Independent Reading Selection Essay
My independent reading selection is different from my other reading selections because, it's a completely different genre. It's a nonfiction book. The other books that I've read were fiction or fantasy. I can't really think of anything that my independent reading selection had in common with the other books I've read this unit but, my current reading selection and another both had pictures in them. They also both involved royalty.

"I was grieved at the first to see her in this plight: for in all my lifetime before I never knew her fetch a sigh but when the queen of Scots was beheaded."

This quote shows that the book involved royalty.

"Anna, the first Queen of Scots and Queen of England, James's remarkable wife is wearing pearls that had

    Reflective Essay On The Reading Cycle

    Over the course of the semester, I was able to work with a fifth grade student, Luke, on his reading. Luke is currently reading at an end of first grade level. At the beginning of the semester, when I first began working with Luke, he was reading at an early first grade level. He has shown much improvement over the three cycles that I worked with him on. Not only did he improve with his reading, but also I saw his confidence increase after each cycle.…

    Creative Writing: Queen Elizabeth I

    “Your majesty.” Catherine shot a glance up at her grandmother-in-law, but then looked away, unable to meet the Queen's piercing eyes. The 143 year old was seven feet tall, her neck downwards surrounded by a dark synthetic body suit. Her face was a wrinkled prune and her eyes replaced by black artificial beads. “I think you know why I'm here.” Catherine said. The queen's smile had vanished. She said nothing. “You have reigned for over one hundred years.”…

    unit 1 reading essay

    Both texts use presentational and language devices in order to promote light water valley and Lego land. The light water valley brochure uses informal language and an exciting tone to help persuade teachers in to organising reward trips. In contrast the Lego land promotional video is set to persuade parents/ families so the adults can relax in the hotel or lobby whilst the children enjoy themselves, playing in the resort. Therefore is suitable for all ages. One effective presentational device used in the Lego Land promotional video is the logo. The logo is near to the sun which connotes that the Lego land is in another dimension. Furthermore, the logo shows Lego Land is so irresistible and so wonderful that it cannot be contrasted to earth and that Lego Land has taken us a life of its own. It is further enhanced by the way that a flag is conserved on the logo. This is similar to when an astronaut reaches the moon they put their flag to indicate their journey and accomplishment and this is linked to the way that, by reaching Lego Land and experiencing Lego Land it gives an individual a sense of triumph. This is compared with the way that the Light Water Valley brochure has a logo which has swirls that appear to be coming out of it, which makes the reader link it to a portal or vortex. The effect this has is that it seems like a portal to another world or dimension, therefore sending the message that Light Water Valley is ‘out of this world’. Also it gives the audience a sense of sovereignty and freedom and makes the reader assume they are about to go on a journey. These logos are vital because they help the audience to identify these businesses with small images. This brand credit means that the logos get stuck in the audience’s head and help them to keep in mind the business from a small clue, the logo. The Light Water Valley logo is a bright oval shape with multi-coloured lettering and a simple explicit drawing of a roller coaster in the middle. While this theme…

    Literary Devices In Queen Elizabeth

    Queen Margaret tells Queen Elizabeth to reflect on all the things she once had, and look at what she is now when she says, “Decline all this, and see what now thou art.” Then Queen Margaret continues to maintain control by not allowing Queen Elizabeth to do this herself, but rather tells her how she’s fallen from grace. She starts by saying “For happy wife, a most distressed widow; for joyful mother, one that wails the name.” She continues in the fashion for seven lines in total making sure not to miss anything. The parallel structure shows how drastic Queen Elizabeth’s fall truly is, how she went from a position of power and honor to a state of grief, mourning, and fear. However, this doesn’t only speak to Queen Elizabeth’s displacement, but also how anyone in power can lose it with ease. In another work of Shakespeare, Richard II, we see a very similar structure with someone in a very similar position as Queen Elizabeth. They were both sovereign but now must face the fact that they’ve lost or will lose their crown to someone else who can also be removed just as easily as they were. Both literary features speak to the frailty of sovereignty, and so far, it’s only a lesson that people who’ve been dethroned have been able to learn. At this point in the chronical of the Wars of the Roses numerous kings and queens have rushed to the throne, and they’ve momentarily been at the height of power, to lose everything just as quickly, or as Queen Margaret puts it, “One heaved a-high to be hurled down…

    Like most kids might say, I don’t remember not being able to read. For as long as I can remember, I was always reading. I very often saw my parents reading to my younger sister or just to themselves. My love for reading has changed a lot over the years, but I believe that’s why I learned so early. I wanted to be just like my parents or other adults that read on their own whenever they have time. I thought I would enjoy it, and I was right.…

    Walt Whitman's Song Of Myself

    I enjoy reading “Song of Myself” poem from the book in this assignment. Whitman is a good example of American identity because he has experienced it. America is one of the country consist a lots of different ethnicities like African American, Asian, Hispanic etc. The quote of Whitman “This is the meal equally set this the meat for natural hunger, It is for the wicked just the same as the righteous, I make appointments with all” (The Norton Anthology of American Literature, 1342). This meant for someone like Mr. Whitman he believes that everyone must be free and equal.…
