Old Yeller is a coming of age novel set in 1860s Texas that details the relationship between the Coates family, especially the 14-year-old son, Travis, and a stray dog named Old Yeller. The dog is named both for his dingy yellow coat (“yeller” as pronounced in the southern accent that permeates the narrative) and his bark, which sounds more like a yell than the standard animal call. Yeller comes into the Coates family’s life after Jim, the father of the family, leaves on a cattle drive to Kansas. Before he leaves, Jim tells Travis that he is now the man of the house until he returns home, a designation which motivates Travis to take responsibility and make sacrifices for the good of his family. If Travis can prove himself worthy of the designation of being a man, his father promises to give him a man’s horse.

The book I read was called Hoot. It was created by Carl Hiaasen in 2002, and won a Newberry Honor 2003.

The characters in this story are mainly of a young boy maybe a third grader named Jack. Jack seems irritated at the beginning of the story and shows throughout the story his love and passion for his dog. The Yellow Dog/Lab, Sky is Jacks dog and seems to be very in love with Jack and glad that he picked him to be adopted and to have a real home. Sky is caring and happy with Jack. The teacher Miss. Stretchberry is talked about briefly as a character and she is the teacher of Jack throughout the school year in the story. Miss.

The unnamed narrator, who is never fully introduced, narrates the story of “The Yellow Wall-Paper”, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, in the form of a diary/journal. Confined in a mansion to treat her mental illness of depression the narrator becomes obsessed with the ugly yellow wallpaper that covers the walls of her room. Ultimately, I presume that the wallpaper itself represents her relationship that she has with her husband, while the women behind the wallpaper represents herself; which go hand-in-hand.

Scout and Jem Finch live in Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930s. Every Summer Dill Harris visits and they spend their time trying to figure out a way to get Boo Radley out of his house. The Radley place is “haunted” and Boo never comes out of there. That summer they’re unsuccessful, DIll leaves and school starts. The next winter, a neighbor's house catches on fire and burns to the ground. While Scout and Jem stood sleepily watching everyone fight the fire in the snow, someone puts a blanket around Scout without her noticing. She later found out that it was Boo Radley and she was creeped out.

In January of 1892, author Charlotte Perkins Gilman published her short story, “The Yellow Wall-paper” in The New England Magazine. Gilman’s work illustrates the public perception of woman’s health in the 19th century and is considered to be an important part of early American feminist literature. During the 19th century, women were confined to the idea of the “ideal” woman and the “domestic sphere.” According to Barbara Welter, in her 1966 paper entitled “The Cult of True Womanhood: 1820-1860,” an ideal woman embodied piety, domesticity, pureness and submissive. Women would find true happiness in taking care of their families and living a simple and uncomplicated life. “The Yellow Wall-paper” follows the mental deterioration of the female narrator, who recently gave birth, as she follows her doctor’s orders to relax, eat healthily and exercise so her health will improve. Gilman’s “The Yellow Wall-paper” exposes the danger the antiquated belief has on women in the 19th century. The use of the yellow wallpaper illustrates a physical manifestation of the narrator’s descent into madness due to loss of outside stimuli.

The novel starts off by creating the premise in which the narrator and main protagonist, Huckleberry Finn introduces himself and the other characters in their current circumstances. He explains that in the previously written book, he and his friend Tom Sawyer had discovered money that robbers had hidden in a cave, making them wealthy. The Widow Douglas had taken Huckleberry into her care as her son, attempting to civilize his behaviors and demeanor. Huck couldn’t stand this change of lifestyle and tried to run away only to be chided by Tom, urging him to respectfully return to her. She has been teaching him etiquette and manners yet has failed to fully reform Huck and mold him into the son she wanted him to be. He didn’t like praying before dinner, engaging in religious studies, and was prohibited from smoking. Her sister, Miss Watson gives him spelling lessons and reprimands Huck for his restlessness. She teaches Huck about a “bad

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
