Where The Red Corn Grows Book Analysis

A Difference Made Think of something you used to love until someone ruined it for you. Up until the ninth grade, I was rather passionate about reading. I still remember to this day how powerful I felt when I read my first book in the first grade. Reading was like going on a new adventure with every book I opened. Then came my eighth grade summer. My fellow classmates and I were told that we had a summer reading project. That didn't sound bad until we were forced to pick between two books. Not only did we have to read by force, but we also had to take notes on the entirety of the book, and neither of the book options interested me. Mr. Heim, my freshman english teacher, made it so I couldn't live within the pages of books, enjoy books, or

For me, books used to be the gateway to an adventure where you could experience new things in your mind, get to know the characters even if they were fiction, and just relax. Wilson Rawls is the author of my all time favorite book. Wilson Rawls took me on an amazing adventure in the Ozarks. Where The Red Fern Grows is an amazing book for all ages.

Lord Of The Flies took all my motivation to read, and shattered it into a million pieces. Since that book, I am yet to read another one for fun again. Now I know you must be thinking that the book could not have been that bad and maybe your right for some people, but for me, Lord Of The Flies is the worst book I have ever read. What made it so bad for me? Well, for one, the entire story line was so un logical. I mean seriously, the odds of a plane of boys who crashed on an island being able to survive and live in their own primal civilization is slim to none. On top of that, throughout the whole book, the point of view would randomly change from character to character which made it terribly hard to follow and understand. Don't get me wrong, the plot was suspenseful and the book was detailed rather well. I just thought the entire story idea was rather dumb and hard to
