Crayon

I remember it like it was yesterday, but it was years ago. Eight years, two months, and five days to be exact. It happened so quickly, but I seemed to remember everything. I hate remembering that day. It was the scariest day of my entire life. On July 23, 2011, I was in a car wreck, and it was the most terrifying moment of my life. I woke up in an unfamiliar room. The pillow was too soft, the mattress was too comfortable, and the lights were too bright. I realized I wasn’t home. There was a…

different. The only thing that would be different would be you.” After making this remark Salinger reveals that in red crayon “Fuck you” has been written on the wall in the museum. Presenting a change in the museum shatters Holden’s philosophy, and perhaps insinuates that children may not be as innocent as Holden perceives them to be. Mentioning the expletive being written in crayon, which is usually associated with children, Salinger is relaying the possibility of children being as obscene as…

At times I wonder what life would be like if there was a soundtrack playing in the background. The soundtrack would continue to play capturing every moment in life, although having a soundtrack playing in the background of my life is an impossible idea, there are still those certain songs that seem to sing in my head for every moment I have experienced in my life. I am frequently at a loss of words, but when I hear the right melody, everything falls in place it connects me with memories, places,…

Construction paper, markers, crayons, and cut aluminum foil were placed on the table for students to share. A precut fish was given to each student to decorate as they wanted. While sitting at the table, students were asked questions about the importance of sharing how they would react…

Children develop fine motor skills when they learn how to use a paintbrush, crayon, scissors, and other skills learned in art.

young boy, Disney was paid to draw the horse of a retired doctor, beginning his love for the arts. He practiced drawing daily by drawing the by copying the cartoons that appeared on the front of the newspaper, Appeal to Reason. He began to work with crayons and watercolors in his sketchbook that his aunt gave him to encourage him to draw more (Grant). “In July 1923, Walt headed for…

The first picture book I looked through was Preschool Day Hooray! by Linda Leopold Strauss and illustrated by Hiroe Nakata. The story is about activities a child will experience in a typical preschool day. There is not a lot of text in the story, I would estimate and say an average of 5 words per page. Reviewing the table “How Illustrations Contribute to Picture Book Stories” I noticed several literary elements. The first literary element I noticed was character. Since the story is explaining…

A black, 10-year-old girl was sleeping while her mother lay next to her in the bed. I am not privy to any patient information (such as reason for admittance, diagnosis, or even the last name) being a volunteer sitter at Children’s. Her mother needs to run errands and tells me to make sure and let her know that her mother loves her. Within minutes of her mother leaving, she woke up and greeted me with a smile. She was of normal weight and height so her physical development appeared to be…

However, I recall one of my earliest and fondest memories of where my literacy journey began. As a young child, I liked to scribble crayon all over anything I deemed as acceptable to ruin. Although, I did not yet understand what I was doing, I deeply felt in my heart that I was meant to draw. The feeling of satisfaction that emerged from within every time I produced a work of art was…

stood for the chance at a new life. If I had the chance to meet any person, it would be Oprah Winfrey. I have always remember back in elementary being worried about what now I think we're very unnecessary. The occasional scrapes on my knee or broken crayons. In the next ten years I believe now the things I stress over will continue to fade away, getting a bad grade on a test, overloads of homework, and the list can keep going…
