The Winter Soldier’s horse shies away from the wind, sharp with a chill and damp that Bucky can no longer feel. The clouds gather hard upon the peaks of Sokovia, reeking of rain and worse to the vampire’s supernatural nose. A few stubborn leaves dangle from bare branches like decayed flesh clings to bone. Bucky sighs. “You coddle him,” his companion says. Bucky turns in his saddle. “That’s not what I was thinking.” Natasha snorts, a strange sound from a fellow blood drinker but that’s…

Today I will be teaching you about “Never Cry Wolf” by Farley Mowat. I chose this short story because I liked the setting as well as the wolves. SLIDE – POINT OF VIEW: The narrative is a first-person account from the perspective of a person. SLIDE – CHARACTERS: Indirect characterization is used in this story but the majority of information is held back from the reader. The reader can assume the first-person perspective is coming from a human because on page 2, the person narrates about their…

The truth of who you really are became a fallacy to the ears of many young minds, including mine. Implanted since I was a young child, you were always portrayed as the “Big Bad Wolf” who treated the three little pigs as delicious prey rather than a friendly neighbor who wanted to be more than an acquaintance. I question the reasons why you would let the media tarnish your name in such an evil manner. From Walt Disney creating a cartoon short called “Disney’s Silly Symphony: The Three Little…

n answer to the tentacled creatures' questions, Calvin explains that he is a young man from a planet engaged in fighting off the Dark Thing. The beasts seem surprised that Calvin and the Murrys are not used to meeting beings from other planets. They tell their guests that they must entrust Meg to their care because she is extremely vulnerable and weak. Meg leans against the soft, furry chest of one of the beasts and feels warm and secure. The beasts rub something warm over her body, clothe…

Men and woman today do not always follow their “designated” gender roles as they have in the past and this causes skepticism in the way society views them. This is represented In the story where there is change surrounding the innate nature of men to showcase violence, and unclothed women to stray from innocence. The first example is in this quote when Carter displays the man’s attempt to remain inconspicuous, “The sticks twitched in the grate, the clock ticked and the young man sat patiently,…

An English author and illustrator of children’s picture books, Emily Gravett, brings a fresh outlook to the children’s books where she won Kate Greenway Medal and the Nestle Children’s Book Prize Bronze Award for Wolves and Little Mouse’s Big Book of Fears, Book Trust (2015). Again! is another brilliant of Gravett. A little green dragon wants his mother to read a bedtime story of a bright angry red dragon name Cedric who causes havoc every night, repeatedly that it sends her to fall asleep…

For my fairy tale, I chose to read the story about “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. In this story, Goldilocks is harassed and frightened by the bears. She is portrayed as the “bad” character in a few instances. In my opinion, she is a very inspiring young lady and the bears scurried her away for no apparent reason. Goldilocks was a good character since she was just hungry, tired, and unknown. To start, Goldilocks was hungry and was searching for food which doesn’t make her a horrible character.…

Then one night they saw a she-wolf and they figured out that the she wolf was luring their dogs in…

I have not re-read fairy tales a long time, so I had forgotten most of them. Not Your Mother's Goose was a great reminder with a twist. These are modern versions of fairy tales. You may want to read them when you've tired telling Cinderella to your kids before bed every evening, want a laugh or you are just a bitter, bitter person tired of sugary stuff. It is not a mere funny retelling of fairy tales, it's often a satire of modern word. It makes fun of celebrities and quirks in today's…

There’s no need for introduction, I’m just good ol me. I’m your everyday “Caretaker” in other words I’m an assassin that works for those who need their town protected, my parents are dead and I have no relatives so I’m all alone in this world. I’m 17, Silver haired, and Blue eyed. The “Fellow villagers” say that because I’m emotionless that I am the reason my parents were taken away by the government for “Testing”. I recently received a letter from a man named Uuotcha, saying he needed help…
