My life would not be completed
without the bible. I believe it has the
answer to everything. I love the many
stories (parables) and Songs of
Solomon, which is like a love poem.
Reading the bible gave me instructions
on how to live my life and I try to
abide by the 10 commandments.
However, we all fall short sometimes.
I learned a lot from reading the Bible
and the process still continues. I need
a dictionary every time I read the
bible because the words are like-- not
in my vocabulary range. Tehee. This is
the only book I do not mind reading
over and over again. I am who I
became because of God and his
written message.
This text is about a caterpillar's/
butterfly life cycle. Before his
transformation he eats everything
in sight. I was first introduced to
Eric Carle in one of my college
courses where I had to create an
author study project. I was later
given this book as a gift to my son,
which I read to him almost
everyday. I read it so frequently I
know word for word without looking
in the book. I associate my son
with the book, therefor I am very
attach to both my son and the
book. It was the very first piece of
text I ever read aloud to my little
one. I also love Eric Carle’s
illustration style with his variation
in water colors.
I am a sucker for “love”!! I did not
like this book the first couple
times I read it to my son, but
then I began to give the words
meaning. Now it is one of my
favorite books. I love the last
page! Many children stories are
about the child and a mother, but
this book is about a father Hare
and his son. I rarely encounter
books like these because fathers
play a role in a child’s life also and
should be given some type of
credit.
Fact About Tanneese: I love children
literature! They still teach me things I
was unaware of. I want my son to grow
up and love reading. I wish I was
introduced to books at an early age.
This was one of the required reading
material for my high school. A great
choice by the way! I never knew what a
“vegetable” was until reading the
material. It only took one person
,McMurphy, to change the setting of a
mental ward. There were a lot of biblical
imagery in this novel that I was able to
locate, such as “the last supper”. This
book was like an undercover inspirational
book because McMurphy wanted to help
Chief escape. When McMurphy became a
vegetable for his disruptive behavior,
Chief suffocated him with a pillow to
free him from his misery. Even though it
was sad, I loved it because it showed
how one person was condemned for
wanting to be different, such as Jesus
dying to free us from our sins. I really
enjoyed this piece.
Lets not judge!! I was in love with
Zane novels. Despite the facts
that her books circulated around
sexual behaviors, her style of
writing is so descriptive and
detailed that you feel like your
standing right there in the mist of
it all. I walked everywhere with
Zane, it’s kind of funny because
her novels were banned in my high
school. Some of the word choices
were to advanced for me so I
would write down and define the
words later, most of them related
to sexual contents….of course. I
loved the imagery in this novel but
I never tried to be what I read
because the behavior was not
appropriate!
This was very interesting, I thought I
was a visual learner, at the most!
However, I can relate to my results. I
rather work alone than in groups
because I feel like I get more done.
Rather than focusing on one area, I get
to go through all that is required. I love
being alone because people irritate me,
especially when I am not in the mood. I
love company sometimes though. I feel
like I understand something when I am
able to do a hands on activity relating to
the subject or be provided with a visual
aid. My learning style is not naturalistic
because I do not like involving myself in
plant life and animals. I do respect the
environment though.
