I had Mrs. Eischeid for my freshman year English I teacher, she told me we were reading this book…
Versions Many do not ponder whether or not we would trade our paper copies of books for digital versions.

I bring books to work frequently and "Brown Bear Brown Bear" is one of them. I read it to my kids in hopes that I can share my…
Death: Paper Books Paper books exist from ancient times up until today. Books have a long history, and it is unclear of when the first book was made. This long lasting legacy still remains today. There is a major debate on whether or not paper books will be extinct or not. However, people seem to misinterpret the debate. Paper books did not vanish because people are not using it anymore, but paper books are decreasing because not many people use it. The decrease in the usage of printed books…

This dystopian life is controlled by the ignorance of the people and the censorship from the government.

Reading chapter books usually meant you were smart and you were in the highest reading class. That’s what made me want to read chapter books.
