Onion in Me People have a tendency to look remarkably like their pets. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t look much like Onion; her round blue eyes, stubby legs, and short squished snout are all but alien to my own features. On the outside, I bear practically no resemblance to my feline friend. Yet on the inside I hope that I look even remotely as beautiful as she does. Onion was only 2 months old, a furry ball of snow, vulnerable and fragile in the arms of a giant. She didn’t eat, her…

Shadow (Rough Draft) Behind me, in front of me, besides me, and even under me. My dog Tucker is my very own shadow. From when I get home to when I go to bed he is my little brown and black shadow. Even when the sun isn’t shining, he sticks to my side like glue. My shadow follows me to the couch, the kitchen, and also my bed. I have to tell me shadow “NO” when he tries to follow me into the bathroom. Even tho having a real life shadow can get annoying, I wouldn’t trade his warming eyes and soft…

it can no longer fulfill its function according to the use to which it is commonly put (Brown, 2003). The teddy bear is qua teddy bear, meaning that the maker – or the process of making – does not make the teddy bear a teddy bear. Many people cling to teddy bears that they do not even remember being given or picking out, let alone knowing who made it. Sometimes the most “loved” teddy bear is not the newest one, but the threadbare, well-traveled companion with a life history aligned to that of…

I chose The Legend of the Teddy Bear by Frank Murphy as the book I authenticated. According to the application “Epic” this book is an eight to ten year old reading level for students reading by themselves. This picture book tells the story of our 26th president and how his trip to hunt bears in Mississippi turned out to become the starting point of making teddy bears for children. I focused on some of the five main points that the authors of “Authenticating Historical Fiction: Rationale and…

The story that resonated with me the most was The Pink Stuffed Teddy Bear. In my perception, this was a perfect example of a transportation story that successfully achieved juxtaposing the persistent and the liminal. As I first began reading the story, I was immediately transported to an airport. I was able to be transported when author said “we all recognize this person in airports…” because I have been to the airport many times, so I was able to mentally categorize all the types of people that…
