    The Rainbow Fish By Marcus Pfister

    There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.” This is a famous quote said by Marcel Proust. Books over the centuries have had an influential impact on the lives of many. Arguably, there are none more influential than children’s books. Children’s books contain important life lessons and teach many children the basic values they will hold for the remainder of their lives. Examples of the best range from the well-known Dr. Seuss books, to the always-popular Winnie the Pooh books. Although those are historically popular, The Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister, is one that should be kept in mind. With it’s enticing illustrations, simple and descriptive context, and lesson it portrays, the children’s book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister should be considered for a spot on the “Top 100 Children’s Books” list.…

    Provide Displays in Schools

    Our school policy for displays is quite dated and maybe updated soon. It describes why we have displays in school and how this impacts on the children. There is a section on organising and actively involving children in the displayed work. We have no rules on backing or mounting. It is left to whoever is doing the display to pick and choose their colours and mounts. We are asked to take care as to how we secure items on the display (we don’t like drawing pins) and to keep in the restraints of finance. Different class are allocated different areas of the school for their displays. We can put up wall displays, table top and shelve displays. We can make mobiles to display work.…

    It there a clear divide between childrens books

    By critical analysis it can become a very complicating task to define a child’s book. There are many fundamental definitive factors that can be found in books that have been written for Children. For instance, if we take the example of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe C.S Lewis 1950 . Universally it is recognised as a book for children. It contains the inherent facets of a children’s book. Often a typical children’s book will have a child protagonist. In the classic novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe C.S Lewis. C.S Lewis has not just one child protagonist but four. Very commonly we find the child protagonist in the story is an orphan. Again we can see C.S Lewis has shown four children that are away from their parents and the typical family nucleus. Moreover, examples of orphanage can be seen in the classic novel of The Jungle book by Rudyard Kipling 1894. In The Jungle book the child protagonist is an orphan found in the jungle floating in a basket by a panther.…

    Sustainability in Hawaii

    In 1990, NASA launched the Voyager I. As it left the solar system and traveled on for another six billion kilometers away from Earth, it took the famous photograph, ‘Pale Blue Dot.’ In this iconic photography, Earth is portrayed as an insignificant, fragile speck in the vast and endless expanse of the cosmos. Nevertheless, on that tiny pixel lay all of the wonders we humans have ever known - wonders that are now threatened by human development. As pollution, global warming, climate change, habitat destruction and exploitation of resources threaten the “pale blue dot,” the demand for sustainable development that meets our present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs grows every greater. However, sustainable practices promise a future where economic and environmental needs can coexist in harmony. Sustainability calls for protection of our natural world for generations to come – this has always been the challenge of environmental stewardship. It is the responsibility of our generation and community to right some of our wrongs against nature, to learn to work together to seek common solutions, and to move forward embracing a new brand of sustainability: that of the future.…

    Catcher In The Rye Persuasive Essay

    The most beautiful things in this world are not tangible, the things you can only feel with your heart, the ones unexplainable to the rest. The power to inflict emotions upon an audience with just a story is a power I have always wanted to possess. I love the great storytellers but never believed I could be more than a consumer. For my senior project I will be creating a children’s story book. I have always loved reading children’s books, even now in my teenage years. Don’t get me wrong, I like Catcher In The Rye and To Kill A Mockingbird as much as the next person, but there's something about a kids book that you just can’t get enough of. In a children’s book, you get to explore the whimsical made up worlds and characters that make you feel young again. Completely engaging yourself into that time or place when everything was easy with no worries.…

    Western society was broken up in estates. These estates were the Church, the Nobility and Peasantry. Imagine contemporary western society has now been divided into three estates. I would say that it will be broken up as follows: the Political class, the Wealthy class and the Working class. Although we lived in the same country we were broken down into estates.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of We Go To The Moon

    He starts off by stating numerous historical facts and statistics, the most fascinating of which includes a timeline of the progress of mankind in the past 50,000 years, condensed to 50 years. The fact that most of the developments of mankind are crammed in the final few years of that “50 year” condensate perceptibly demonstrates the marked acceleration of scientific and technological development. The credibility of this information adds to the logos aspect of the speech, but it does not weaken the pathos factor. He ties these advancements of mankind to feelings of pride, awe, and marvel. When he praises America for never failing to lead the way in multiple arenas, his speech is colored with shades of patriotism, further harnessing emotional appeal and amplifying its pathos. He later reels in his audience by adding where America falls in the field of science and moves on to space exploration. When he arrives at a comfortable middle ground in his speech, he plunges into detailed logistics and implications of a manned trip to the moon. He no longer focuses on capturing his audience’s attention with appealing and exalting statements. Instead he candidly and honestly brings forth the implications of this project. He also mentions how the program should be given “high national priority” and how citizens should assist towards providing for it monetarily and bear part of…

    Children's Pastime Today and Yesterdays

    Children’s Pastimes Today and Yesterday When thinking of days gone by, I am reminded of a time when life seemed less complicated with ample opportunity to be creative and happy. My childhood offered hours of entertainment. It included imaginative play, exercise, family, and wholesome living. Sprinkle that mix with a bit of mischief and the season of my childhood was unforgettable. For the youth of today; growing up is not so different when it comes to the titles of experiences. They, no doubt, will be able to include entertainment, family, and play as highlights; yet, for many their journey is missing the carefree creative element of the great outdoors. Outdoors meant play and a game that involved a B.B. gun war was the game of choice for my brothers, my cousins, and me. Our adventure included forts that we made in the sheep shed, in the trees, and various other spots. We would sneak around looking for our next target and the right opportunity to shoot them in the butt. After our target was located, there were a couple pumps to the B. B. gun, the lock and cock, and then the fun of watching our victim dance around holding his bottom. Boy was it entertaining! In the winter we would sled and build snow forts and in the summer we would ride our bikes and horses, swim in the pond, and play cowboys and Indians. When I think about it, it seems like we were always coming up with a really bad idea that had the potential of getting someone hurt or would get us all into some serious trouble. However, even though we were wild and a bit adventurous, nothing we did was mean or malicious; it was a time when kids could be kids. Our imagination and energy was running full steam ahead, which allowed plenty of exercise. We stayed active because our only other option was television and the three channels of news for our viewing pleasure. When we did watch television, we loved the Mario video games and the occasional movie that was rented from the local store. Today kids spend a…
