Good Dog Carl By Alexandra Day Analysis
When I was about a year old, my parents would calm me down at night with bedtime stories. I grew to expect and enjoy this routine as I got older. My book choices for a night time story were varied and moved from Dr. Seuss to a biography on Abraham Lincoln almost nightly. If I was to take a book, no matter the topic, off of our book shelves my parents would read it to me. As I got older, I relished in the fact that I could read the books myself by the age 5 and did not have to wait for bedtime to be read to. My favorite bedtime story that really sparked my interest was a book called, “Good Dog, Carl” by Alexandra Day. This almost wordless book dove into a story that showed a toddler and a Rottweiler getting into all sorts of mischief while

    Scottie Dog Summary

    As stated before the Scottie dogs helps determine accurate lumbar obliquity. If the superior and inferior articular process (ears and legs) are in profile which together make up the zygapophyseal joint spaces which that too will be demonstrated, and the pedicles (eyes) are seen halfway between the midpoint of the vertebral bodies and the lateral border of the vertebral bodies, you would have a properly positioned oblique lumbar (McQuillen Martensen, 2015, p. 428). When trying to determine if the patient is over or under rotated, the pedicle (eye)…

    Longmire By Andrea Smith Analysis

    I read the book and I also read the two other things you recommended. I was touched mainly by Elsie’s business and the article by Andrea Smith. I am a Cherokee and have always lived in the white world. I only have 1/16 Cherokee blood. I have seen documentaries about life on the reservation , but have never experienced it. I also have watched a series called Longmire set in town in Wyoming near an Indian reservation. They also talk about sex crimes against Indian women. I was so saddened reading Elsie’s story and the article by Andrea Smith. I understand how stupid people were in the way past , not saying it was right but they were ignorant. What I do not understand is how even in modern times the 1950’s, 1960’s and so on the way…

    A Literary Analysis Of 'My Kid's Dog'

    Ron Hansen’s short story, My Kid’s Dog, is meant to be a funny story about revenge, irony, and hatred. This typical story is about a man who hate his children’s dog. Throughout the story the father tells us about the dog from his experience and his relationship with it. The father also comes across as though he does not realize why his wife and kids are so fond of the dog and does not take kindly to the fact that the dog acts perfect around them. In the story the dad uses sarcasm and irony to explain to the audience the things the dog has done that makes him feel how he does towards him. In the beginning of the story the narrator made it very clear by stating, “My kid’s dog died. Sparky. I hated that dog. The…

    Goodnight Moon Analysis

    Self-consciousness is also discovered during early childhood in which children begin to have feelings of guilt, shame, or embarrassment. Fears start to take shape in a child’s life that can include the dark, monsters, or school. Children should be taught that some of the imaginary concepts should not be feared of such as the dark in which it is more fear of the unknown, and that by knowing by turning on the light switch, the things in the dark are not as frightening as imagined. Goodnight Moon is an excellent choice of book to teach children of the fears they could have including the dark or monsters which are common before bedtime. As objects are being named in the story, fears could also be brought up and discussed about which is an example of a symbol-real-world-relation. Also, it should come to surface of the understanding that school is to educate and assist in social development with peers, and not that the parent is there to abandon the child and will return routinely. Self- concept becomes more apparent starting in early childhood as the child grows which includes being aware of what one likes or dislikes, but not yet defining true personality traits. With Goodnight Moon, a parent could be actively involved with their child while reading and ask questions pertaining to the child’s likes and dislikes of certain objects and toys in the bedroom setting of the book and relate back to real life. In peer relationships, the child will exercise their social and emotional skills by understanding another child’s feelings and thoughts, and care for one…

    Head Start Research Paper

    The author of Child and Adolescent Development recommends reading with your child. You can help your child better understand the story by asking open ended questions like: What do you think will happen next? Can it really rain hamburgers? Another suggestion is having ritual nighttime readings. You can try to have your child create an alternate ending to their favorite story: this allows for your child to build their imagination and vocabulary at the same time. Children learn best through their everyday experiences in play with the people they love and trust, and when they are having…

