Book of Concord

This was a very inspiring chapter. The compare and contrast assignment with magazines you did with your class had me thinking about how I can’t wait to teach. I remember when I was in school those types of magazines were very popular, especially Word Up! So reading the story about Brandy was nostalgic as well as inspiring to me. I also really enjoyed the videos about the two young students. As I was watching If She Only Knew Me video I was pridefully thinking I wouldn’t do that, I would’ve…

Bilbo Baggins Banned The all timed love of the classic "The Hobbit" has been put on the banned books list. Now having read the book I do not believe that it should have been placed on that kind of title. It is a wonderful book, with many exciting moments and suspense at its finest. However, there are some instances that I can see why it is banned. After doing some research, I came to a conclusion that it is banned for its religious purposes, smoking, and use of older languages.…

I have always loved books. Ever since I was little, I have immersed myself in hundreds of stories ranging from fiction to comic strips. I shut out the world around me and immerse myself in a story comprised of 26 repeating letters. Before I even open a new book, I decode the title, because really, the title is the first words you read in a story, and can oftentimes be the most powerful. So how do you pick a title? In some cases, a name can tell an entire story, omitting seemingly small details…

mother greeted him with a kind “Hey hotshot how was school.” “It was great,” replied Victor. Victor went to his room with the three textbooks. He opened the first page and felt like closing the book right away. There was so many words he didn’t know he felt like he would never learn them. Victor closed the book and thought to himself why am I doing this for Teresa. He studied one hour and would have kept studying if his Mom wouldn’t have called him down for dinner. Victor darted down the stairs…

would have died a happy man if I were Gutenberg, because I would have made one of the best inventions in the world. Where would we be without printing books we would still be writing them if it wasn’t for Gutenburg we could probably only fill up like seven libraries out of the millions of them. For gosh sakes only really rich people would have books and the world would be a ton less educated. Instead of having those new cars we might still have the ones that are pulled by horses or something. I…

paper by:jessica locke “The boyfriend” is a book to entertain. The book was not made to scare kids it is made for fun. three reasons this book is banned or challenged is of some parents,because people think it's to scary for kids,and because there's too much violence in r.l stines books. I don't believe the book should be completely banned. Although some of r.l. stine books should be challenged in Elementary Schools. R.l. stine books are challenged and banned because parents think…

The book The Westing Game was a slow book to read. In my opinion this book was very boring. The author wrote in a view of multiple groups and often in the view for a single person. The author had extra fluff that was not relevant to the story. For example, “J.J. Ford was the biggest tipper in Sunset Towers… “I saw someb-b-b…” Chris Theodorakis was too excited to stutter out the news to his brother.” (page 14) The constant switching of characters and character groups without a well written…

the waddle of a very happy penguin. I stopped for a fleeting second to admire the world around me. Rows among rows of the thing I loved most, books. My tiny body gazed up at the shining lights that surrounded me, practically squealing with delight at the sight of the thousands of books that covered the walls. Unfortunately however those thousands of books I could not read yet, so I waddled over to the flamboyantly painted red fire truck practically screaming for attention. Along my little…

once said, “The books that the world calls inmortal are books that show the world its own shame.” If every book had some kind of blood or speak of death etc, we would have almost every book in the world banned because of it. Some books are banned because opinions or religious beliefs are different. Mice and Men has been on the list for banned books on the list repeatedly and some people still believe that it should be a banned book but I believe it shouldn’t be a banned book. In the book, George…
