Questions for Discussion 1. I do not think this is generally the case for everyone, for many children are influenced by their parents since an early age—well before high school—to nurture a love for reading. 2. She means that the experiences of a teenager are very limited compared to the experiences offered by an ageless book, and I agree with her because by exploring the scope of those experiences—instead of the student’s—teachers could broaden their intellectual horizons more than they are now. 3.
As in several literary pieces, authors and writers have used foil in several different ways, which include adding depth to their novels, and also adding up to the plot development of the story. A foil is a minor character that has different characteristics from the major character which is portrayed in a novel to emphasize the main character’s characteristics. A novel which serves as a great example regarding the use of foil is “Great Expectations”, written by Charles Dickens, which portrays a contrast between the characters of Pip and Estella. The use of this foil not only shows the differences between both characters, but also reveals to the reader features about the relation between both characters which were never imagined throughout the reading of the novel. Pip, the main character of Great Expectations, is an orphan who was born into a poor family.
Critical Analysis: Ka-Ching by Margaret Atwood Author’s Voice The essay that I chose to analyze was the personal essay, Ka-Ching by Margaret Atwood. I feel that Atwood intended for mostly teenagers to read this essay, because most teenagers can relate to the feeling of being unsure and confused at a new job. Also, most teenagers are faced with the decision to go to university/college and further their education or to just start work straight from high school. This relates to the essay because it shows the difference between book smarts and street smarts and how they are completely different. I feel that this is also the thesis of the essay, however I do not have a direct quote for the thesis because it is an implicit thesis.
‘Why is Sixty Lights worthy of critical study and inclusion on the HSC Prescriptions List for module B- Critical Study of Text?’ The novel Sixty Lights has been included on the HSC Prescriptions List for Module B because it is worthy for critical study as it is a diverse piece of literature covering significant topics that have been ignored in the modern world. We enter the lyrical and image-laden world of Sixty Lights. It’s a tale, resplendent in colour and imagery, set across two worlds - the constrained and stilted world of Victorian England, and the chaotic danger and abandon of India. Gail Jones creates literature, like Shakespeare, but in this particular piece explores the significance behind photographs and what they represent.
I found the most in younger children’s picture books which are essential for shaping young minds. I learned a lot myself from these books. Books, like Sitti’s Secret contain a lot of cultural information that I did not know about prior to reading it. Becoming Naomi Leon also contained cultural aspects that I did not consider before reading. I found the least interest in the wordless books.

Literacy Narrative September 15, 2013 Many people have their own style of writing and reading. Many people also have their unique way that they have picked up that certain style of writing or reading. Throughout grade school that style for most hardly changed until they hit middle school.

Jeannie Neal-Ward Ms. Kearney Kok English 91 July 7, 2013 To be or not to be is the question Born February 13, 1977 and the oldest of 3; I have 2 younger brothers; I was able to experience some of the best ways of learning how to read and write while attending Arlington Elementary. I remember one teacher as she still stands out to me but I just can not recall her name. I was in the first grade and she would pull me out of class to show me how to read. It was 1st grade that I also learned how to begin writing. I remember reading books such as the Cat and the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham that were just a few that I remember learning how to read from.
Young adult literature mostly covers mature experiences. The author of the novels tries to create an authentic story of what teenagers face in everyday life and they try to create characters that the readers can relate to. Many authors like Marcus Zusak write stories based on their own experiences or on the experiences of others that they have witnessed. Many teenagers feel they can relate to the stories they read and can understand what the protagonists are dealing with. There is always a teenage protagonist or a couple teenage protagonists.
Capstone CheckPoint Angela White LIT 210 December 13, 2012 Penny Crittenden Capstone CheckPoint As a teenager I read many different genres of literature such as romance, sci-fi, fiction, and drama. As a young adult, I read much the same but also added mystery and horror. I cannot say that I have an all-time favorite story or author, it all depends on my state-of-mind at the time I read. I did not have much interest in poetry until I learned about it in this class. I have now added “Salvation” by Langston Hughes, “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson, “1 Corinthians 13” by Paul and “Little Bessie Would Assist Providence” by Mark Twain.
