I can’t begin to explain how reading has enriched my life. I live in a small fishing village called Lancaster‚ 200 miles northeast of Anchorage‚ Alaska. It’s strictly a fishing and mining town with a year-long population of 424. We’re a loyal‚ self-sufficent group‚ and count among our ranks five teachers‚ an architecht‚ two medical doctors and a dentist. Unfortunately‚ we are over three hours from the nearest city‚ limiting our access to most cultural events‚ athletics and other typical extracuricular

book that changed my life and opened my heart to a world of literacy. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (Rowling‚ 1997) not only intensified my already keen imagination‚ but filled me with a hunger for knowledge.

To this day‚ the series carries an impact in both my personal life as well as fueling my own desire to write

I was packing to move into my closet-size new bedroom on the other side of the house. My grandparents would be partying in my actual room for months. I had pictured my fantasy bedroom a million times before… A large bay window peeked into the fresh lawn outside and right in the middle of it sat an

Most of the times‚ the room is dark. There are days when it is bright and I can see almost everything clearly. The sunshine is reflecting through the cracks in the door‚ spreading across the room. My face breaks into a smile‚ my eyes shine and happiness fills my heart as I think I can leave the darkness. I can leave and be happy‚ be myself and no one will care. I open the door‚ just a little‚ and take a small peek. When I see the happiness shine‚ I expect to see smiling faces‚ people saying they’ll

My Love for Reading and Writing Background: My name is Qianqian Wang‚ an international student from China‚ having been in U.S.A for studying since June. After three-month practice‚ I began to write my first essay‚ recording how I learn to read and write and my love for them.

My Interpretation and Thoughts on A Room Of One’s Own A Room of One’s Own seems to be pretty self-explanatory at first given that’s the title. After reading more than just the title‚ though‚ and really getting into the book‚ I realized it wasn’t so self-explanatory as I had thought it to be.

The next thing I saw was the ambulance door close at my feet. Two nurses sat at my side‚ asking me important questions. “Vivette” “20” I muttered. At first it was understandable to want to know who I was‚ how old I was and so on. But‚ it was ridiculous when the same person (that’s right-1 person!) kept asking the same questions over and over.
