The New Kids Book Analysis

For this book analysis, I read the book A Piece of Cake by Cupcake brown. It is a memoir told by Cupcake about her life. She starts the book at age 11, when she was living a normal and pleasant life with her mother in San Diego. She was quite close to her along with her step father (who, at the time, she thought was her biological father), and her uncle. Then out of nowhere, she finds her mother dead in her room and her life is shaken into disaster. The court system had to turn both her and her brother over to her biological father whom she never met, instead of giving her to the man she was raised by. Her father then sent her to a foster home where she was raped and beaten constantly. When she

The poem "Where Children Live" by Naomi Shihab Nye contrasts the effects and interests of adults to children by using visual imagery. Children have positive effects on a home because they have a “pleasant rumpledness” (line 1). The imperfections that result from children are endearing. In adulthood, there are no "lost shoes blooming under bushes" or "chipped trucks in the drive" (lines 8-9). The house is described as taking on a new face that is serious and "dignified" (line 7). The freedoms of childhood are lost when one matures; adults prefer routines, relaxation, and “slow-motion back and forth” instead of constant rushing like children (line 10). Children’s hearts are “dressed in the coat with a hood” while adults’ hearts take on “gloves

The works of Dr. Seuss have for so long accompanied children growing up, whether it be in school, at the library, or at home. For children, his books represented a land of adventure and wonderful rhyming imagery. But in our childhood years, who knew he had an underlying meaning that meant so much more? As a young adult today, I am now cognizant of Dr. Seuss’ hidden agenda and vow to implore this man’s exertions of bringing awareness to the problems America was facing not only nationally, but globally as well. In Dr. Seuss’ book, The Butter Battle Book, he attempts to “open the eyes of the world” by using interpretation, symbolism, and rhyme scheme as an effective tool for achieving peace.

I agree with your statements especially with teachers communicating with parents on strategies to help Els students with their learning. It was weird to know that some cultures don’t connect with the schools, they have it as that learning environment is for the classroom. Additionally, It was nice to read in Chapter 10 that program was created to help Els families such as Hmong Literacy Project that helps preserve their culture in their languages as well as in English.

The article “children on the battlefield”by Marci Scwartz describes the experience of boys in the military during the Civil War.

One Foot in Eden by award winning New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash is a story surrounding the lives of the people in the small town of Jocassee in South Carolina. A local Korean War veteran and town troublemaker, Holland Winchester, is missing and his body is nowhere to be found. The novel is separated in sections rather than the normal order of any other novel. It gives the story more depth. As the reader goes further into it, they soon learn how the lives of the people intertwine and what they have to do with Holland’s disappearance. One Foot in Eden has surely been analyzed by many critics and from very different perspectives. It is a very captivating Southern Gothic story loved by many. Has anyone looked deeper into what Rash

Throughout history, women have been portrayed in a variety of ways; by following a popular story that has been rewritten several times over the years, we can see this progression. “Little Red Riding Hood” was first written in 1697, and since then has been in a constant state of evolution and change (Elmore). We will be looking at the 1697 version of “Little Red Riding Hood” and comparing it to newer versions; this will give us a chance to see how attitudes towards women have changed over the years. So that we don’t confuse the different characters, we will explore “Little Red Riding Hood” one story at a time.

“Oranges” and “Seventh Grade” are both written by Gary Soto. They both have a similar theme and conflict, however, they do share some differences including format and tone. In “Oranges” he shows how the girl and boy are dating while in “Seventh Grade” they are not. However, the theme stays the same in both stories. Throughout the stories, you will see similarities and differences. I will tell you about some of the most important ones.

In Ann P. Beatty’s essay “Survival Skills at a School in LA”, she writes from an outsider’s perspective explaining the various situations that display the harsh realities of her school community. When the students speak of the situation, the reader connects and opens up to their world while they build trust with the information they are presented with. Beatty’s impactful details create an emotional attachment to the reader while she establishes a lack of authenticity on the subject.

“Just a minute, help is on the way,” he said, removing the tape covering her mouth and helped her out of the trunk.

During the 1900’s there was a huge controversy regarding the information within history textbooks about the Japan and it’s neighboring countries. Two of Japan’s neighboring countries were not pleased with the way that these textbook were written so these textbooks needed to be changed. Those two countries would be South Korea and China. When writing about something that happened in a war you must remember to put in the correct information.

Before high school, it seemed practically every book I read was my favorite. I was unable to choose just one to hold this title, but in my freshman English class we read “To Kill a Mocking Bird” by Harper Lee. After reading this book I knew that this was the one to hold the lofty title of my favorite book. This the story of a small southern town in Alabama where the Finch’s live. Scout becomes fascinated with an individual nicknamed Boo in a scary house. After small interactions with this individual, her view slowly begins to change. Her father, a lawyer, chose to defend an African-American who was accused of raping a white girl. This choice rattled the community and brought hatred onto the Finch’s.
