Personal Narrative: The Giving Tree
As a young boy, I remembered myself reading the book, The Giving Tree. Though I didn’t understand much, I knew that reading for me seemed delightful. At first, interpreting the book wasn’t difficult, but reading it was the utmost problem for me. I couldn’t for the thought of me get some of the pronunciation of some words. Maybe the cause of this problem was my age. But that day I knew that reading wasn’t going to be as difficult along as I learn the pronouncing of many new words.

By the time I was in the 5th grade I had already been reading a lot of books. Many of the books were interesting, some not so much. Some were also simple, but most were difficult. I had this one book I always favourited called, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It was my childhood

    I would be assigned books that would put me to sleep like Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry because it would have no action that I enjoyed. That’s when eighth grade happened. I saw this smart kid reading a book with a bland red cover with the title I am Number Four. At first I thought it was too advanced and boring so I didn’t bother reading it. Until that summer I went to the library and saw the book under the “Most Read” section and I gave it a shot. I could see why that kid wouldn’t put that book down during class. It made me feel so many emotions I’ve never felt before over a book and I couldn’t stop reading the series, again I wouldn’t do my homework and my parents would get mad because I would read too much for once! I have recently just finished all the books in the series up to this point and I’m waiting to get my hands on the one that just recently came out. I have read this series several times because I just thought it was so…

    A lot of books I can remember reading made my childhood so great. Growing up as a child, going to the library was one of my most favorite hobbies to do. My mother would always take me there and she would read to me anything from Junie B. Jones to Arthur books, Dr. Seuss, Charlottes’ Web. Dr. Seuss was one of my most favorites. Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham will always be a childhood favorite. At the library, my mother would read word by word very slowly to make sure I’d understand what she was reading. Age 3-5, I would take part in a summer program at the library that involves reading. The volunteers who were…

    Shel Silverstein, an extremely gifted and versatile author, wrote and illustrated "The Giving Tree". Readers of all ages have enjoyed this story since its publication in 1964. It portrays the gift of giving and to love and be loved in return. While "The Giving Tree" generated a lot of controversy upon its publication, having been a child and now being a mother, I see the tree representing a mother 's unconditional and self sacrificing love for her children.…

    I never thought how interesting it would be to visit a different place of worship besides Christianity. Since the day I was born I’ve been a Christian and whatever anyone else believes in is wrong and that they are going to hell if they don’t believe in Christianity. About 3 years ago I visited the International Buddhist Progress Society a Buddhist temple in Naperville. Buddhism from what I learned looks more like a way of life or guidelines to it rather than a religion. Buddhism tells you how you could live life better but doesn’t scare you with the prospect of hell instead you live with ignorance. My own history with Christianity still made me doubt or fear the conquences of going to this temple. Part of me believed that I be punished by…

    *It wasn’t until fourth grade I was introduced to mystery books. There was a bookstore at my school and one of my friends convinced me to get a book I thought was really weird, but then I read it and it ended up being one of my favorite books.

    Reading was fun when it was newly acquired skill. I was excited to read to my parents when they returned home from work. I remember reading my favorite book series by R.L. Stein (Goosebumps) while in the second and third grades. The series was about hauntings that affected teenagers. I remember my favorite book in the series was Piano Lessons Can Be Murder. I could relate to that because at the time, I was taking piano lessons.…
