Secondly, in the last pages of the book it educates the reader about the animals and plants to see while hiking, or biking on a school function, or for pleasure with friends and family. As I was reading to the kids, it felt like I was taking them to a completely different world, where they were observing animals talking and interacting other animals on a normal day in their natural habitat. It almost gave the illusion as to help others in need , and how to keep the Santa Rosa Plateau thriving.…

The Educator opened the lesson asking two questions in Spanish “¿a quién le gustan los animales?” and “¿quién tiene animales en la casa?” what allow the students to activate their prior knowledge regarding the animals.…

    Being forced to abandon a safe haven can cause one to hopelessly cling to the memories created there. In Gerda Klein’s memoir, All But My Life, she and her family are forced to leave their house.

She then starts to reminisce about all the memories created there and realizes that her life will never be the same again, she has truly lost the innocence that her childhood once possessed.

    Lindsey, I understand that not all of us are for pro-immunization, however, if someone here does have a different point of view on it I am open to know their reasoning behind it. When I encounter with another individual whom we find opposite belief, I find myself getting more intrigued. It is always nice to hear the different points of views of the other person because you never know what you can learn from them. Thank you for your respectful comment, hope you are having a great day!…

    Doyle moves the reader’s attention away from the literal content of the essay by using repetition of two things: relating these animals to humans and also relating the chambers in the heart of a bunch of living animals. In the beginning of the story, Doyle compares the “hummingbird’s heart” to the “size of a pencil eraser,” and then he continues to compare the size of their heart to “the size of an infant’s fingernail” (273). These comparisons allow the reader to look at not just the facts of the matter, but also relate to what is being said. Doyle’s writing prepares us for these moments by using similar paragraphs starters. The paragraphs that pertain to the hummingbird or the whale begin with the introduction of a new body part or function.…

    Jacey Choy and Jun’ichiro Tanizaki, authors of “Red Cranes” and “The Firefly Hunt,” respectively, both write about characters similar in age, personality, and culture; however, the authors take different approaches in developing and presenting their characters to the reader. While their characters share a youthful, energetic, and curious personality, Choy and Tanizaki use several different methods to develop such characters over the course of their stories. While Choy uses Mie’s interactions with supporting characters to develop Mie’s characters, Tanizaki instead focuses on Sachiko’s feelings, worries, and thoughts. In “Red Cranes,” Choy’s description of Mie’s interactions with her father and mother form the basis of her character development.…
