Comparing Dr. Suess Green Eggs And Ham To Homer's Odyssey
Any student can tell you that the further you get into high school the harder the reading is, there’s no denying it. Going from reading from Dr. Suess’s Green Eggs and Ham to analyzing Homer’s Odyssey can be stressful if you aren’t prepared for the harder vocabulary, complex wording, and deeply-and I mean deeply- hidden meanings.

    Comparing Homer's Odyssey And O Brother Where Art Thou?

    A substantial amount of movies are based off of books. Rarely, the movies prove themselves better than their book counterparts, and sometimes the movie falls short of the mark. O Brother Where Art Thou? is unusual because it tends to stay on track with the Odyssey. Due to the fact that O Brother Where Art Thou? takes place in 1930’s Mississippi, plot elements obviously do not correlate directly, but other than that elements tend to be similar. Overall, The Odyssey and O Brother Where Art Thou? share similar major characters (with a few differences), and even with the changed setting, the plot events are similar as well.…

    JNT2 Task 1 Needs Analysis

    Many students who struggle with reading ask why should we read, what is the point? The point is that being able to read opens you up a whole new world of knowledge and imagination. But to have that new world opened up you need to be able to comprehend what you are reading. The primary goal of reading is to determine the meaning of what the writer is communicating and make the most of that information. That’s why reading comprehension skills are so important. Without them the reader cannot gather any information and use it to efficiently function and enjoy the richness of life (Marshall).…

    Personal Narrative: My Early Days Of Reading

    Although there is much I can’t recall from my early days of reading, there are some momentous flashbacks. When I was beginning elementary school my parents were very eager to introduce me to doing a great deal of reading, they wanted me to enjoy reading for a while and they succeeded. We lived within walking distance of the public library which allowed us to frequently visit the library to read and check out books. I always remembered the vast shelves of books that seemed like they never had an end. In addition to reading at the library we checked books out to bring home to read, this allowed me to read as much as I wanted to. Correspondent to the amount of reading I did, the more I enjoyed it and improved at reading.…

In the article “Superman and me” by Sherman Alexie, he shares his story about how he became a great reader and writer. He shows how important is to be literate in today’s society.

    Abolition of Slavery

    Abolition of Slavery

    Slavery in the United States first started in 1619, when African slaves were transported to Jamestown, a settlement in the colony in Virginia. These slaves were brought to the United States primarily to help with the making of crops, especially tobacco. The practice of slavery remained present throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in other colonies of the United States, which helped build and strengthen the American economy as a whole. In 1793, the cotton gin was invented, which triggered the immense importance of the practice of slavery towards the success of the economy in the southern parts of the United States. On the other hand, the northern parts of the United States experienced a rapid growth and dispersal of abolitionist laws and activities, which displayed a great amount of hatred towards the practice of slavery in the United States. The United States Congress made African slave trade or international slave trade illegal in 1808, but it did not hold back the practice of domestic slavery that was becoming even larger in the United States. The act of trading between the colonies in the United States flourished, and by 1860, the amount of slaves in the United States unfortunately tripled, and reached to four million. The expansion of pro-slavery beliefs in the western parts of the United States in addition to the increase in abolitionists in the northern parts of the United States soon caused a tremendous debate over slavery, which practically tore the United States apart.…

    I hate when textbooks are challenging to get through. At times, required reading can feel like a chore and there's no fun in that. Unfortunately, I began to avoid reading textbooks altogether since most of the textbooks I've come across have been boring and difficult to understand. Since it's my last semester, I decided to give textbooks another chance and the reading process has been going smoothly.…

    Personal Essay: My History with English

    I learned to read and write at a young age. There are a lot of people in my family who are educators. My grandparents who both taught for the Beaumont school district would read with me and teach me to write whenever I would visit them, which was often. Throughout early elementary school I remember reading and writing coming relatively really easy to me due to my upbringing. I even read books outside of school that were not homework, and enjoyed them so much that I once got in trouble for reading in class while I was supposed to be doing a different assignment. One of the books that I read outside of school, and was interested in, was the harry potter series. Its story line and intense descriptions really fascinated me. I continued reading those through middle school, even when I was supposed to be reading a different book for an assignment in one of my English classes. But the books I was required to read in school didn’t interest me like that one did. I would tell myself I would start reading the other book as soon as I finished the next chapter, but that never happened due to me reading until I fell asleep. If I couldn’t pay attention to my assigned readings I would read the back of the book the day my assignment was due, and fake my way through the essay or test. Surprisingly that worked for me for a while until I reached junior high.…
