Bedtime Stories As I put my empty dish in the dishwasher and headed upstairs for bed, I thought about the books I wanted my mom to read to me tonight. Once I reached my bedroom, I walked over to my little wooden bookshelf and began to sort through a variety of different works— from the informative National Geographic children’s books, to the classic Little Golden Books. By the time my mom had reached my bedroom, I had selected four books for her to read: two National Geographic books— one about…

rhymes and bedtime stories. Every night, before going to bed, I used to have a bedtime story from my father. I listened to him seriously, until I felt asleep. My father is my most favorite comedian, and he told a story before we went to bed. At nine o’clock, he would sit down in front of us and told the same story about a family which consist of four people: They are the old man (aki-aki), old woman (nini-nini), and their two daughters whose names were Si Keletek and Si Kulutuk. I was so bored,…

Many people develop their literacy skill through bedtime stories, me included. I remember laying down on my bed, listening to my parents read until I fell asleep. However, the older I got the bedtime stories stopped and moved to the daytime. During my twelve years of schooling my reading skills have matured increasingly each year. Thanks to all my past teachers who required us to read certain books that were out of our comfort level. Now I am capable to comprehend any book that interests me.…

My main genre would be considered as a bedtime story and a combination of the horror genre which in concept does not go along together, but was successful in orienting my main message…

beyond the highway. Settling in for the night with my sister, Zaina, in comfy pajamas and a hot cup of sleepytime tea. We finish up our last sip just as grandma gets done with her famous bedtime stories. Our favorite one about a puppy who lost his mom and trying to find his way home.This is how I began to understand our literary experience. As I interviewed my sister Zaina, it seemed to all come back. I was in that bedroom, I could smell the tea, feel the soft sheets, and hear grannies soothing…

How I Became a Writer I was a restless child. My parents were astonished at how energetic and chatty their skinny, dark hair girl was. It was made clear to my parents that they needed strategies when it came to putting me to bed, and so they began nightly bedtime stories. Bedtime stories signified the closing of the day. Routinely my father would race me to bed and tightly tuck me in (tightly enough so I couldn’t escape). After tuck in he’d lay on my carpet floor and ask me what story I…

In this essay I will be talking about the irony presented in the following stories: The Man to Send Rain Clouds by Leslie Mamon Silko, Dear Mountain Room Parents by Maria Semple, Bedtime Story by Jeffrey Whitmore, Hide and Seek by Douglas L. Haskins, and Equal Rites by Mark Plants. I show why the authors used irony in their stories instead of another literary resource, and why they used it. In The Man to send Rain Clouds, the irony found is that they sprinkled holy water over the corpse, so…

Language of Different Social Groups In Gadda’s article, “Writing and Langauge Socializations Across Cultures: Some Implecations For the Classroom,” he explains that it is not only the language that is different but the cultural differences as well. Within the United States and abroad, there are different cultures and classes of people who are influenced by their language and/or culture.

Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple, wrote "Everyday Use," which tells a story of a rugged, independent mother of two girls who celebrate their African-American heritage in completely different ways. One daughter, Maggie, celebrates her heritage by enjoying and appreciating the use of family heirlooms whereas the other daughter, Dee, feels it is more honorable to display these heirlooms for artistic show. Walker's use of imagery illuminates the story's theme of family heritage and, quite…
