Often when considering conflicts, readers, tend to zero in on it, and the characters that are involved. It’s rarely thought that setting is the root of conflict, but The Book Thief and Between Shades of Gray’s settings are both examples of how a larger conflict beyond any one person, can easily be the root of their struggle. The books both take place during the late 1930’s and early 1940’s during World War II. The lives of these young women are faced with great difficulty because of the war that…

What do you truly believe in? This time-honored question is essentially taken into account in the vintage children’s picture story book, The Polar Express. The Polar Express is a hardcover children’s picture (which has been awarded with the Caldecott Medal) written and illustrated by the American illustrator and children’s book writer, Chris Van Allsburg, circa 1985. This rather serene and classical Christmas tale tailgates the abridged story of a young boy (whose name remains unidentified) who…

Try as I might, the only memory I can recall in vivid detail is of my second period class, Algebra 2, with Mrs. Parks.
