    What does literacy mean? Literacy means something that you can do and familiar with it. Life has been an interesting journey for me. If my life were a book, the major highlight would be when I realized that I wanted to venture into literature and more specifically write in the Arabic language. My colleagues less appreciate the route I sought to pursue, but I chose it either way. There have been a lot of exciting milestones that have propelled me to what I am today despite my humble beginnings. This

    The book that I am currently reading is titled, That Summer by Sarah Dessen. While, I am reading I noticed I happen to remember events that happen. That’s why I excel in AR tests and get a large amount of points by the end of the year. I also seem to read a lot during my free time besides being on social media. Picking up a book and just reading for a while seems to just relax me and helps me get away from being on the Internet so much. I happen to read for hours at a time, when I do pick up a book

    Washington Irving existed in a historical of revolution; which he stimulated; everyone was trusting on him to take their views off the regular life and send it into the creative world of Irving’s creative stories.

    Humbert’s biggest desire is to explain that he has tried hard not to hurt people. He says “and I have toyed with many pseudonyms for myself before I hit on a particularly apt one. There are in my notes "Otto Otto" and "Mesmer Mesmer" and "Lumbert Lambert," but for some reason I think my choice expresses the nastiness best.” After closer examination of the novel, it seems as if Nabokov enjoys playing with the sounds of words, names and places throughout the journey. The most famous known double name

    Arriving in Nashville has slowly unwound pre-conceptions that have formed back home in Brisbane.

    “Fahrenheit” is a book that has an amazing story to tell. It’s exciting, thrilling, jaw dropping, and a bit confusing. It has everything you need to suspense to drama to happy ending. You might think that the author was trying to hard but in fact he took a concept and made it his own, and showed and told a very interesting story. Not only did he show he has a very interesting imagination but he’s one hell of a writer, and the summary on the back of the book does it no justice at all. My only complaint

    • 2 Pages

    One reason why we believe that this novel is unsuited for the grade 11 curriculum is because of the language and references it uses. In Brave New World, Huxley uses many references to Shakespeare’s stories such as: The Tempest, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, and King Lear. In the past, we most likely would have read these stories in detail at school; however in present day, we do not go in depth with as many of them as before. Since we do not have much knowledge with Shakespeare, many of the references
