The Missing Maple Syrp Mystery

She uses unique words and phrases, metaphors and descriptions, and witty but informative tone. She opens the readers’ minds up to what the world we are living in is becoming. It is everyone for themselves, therefore every individual should become educated on every subject that they can handle. There is no possible way someone should overeducate themselves; it is just an impossibility. Imagine what life would be like if eventually everyone only knew about what their degree was in. There would not be many conversations, no improvement in the quality of life, a shorter survival rate, etc. The worst feeling in the world is feeling useless or worthless which could happen if you do not expand your knowledge. Go out in the world and learn what can be learned by observing, reading, studying, listening, asking, tasting, touching, smelling, or anything that helps you learn. The world needs more intelligence in every area. It is time that we take a stand and educate ourselves and others as much as we possibly

To teach young children that being yourself is the best way to live, taking chances, being respectful and opening up always goes a long way. I feel she wants to show us that reading and writing are great separate but together it shows within. Words are taught to people from books, so if no one reads new words how will the next person learn the meaning.

Furthermore, the illustrations paint a beautiful picture that I like to think is an insight into a child’s mind, which I is a key element in this book and what makes it so great. Since the book is narrated by a child the intentional simplicity of the words and the controlled chaos that is the illustrations breathes unadulterated life into a rather normal children’s book.

Susan Beth Pfeffer decided that she wanted to be a writer when her father dedicated the law book he was writing to his daughter. Right then and there she wrote her first little story about the love between a pair of scissors and an Oreo cookie. Her childhood experiences form the basis of her writing, seeing that she grew up in the suburbs in New York. This explains why most of her books focus on young people growing up in the suburbs. Pfeffer went on to New York University. After getting her degree in radio, television, and motion pictures she started a writing course and her first novel Just Morgan was published. Throughout her life she has published more than 75 books and some of them include: A Year without Michael, Devils Den, Life as We Knew it and Family of Strangers. The themes of her books usually include emotional problems, divorce, historical fiction, and people having fantasies of modeling/acting. Her science fiction stories contain apocalyptic futuristic events like her novel Life as We Knew it.

I found this book to be very inspiring. I think Miss Agnes has a lot of the skills that we, as elementary education majors aspire to have one day. One thing that stood out to me throughout the book, was how encouraging she was towards her students. I do not recall a time when she said anything that made a student feel stupid or unsafe in the environment. Another thing I really loved was how she opened her students’ eyes to how big the world is. With students from such a small town it’s important that they knew they could travel to other places where they had more opportunities. I have had teachers that are similar to Miss Agnes, I’ve also had teachers that were the opposite of Miss Agnes. My fourth grade teacher was very much like Miss Agnes.

Joanne Rowling is an extremely influential person, and is admired by many people. I chose to write about her because she is one of my favorite authors, and she has a very interesting life. She was born on July 31, 1965, and lived with her mom, dad, and sister, Dianne. Rowling grew up surrounded by books, as her parents loves to read. “I lived for books… I was your basic common-or-garden bookworm, complete with freckles and National Health Spectacles” (harrypotter.bloomsbury.com). Rowling wrote her first book at the age of six. The book was about a rabbit, named Rabbit. When she was 11, she wrote a book about seven cursed diamonds, and the people who owned them. Her love for books certainly paid off on the long run!
