Book of Jonah

silent reading time. Those books were my favorite because they took me to another world. I…

There are many ways to portray the theme never judge a book by it’s cover, and i’m sure that most people have been in situations where that rule is important. I myself have had this happen to me. One day my mom and I were grocery shopping and I saw this old dude that kept staring at me. My first thought was, I better get away from this guy quick. Then, my mom went to go to the bathroom and I was all alone. I started going the opposite direction trying to get away from the guy until my mom got…

RICHARD RODGERS Question: “Is the book of Jonah fiction? How could a person survive three days and nights in a fish’s belly? Was he swallowed by a fish or a mammal?” First: Although it has been argued that the Old Testament book of Jonah is a fairy tale, the Lord Himself referred to it as a sign that His teaching was true. (Matthew 12: 39-41) Fiction proves nothing. Second: Whether…

Why E-BOOK? We all know that textbooks are one of the main concerns before classes start. In fact, virtually every college student has experienced how difficult can be when carrying textbooks from one class to another. Textbooks are big, heavy, bulky and take up space. Some textbooks have more than a thousand of pages and are very expensive to purchase. The e-book is the best alternative for college students. It has great choices for all college students which can help, solve problems and save…

stories. Sometimes I would take my older sister’s books that did not have any pictures and pretend to read them, coming up with my own fantastical plots and imagining that was the story written in the book. I would also pretend to write my own stories by scribbling “cursive” on the pages of my old notebooks. In first grade my teacher, Mrs. Stumph, would allow me to read her Junie B. Jones books to the class. Sometimes, she would even let me read my own books aloud instead. Even though I…

Story of a Book Reading and writing are key elements of literature. Reading and writing were never a hobby for me. These two elements are fundamental principles for everyone’s education, so there goes me learning how to read and write. Only times I get interested in reading and writing is when I read and write something interesting, like something with a meaning that makes you think, or something with a cause. I love learning how to speak new languages, which interests me to end up reading and…

self-improvement books related to business management and corporate world. Unfortunately, a considerable amount of them was not appealing to me due to either the authors’ style of covering topics or unsuccessful choices of the topics. On the other hand, They Don’t Teach Corporate in College by Alexandra Levit was truly a game changer for me. Years of Levit’s experience in the corporate world and her writing talent combined together produced a phenomenal roadmap for starters as myself. The book…

Context Correlation with Content The context surrounding the author while writing often correlate directly with the content found when reading the book. Frequently readers take fictional works of writing and detach it from the world completely, however, many times the content of the book relates more to what is happening in the outside world than the things the author chose to create out of nowhere. Context has the ability to affect what the writing chooses to focus on and as a result of that,…

Have you ever read two different books and had characters that were similar but different?

For one they both are very sarcastic and they get angry easily. They are also totally different in some ways. A big difference between them is that Minn likes to read books, and is very athletic. On the other hand Harper is very lazy, and doesn't like exercise. Harper…

and announcements. I was sitting beside my classmate, Javier, when Ms. Seitz, with a smile on her face, announced that every person in the class would need to pick a book to read while on Christmas break. I, along with many others, began sighing and worrying about finding the time to read it. Eight stacks of hardback and flimsy books were laid on a brown table on the left side of the room. I got up and slowly walked over to the table. I picked up The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri. I…
