Topic 2:prejudiced against certain groups of people

Topic 2
There is no way to end prejudice in our lifetime. People are thought from a early age what to be prejudice against and they have had a lifetime of thinking bad about a particular type of person. The only way for any prejudice to truely end is for us to teach our children that everyone is different and those differences are what make each person special.

Topic 1: V for Vendetta

I think the reason we persecute people is because we are scared of things that are different. We think that the influence of a different race or ethnicity will change our way of life. The fear is well founded, because when different groups of people come together their ways of life are forced to change. In my opinion this change is for the better, because the groups of people can learn things from each other and better each other’s lives.

Favorite Literary Character

Topic 2:
My favorite literary character of all times is Cinderella. Cinderella is my favorite because I was told that story all the time when I was little and never got tired of it, as a matter of fact it was the story I always wanted my mother to tell me. My favorite part about the Cinderella story is when she lost her slipper and the Prince had to find the perfect girl that this slipper would fit. Irony is definitely a literary element used in the Cinderella story.

Favorite Memory Related to Reading

Topic 1:
My favorite memory related to reading is very similar to Mrs. Whitaker's. When my cousin and I were younger we could stay at my grandmother's house during the summer. Every week we would make her drop us off at our county library while she would go to the grocery store or whatever she had to do that day. We would read as many books as we could while we waited on her to come back and pick us up then when she was there to get us we would check out enough books to last us until the next time we went back. My favorite books at the time, and the ones I always checked out were the Babysitter Club books.

Topic 2: Would you characterize TV shows and movies as literature?

I do not characterize TV shows and movies as literature. Literature is something that has to be read and pictured with your own mind, not shown to you through a movie or TV show.

Topic 1: Different Elements that work together to create a literary work.

I can honestly say that learning literary techniques has made me appreciate literature much more. I've never really enjoyed reading poetry, or for that matter I've never understood poetry that well until now. The way the book broke it down line by line helped me understand and appreciate poetry so much more.
