    Importance Of Childhood And Imagination In 'Zolaria'

    As a child, the narrator and Hanna create an imaginary monster named Ogan Veen. Imaginary playmates are all right at a young age, but for her to become an adult and still believe in something strongly enough that it affects her children is not. Imagination is key to becoming a respectable adult when it is in the right quantities. Overall, imagination affects the narrator’s life in a negative way. Symbols and imagery accompany the narrator through her tale and foreshadow the severity imagination can have.…

    Perseverance In Horton Hatches The Egg

    When was the last time you picked up a children's book and actually read it? I am talking just reading it by yourself, not to a little kid. Sofia and Aalyah read two children books titled Horton Hatches the Egg by the famous Dr. Seuss himself, and Hairy Maclary's Showbusiness written by Lynley Dodd. Both of these well written books have a common theme. That theme being perseverance, meaning the characters in each book never gave up, even during difficult times.…

    Childhood Nutrition In Annie Lunsford's The Two Bite Club

    The Two Bite Club, written by Jan Adams and Annie Lunsford, explores the concept of childhood nutrition through the story of Will and Anna trying new foods from each food group. The story develops through thirty nine pages filled with colorful illustrations of the different foods they find all throughout their house. The font used in the story book resembles that of an adult’s handwriting and the first letter of the first word on each page is emphasized in a large, purple, and bold font. This easily draws the attention of a preschooler as one is reading and flipping through the pages. The language spoken by Will and the mother is complex and detailed while Anna speaks with short and simple sentences, similar to other preschoolers.…

    Child Development Of Charlotte's Web

    Something I did not notice about Charlotte until this last time reading the book is how she fills a teaching role with Wilbur, and therefor the children reading the book. In the conversation between she and Wilbur about laying eggs, she uses the word Versatile. Wilbur asks her if versatile means she is full of eggs and she assured him the word did not mean full of eggs but rather able to easily change activities. (116) This realization about the role of Charlotte as a major character in the book greatly changed my latest reading experience.…

    How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading John Holt

    “How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading” is a personal memoir of John Holt’s recollections of being an English teacher. Holt remembers the times when he was the teacher that made children dissect books until their minds no longer held the real meaning of them. Their minds were drilled into finding the ‘correct’ answer and moving on as fast as possible. After multiple arguments with his sister telling him his approach to teaching reading was wrong and hurting the children's love for reading, he slowly started to listen. In his memoir, Holt shows growth of being a dynamic character and his ways of teaching change alongside him.…
