Recommended: Memories during childhood

Sticky photos of me with blonde bangs and over-worn princess dresses are the only way I know for sure I had a childhood. Attempting to actually recount the occurrences behind these still-frames is the real challenge. It’s like glimpses of memories that you’re pretty sure are memories, but could also be dreams that you had in a sugar-induced coma. Of the moments I do remember, here are some highlights: the time I tried to eat an entire corn dog without chewing (which ended about how you’d expect), when I caught my father red-handed in a tooth-for-money exchange underneath my pillow, but most distinctly, I remember the sound of my mom’s voice as she read my favorite books. I probably heard Goodnight Moon and The Giving Tree so often I could have recited them alongside her. When I look back at what began my love of the written word, there’s a direct correlation to the feel of the pages of an Eric Carle or Shel Silverstein book. The stories I grew up with will probably always kick around upstairs while “essential” math equations just tend to slip away. It’s strange to think back at all the books that I can recall, but not what exactly happened during my recorder concerts at Ellis Elementary. It’s probably for the best. From then on, my literary career was off to the races as I was usually pretty ahead of my classes when it came to …show more content…

Jane Eyre, obviously, is still on that list. Emma by Jane Austen is as well- even though the first couple of chapters were like pulling teeth- because I owe it to my two favorite web series of all time (YouTube web series based on modern interpretations of Jane Austen’s Emma and Pride and Prejudice may sound nerdy to marathon over and over again, and that's because it for sure is). I also really want to finish 1984 this year because I picked it up during my reading drought a few months ago and never

The Film, “One night the moon” by Rachel Perkins and the documentary, “Barbekueria” by Don Featherstone are very similar in the way they portray racism during the early developments of Australia. Through different Camera techniques and imagery both Featherstone and Perkins are able to project the ideals of the White Australian Policy onto a Film/Documentary. The uses of different Camera angles (by both producers) are seen in the film to represent the insignificance of one race compared to the other. “One night the moon” uses different colour patterns and camera techniques to represent innocence and superiority among the

I can relate to this as when I was 4 I busted my head open on an exercise machine while I was playing with my cousin. I remember the events that happened after the event but I remember almost none of the emotions or thoughts I had at that point. This too illustrates that childhood memories are

We learn how to read and write from books, we practice skills and teach ourselves from books. Not a year in my education has gone by without a book or several being part of the curriculum. In ninth grade I read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The novel changed my view of the importance and need for books, because it showed the horror and devastation of a world without them.

How to Read Literature like a Professor Analysis This was a very informative book that pointed out a lot of aspects of literature I had never really paid attention to. It really showed me how important it is to find similarities between works of literature. It especially made me realize how while all three of my summer readings were drastically different, they shared common themes, plots and even sometimes character developments.

I remember my dad setting up the hog trap with the leftover food we had after dinner. That trap is now nothing but pile of rust that lies just behind a dirt road. I remember running my fingers down the old chain link fence behind the house which was removed to expand the house. I remember waking up in the morning with the smell of bacon and staring at the particle board ceiling, making pictures out of all the random shapes. Now that board has been replaced with a nice painted boring wall.
