The protagonist in the book is Emily. She has this amulet that can shoot this weird lightning like power if she focus. She is brave and wants to find her mom because the antagonist took her mom…
in past years have done this through the use of the book To Kill a Mockingbird. But because of use of certain language in the book it was pulled from some school curriculum. In the case of the Drake school their copies of the book were burned. Author of the book Kurt Vonnegut responded by writing a letter to the Drake School Board about how “...angered, sickened, and saddened,” he was by their actions (Vonnegut). I think the copies of the book should not have been burned, and should have been…

Printing Press Assignment Printing presses have increased drastically by 1,260% from 1471 to 1500 due to a drop in the price of printing press and an increasing interest in spreading more ideas through books and other documents.

It helped influence the Reformation by how Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on a church wall in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517. His ideas were spread throughout…
cut in their library budget every year, leaving less money to purchase quality books for their collection. Therefore, it is essential for school libraries to host a book fair at least once a year rather through Barnes and Nobel, Scholastic, and Reading Warehouse. “The book fair is a common staple for many school libraries to earn free books” (Pentland, pg.112). My school recently finished hosting our Fall Scholastic book fair and it could not of came at a better time. Prior to the fair, I was…
Over 750,000 Palestinians left their homes, over 500 villages had been destroyed and Palestinian communities that had existed for decades were systemically vacated. However, the Palestinians and Jews have very different conceptions of the Palestinian exodus and its consequences today.

The book of Genesis presents God as being directly involved with the development of humanity, particularly during the time spent with Adam in the Garden. The closeness is continued in Exodus as God uses Moses to guides the Hebrews out of the oppressive system in Egypt. The scriptures of Deuteronomy and Joshua continue to examine God’s closeness with the Hebrews. The laws given to the Hebrews that describe how they should conduct themselves suggests God’s concern for the Hebrew’s well-being.…

The way that these characteristics relate to these books is very important and will be discussed in this essay. In the book Wonder the main character is August Pullman, nicknamed…
technology. It’s everywhere, some of you are probably holding your phone in your hands right now! The effect of technology in our lives is beyond words. For this reason, it can be found humorous how some people prefer “paperback books” over state-of-the-art, cutting edge electronic books.

I could potentially stand here all day and go over these reasons, but really all what’s necessary is three: they’re…
