    Lisa Mcmann's The Unwanteds

    Once I read Lisa McMann’s book ‘The Unwanteds’ I thought it was a great story for two main reasons. First the way Lisa McMann described the setting was amazing. She used vivid details that helped the reader visualize the setting clearly. Second, she created some pretty fascinating characters with interesting backstories. Alex, for example. was separated from his brother who was basically the only person he cared about. Then he got transferred over to another world which was the complete opposite of Quill. These two main things combined make for an compelling storyline.…

    Ashley Pelt's The Broken Pitcher

    I figured out the themes of each story. Because in the broken pitcher she finds a fairy and the pitcher turns into a live pitcher only for the Cinderella Character. The theme is important in some things but not everything is. The theme is Friends are always there for you. Another theme is in the other story Ashley Pelt. The theme is Never give up because she doesn't give up when she wanted to go to the party and she got to go. She had fun at the party but she had to leave before 12 o’clock. The Values for the poems are Trust your friends in The Broken Pitcher because she needed to because it was the only friend she would get. In Ashley Pelt the value is Be truthful and don't hide because she didn't tell him she was there until the last minute.…

    Kim Addonizio's 'What Do Women Want'

    Throughout this poem, the author uses forms of heuristics in order for the reader to better grasp the hidden meaning within the text. Kim Addonizio, the author of "What Do Women Want" portrays sameness in her text by repetitions "I want," "red dress," "walk," "I" and "me" are all examples of how sameness is represented. These words are expressed from the narrator's point of view, giving the reader an insight on how she feels. These repetitions in the poem express how the narrator was able to go against the norm and march to her own beat. By going against what is expected she was fighting society and its views because to her being judged was the least of her worries. She chose to stand out, and with the freedom she received, consequences followed.…

    Out & About With Poh By Ann Braybrooks

    As children grow, it is important to find materials that correspond to their growth in multiple areas in order to strengthen and further their development. Perhaps one of the best tools for accomplishing this task is books, which can be used to strengthen a child’s cognition, language, and understanding of the world around them. One such example is A Wonderful Wind from Disney’s “Out & About with Pooh: A Grow and Learn Library.” This book was written by Ann Braybrooks and demonstrates how a book, when written with appropriate developmental steps in mind, can be an excellent tool for helping children ages five to seven learn and develop in the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional domains. Before one even begins reading the story, the…

    Good Country People

    Good Country People

    1) My initial response to the story’s title is that the short story was going to be about a happy family that lived in the country and drama to make the story interesting. At the start, it seemed as if anybody that was from the country were “good” and never did anything wrong throughout their entire life. The story basically begins right after Mrs. Hopewell says, “the reason for her keeping them so long was that they were not trash. They were good country people” (185). That’s when I realized that I was completely wrong about what I thought this story was going to be about. Mrs. Hopewell, is the main character, and rents out part of her house to the Freeman’s. Throughout the story, Mrs. Hopewell’s daughter, Joy/Hulga ends up falling in love with a boy. He ends up playing her, and takes her wooden leg away from her, leaving her stranded and alone in a barn. My impression changed by the end of the story, because in the beginning good country people were made out to be basically angels that never did anything bad, but by the end the reader realizes that is not the case at all.…
