Ezra Jack Keats

Introduction Jacob Ezra Katz officially changed his name to Ezra Jack Keats in 1947 (123). The reason for the name change was because of the anti-Semitic attitudes that were prevalent in the U.S. after the end of World War II (122). Keats familiarity with discrimination made him much more sympathetic to others with similar experiences, and it would be these experiences that would cast him into the celebrated role of author and illustrator. His work served to literally illustrate an under represented portion of the population in children’s picture books. Biography Keats was a city kid, as were many of his protagonists. He himself had grown up in Brooklyn, New York. He was the third child of Benjamin and Augusta Podgainy Katz, Jewish immigrants…

weird inside almost like I was scared. A random face comes up to me and asks ‘’did you win your math thing James’’. I said ‘’yeah in unusual way. For a second I thought he joking or something. As I walked to the cafeteria I feel very weird inside almost like I have butterflies in my stomach. Out of no were I see a kid fly like super man straight across the room. I only see a blur. Then after he’s on the ground I could see him clearly. I could also hear people chanting like wild animals. Then I…

The park was crowed as everyone cherished his last game. It was a special moment, the kids felt like rockstars.Their laughs and smiles brightened up my day. "Darryl!" I turned around and saw Jack racing full speed towards me. He gave me a high five that stung my hand, and we talked for a little while. The game was about to start, so we headed towards the field.

1. THEME: The theme in the realistic fiction story Wonder by R.J Palacio is, it doesn’t matter what’s on the outside it’s the inside that counts. I know that’s probably the most cliche saying ever but, it’s true especially in the book Wonder. I say this because the main character August isn’t very well liked at first by anyone but Summer, because of the way he looks, this is especially sad because August has an amazing personality according to Jack, Jack says “... if all the guys in the fifth…

The modernist method of writing allows for individuals to do exactly that, stand together but appear to be far. Writers Ernest Hemingway and T.S. Eliot demonstrated such disassociation in living deliberately in time and place of Nick and J. Alfred…

it comes to making decisions. For instance, Edward Thomas, who was a poet, had an immediate connection with this poem and was inspired with Frosts work as a poet and wished he would’ve done things differently within his poetry (Voices and Visions). Readers love his poetry for the way he constructs reality within the mix of nature. Frost calls it; the sound of sense, a sentence is a sound in itself in which other sounds called words may be strung. He also says, “I alone of English writers have…
