitably fall in love, you get the idea...  A classic but nothing to special, right? As good as they are, you wouldn't think would be breaking any boundaries of literature.  But they do - at least - in my opinion. You see these books pose another interesting element. One that is not included in the likes of The Hunger Games or Maze Runner books. On the New World, the planet where some humans have emigrated to, everyone can hear everybody else's thoughts.  This led my friends and I to an interesting debate. Like most people, I assume, they thought a world like this would be horrible. It is certainly presented as horrible for humans when they first arrive. ...

Ben eltons rip off of dan browns wildly successful book style I was reading to kill a president -the first, of a now trilogy, of books - by Ben Elton when I was struck by the fact they used a writing style becoming ever more popular these days. Interlinking multiple characters stories lines is a technique popularised by hugely successful author Dan brown in the majority of his thrillers. Principally it allows him to end virtually every chapter with a cliff a hanger, keeping you hooked.  The structure goes: one chapter- end on cliffhanger, second chapter- keep reading to reach the point of the initial cliff hanger- end this chapter on another cliff hanger. Then repeat.  By the time the cliff hanger is solved the new one has already made you forget that the reason you read on in the first place is to get an answer to the cliff hanger of the first chapter. Ok so this seems like a great technique to keep readers interested.  The good thing about this is ...

The new age of fame ǀ the power of the individuals TikTok – you’ve probably heard of it by now. If you haven’t then know your children or grandchildren almost certainly have. In the last few decades social media has evolved rapidly: from myspace to Facebook to Instagram and snapchat, Tiktok appears to be the next phase in that evolution. With 800m active users and a company valuation of over 100 billion dollars, the app by technology behemoth ByteDance is seemingly unstoppable, you wouldn’t be stupid to believe that this rocket ship is bound for the stars. Therefore, it might be surprising to hear that over the course of just a few days the application went from an average review score of 4.5/5 down to just 1 star in India. Who on earth has the power to change the course of such a huge company? That is the question many people were wondering. As it turns out this was all sparked by a feud between two popular Indian creators, a tiktoker and a youtuber. India today explained ...
