“Lost Brother” This is probably my favorite poem in this packet‚ although reading this poem the first time left me kind of unsure of what to think. Was Moss talking simply about a tree that knew another tree that just died or was there a deeper meaning behind it? I suppose that if one were to apply human characteristics to a tree‚ one could find an answer to that. I thought of the tree in the poem as the younger brother to the tree that lived to be four thousand eight hundred and sixty-two years

Brother and Sister: Night and Day I always knew that people were different. Everyone is unique‚ and has a very different personality. When one thinks of family though‚ uniqueness is sometimes forgotten. I never realized how much this was true until I had my children.

Professor Schleicher Disney’s Cinderella vs The Brothers Grimm The story of Cinderella is a very well-known folk tale that dates back centuries. Today‚ most people know the tale from the popular Disney movie made in the early 1950’s.

Reading Journal 2 My Brother Sam Is Dead The ending was not at all what I had expected even though‚ looking back now‚ it was heavily hinted towards in chapter 13 where Sam continuously talks about the cow thieves and tells Tim to get rid of them before they are stolen. To be honest I didn’t really like the ending‚ it was not what I would have expected or thought would happen. My real problem with the ending is that the mother (Tim and Sam’s) gave up all hope‚ telling tim he might as well get
