Book of Concord

Once upon a time in a far away land, there was a book named Tally. Tally was an old book that had been around for nearly 17 years. Although she told stories of faraway lands, adventures with compelling characters and an unexpected ending, she was very underappreciated. Over the 17 years, Tally went through garage sales, bookstores, and libraries, all to be left on the counter waiting for someone new to take her. Tally was a large red book that had a long pen mark down the middle of her cover,…

For the purposes of this paper, I will analyze and discuss seven different children’s literature books that depict people of different cultures and identities. I chose these books because these books challenge children’s preconceived notions about certain groups and help them change those. These books encourage children to not only understand the diversity in the classroom but to appreciate and accept them too and apply this mindset in the classroom and their community as well. In an inclusive…

the Renaissance in England and Italy? Based on the cookbooks, letters, and books of the time period, the importance of food is illustrated through the countless amounts of discussion about the topic and the emphasis placed on cooks of royalty or people like the pope. One of the most popular cookbooks from the Renaissance is the Opera dell’arte del cucinare, written by Bartolomeo Scappi in 1570. At the beginning of the book, is not only a section dedicated to introducing the author, but a large…

Each book from the library was worth a certain amount of AR(Accelerated Reader) points. To earn these points an online test would have to be taken, and a passing grade would have to be received. I was easily able to get the minimum number of AR points required…

school-age child, perhaps 7 or 8, I brought a new book to class for morning reading. It happened to be “Baby Island,” a 1937 novel that Wikipedia describes as “Robinson Crusoe… but with four babies.” My intention, on that brisk fall morning, was to pull the paperback out of my backpack and open it to my bookmark. “What is that? Why are you reading that?” someone asked. A cluster formed around my desk, to see the boy who was not reading a very boyish book. Babies, of course, were the realm of…

The book is about two best friends, one who’s very happy, good at athletics, and the other who is very smart, but he’s so envious and bitter towards his friend, to the point where this jealousy completely consumes him and he becomes so full of envy and hatred, he actually intentionally hurts him. So I think one of the biggest lessons from this book, is to not let jealousy take control of you, or act on it. And that’s one of the reasons why I love this book so much, because of the…

Why is “Of Mice and Men” banned? Books are banned for many reasons, but why are they banned? Books are banned and challenged when someone or a group of people have an issue with the content of the book. A book that is on the banned book list is “Of Mice and Men”. There is controversy about whether this book should be banned. In my opinion it should be because of the racism, violence, and explicit language. racism although isn't the main reason this book is banned it has a major factor. For…

I believe that all of the short stories we read were quite entertaining in some way. I found that “The Scarlet Ibis” was my favorite because it brought out my emotions. I didn’t really catch the main idea to the story “Blues Ain’t No Mocking Bird”, but I got the plot’s concept. In the story “The Most Dangerous Game” I actually predicted the outcome within the first few pages, because I knew that in some way the story was going to present situational irony. This review is going to be about “The…
