Comparing The Lark And Her Children In The Traveler And The Bear

If you’re looking for a great story to read that’s about a young boy who learns a life lesson I have an example for you. Gary Soto’s essay “Looking for Work” is a short story narrative about his experience with work when he was nine years old. Soto idolizes the T.V. shows that are the traditional families, which have wealth and have a daily routines. Soto wants to mirror his life to the T.V. shows but realizes that his family can’t and won’t, due to their poor living conditions, so he decides that he is going to make money so his life will be the way he wants. Soto then explains his experiences with working at his young age and other short stories but in the end realizes he is a nine-year-old boy who doesn’t need the “Perfect Family” to be happy.

A sibling, is one of two or more individuals having one common parent, or at least that is how Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines it. The sibling set of Atticus and Aunt Alexandra show how much more the term sibling means. The pair share many similarities, mainly involving how they both place confidence in their morals. Yet, like all siblings, they disagree too, especially when it comes to how Jem and Scout should be raised. Harper Lee distinguishes this special bond between Atticus and Aunt Alexandra in To Kill a Mockingbird. In Summary, Atticus and Aunt Alexandra are similar as siblings through their strong morals, but differ with their parenting methods.

Margaret Laurence's A Bird in the House differentiates itself from the four other novels that make up the 'Manawaka series' that has helped establish her as an icon of Canadian literature. It does not present a single story; instead, it is a compilation of eight well-crafted short stories (written between the years 1962 and 1970) that intertwine and combine into a single narrative, working as a whole without losing the essential independence of the parts.

My story I just read was Mrs.Majeska and Sara Duck.I think she is a mental woman that was ready to go out in the spring.She put on her brown sweater that came to her knees,she also put on her boots that came to her knees.She went to go out to get leeks for her soup.She found a red rubber duck.She grabbed it and took it home and she said to it ‘You are going to get a .bath’.So Sara got a bath and was happy to live with Mrs.Majeska

Anglo-Saxon literature often expressed concepts of survival, battle, exile, male dominance in society, and loyalty to the lord. These aspects are strongly represented in both “The Wanderer” and “The Wife’s Lament”. Both elegies deliver themes of self-exile and the mourning of lost companions. Ideas of longing and alienation are present in these two Anglo-Saxon poems through use of figurative language, structure, point of view, comparison, and various other literary techniques.

For my essay I have chosen the following stories: Little Red Riding Hood and The Wolf and Also The Three Little Pigs. In the story grandmamma was vulnerable and scared. Grandma opened the door against her better judgement. Grandma was weak and tough. She reminds me of my own grandma very kind against Red on judgement at times. She knew his grin was ill willed and allowed her to be eaten. The afraid kind lady should have never let her guard down. I can also remember a situation when my grandma who was put in the same position with one of our neighbors. Our neighbor sold my grandma some candy, a orange and a curling irons for twenty dollars. I made the neighbor give her back the twenty dollars. The neighbor for instance was the wolf and I would

Understanding human behaviors is a complicated job because it requires many studies on various people in a long period of time. Sarah Orne Jewett introduces an image of a nine-year-old girl, Sylvia, innocence mind with a mature decision into her story, “A White Heron.” Sylvia does not want to betray the love for nature from an offer of an attractive hunter. She discovers what is most important to her after overcoming many internal thoughts about what she will do with the money from the hunter’s offer, or fulfills her passion with a natural world. The story is contained both situational and dramatic irony, which provides a different point of view of Sylvia in the society. Not everyone is motivated by money. The setting and keeping of economic power is central to Sylvia’s existence and activities.

Harper Lee’s Novel To Kill a Mockingbird details the life of young Scout Finch and brother Jem Finch, who is growing up in a time of racial uniqueness. Jem and Scout Finch are what most would call a typical family growing up in the small Alabama town of Maycomb. They encounter many different obstacles during their childhood missions with many characters making the novel an interesting read. Throughout the book, Lee is showing Jem and Scout grow up and become mature young adults. This novel, written by Harper Lee, demonstrates the themes of growing up, Innocence and most importantly, racism.

Lisa had the idea to try to learn how to drive a car and on page 31, Lisa was trying to learn and in the book it said, “The nervousness began to leave her. She started the engine again and set off very slowly this time, completely unaware of the many astonished eyes that followed her.” This shows that children are capable of learning how to do something by theirself and they don’t need an adult around to help or guide them.

“My old grandpa liked to tell those stories best. There is one about Badger and Coyote who went hunting and were gone all day, and when the sun was going down they found a house. There was a girl living there alone and she had light hair and eyes and she told them they could sleep with her. Coyote wanted to be with her all night so he sent Badger into a prairie-dog hole, telling him he thought he seen something in it. As soon as Badger crawled in, Coyote blocked

Harper Lee, known by many as “Nelle”, was very independent and brave. She kept to herself and lived her life according to herself. No one else besides the people she loved and lived for. She never wanted others changing the way her life was lived. Interviews were never allowed by her so it was always very difficult for people to understand her way of living from her point of view. She was passionate about her writings and future of being a lawyer, Lee was also sensible about her surroundings and others.

The rest of the book, Chapters 6-11, were great and I loved every bit of them. The book ends at a bit of a cliffhanger, and I plan on reading the next book in the series on my own time.

Charles Lamb once said, “Lawyers, I suppose, were children once.” The author of To Kill

Quality parenting is key in the upbringing of children. Without a suitable role model to follow, a child’s life wouldn’t be the same. An example of good parenting is Atticus, the father of Scout and Jem Finch in the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird. He seeks to instill multiple values in his children, and teaches them life lessons that they never would’ve known without his guidance. In the suspenseful novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, it states that Atticus is an extremely good father, informs Scout and Jem the values of life, and continuously does his best to raise his children.

In chapter 4 of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the children are playing a game based off of rumors they hear about the Radleys. They didn’t just make up these rumors themselves though, they hear them from adults. For example, “It was a melancholy little drama woven from bits and scraps of gossip and adult neighborhood legend.” (Lee 52). A perfect example of children echoing what their parents say could be, when a small child says a curse word or says something inappropriate. They obviously had to have heard it from somewhere and the people that small children are around the most are their parents. This goes to show that we should all be careful about what we say around children because you never know who it will go back to.
