Talking Book

When Lucy stepped through the wardrobe and into Narnia, it changed my life. It was the moment I realized that as difficult as things may seem there is the possibility of magic and something bigger just beyond the door. My life changed at that moment. I had found freedom to be the little girl I was, if only in my imagination. It was more than I had ever known. Screaming and fighting always seemed to be going on at my house. My dad was a heroin addict and Mom was a rage addict. Everyday there…

On a late Thursday afternoon, I thought it would be have been a nice day to go library and get some books. Being a geeky teenage girl, I love to read anything from a mystery to a good thriller. My day started off great! A big bowl of Frosted Flakes, a bright early morning and a little bit of television. Nothing could go wrong… or could it? “Oh crap, where’s my library card”.I yelled in frustration. I began to search through all my pockets and in between my father’s car seats.After fifteen…

of first and second grade, unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for me. It all began in second grade. Sitting around the big red table we waited for our teacher, Mrs. Guzman. She stood in front of the bookshelf to find a book for us to read. She pulled out the Magic Tree House book Tonight on the Titanic. She began by reading “Jack opened his eyes. It was a stormy night. The rain tapped hard on his window pane.” After reading the first page, she stopped and waited for next person to continue. As…

always have my pajamas lying in my bunk bed in my blue paint colored room. Every night before bed I would curl up next to her in bed and pick several books for her to read. As I got older, I would pick bigger, harder, and longer books to read. One of my favorite books to read was Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs. Even though I pick several enjoyable books to read my mom would always read me a Bible story at the very end. I loved to spend time at night reading with my mom. How did this have…

sin to write and read the following. It shows the ways in which the character, Equality 72521 from the book Anthem by Ayn Rand, and how he was not in by any means wrong in writing what he had written. The following will go through the community, himself, and finally his independence from the community and his “brothers” of his old life.

didn’t have the place downtown at that time. I used to paint in the morning at the time and I was painting in this realist style… well, they were surreal, surrealist realist you know. The children were young at the time, they had lots of ladybird books, and the quality of illustrations in some of those was very high. So for a while I was uneasy, these pieces were very much admired in a way, but I was thinking I’m becoming “an illustrator”, you know? Everything is so real, there is something more…

When reading books and fairy tales, people more often than not learn many things. Not just crazy facts about dolphins, but real things that can be useful in everyday life. Stories are told every day by people for many different reasons. They are often told to give people hope when times are tough. They can also be used to give a message to a reader like how actions have consequences. Greek Mythology is no exception to this theory. Many messages and lessons could be learned from these myths like…

brilliant job at portraying his sordid depiction of twentieth century life. Unlike most other comics Watchmen was based on realistic sexual activities and feelings, political situations, and a superheroes realistic effect on the world they live in. The book begins eight years after the Keene Act was passed, which was a law that outlawed all masked vigilantes and the only active superheroes are Dr. Manhattan, and the Comedian, who still work for the US Government and Rorschach who fights crime…

Story of a Book Reading and writing are key elements of literature. Reading and writing were never a hobby for me. These two elements are fundamental principles for everyone’s education, so there goes me learning how to read and write. Only times I get interested in reading and writing is when I read and write something interesting, like something with a meaning that makes you think, or something with a cause. I love learning how to speak new languages, which interests me to end up reading and…
