finding more books to read. From a young age, my father had encouraged me to read and explore my love for finding new books. When I was about 8 or 9 years old, he got me my first public library card. He would take me to the public library and open the double doors to the kids section and to me it was like walking into a magic world straight out of a story book.…

some interesting books. Books are important for expanding our knowledge and help to develop our ability to make rational decisions. Reading different types of book can open our minds and prevent us from being frogs in the well, someone who cannot see a big picture since he or she is a close-minded. “American libraries should be open to all – except censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticism. Let us welcome controversial books and…

long ago, but the first books I read were books with pictures and very little words. In about the second grade I started reading The Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne up until halfway through the fourth grade. The next series of books I fell in love with was R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps series, which lasted throughout the sixth grade. In middle school, I started to read J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. My favorite types of books are book series. I do enjoy books that don’t have…

For a long time I had absolutely no interest in books and even less interest in writing. No one encouraged me to read or write, no one cared. My passion for books was purely accidental and effortless. It sparked and bursted to life, burning like a forest fire over night. Learning how to read wasn’t difficult for me, I just didn’t care. While I went through first grade I never picked up a book and tried to read, I would just stare at the pictures; they were more interesting. I was in Germany at…

strengths that make this book such an emotional and inspiring book to read. One thing I really liked about the book was how the author used a lot of literary devices which made the reading experience more fun and these devices allowed me as a reader to better understand and connect with the characters and the plot. I personally love reading books with literary devices but more specifically with symbolism. Throughout the book, the author has used a lot of symbolism to make the book have more of a…

Co-Dependent Novel Imagine you are in a bookstore and it is overflowing with amazing literature. How many of these novels can stand on their own as a story to tell? Do some of these novels require prior text to understand certain aspects, such as a second book in a series? This brings forth the idea of intertextuality in which it is defined as reference of a text which is mirrored and reflected in another text (Eyvazi 155). Jean Rhys took it into her own hands to create a novel on Bertha Mason…

why I adore words so much. My favorite example of communicating that “complex emotion” part is a book called Freaks Like Us, by Susan Vaught. The Public Library Teen Summer Reading Challenge decreed I read it the summer going into eighth grade, and earned the title of “first book to make me sob uncontrollably”. It’s about a schizophrenic boy everyone calls Freak. He’s suicidal. Readers feel the book, a decisive lack of adjectives form intense backgrounds and long sections omitting punctuation…

In “Kid’s Stuff” by Michael Chabon, the author is trying to explain to the audience how the writing of comics must be changed in order to appeal to modern day children. Originally, the goal of a comic book writer was to appeal to adults and to get readers to think of comics as a legitimate source of literature instead of something that kids read to pass the time. In the process of doing so, kids stopped reading comics as much. While some adults picked comics up, the sales numbers went down over…

In our modern era, there have been many well-written books, however, what criteria must a book contain in order to be considered a true classic for generations upon generations? For a book to be considered a timeless classic, it must contain three-dimensional, realistic characters with gradual character development, as well as a magnificent use of sensory details. Without these key aspects to a story that make it relatable and interesting, it cannot be remembered for decades to come. Due to its…
