I have chosen Kate DiCamillo- author of children’s book and two (2004 and 2014) times winner of the Newbery Medal. Kate DiCamillo have written picture books, early chapter books, and novels. Kate DiCamillo has a series of 6 books that starts with a pig named Mercy Watson, who is the daughter of Mr. Watson and Mrs. Watson. The books have great illustrations and mostly talk about safety based on the troubles that Mercy Watson get herself in.

    Tjatjakaymatchan Summary

    The book I chose this week is called "Tjatjakaymatchan (Coyote) A legend from Carmel Valley" by Alex O. Ramirez and is a Native American tale about why the coyote calls into the night. I would categorize this book as fiction because of the talking coyote and fox. I decided to read this book because of my Choctaw heritage and it reminded me that many first people languages and stories are vanishing into the time because they not written down most of the time. The most interesting piece of information that I found was about why this book was published and it was because the writer's friends encouraged him to write down his memories of his Elders so that they would not fade into time. I also thought his illustrations were interesting because unlike…

    Shiloh By Phyllis Reynolds Naylor Sparknotes

    The book that I would like to do for this book report is called Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. In this book it talks about a good story about a boy willing to do anything for a dog that he loves. While with the author some things that I found interesting is that she is best known for her children and young adult stories that are in fiction. Also before she even started writing she worked as a teacher and an editor before writing full time om 1960. This is very interesting because it shows that even though she didn’t start off as a writer she still had big success onto what she wrote and so on.…

    Susie Salmon's The Lovely Bones

    I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973," Susie Salmon tells us in the second sentence of The Lovely Bones. She shows us who did it—a neighbor everyone thinks is weird—and describes the horrible scene, a brutal assault and dismemberment in an underground hideout in a bleak winter cornfield. Sebold's triumph is in making Susie's voice so immediately compelling that we don't want to let her go, even after she's dead. We want to know what happens next. So does Susie.…

    Flannery o conners writings

    give the reader emotional devistation because if all the gothic elements such as the violence and the messed up religious elements. The short stories that she creates give off an uncongenial feeling and possesses the readers feelings towards the stories. Many of these stories have both violence and religious aspects to them. Fate plays a big role in the stories climaxes. Either the main character or the antagonists encounter what seems to be fate and start off violent but end up as if they saw the errors of their ways or felt as of a higher power has accepted them. In the end of AGMIHTF the characters encounter the anyogonist right after they crash. They meet him by fate. Fate is not always a good thing.

    Witch Of Blackbird Pond Essay

    I enjoyed the book of Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare because it was a story that. It never left me bored. It was intriguing. Another reason I liked it is it taught me about puritan life and what it truly was. There were many main characters in Witch of Blackbird Pond like Judith, Mercy, Kit, William Ashby, John Holbrook, Nat, Hannah Tupper, Matthew Wood, and Mrs.Wood. My favorite Character would be Mercy because she is so sweet and talented. She is so kind to everyone. Another reason I find Mercy enjoyable is even though she is disabled she still works as much as anyone else. I think the most surprising part of the book was when all the peaceful colonist burned down Hannah Tupper's house. I would recommend this book to…
