The Book Show

Over the summer I chose to read the book “The Time Traveler's Wife” written by Audrey Niffenegger. This book was very interesting to read and opened up my mind to see love in a completely different way. The main character, Henry, meets this girl, Clare, at a library in Chicago. At this time he is 28 years old and he doesn't know is that he's met her before in the past due to him having a time traveling disorder. Clare remembers meeting him at age 6 while Henry was 43 years old. She has a diary…

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…

understand what he was reading, not just having fun while reading. He wrote, [I] was an omnivorous reader, principally because reading matter was scarce and I had to be grateful for whatever fell into my hands” (Berkove 25). 2. London read many books that helped him view the world as physical and intellectually, which determined his success later in his life…

I going to a local used book store on Saturday mornings. It was the coolest thing because you could trade in your old books for new books. That store is long gone, but a new similar concept store has taken over my life. Anytime I’m looking for a particular book, 2nd & Charles is my first stop. A particular book I’ve been looking for is The Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes and after months of searching I finally found the book. I was not disappointed, by this captivating book. If anything, I was…

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…

Reading was the first activity I have wholeheartedly enjoyed. I have spent countless days wanting to do nothing more than to lose myself in oceans of text. Reading had no downside for me. It wasn’t boring or too challenging; I was able to read whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Reading was a freedom that I practiced avidly; for years teachers would praise my “mature and intellectual actions” as I hungrily hunted bookshelves for a new novel, but that all changed once I entered the seventh grade…

Protestant Reformation the most because it allowed for Martin Luther to spread his ideas and the 95 theses around Europe. According to one estimate, one third of the books, 300,000 books, printed between 1518 and 1525 were written by Luther (Doc. B). Since so many of the books were being written by Martin Luther, the odds of people reading his books greatly increased, spreading his thoughts and ideas throughout Germany and parts of…

especially to children who just learned how to read or write for the first time. Learning how to read can be one of the most exciting events in a child’s life. The first time I ever read a book I felt empowered. I felt as though I had done something amazing. In the first grade I was assigned my very first book report. Up until…

him and poke fun at him. The cleaning lady does play a larger role because she the only contrast to every other character reaction and treatment towards Gregor.She brings a different view and judgement towards Groger because everyone else in the book reaction are mostly the same. 2. Gregor is similar to someone that has a serious debilitating illness as both are useless to society.A person who is ill can not work and provide for themselves or their family. Also both…

One main idea that can be seen in the four books we read and the movie that we watched, everyone is treated specific ways because of how they are different from the others around them. The way that people interact with others is based mostly on how different they are from them. Reading about how things use to be and being able to see how little has changed over time just confirms that we need to work together to change things for the better. Everyone knows how people will treat others different…
