    The Perfect Tree In Kindergartner's Tragic Tree

    For instance, Mr. Freeman reserves the rest of the linoleum blocks for her, but she isn’t sure why because “a kindergartner could carve a better tree. [She’s] stopped counting the linoleum blocks [she’s] ruined” (Anderson 103). The linoleum blocks are symbols of her relationships with people and she feels as if she has ruined them all and they cannot be fixed. In addition, Rachel, Melinda’s ex-best friend, has been nothing but cruel to her and even Heather, a new girl from Minnesota, says she doesn’t want to be friends with her anymore. As a result, Melinda begins to quit doing her work and then starts cutting class. Both of these events end badly- a meeting with the principal, guidance counselor, and her parents. The consequence if she skips school again is MISS, or Merryweather in-school suspension. Melinda’s life has become a downward spiral but she is the only one who can fix…

    Ramona the Brave Book Report

    Six year old Ramona may be young, but she prides herself on being brave. The books starts off with some older boys teasing her sister, Beezus, and Ramona stands up for her. However, Ramona does not receive the praise she feels she deserves. Beezus ends up mad at her for embarrassing her in front of the boys. The book progresses with Ramona starting first grade, and having a new teacher, Mrs. Griggs, who she feels doesn’t like her. Her classmates tease Ramona and don’t believe her when she tells about how her house has a hole in it and isn’t given the opportunity to explain how the hole will be her new room. She also has an issue with Susan, who copies off Ramona’s paper owl and she has difficulty dealing with how the students and teacher perceive her. She then destroys the classmate’s owl, and runs out of the classroom. Ramona then runs home after school to put everything behind her, but she slips on the wet sidewalk and skins her knee. Ramona's mother calls her brave for not crying and announces that the extra bedroom is finished and that Ramona will be the first to sleep there. Ramona tries to sleep in her new room while Mr. and Mrs. Quimby go to school for parent teacher night. She leaves a note asking her mother to come see her when she gets home.

    Eleven by Sandra Cisneros

    A short story ‘Eleven’ by Sandra Cisneros dwells upon the memories of an eleven-year-old girl that spends her birthday at school and gets into a discomforting situation with her teacher because of her lack of confidence. In spite of the multiple colloquial phrases and childish expressions, this is a very philosophical piece of writing. It touches upon such global and adult issues as experience, freedom, aging, life and death, knowledge and restrictions. The symbolism is very sophisticated here – under the veiled mask of a simple classroom occasion the writer sets multiple questions. Do people gather enough experience with age? What secret knowledge and power is revealed after each birthday? Can a simple life situation drive one at an older age more efficiently than real calendar time does? The complexity of an eleven-year-old girl (who is almost a teenager, by the way) is derived from the first-person style of narration. The author tries to hide her real wisdom and age through the expressions like “little animal noises” but it still seems not convincing because so many serious questions are being asked in each paragraph of the story. She is very capable in understanding her own emotions and thoughts – an ability that is not very typical for such a young age is eleven. Her descriptions of the surrounding world are very clear and comprehensive; the usage of metaphors is quite mature in spite of the phrasing.…

    Birthdays In The Giver

    Some of their presents are taken away at certain ages when they receive new presents. Opposingly, in the current American society, presents are usually wrapped, citizens typically receive multiple gifts, rather than one, they are a surprise, and specific for that individual. Lastly, the birthday celebration is similar and different between Jonas’s society and in the current American society. In Jonas’s society, the entire community attends the celebration and there is no privacy or specialty to individuals. “The entire community attends the Ceremony each year. For the parents, it meant two days’ holiday from work; they sat together in the huge hall. Children sat with their groups until they went, one by one, to the stage” (41). Instead, in the modern day society, birthdays are celebrated with family and friends often with a celebratory dessert. Rather than a community ceremony, it is an individual birthday party. In both societies, birthdays are celebrated, however with different traditions and customs which separate the distinctively different worlds. The knowledge gained from the novel, shows the differences and alikeness between Jonas’s dystopian society and the modern day American…
