We saw many things that we didn’t expect, like a man riding on a camel and talking into a cellphone (this was when many Americans still didn’t own cell phones), nomads in sloping tents placed in olive groves (where everyone in each family worked to harvest the olives), troglodytes (homes carved out of rock caves), a camel riding in the back of a pickup truck (say what?), and little ledges in every crevice and hillside to catch water whenever…

In the short story With a Little Help From My Friends, there is a moment I would like to go deeper in. "They wanted to know about more important things, such as camels. How many did we own back home? What did we feed them? Was it a bumpy ride?" Is a simple but strong quote within this story.

Stowaway The pay phone, on the wall outside of a tiny grocery store, was a short walk from my apartment. In 1980 I was 18 and had been living in a small town in central Arkansas for less than a year. Since anything resembling a cell phone or the Internet existed only Sci-Fi flicks, conversing with anyone not standing next to you consisted of a letter or a phone call. I’d never been a letter writer, they are so slow and I was all about instant gratification at 18. By the time a letter is…

Mr. Peek the Misunderstanding at the Zoo was the book I chose for my interactive read aloud. In the story, Mr. Peek accidentally puts his son’s jacket on before he goes to work. It obviously doesn’t fit and it makes him feel bad about himself. As he is making his rounds at the zoo he talks to himself in a very critical way. All of the animals think that he is talking to them. Once Mr. Peek figures out that he really had the wrong jacket the whole time, he walks back through the zoo praising…
