Question 2: Njabulo Ndebele’s The Cry of Winnie Mandela “In the novel, the historical Winnie Mandela is imaginatively re-inscribed. She is removed from the public arena to a woman who is just one among many, a descendent of Penelope.” The road to self-realisation is a lonely road. Caught between self-exploration and social expectance, one cannot determine their highest height until they have experienced their underground low. Set in an era of apartheid regime, societal roles and government laws…

The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff For my first journal activity, I chose to read The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. At first, it seemed intimidating to read a book about a religion that was unfamiliar to me. Once I realized it is told using Winnie-the-Pooh, I was less anxious. The Tao of Pooh is a book that was written in the 1980’s, using Winnie-the-Pooh characters to explain the values and beliefs of Chinese Taoism. After reading this book, I can say that I learned a lot about Taoism. In…

"Hey, look at his butt!" Jack whispers, sending his friends into ceaseless bouts of giggles. After fifteen minutes of instruction, the group of five-year-olds retained one idea: Winnie-the-Pooh's hindquarters were more entertaining than learning about hand hygiene. I demonstrate proper handwashing techniques once more, as my pride, and the minute remnants of Vaseline on my hand, make a Usain Bolt-like dash towards the drain of the polished metal basin. As a new Red Cross Club, we had failed. As…

it happened to me. I know losing something doesn’t sound big at all because it’s just a thing you can get it back. what makes it a BIG deal is that it meant something to you and you can’t get it back. When i was 3 years old, my mom got me a Winnie the Pooh blanket on my birthday, and it was very important to me. I took it everywhere with me and it was like my bestfriend, but in blanket form.My mom told me when she gave it to me to never let it go and hold on…

“No man can paddle two canoes at the same time”. In other words this means no person can do everything by yourself. This helps the society today because people need more than just one person to make educatio for everyone. People in construction can not build a everything with just one person. In this paper “No man can paddle to canoes at the same time” explains why just one person can not do everything. Albert Einstein could not invented everything with just him he had to have help.…

service he began to write plays. He was actually successful writing plays, so he began writing books. Each book is a different adventure, but they all have one thing in common, the stories show Christopher Robin growing up throughout the entire Winnie-the-Pooh…

admired my son, Christopher Robin, enjoy time with one of his favorite animals in the entire world, Winnie the bear. I took a picture of Christopher and Winnie, because the memory was so beautiful, I didn't ever want to forget it. "Christopher, we have to go! Come on, buddy!" I called for him. I didn't want to make him leave, but it was getting dark and we had to. "Okay, Dad! I'm coming. Bye, Winnie!" Christopher left the bear…

optimistic character has helped me to admire the color orange, even today. I also realized that the characters’ houses aligned with the characters themselves. Christopher Robin, the boy from Winnie the Pooh, lived in a tree at the top of the hill in the center of the forest, being the center of his imagination. Winnie the Pooh lived at the bottom of a tree, which signified how he lacked initiative in order to be closer to the bees. Tigger, who lives in a treehouse high up in the trees signified…

People embed their faith into their objects. As I get ready for bed, I always look forward to cuddling up to my aged and raggedy pillow. Officially known as Chira, my fluffy and pure pillow, with a cute image of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, has worn down over the years; now what remains is a rag-like-cloth with tears and holes.
