    Theodor Geisel's Message In The Lorax And The Sneetches

    Have you ever read a Dr. Seuss book? You would automatically think that all of his books are childish and have no main purpose to them, right? Well, you may have not known this, but even if every single one of Theodor Geisel’s books may be meant for kids, deeply hidden in the childish text is a meaningful message. Seuss inscripts a deep message into his books because he wants to express his feelings during a specific part of his life in the form of children’s literature. Two of his books, entitled The Lorax and The Sneetches, published on August 12th, 1971, and August 28th, 1961, respectively.…

    Similarities Between A Barred Owl And The History Teacher

    Children are often seen as living in a bubble, innocent and untouched from life's harsh realities. Therefore, in order to explain difficult topics to them, it is common for adults to use animated, witty stories in hopes of protecting the child's pure outlook on life. In both “A Barred Owl” and “The History Teacher”, Richard Wilbur and Billy Collins allocate explanations to children in hopes of protecting them from what is really at hand. In “A Barred Owl”, Wilber uses the animations of the owl to bring ease to a frightened girl while Collins uses stories and play on words to distract the students from the tougher reality in “The History Teacher.” Both poets use literary devices to display how adults white lies can sway a child's perception despite having good intentions.…

    I can recall the days of arriving at school just as the bell rung. Morning prayers started at 8:05 on the dot every day. A loud screech-voiced over the P.A system welcoming students to a brand new day of high school. I would always hurry to the back of class not trying to grab the attention of my teachers. But they would always single me out and tell me to go grab a pass.…

    The article "Lollipop Stories: Listening to Children's Voices in the Classroom and Narrative Ethnographical Research" provided insight into this week’s text From Bombs to Books as it discussed the importance of listening to acknowledging children’s voices. By listening to children’s voices one is able to understand their lived experiences. Furthermore, giving children a voice allows them to share their own personal stories. The article mentioned that it is through giving children voices that one is able to acknowledge the diversity and complexity of contemporary childhoods (Hohti and Karlsson ,2). This is certainly true as reading the different children’s stories in From Bombs to Books demonstrated that each child’s experience varied and they…

    Children's Literary Analysis

    Over the years, children’s literature has established itself as a vital tool for the exploration, feeling and creativity ideals that both children and young adults depend upon. Children’s literature is a necessity to facilitate learning, assist in shaping reader’s minds, to stimulate their thought processes and is a reflection of social change. Historically, Australian picturebooks were not a readily available or utilised resource. Australian colonial children were also only exposed to British children’s books, which sheltered them from experiencing literature about their own history, nature and landscape.…

    Annotated Translation

    Translation means changing the text from source language into Target Language. In Oxford Advance Learner’s Dictionary accessed from internet on June 12th, 2015, translation is the process of changing something that is written or spoken into another language. Larson (1984:3) states that “Translation is transferring the meaning of the source language into the receptor language. This is done by going from the form of the first language to the form of a second language by way of semantic structure”. It is meaning which is being transferred and must be held constant.…
