    Looking from an external perspective, the vast majority of Mem Fox’s projects center around bettering children, helping them learn to kind and helpful members of society. Though this is achieved through several different approaches, there are some techniques that are showcased in most of her books that help to guide the reader through her thought process. Appealing to the audience is a centrally important idea throughout literature where one's case is pleaded to the audience. Killingsworth defines Appeal in two ways, one of which is, “..’to plead one's case,’ usually before a higher authority.”(Killingsworth) where the reader is the one being beseeched by the author. In Mem Fox’s books, the audience generally consists of younger children, as the books themselves are predominantly picture books as that is at the upper bound of the children’s range of proximal development. By using a simple rhyme scheme, repetition, such as in Zoo Looking, and facial expression, and movement, such…

    Northrop Frye’s concept in A Natural Perspective discusses a peculiar, yet often seen, occurrence within Shakespeare’s comedies, which is the alienation of minor characters. Typically, the minor character’s isolation is emphasized in the play by the prominent contrast of the other main character’s joy during a celebration, and Frye further explains how the audience should pay close attention to these characters by stating,“there is always a part of us that remains a spectator, detached and observant, aware of other nuances and values” (125). The alienated minor character adds a darker element to Shakespeare's comedies; and in Twelfth Night, the playwright uses Antonio to convey this theme by having him be excluded from the others. More specifically, Antonio’s exclusion is brought to the audience’s attention because he does not end up in a relationship by the end of the final act, unlike the majority of the characters. Due to his harmless infatuation with Sebastian, Antonio is unnecessarily alienated by the new world formed at the end of the play.…

    "Just simply teaching a child to read is not enough; we must provide them something that is worth reading.

    “There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million,” author Walt Streightiff once stated. In the perspective of the child, no matter from what century the child may have been or is from, the world is filled with mystery and new adventures every day. Children’s literature, since the nineteenth century, has been capturing the world in which children see with their own eyes. The imagination, curiosity, and adventure of children are portrayed by authors who remember what common thoughts and questions they once had at the young age which they set their main characters to be in their stories. Whether it is a chapter book for children ages ten and older, a beginner chapter book for eight…

    My silent reading book was a fictional novel for young adults, Looking for Alaska by John Green. While reading this novel, it brought laughter, emotion, and anger the main character felt over to me. John Green has a very good interpretation of teenage thought and feeling.

    A person’s life is full of tragedies and experiences. When people try to do or achieve something, they are forced to face hard times in their lives, which later become experiences of life. For others, those experiences leave some morals to learn. Something similar to this happens with Timothy Treadwell and his death which leaves a message for the world. Timothy Treadwell goes to Alaska to live with grizzly bears where he spends thirteen summers of his life. According to him, he is the only friend and care taker of bears but the reality is different from his thoughts. As he thinks himself differently as a care taker of bears, he goes against the nature without thinking about its system of operation, crosses many boundaries and tries to create humans’ world where he expects everything he wants. Timothy Treadwell’s life shows a very deep relationship between his life and nature. In this essay, I will write about the relation of Treadwell to nature. I will argue that Treadwell tries to control the nature, crosses boundaries between human and nature and creates his own world. Moreover, I will focus on his death and how he ironically becomes the part of nature he disagrees with.…

    Thinking back to the summer when I first signed up for this class, I thought I would just be spending a semester reading my favorite childhood books to learn about the process of constructing a children’s book. I never would have thought that I would learn so much about how to analyze literature and choose books that would develop the cultural understanding of a child. Also, I didn’t realize how much I would have learned about my own experiences reading books. Everything I learned from this class I hope that I can apply to my everyday life.…
