An Analysis Of Junie B. Jones And Some Sneaky Peeky Spying
The Park That is Not Parked Out of all of the American writers, Barbara Parks is one that intrigues many young people today. Being born to an average family, Barbara was never expected to achieve such greatness. Her many works have inspired other writers to become successful. Her later years were filled with difficulties and hardships, but she stuck through and faced them with her husband, Richard Parks, whom she married in 1969 (Parks). Doris Tidswell and Brooke Tidswell welcomed the birth of their first baby girl on April 21, 1947 (Fox). She was born in Mount Holly, New Jersey (Parks). She was however not the only child, she had an older brother, Brooke Tidswell (Parks). As she got older, Parks began her career at New Jersey’s Rider College …show more content…
Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying is described as Junie B. is the best spier in the world. Reasons being she has sneaky feet, and her nose does not whistle when she breathes. But guess what? Junie B. might be real sneaky and real peeky. But when she spies on Mrs., she could get into real trouble (Parks). 410 is the Lexile measure. There are advantages and disadvantages to this book as well. One advantage is Junie B. Jones keeps you on the edge of your seats see what stunt she is going to pull next and she is hysterical ("Hip-Hip-Hooray for Junie B."). A disadvantage is some people say she has terrible grammar and their kids are learning to talk like Junie B. Jones thinking it is correct grammar ("How to Talk like Honey Boo Boo.").
Another book Barbara Parks wrote is Junie B. Jones: Aloha-ha-ha. This book is about Junie B. and her family are going on a vacation to Hawaii! And ha! Mr. Scary is giving Junie a real, actual camera to keep a photo journal of her trip! But taking good vacation pictures is not always easy. Because what if there is an unfortunate inner tube incident at the swimming pool? (And, oh my! Let’s not even mention what happens if a tropical bird gets tangled in your hair!) Will Junie B.’s vacation end up picture-perfect or will her trip to Hawaii be aloha-horrible? 360 is the Lexile measure

The revolution was happening; there was no turning back and no denying that America was going to gain independence from Great Britain. Washington needed a plan, a way to foresee what the British planned to do next. Washington’s only solution was to resort to spying.…

    Benjamin Tallmadge And The Culper Spy Ring

    Benjamin Tallmadge and George Washington organized the agents of the Culper Spy Ring by tasking them with specific instructions to conceal their identities and secret activities. Washington assigned Tallmadge to take charge of the intelligence work and recruit individuals best suited for the dangerous role. “Because of his experience gathering intelligence in the 2nd Continental Light Dragoons and the high regard in which he was held by Gen. George Washington, the commander of the Continental Army, Tallmadge was asked in November 1778 to organize an intelligence service to operate in British-occupied New York City.” He also had to figure out a strategy of safely delivering intelligence from British occupied New York to the Continental army…

    Miss Stephanie’s Slander

    When searching for a new book to read, people are often drawn to one that has an intriguing cover, not even bothering to learn what the book is actually about. Although the old saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” may seem foolish, people often use this tendency. Similar to judging a book by its cover, people commonly judge others based on rumors and reputations. Harper Lee depicts this theme in To Kill a Mockingbird, demonstrating that one must dig beyond the surface to find the truth. Although Miss Stephanie’s outrageous claims about Boo Radley have the potential to sway Jem and Scout, the children boldly choose to look beyond the erratic rumors Miss Stephanie feeds them and instead believe in Atticus’ core philosophy of climbing in another person’s skin and walking around in it. Since doing so enables the children to better understand Boo’s situation and establish an unconventional friendship with him, this one simple decision ultimately results in Boo saving their lives, which most likely would not have happened if Jem and Scout had believed Miss Stephanie’s false gossip. The unknown nature of Arthur “Boo” Radley gives the children a blank canvas of his personality that is painted by the prejudiced views of Miss Stephanie to create a distorted image of him. The neighborhood relationship the children have with Miss Stephanie is based largely on the phony information she tells them. This is conveyed from the moment that the reader is first acquainted with Miss Stephanie. She is introduced as the neighborhood source of gossip on the Radley family. Interestingly, Jem and Scout turned to Miss Stephanie, of all people, in hopes of learning more about their mysterious neighbor. This shows that Miss Stephanie is infamous for sticking her nose into other people’s business, which is not something to be proud of. At the same time, her fabricated stories give the children a false image of Boo. Being young and gullible, Jem and Scout…

    Fitzhugh's Barbie Girls Versus Sea Monsters

    A spy she may be, and a clever one at that, she is still just a child. Harriet’s actions do not conform to the typical set of norms that are supposed to be followed by girls. In fact, her actions completely contrast expected norms as she lies, spy’s, and generally acts out, which can be behavior linked to the opposite gender. Fitzhugh does a tremendous job in depicting a story that reflects modern situations. Not everyone follows the standard set of norms, and as seen, Harriet was actually caught when her notebook was found, as well as punished by her friends. However, she fought through the adversity, and with the help of her parents and her nanny, she was ultimately forgiven. Although this is unconventional, as Harriett’s behavior did not follow her expected gender norms, it allows readers to sympathize and relate. Even adults can relate, as they are able to acknowledge it is not just their children who sometimes have urges to behave and act in ways that may not be regarded as acceptable by…

    Scopes Trial In American History

    The Scopes Trial is one of the most known trials in American history. It is one of the most known because it is the perfect example of the conflict between science and religion. In the summer of 1925, a high school biology teacher named John Scopes was on trial in Dayton, Tennessee for violating the law against the teaching of evolution. The prosecutor was a very famous attorney named William Jennings Bryan, who was a three-time Democratic presidential nominee. Clarence Darrow, who was agnostic, represented the defense. The American Civil Liberties Union had newspaper advertisements offering to defend anyone who violated the law. George Rappelyea, a Dayton booster, realized that the town would get an enormous amount of attention if a teacher…

    “Intelligence Is Never Too Dear” Discuss This Statement by Sir Francis Walsingham with Reference to His Espionage Activities

    On the dawn of the 16th century, England was confronted by a religious reformation. Many Catholics were dissatisfied with the sacrilegious practices developing in the Church, and eventually, a new sect of Christianity – who rejected Roman Catholic doctrines and refused to acknowledge papal authority –developed, known as Protestantism. By the end of Elizabeth’s reign, the Church of England had segregated from the Pope, and the Catholic Church. During the time of the Reformation though, a great hostility grew between Catholics and Protestants, and the battle for power even culminated into the monarchy.…
