comprehending skills. Most people don’t know that there is a side to reading that is not always good. When a person becomes enthralled in a book and can’t put it down they start to let that effect their everyday life. I have read many book series from Harry Potter books to the Percy Jackson ones. I once considered myself an outstanding reader and was told this many times by my sixth-grade teacher. I have stopped reading books for fun as I got older. When you get older it doesn’t seem like it…

When was the last time you picked up a children's book and actually read it? I am talking just reading it by yourself, not to a little kid. Sofia and Aalyah read two children books titled Horton Hatches the Egg by the famous Dr. Seuss himself, and Hairy Maclary's Showbusiness written by Lynley Dodd. Both of these well written books have a common theme. That theme being perseverance, meaning the characters in each book never gave up, even during difficult times. In the first book Horton Hatches…

The human resources frame focuses on the interrelationships…

Rowling covered a lot of big topics throughout the seven installments of Harry Potter. Friendship, love, loyalty, magic, time and most importantly race. Unlike some of the other topics which are openly discussed, she decided to breach the sensitive topic of race in the cleverest of ways. Rather than speaking about race in the traditional sense we are all used too, Rowling created a metaphor for race one which focuses on blood and lineage rather than skin color. By creating these new groups,…

called Harry Potter. He dragged on and on about a story of some wizard, going to a place called “Hogwarts” and there was something about a “Voldemort” character. So, I decided I needed to figure out what the big fuss was about Harry Potter. While I was constrained to the couch after having hand surgery, Jimbo, reluctantly, handed over his prized possession of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I became infatuated with the wizarding world of Harry Potter. I felt as if I was part of the Harry,…

There is a subtle, inward satisfaction in picking up details initially missed the first time you read a book or watch a movie. Appreciating the hidden adult jokes in Disney classics or understanding the significance of George Orwell’s 1984 feels like a measurement of growth of one’s maturity and life experiences. Theresa Krauskopf’s essay entitled “On Second Glance” explores that feeling of enjoyment that comes from rediscovering something that was little appreciated in youth. Readers will be…

In the Hunger Games, the most important similarities the movie shared with the book was making Peeta initiate the idea of him and Katniss being lovers. This is so significant because, without this, most of the main events in the book and movie would never have taken place. For one, this angle would have left Katniss to be just another face in the crowd, not making her stand out, which also meant fewer sponsors, decreasing her chances of survival. However, the most important reason for this is…
