Seeing her read so much always gave me the thought that reading was good for the mind and soul! I never got to really ask her what it was about reading that she loved so much, and she passed away my senior year of high school, but the memories of her reading will always be with me. {RIP Mom 12-26-2007} Reading as a child provided the perfect time to cuddle up with mom or dad, and verbalize my newly learned knowledge as a kid. My absolute favorite thing to read as a youngster was Dr. Suess. The pictures and the silly stories kept me interested and wanting to read more.
12 Memories Narative Essay Brandi Smith 12 Memories Narative Essay Brandi Smith It was May 27th 2003 and my sister just graduating from high school. Some very amazing friends of the family didn’t get to make it to her graduation, so they showed up at our parents’ house afterwards. Now these people weren’t just any people they were some of my most favorite people, the lady, Lavern in her late fifties drove a white Suzuki Samurai and delivered the paper. I loved this woman more than anything in the world. She was so laid back and such a hoot to be around she always had some kind of new plant to give or remedy to tell us about.
The reason I chose this item is because in the book, the main character Pattyn Von Stratten used a journal write down all her troubles because her librarian Ms. Rose told her it would be good for her. The second item I chose was a diaper. I chose this item because all through the main characters life, she had to take care of herself and her six other younger sisters. Her mom and dad always made her change their diapers, feed them, and bathe them. The third item I chose was a ring.
After a lot of thought, she decided to give it a try. Soon she had published her very first book called When Charlie McButton Lost Power, and it was instantly a favorite for elementary school readers. When Suzanne saw that her book was so popular, she decided that she wanted to take her writing to the next level by writing a book that would capture the attention of older readers. In 2003, she published her first novel called Gregor, the Overlander. This book was loosely based on the fairy tale of Alice in Wonderland, except the main character falls into a manhole instead of a rabbit hole, making the
The books I check out at the LRC were interesting. The first Books I read were “Basket” by George Ella Lyon. I thought this book was fitted for young school aged children. This book would be categorized as a narrative poem. The author seems to tell a story about her grandmother and her basket that she always has with her.
She talks about the books she has hidden under her bed; she reminds her siblings to do their homework and takes great pleasure in reciting new words to her sister and teacher. Mom is often talking or playing or feeding one of the other kids so Mary has taken her time alone to further educate herself. In many single parents homes children see the almost unbearable struggle that their parent has to bear and this would serve as encouragement to the child, to excel in his or her studies to secure a better future for them. A better education will lead to a better job and a more secure
This was probably the first book I read that I found myself to be totally enthralled with, I sat down and started reading and got lost in the words. I got so into it that my mom would be trying to talk to me and I had no idea she was even there, I was sucked right in. It was about a girl (Patricia) who finds a pocket watch while on summer vacation at a family cabin where she doesn’t fit in, she is teased relentlessly by her cousins, and uses it to travel back in time to the summers her mom spent here, and while living in two time periods she finds ways to relate to her mother which she could not find in real life. The way it was written I could see myself right there in the story and I found that I related very well to Patricia. The watch was her temporary escape from reality, and for me thats books, she used the watch to learn about herself and I always find I am learning new things about myself when I read.
My plan succeed. When we’re back to my house I immediately hid the key while she was having a look around my house to avoid her to escape. When Lucy was looking at my father’s picture, I said he went to war for a really long time, I was surprised when she said her father went to a war too. I offered her a cup of tea and sat with her next to the fire. Lucy started telling me that she likes winter because she can play snow ball fights, ice-skating and also Christmas, she loves receiving so many presents.
Literacy Service Learning Project Kellen Brooks Brandon McHale Mr. Schoenbauer I am doing a literacy service learning project in school to help promote world literacy. I have chosen to help out my local library by saving them the trouble to categorize books for them. Brandon and I are partners for this project and we are hoping it will benefit our library by helping them out. I believe if all of our library books are categorized correctly it will allow people to find their books quickly and more efficiently resulting in the more books being read which will then result in worldwide literacy. The first day of our literacy service learning project we had to choose who we wanted to work with on this project.
Not to mention that all that stuff costs money. As she has gotten older, she has grown exponentially smarter. I can now see her trying to do all the things that I do. Several days ago I was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper. When I looked to my right, there was my daughter holding a Sesame Street book upside down trying her best to read it.
