Books all over America are in danger. Books‚ objects that allow imagination and the expansion of the mind and the world around one‚ are often times subject to criticism and even bannings when any one person does not like the content. Books bannings should not be done whatsoever‚ let alone become a semi-common practice. Of course‚ bannings only occur after careful consideration. Or do they?

Most love stories are about two people‚ while this story is about three. It is about a more sacred and deep love that cannot be described by a word that has lost it’s meaning throughout the years. The word “love” has become an overused word that people use for everything. What I find discomforting is the

Reading Response- Book 1 of Tale of Two citites The passage I have chosen is from Chapter 5‚ book 1‚ which takes place at a wine shop. Dickens is using this passage to explain the recent event that has taken place; crowds of people gather in front of the wine shop‚ and actually scoop up the wine for themselves from the broken cask.

Description: Honestly‚ to begin with; I don’t have that much knowledge on ‘The book of Kells” it’s something I’ve heard but never really gotten the opportunity to dig into it‚ but I’ve always been interested in it. From what little I’ve acknowledge of the piece is that it’s an ancient manuscript that comprises the four gospels‚ an account that describes life‚ death and resurrection of Jesus‚ and that’s about all I’ve ever known since the mentioning of the piece in my life.

Book of James I read the book of James and was astounded at how much I learned in such a short period of time. James encourages us to rejoice in Christ and to persevere. The main themes prevalent in this book which are wisdom‚ faith‚ trials‚ speech and wealth‚ all pertain to us today and we can use the information this book gives us to benefit from it.

The best book ever is German First of all I have to admit that I’m not a great book-lover‚ I don’t read a lot and this is a pity as I know I could improve my knowledge‚ my vocabulary‚ my ability in speaking and my fantasy too‚ but unfortunately I can’t find lot of free time to dedicate to books. Or‚ when I find it‚ I get tired soon and I can’t stay concentrate for a long time. Sometimes I re-discover the pleasure of reading especially when I find a book –or an article- that captures me. This
