Have you ever read a writing and grammar textbook? Most likely, you haven't. Or if you have, you probably read it only because some teacher forced you. With that in mind, I wrote the following essays in an attempt to teach writing and grammar in a nontraditional and nonthreatening way.
Pickpocketing is not honest, but it is lucrative. That is, until 17-year-old Charles Main gets caught, and the judge gives the vagrant a choice: go to prison or join the Army. In basic training, he is amazed (and confused) by all the people who actually volunteered to be here. But he soon befriends Carrie Borden, one of the first female cavalry scouts in the U.S. Army, who helps him understand what selfless really means. Deployed together in the fight against ISIS, their platoon quickly gains a reputation of mythological proportions.
Pat Devaney will discuss his experiences on the Camino de Santiago in Europe. If you've considered doing this hike, or are the least bit curious, Pat is the the person to talk to. He has good and sound recommendations. You just might find yourself thinking differently about the Camino. You may be surprised to hear about the many ways to experience the Camino.
Pat will also be signing his book 2 Million Steps which recounts his travels along the Camino.
