Journal Entry #7: Protecting the Interests of Minorities (p. 232) The world is full of controversy and tough choices. We love to fight for our freedoms, to say what we want and stand up for what is right. But there are a lot of times where there’s no clear right and wrong, and there are good, logical, reasonable people on each side of the argument that have just as much a right to defend their beliefs as you do. We tend to forget that, especially in such a bipartisan society full of politically…

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…

Angela has just run away from what is arguably the worst wedding in the world and has fallen in love with the most magnificent city on the globe – New York City. She had fled the wedding to her philandering boyfriend and run to New York with nothing more than a passport, a pair of Louboutins, and a stolen and crumpled bridesmaid…

Does the sight of a bookstore make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end? Do words leap off the page as you read a particularly good book? Do you long to put pen to page or, as is the tendency these days, fingers to keyboard, ready to create your very own world? Have you ever, in utter secrecy, given in to the controversial temptation of book-sniffing? Don't worry my friend, you are not alone. And chances are you're already a writer and you just haven't realised it yet. And, of course,…

Product – Flipkart started with selling books. It sold books for two years as the management and shipment of books seemed easy. However, after its expansion, flipkart started dealing with products like washing machines, air coolers, mobiles, laptops, cameras, etc. Flipkart can be considered as a service platform that acts as an interface between sellers and buyers. Hence the product offering in its marketing mix is classified into 2 categories, product to the seller and product to the buyer.…

A children’s book should capture the imagination of the people who read it. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, four siblings walk through a wardrobe and into the fantasy land of Narnia. Pembroke Meadows Elementary school needs engaging books to fill their Little Free Library, which is a neighborhood book exchange. C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe deserves a spot in the Little Free Library because it builds children’s character, because it is a timeless classic, and because…

Recently, I read the book Tuck Everlasting, written by Natalie Babbitt. While reading, I noticed how imagery, motifs, and metaphors play a great role in her writing style. I found an enormous amount of symbolism represented in metaphors and motifs in the book. Because from my perspective, the theme in Tuck Everlasting is how everything has a conclusion, being appreciative will improve your life, I found that the music box symbolized more than just a box that played mysterious music. While using…

escape into other worlds by simply opening a book was commodity that I needed in my life. Living as another person, experiencing other extraordinary worlds, and fighting in wars and battles was more entertaining than watching television.…

It was a cold day early December. We stepped out into the icy tundra and and ran for the car. The inside of the car felt like it was below 0°. As we started on the highway the snow looked so graceful as it fell on the streets and on the passing. My Grandma and I were heading over to my aunt's house to make Christmas candies. Once we were there and inside we got everything set up. The chocolate was melting on the stove, the parchment paper was laid neatly across the table, recipes taped on…

Without sounding terribly cliché I honestly have to say that this book found me, rather than me finding it. I was having difficult time picking the right book. As I’m sure many of you are aware, a title on a list isn’t really much to go off of. One day I found myself in the library after school reading Catch-22. The book is probably good in its own right, but I might have been crushed under the weight of its 453 pages. Then, Mrs. Maynard the librarian taps me on the shoulder and hands me a…
