"Whoa! E-Easy there pal, y-you almost fell!" Clover breathed, doing his absolute best to keep his larger friend balanced on his own two feet as they returned home from a long night of celebration.

A series of bubbly giggles and hiccups escaped his larger friend as he briefly escaped his grasp. He twirled playfully dipped his head down to be eye level with his little companion, gently tipping up the brim of his hat so he could get a better look at his eyes.

"Ha ha haaaa~ C'mon, Clover!~ hic It's not e...everyday you win a drinking contest with the village elder!" He chirped, cupping Clover's face in both hands as he drunkenly admired the sprite's dark features, at least, what he could see.

"S-Spade please...you didn't have to take part!" he exclaimed, sounding a bit more flustered and frustrated than he would've liked to.

    Eugenia Collier, a well known writer used several literary devices such as juxta position, diction, imagery, point of view, and flashback to create the voice of narrator Lizabeth from the short story Marigolds. The point of view the author was trying to express was extremely clear using statements like “Bewilderment of being neither woman or child. ”(Collier) to show that the narrator is a teen going through the rough phases that come with coming of age. Quotes of this story, like this one, show that it is a flashback from an older woman remembering her childhood during rough times in the thirties. Other pieces of the story show imagery that reflects and bends the reader’s imagination to show a picture.…

    One of the main themes of Milkweed is that human nature is weird and confusing. For example, one night Misha witnesses kristallnacht and reflects, “What I really feared was being strapped to a horse backward with my face bouncing in and out of the horse’s tail.” (Spinelli, 38) As Jewish stores, homes and establishments were being torn apart by German rioters, Misha watched Jews suffer public humiliation. One man was tied to a horse as his face hung over the back end of the animal. The next day, Misha begins to worry that he may wind up in that man’s same spot because he is confused as to why the rioters are attacking people.…

    The children’s book Chrysanthemum written by Kevin Henkes is a classic piece of literature with an essential meaning within. Using the simple moral of the Golden Rule, Henkes shows this through the adventures of a mouse in a very social oriented time in children’s lives, pre-school. By using realistic fiction to depict a normal child’s experience through school, Henkes shows the ups and downs of having differences through the 13 letter name of the protagonist, Chrysanthemum. Even though the vocabulary is simple for matured ones, it is a new world for young ones using words such as “blushed” and others such as “bloomed” when used as a feeling. The book Chrysanthemum begins with Chrysanthemum growing up with love and affection from her parents.…

    Today I was able to go back out to see my grandparents over the weekend. I thought it would be an opportunity to go back and return to the forest and see if something has changed or discover something new.