    A lot of books I can remember reading made my childhood so great. Growing up as a child, going to the library was one of my most favorite hobbies to do. My mother would always take me there and she would read to me anything from Junie B. Jones to Arthur books, Dr. Seuss, Charlottes’ Web. Dr. Seuss was one of my most favorites. Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham will always be a childhood favorite. At the library, my mother would read word by word very slowly to make sure I’d understand what she was reading. Age 3-5, I would take part in a summer program at the library that involves reading. The volunteers who were…

    What the Dog Saw Essay

    When I was first assigned to read What the Dog Saw I thought to myself, “Wow this book could be a little dull. This is my first college assignment and I have to read nineteen essays that are written by this Malcolm Gladwell guy of whom I have never heard of. I thought college work was actually going to be interesting, apparently not!” After getting the book and just reading through the different topics Gladwell had written about I began to realize that my assumption was correct. This book was going to be boring. However, I decided to get a feel for the book by reading the introduction. I found that Gladwell was chastising humans in saying that our instinct “is to assume that most things are not interesting” and change to something better (Gladwell xix). Was this guy reading my mind or something? Just a while ago the exact thought of passing over this book crossed my mind. I decided to give the guy a chance so I was determined to read on. As I read I realized that Gladwell had this unique “talent” of making anything sound interesting. Normally I would discard an essay about ketchup, birth control, or hair dye because all of these are everyday things that seem a little boring to me. Gladwell, however, finds a way to draw in the reader and make these topics interesting. I believe the keys to his unique “talent” are finding the perfect situations to draw comparisons, he “becomes” the person of whom he is writing about, and he gives everyone the benefit of the doubt (a chance to be interesting). With these three elements anyone can tackle the problem of something appearing to be boring or dull.…

    How To Read And Write A Narrative Essay

    They never asked me what do I want to read about or what I want to learn about until my 7th grade year when we had to read a book, take a test on it, and then write a book report on it. When I was listening to my teacher describe the assignment I was waiting for the circumstances. Then she said anything we want to read and do a book report on. I was dumbfounded when I went to the library because I had no idea on where to start. So I just started going to random areas of the library and seeing anything that just popped out at me and begged me to read it. Finally one did, and to this day still my favorite book I have ever read, “Iron Marshall” by Louis L’Amour. I fell in love with this book. I read it every night before I went to sleep and every day during school when I had down time during class. What drew me in was that there was action in every chapter and the story was in such good detail. I now know the saying that the book is better than the movie. And it is all because of “Iron Marshall”. After reading that book I had to see what else Louis L’Amour had because of how much I fell in love with the first one. Oh he did and to my surprise I can’t pick a favorite one! I read every single book he had in the library by the end of my sophomore year in high…

    Literacy Narrative

    At my usual bedtime, 8:00 PM, I would not go to sleep; I would stay up reading as long as I could keep my eyelids open. When my parents would come and check on me, they would tell me to turn off my light and go to sleep, but after they left again, I would just continue to read. After several times of insubordination my parents would get upset and take my lamp that was on my nightstand. I always found that peculiar and a bit contradicting. I would think, “How can someone get frustrated for doing something intellectual, like reading?” Often parents have to yell at their children to read, and mine were telling me to stop. Eventually my parents realized it was contradicting to hold me back from reading. I took that as an advantage, and I read books for hours. I would get little to no sleep, but it was was always completely worth it.…

    Literacy Narrative

    Over the years, my interest and awareness regarding reading and writing have varied from time to time. I remember my mother reading bedtime stories to me as a child and actually painting my personal pictures to what she was saying. Once I was old enough to read the stories myself, I would go back and compare my mental pictures with those that were in the book. During my elementary days, I found the novice level of reading and writing to still be interesting. Everything from transferring imaginary stories I had thought of onto a sheet of paper to tell the entire class about my church league team winning the basketball championship the previous Saturday, I thoroughly enjoyed writing and felt I had a personal connection to it.…
