Captured (The Captive Series Book 1)

Product Information

Large tracts of the book concern the Indian tribal and White Germanic (spoke German, not English) settlers' different meetings for compromise and treaty pow-wow. Most of the time neither side had any idea who the other side's authority covered in the first place (usually it was just 1 faction of a single tribe) nor did they ever understand each others' languages. This non fiction focuses on the trauma, experiences, and more during the time of the conflict. The book begins from when Jerry was taken prisoner, to when he blinked Morse code “Torture” during an interview, to the connections and secret codes he helped the other POW’s form. This YA book is well researched and documented and parts of it deal with the controversy of Americans not actually declaring it a war and how this effected the POW’s rights. On November 23, 1962, the Hills attended a meeting at the parsonage of their church, where Captain Ben H. Swett of the United States Air Force was a guest speaker. Having had an interest in hypnosis, the Hills approached Swett privately and related their strange encounter. Swett was particularly interested in the "missing time" of the Hills' account. The Hills asked if he would hypnotize them to recover their memories, but Swett declined and cautioned them against going to an amateur hypnotist, such as himself.

[27] Post-hypnosis publicity and Barney's and Betty's death [ edit ] Don't let the title fool you, this is not just a single story. There are numerous stories about abduction on the western frontier in The Captured, and most of them are written with all the enticement of a newspaper headline w/photo. The general rule was that they wouldn't tell the captors anything but that if they couldn't withstand the torture anymore, they were to share things that were either false or inconsequential. Jerry had either the highest or next highest rank in every prisoner camp he was part of, so he told the men how to proceed. He followed that rule but he also told every man that the primary objective was to go home "with honor" and they all had to decide what that meant for them. Recovered children usually had traumatic readjustments. It took them far longer to relearn the white man’s ways than it did for them to become “Indianized”. Young men struggled to fit in with their white families; many could not, and returned to the reservations. They did not fit fully in either world.

First off I would like to start by saying that the detail and story line of the book is 100% outstanding. The author could make the reader feel like they were the characters inside the book with the descriptions of what the characters felt and what they thought, however every detail in a violent scene made you very grateful that you weren’t, which left you wondering what you would have done if you were the one in that situation. On one side I wish that Jerry Denton had had more of a factor of getting out of the Vietnamese prison but on the other side I liked that the book stayed realistic. A realistic aspect is his new thankfulness to his family and his god. In a letter to his wife he writes “When I return my life will be better lived for Him [his god] and for you” Later in the end of the book, the happy homecoming ending made reading the whole book worth it with the flood of joyful emotions that make you grateful for the friends and family surrounding you.

There aren’t as many trees as there were before, is what the scientists say. They say our world used to be green. Our clouds used to be white. Our sun was always the right kind of light. But I have very faint memories of that world. I don’t remember much from before. The only existence I know now is the one I was given. An echo of what used to be. Regardless of whether you're a young adult diving into the genre, an adult who appreciates the raw and resonant themes of YA literature, or simply someone looking for an engaging story — the Shatter Me series is a journey worth embarking on. Jim Macdonald, a resident of the area in which the Hills claimed to have been abducted, has produced a detailed analysis of their journey which concludes that the episode was provoked by their misperceiving an aircraft warning beacon on Cannon Mountain as a UFO. [37] [38] Macdonald notes that from the road the Hills took, the beacon appears and disappears at exactly the same time the Hills describe the UFO as appearing and disappearing. The remainder of the experience is ascribed to stress, sleep deprivation, and false memories "recovered" under hypnosis. After reading Macdonald's recreation, UFO expert Robert Sheaffer writes that the Hills are the " poster children" for not driving when sleep deprived. [39] This novel helps to bridge understanding for why Plains Indians carried out these acts, as well as provide a deeper comparison of white and indigenous cultures.

He was the only one of the family to survive what Francois Maurois, in his introduction, calls the "human holocaust" of the persecution of the Jews, which began with the restrictions, the singularization of the yellow star, the enclosure within the ghetto, and went on to the mass deportations to the ovens of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. There are unforgettable and horrifying scenes here in this spare and sombre memoir of this experience of the hanging of a child, of his first farewell with his father who leaves him an inheritance of a knife and a spoon, and of his last goodbye at Buchenwald his father's corpse is already cold let alone the long months of survival under unconscionable conditions. Well documented, well-researched, this is an intriguing look at a true American Patriot who endured the most horrible experience during wartime. From the magnetic pull of its intricate characters to the compelling narrative full of twists and turns, this series delivers on all fronts. It speaks to the human experience — the struggles, triumphs, love and heartbreak — making it deeply relatable, even amidst the dystopian setting and superhuman abilities. The most special part for me, is that the life of a very good Irish woman is captured, and her legacy will live on forever and she will always create smiles on people’s faces. The gift of a book is to capture the magic of a time, a moment or a person and I think I’ve achieved this and what a special human I was so fortunate to write about, live with and most importantly love.”

Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience by Betty Hill's niece Kathleen Marden further explored Fuller's themes along with scientist Stanton T. Friedman. Marden, who sat on the board of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) for 10 years, knew Betty well and had spoken with her at great length about the encounter. [36] Rebutting the Hills [ edit ] Her tasks were never as severe as her male counterparts and as a female captive she occupied a unique and sometimes antithetical position, relying on her chaste innocence at times whilst in other situations, asserting her entitlements as a female. She holds on to her frown for a moment longer than is honest, her eyes narrowing in a show of frustration that is pure fraud. She compounds this farce by clutching an article of clothing to her chest, feigning modesty. Pearse, Steve (2011). Set Your Phaser to Stun. Xlibris Corporation. p.355. ISBN 978-1465343369.
