"Try your hardest, and you will do great," Kathy Steege, my riding instructor, told me. My first year of IEA at Red Acre Farm, I was in 6th grade and I was so excited to start doing more showing. I was starting to ride more difficult horses, and I was aware of the IEA team. At the time all I knew was that it was another opportunity to show without needing to own your a horse, and I wanted to join. As an inexperienced equestrian, Kathy wasn't sure if I'd be able to do the five shows permitted for…

The Life of Christopher Robin "But father, I really wanna go to the zoo!" I whined. "No, Christopher Robin, we can't. I'm working today," father evenly stated. He always did that. I hated it when we were stuck at home. I said, "You're always working father. I never get to go to the zoo and see Winnie and Pooh." I complained. "It's just not fair father! Why do we always have to stay at home and do nothing? I hate it, I hate it, I hate --" "Now Christopher Robin, you are making me very angry.…

Pooh goes to see Christopher Robin and asks him if he has a balloon about him - a balloon, of course, being a thing that would enable a small bear to float up into a tree without fear of gorse bushes. Christopher Robin happens to have two balloons, having been to a party at Piglet's house the day before. This is, to put it mildly, a rather troubling plot development - has Piglet had a party and not invited Pooh? He has invited Christopher Robin, and allowed him to take a total of two balloons…

Although the parallels are apparent between both works, there are also blatant differences…

EDWARD BEAR, known to his friends as Winnie-the-Pooh, or Pooh for short, was walking through the forest one day, humming proudly to himself. He had made up a little hum that very morning, as he was doing his Stoutness Exercises in front of the glass: Tra- la-la, tra-la-la, as he stretched up as high as he could go, and then Tra-la-la, tra-la--oh, help!--la, as he tried to reach his toes. After breakfast he had said it over and over to himself until he had learnt it off by heart, and now he was…

How can one person in a perfectly normal functioning family lose his mind out of nowhere? He plays a large role and causes many characters to change in A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley throughout most of the story. The book started off very slowly because it just described the setting and talked about all the people in Zebulon County living their normal lives. I could relate to this because I live in an area that is similar to Zebulon County on a farm just like the setting in the book. I also…
