Book Analysis

For this book analysis, I read the book A Piece of Cake by Cupcake brown. It is a memoir told by Cupcake about her life. She starts the book at age 11, when she was living a normal and pleasant life with her mother in San Diego. She was quite close to her along with her step father (who, at the time, she thought was her biological father), and her uncle. Then out of nowhere, she finds her mother dead in her room and her life is shaken into disaster. The court system had to turn both her and her brother over to her biological father whom she never met, instead of giving her to the man she was raised by. Her father then sent her to a foster home where she was raped and beaten constantly. When she

In Kevin Clarke’s essay from Speaking of Reading, the greatest obstruction faced by Clarke in learning to read was his own negative mindset and way of looking at himself as a reader. When Clarke was young and had just commenced reading it was evident that he had struggles and even says himself “I was too afraid I wouldn't be able to understand another book” (4). Clarke saying this illustrates that he created his own negative way of thinking by fearing failure and not understanding something which is a major obstacle for him in learning to read. In addition to this, Clarke feels as if he doesn’t have what it takes to be a superior reader and goes on to say “I assumed I was wrong...I don’t trust myself to read it right”

To being, the first chapter brings the colorful history of Liberty University.

One Foot in Eden by award winning New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash is a story surrounding the lives of the people in the small town of Jocassee in South Carolina. A local Korean War veteran and town troublemaker, Holland Winchester, is missing and his body is nowhere to be found. The novel is separated in sections rather than the normal order of any other novel. It gives the story more depth. As the reader goes further into it, they soon learn how the lives of the people intertwine and what they have to do with Holland’s disappearance. One Foot in Eden has surely been analyzed by many critics and from very different perspectives. It is a very captivating Southern Gothic story loved by many. Has anyone looked deeper into what Rash

For my summer reading assignment, I read, explored and analyzed the book, Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. I chose this book because psychology and economics have always interested me, and this book specifically looked at the psychological aspect of our economy. I thought it would be an interesting experience to read it. I decided to take AP World History because during my 8th grade year, social studies really started to interest me. My teacher, Mr. Mark Matthews, really made history come alive for me through his teaching, and all of the simulations he used. I found a sincere interest in history and did well. I have never been the best student in my class, but I always do well and find myself interested in the topics

This book cover is appealing to me because it shows a peaceful farm with clouds hovering above it. The cover depicts the first part of the novel when Claude is one his farm in Nebraska. It shows his farm and his fortunate house in the view, and has peaceful shades of color making it an attractive book cover. I chose this image because One of Ours by Willa Cather has several different book covers. This is one of the most appealing to me because they not only provide a pretty picture but provide an illustration of events that occurred in the novel. This book cover, in particular, illustrates the days that Claude had on the farm in the first two parts of the novel. It is also the farm that Claude grew up in so it would only be logical for it to provide a feeling of tranquility and calmness when looking at a hometown. It may even remind someone of their own hometown, and all of the joys and memories made as a child.

First and foremost, web zine articles must include a catchy, insightful, and attention grabbing headline. The Headline encourages readers to move past the title onto the article. The more attractive and eye-catching the headline looks for the reader to read the text. Without a catchy headline the article is overlooked. The goal is to attract and maintain readers to read the web zine articles. Observing a headline it gives a glimpse of what the article is about and whom the article is for. Matt Terzi titles his article “Seven Reasons Why Donald Trump Would Make a Terrible president.” Just by observing the headline the purpose is to provide to his audience seven reasons why Trump shouldn't be president. Also, the audience is directed towards

The core pages in the Big Book structure their information in a step by step fashion. It begins with Bill’s Story. The story of how Bill started his own journey through alcoholism and became a founding member of A.A. The following chapters target the alcoholic in different areas of their life. Chapter two and three talk about how, through science, spirituality, and personal experience, the founding authors discovered the solution to their alcoholic illness and the ways they could beat it. Chapter four targets the alcoholic who may shy away from the religious or spiritual talk about “God” and how the program handles the idea of God or a “higher power” as those in the group see it.

The book What We Saw is one of my favorite books after I read it. It really grabbed my attention, I pictured it and acted like it was a movie. I’m living in the 21st century when you wrote this book so I understand everything that was going on in it, but I would want to know why you wrote a book about someone getting rapped and having kids read it? I understand that every kid will probably go to a party with under age drinking and no parental supervison, but there might not have something like this go on.

I call myself the Book Pusher because I go beyond just blogging/reviewing. I talk about books to everyone and encourage people to turn off the t.v and read instead. I like to help people find books that they would enjoy not just what is popular so they can learn to love reading and understand books can take you to amazing places and experience incredible things.

Sam, in your essay you analyzed aspects of the cover that I would not have immediately thought of. You brought up interesting points about both the covers and there influence in the classroom, but I still wonder about a few of the points mentioned in your paper.

The novel focuses on the lives Aga Akbar, a deaf-mute carpet mender, & his son, Ishmael.

Encouraged by his uncle, Aga develops his own written language based on cuneiform inscribed in a sacred cave on Saffron Mountain ordered by the first Persian king 3,000 years ago. Ishmael is now attempting to decode his father’s words into a book in Dutch after Aga’s death while the narrator describes events unknown to
