1,258 wordsJonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach is basically about the story of an adventurous seagull's life. It looks like a book for a grade school reading level. After you scratch beneath the surface, however, I found the book is filled with things many fourth graders probably wouldn't grasp. Such as the use of use of personification, symbolism, and didactic themes. The story starts as a we are introduced to a young gull named Jonathan Livingston Seagull. He finds he is being oppressed by societ...

Teach Their Children Barbara Kingsolver
1,600 wordsBarbara Kingsolver's book High Tide in Tucson: Essays from Now or Never is a collection of twenty-five different essays.

For my writing, I chose four of those essays: High Tide in Tucson, Stone Soup, Somebody's Ba...

" So, besides her American accent and a hyphenated ending on her answer to the SAT questionnaire about her ethnic background, what's the difference? In Amy Tan's enjoyable novel, The Joy Luck Club, about the relationships and experiences of four Chinese mothers and four Chinese-American daughters, I found out the answer to this question.
