Hank Zippster Book Report

“And we are back! Bottom of the seventh out here in Chesterfield. The score is 7-6, Crushers are winning and the Stix are at their last at bat. It’s about as hot as a chili pepper in August.

How would you feel if everything you worked for in life, was left to rot?

“Dr. Seuss was probably the best loved and certainly the best-selling children’s book writer of all times.” said New York Times Book Review. Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. His mother’s name was Henritta Seuss Geisel and she loved to read to him and his sister, Marnie. As a result, Ted got his love of reading and repartee from her. Ted’s father was also named Theodor Seuss Geisel. His father helped him become more involved with machines and he made weird gadgets in his shop. One gadget actually made arms more muscular.

After reading the book titled “The Outsiders,” I learned that different types of people have different reactions and lifestyles. “The Outsiders” had many different characters, both minor and major, that played a role in the story. There are three characters in the novel that I have a strong feeling for, Ponyboy, Cherry, and Paul. I consider these three characters as either a BAE/BFF, Frenemy, or Extermination.

Genre #7: Since the project is named Billy’s Scrapbook I decided to add a few photos that were major key points in his life. For instance, the saucer , his daughter’s wedding, a Tralfamadorian, and the Veteran Hospital all point to his story of his encounter with Aliens. After getting electro shocked for his mental breakdowns, my speculation leads me to believe it made his grip on reality loosen even more. A scrapbook also contains mainly happy or positive moments of one's life and Pilgrim certainly believed that his trip to Tralfamadore was soul changing. I wanted to do polaroids since my bookmark was a photo I took with my 1970 polaroid and is close to the time frame of the book. I think it made me able to incorporate a piece of me into this

Jack Gantos was a young man, just about to start his life, when searching for writing inspiration went a little bit too far. Gantos tells his journey of how he got sucked into the plan that landed him into prison. He is sure to tell every detail of what happened and his emotions throughout this rocky period of his life.

Dr. Seuss is a children’s book author. His most famous works are Cat In The Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. A pattern that people have noticed in his books is that they incorporate messages about the problems in the world. Books like the Lorax, the Butter Battle Book, The Star-Belly Sneetches, and Gertrude McFuzz. In fact, that’s what we’re going to be discussing today. This essay will be going into more depth on 3 books that cover the social issues of environmentalism or deforestation, racism, and wanting to change yourself to fit other’s standards.

Many kids complain that classic children’s literature turns them off. They state that the language is old and the lifestyles are old. But the classics are still required in school for a good reason. The lives of children in the past are a source of living history. What better way is there for kids to learn history than through the eyes of another child?

I love Johnson’s book. Like Johnson suggests, a good place to start is with a basic text on race, class, and gender. Education is key! As we move along our journey there is an endless amount learning to be done. I’m grateful I was introduced to this book as it helped my awareness, passion, and motivation to enact change. I would also recommend this book to others on the journey.

I would really like to have the main character, Polly Nathoy as a close friend because she is by far one of the most caring, genuine people in the novel. It is clearly shown how much she cares about the ones she loves and how she would risk her like for the people she cares about. During a scene where the man she loves got shot, she has more hope than anyone. She knew she had to help him pull through. I would obviously want someone like this as a friend, not only because of how generous she is, but because sometimes she needs someone to be just as nice to her. Another example in the book would be when she meets a little girl for the first time that is having a hard time adjusting to her boarding school and being away from her parents. Polly

For our reading conference, A. chose to read the book Duck For President by Doreen Cronin, which her mother had recently purchased for her. First, I asked her to read the book by herself without me interrupting her with any questions. I did this so I could assess her reading skills. Once, she was done reading, I asked her to tell me what she understood about the story. What I observed is that A. reads a little too fast, sometimes misreading a couple of words. She also does not read the nonconventional parts of the text (things written within the pictures), which would help her better understand the story. A. did ask what certain words meant (senator, government), but she did not try to find them out for herself. She did

Robert Heinlein sees the world in a different way that most of us. From his poor life in midwest America to the time he wrote his book, Starship Troopers, he is driven to see America thrive. He has a strong appeal to the military and humanities values in this book. He uses science fiction to refer to what might happen in the future.

The characters in The Last of The Mohicans; specifically Hawkeye, Uncas, and Chingachgook, because these three protagonists remind me of the heros I remembered in video games and movies. I seen not only the main protagonists in other stories act similar to Hawkeye, Uncas, or like Chingachgook; but I seen people who are viewed as supporting characters in a way.
