The Cat in the Hat

On the way there we stopped by Beautiful Gate (the orphanage were Caleb was from), because I wanted to get an African mom and baby pencil that they make there. We also stopped by The Hat, because I wanted to pick up a few more gifts. After the hat we headed to Ladybrand. The girls had music lessons and they needed to do some shopping. We did not have prayer this evening, because a lot of people are away and we are heading to Russenburg tomorrow. After eating lunch…

remains of herbs a graveyard of broken skeletons in the heat, and down, down the hill towards the forest shade where shadows pooled in refreshing clumps. She still watched for the flicker of Cinder’s tail between the tree roots, despite knowing the cat would be dozing by library fan like any reasonable being and not out in the heat of the day. A few more steps and she reached the burntwood. A fire had gone through this part of the forest years ago and drooping green shoots clung to blackened…

on animals. It is argued that the common animals being tested are so different from us biologically that it is completely pointless to perform testing on them; it would be better to not test at all, finding other methods. In some cases, it is proven hat there are alternative methods available to researchers so they can accomplish their experiments without the use of…

Disparities of social norms and social stratification is a common theme by Southern gothic writers such as William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connell. As it can be seen in both A Good Man Is Hard to Find and a rose for Emily. The two portray interplay from generations to another which manifests itself as resistance to change in previous generations. The grandmother in A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Emily in a rose for Emily are more or less the same to one another regarding to the themes in the…

Nature is very evident within Moore’s poems as she frequently uses animals as a connection to humans thoughts and actions. In “Silence” an illustration of a cat and mouse introduce a new idea to benefit human experiences. We are given the image of “the mouse's limp tail hanging like a shoelace from its mouth” to demonstrate restraint (7). The father is telling the child that sometimes silence is the key to…

I became literate at a very young age around one or two years old and people could understand what I wanted. For example, bolitas (meant balls in Spanish) cooked beans and no bolitas was refried beans. I had a way of commutating with my family but sometimes I would forget what the word was and I used to describe the item itself. They would eventually understand what I mean. Unlike one of the cases in Deborah Brandt’s Sponsors of Literacy, I did not have a tutor or anything like that. However, I…

I gathered my satchel, umbrella and notepad to start my exploration of Oahu's Byodo-In Temple. I shoved a crumpled green wad of paper at a man sitting in a small booth near the entrance. He took my money and gave me a half-smile. I found my way to the bridge that crossed a small creek of muddy, water that was swelling from the many days of rain we had in the past few days. While partially crossing the bridge, I stopped mid-stroll in amazement of the grand structure that was beore me. All of the…

of the plot, but we can easily expand this to a more in-depth understanding. During the summer, Harry is visited by a house-elf, Dobby, who gives him a warning not to return to Hogwarts. He ignores this warning and returns to school. The caretaker’s cat is petrified with a threatening message on the wall saying that the Chambers of Secrets has been opened. Doing some research in the library Hermione learns that a chamber was opened at Hogwarts fifty years ago and a student was killed. Students…

Loneliness is one of the strongest emotions to a human. It affects how a person views themselves and the world around them. This emotion has a direct impact on a person’s central belief system. It can influence the choices someone makes and if given the power, it can dictate a person’s life. In Yann Martel’s “Life of Pi”, Pi’s psychological state of loneliness causes him to negatively impact his relationship with God, contaminates Richard Parker with loneliness, and as a result leaves him with…
