Today I will be talking about one of my favourite realistic fiction book, Frindle. The first time I read this book was back in 2009. This book was released in 1996 and was popular for kids since. This story takes place in Lincoln elementary school in modern time. The 2 main characters in the story, is Nick and Mrs.Granger. Nick supports the idea of Frindle. On the other hand Mrs.Granger strongly denies the idea of Frindle. Mrs Granger is a teacher that is obsessed with correct spelling and vocabulary. So when Nick invents this word Frindle, which is the word invented by Nick to be used instead of pen, Mrs. Granger makes strict rules not to use the word. These rules become extreme and a lot of students were put in detention multiple times because

    Little Critter Analysis

    Molly Bang Paper When thinking of this assignment, I immediately knew which book I was going to choose. I felt that choosing a favorite book from my childhood could be a fun way to see the differences in how I viewed it then, and how I might view it today. As a child, I was in love with Mercer Mayer’s “Little Critter” books (and still am today). I decided not to go searching for an easy or popular book, rather I wanted to take one I know and love and see if/how Molly Bang’s principles were applied.…

    Goosebumps Should Not Be Banned Essay

    However, one's relationship to fear is an essential adjusting expertise that should act naturally aligned after some time, and Goosebumps offer kids some assistance with doing that flawlessly. The story never gets too overwhelming or genuine; the tyke heroes never pass on, and the dangers are quite often otherworldly occasions that couldn't really happen. There is never any disrespectful dialect, and youngsters can depend on and foresee the plot structures in a way that is consoling. They can travel through the content at their own particular pace; they can close the book and quit reading whenever if things start to feel excessively extraordinary for them.

    Cuckoo's Nest Censorship

    Your apprehension over the subject matter of the novels being read in class is well founded and understandable. It is in the very nature of a parent to wish to protect his child, especially in the ever-impressionable teenage years, from “truculence,” “sexism,” and “antisocial ideas.” However, the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, as well as every other novel read in an English class, not only has literary value, but is fundamental in exposing children to the realities of the world, harsh or benign. Censorship of the materials read and the topics of discussion in a public school can lead to a lethal condition in students known as ignorance, which, if left untreated, can breed highly uneducated and oblivious adults.…

    Francine Prose Analysis

    Francine Prose is a living author and critic who was born in the 1940’s and has produced multiple works which have been rewarded with grants and honors. Prose wants the reader ask themselves how aware English teachers are about their curriculum regarding literature. It is Prose’s belief that instead of choosing real challenging books, English teachers around the country are choosing books with simpler themes and characters, and preventing deep thought about their meanings, which is stunting the love of books for high school students. Prose believes that books are no longer read deliberately enough (98), she believes books are no longer being written or read by the word, but skimmed over. Teachers sometimes choose masterpieces to assign their children, but simply do not follow it up…

    My Reading Experience

    It’s exciting plot and meaningful themes led me to see reading in a whole new light. I realized that fiction is not only useful for entertainment, but also for learning about the world. With this revolutionary state of mind, I sought out books such as Lord of the Flies and 1984. Just last year, I read Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, which once again proved to me that novels are nearly as useful for learning about the world and developing one’s character as nonfiction books. With this new perspective in mind, I am excited to discover more books to once again captivate me and consume my…
