Of Mice and Men is the Depression-era story of Lennie, an intellectually disabled farm hand, and his companion George, who struggle to make a living working moving from ranch to ranch with no place to call home. The men dream of owning a piece of land and being in control of their own destinies, despite the difficulties attaining that dream presents. Topics examined include loneliness, friendship, isolation, and hope.
Twelve Angry Men was inspired by Rose's own experiences serving as a juror on an important case. When the story opens, it appears as though the defendant, a young boy who has experienced abuse all his life, will be found guilty of murdering his father and sentenced to die. One lone juror forces the others to examine their opinions and the evidence to save the life of a potentially innocent young boy. Topics examined include courage, emotion, and discrimination.
Two Generals tells the story of Law Chantler, a St. Thomas resident who enlisted in officer's training during World War II and left Elgin County to participate in the D-Day landings and invasion of France in 1944. Written by Law's grandson, Scott Chantler, this graphic novel uses first-person documents and letters, as well as in-depth social and military research of the era. Topics examined include friendship, loss, as well as the strategies artists use to convey information and ideas in graphic forms.
Will's brother Shawn taught him a lot growing up, including all about "the rules," a strict code that drives an ongoing cycle of gang retribution and murder in Will's neighbourhood.

Leaving his apartment, Will's elevator ride to the street is marked by a stop at each floor, and each floor brings a visitation with a different ghost from Will's past. Topics examined include revenge, tradition, family, loss, and violence.
