    I didn’t personally like the book I thought it wasn’t very exciting. Maybe if the book was more exciting or had more twist or turns it would be more enjoyable. It did change my attitude about boys being smarter than girls but even when Calpurnia was talk all science to her brother he had no idea what she was talking about. I probably would not recommend this book unless you're more into having the same idea throughout the whole…

    Although at times it was hard to follow what was exactly happening in the book. I felt like the book jumped around a lot because each chapter was a different event that happened throughout the year. I didn’t know when the events occurred so at times it was confusing. In addition, the book was older so it was hard to make connections with the book and my everyday life.…

    "It's a lovely story full of love and fun and adventure. I love this classy edition with illustrations that deliberately avoid linkage to the film. There is much more humor in the book than they could get into the film. The humor works very well and the characters are entrañables.Me likes adventures and actions in this book and especially how the book related to the cycle of hero…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting. I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…

    Quickly plucking The Cave of Time from the library and opening it, I became enthralled with the book and would quickly flip back and forth between pages, curious to find all the different endings. This book was different, it was interactive and it was the bright light that illuminated my love of reading. By putting me directly into the story and essentially making me the main character, it felt like there was stakes to the choices I made and made the book harder to drop. To me, this book was a stepping stone to reading for fun, and revealed the beauty of the story that books hold for me. Not only that, but it allowed me to hone my English skills, as I had only been accustomed to reading small sentences from magazines or bulletins in my daily life. The Cave of Time, a book that impacted me so much, emerged all thanks to a simple idea that was originally not…

It was published in 1894 and shows self-assertion when the protagonist, Louise Mallard, rejoices after hearing of her husband 's death. Kate Chopin, the author of “The Story of an Hour” uses symbols to expose her point about the control of women in a male-dominated society.…
