The Book ' Tale Of Despereaux '

I chose the book and film, The War of the Worlds. There are many similarities and differences between these two works. A large difference between the book and movie is that the book takes place in England, while the movie takes place in the United States. The time periods are also much different, the book takes place in the late 20th century while the movie takes place in early 21st century. Another notable distinction is the change of the protagonist from a married, middle-class man without kids to a divorced working-class father of two children. The social setting plays a significant role in the plot. The main character's wife left him for a more wealthy and prosperous man. Her parents in Boston never liked him because he wasn't very successful

In conclusion the book the color of water I enjoyed very much because most books will just have one kind of point of view but this book had a child and his mother and to figure out some history from both sides makes it interesting, and the certain chapters I talked about in the story is what I found was most important and interesting and I believe most people would agree, and this is a book I would highly

'What is your most loved book?' is a crazy question. You can't make us pick!

The book I selected was How the Grinch Stole Christmas because it was the first “big kid” book that I learned to read. My mom read it to me as a goodnight story. After I learned how to read it with my mom, I would read it every night with my brother and sister. This was the first book that I had always begged to read, no matter how many times I had read it, it was always very interesting, funny, and adventurous. The Dr. Seuss book How the Grinch Stole Christmas is the story of when The Grinch did not like Christmas at all but every Who in Whoville liked Christmas a lot.

The David Pelzter book I choose was “A Child Called It,” I’d never read it before so I was excited to get into it. A quick Google search found me the PDF of the book and I began reading it immediately. The first thing I noticed was the cover, I knew the book was familiar and instantly remembered seeing it all through my primary and secondary educational settings. I use to read books for fun before I started college, but since starting I had absolutely no real free time, so this assignment was a breathe of fresh air.

The novel I chose to read over the summer was Catch-22, by Joseph Heller. I chose this novel because it came highly recommended by my 9th grade English teacher, Ms. Moore. I also knew it was one of the most significant novels of the 20th century, and I was interested to see what it was about. I found the novel to my liking because I enjoy humor and good war stories, especially those involving Airmen.

I chose the book ‘Their Eyes Were Watching God’ from the Big Read Program. According to the Big Read’s webpage, the Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts, Managed by Arts Midwest. This program established in order to restore reading to the American culture center. The Big Read program aims to support creative reading in specific communities. As literary reading started to decline among people, especially the young, the Big read aims to support American literary reading by giving the readers the opportunity to read and discuss their reading within their communities ("The Big Read," n.d.).

I chose the book A Long walk to water for my literary pumpkin. I chose A long walk to water because it is a nonfiction book ,about Salva and Nya. The girl Nya is fetching water from a pond that is two hours' walk from her home, she makes two trips to the pond every day but then at the end of the book she gets good clean water. The boy Salva becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Then one day he goes to America and gets a family and then a couple weeks or months later he gets an email from his cousin and its about his father, then Salva sees his father and gets to hear things about his family and father.

Many young adult books contain common day problems. Common day problems that readers may have to deal with on a daily basis, or once in their lifetime. Problems that are emotional, physical, and mental, happen to people world wide. Problems are not just limited to children, teenagers, young adults, adults, or elderly people, they come and go from everyone 's life. One story that won a Newbery Award in 2004 written by Kate DiCamillo, The Tale of Despereaux:Being the story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread helps readers to understand some problems faced in life. This story contains many important and different themes that readers pick up on. Within the book the main themes that are dealt with or shown are betrayal, forgiveness and compassion, and light and dark.

The book that I have chosen is the The Cay written by Theodore Taylor. The theme of this book is an action and adventure. I believe the theme was very obvious. The genre of the story is a speculative fiction. The story starts off on an island called Curacao during the World War 2 era. In Curacao you meet a boy named Phillip Enright.

To conclude, everyone has their favorite book. Although, it is my belief that To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee will be the most satisfying read you will ever experience. Lastly, not only was To Kill a Mockingbird a success as a book, but it was quite successful as a

At first, I did not choose The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald because I did not really understand the description. I had chosen The treasure island By Robert Louis Stevenson and I read the first few pages but I am not into pirates so I did not connect with the book and changed my decision.

"Lord of the Flies because it is both a story with a message and because it is a great tale of adventure. My advice about reading is to do a lot of it." States Stephen King, in response to The Book That Changed My Life, a National Book Foundation program.

We start with a mouse, now all mice are small but this one, this one was tiny. He was born with HUGE ears and his eyes open. His name was Despereaux. Despereaux was different right from birth, he wasn’t

In his novel, Les Miserables, Victor Hugo identifies the principle social evils of French society through the actions and qualities of his characters. By depicting each of his characters’ struggles through destitute and oppressed measures, Hugo is able to identify the social errors of 19th century France. The fact that characters such as Valjean, Javert, Fantine, and Cosette, attempt to rise above poverty and redeem themselves indicate that such inequalities did, and still do, exist to this day. Through the use of feminist ideals and the criminal injustice system, Hugo attacks the principle social evils that each of his characters face in Les Miserables.
