Agenda building is the process of people choosing when an issue is found to be of significant relevance to them, and thus in turn impacting public policy implementations. So if the media shows something to the general public that they view as significant or want the public to deem significant, this would start the “climate

A book that I really enjoyed this year was “Lockdown” by Alexander Gordon Smith. It is about a boy who breaks into houses and steals, but one night he gets caught and his world is changed forever. The reason you should read this is because it teaches you a lesson, it will scare you, and it will suck you in wanted to know more. The first reason you should read this is because it teaches you a lesson about stealing. The boy goes out at night and starts to rob a house when all the sudden two huge men

In the 10th grade, my English teacher Mrs. Gordon began a new section, having us read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Before that, we studied classics like Antigone, The Catcher in the Rye, and Hamlet. The Hobbit was something different. We still studied symbolism and figurative language. We still had pop quizzes on comprehension and vocabulary. But this was the action-packed adventure that put sparkles in Mrs. Gordon's eyes. I already liked to read and write. But that day while observing my teacher

It is hard to remember books I read while growing up because I was a reluctant reader. I remember two books. Cherry Ames Senior Nurse because it was my first oral book report. The Mayor of Casterbridge because I skimmed the pages before class just so I could make a passing grade on the quiz. If you are a parent of a reluctant reader, don’t force them to read. Encourage them and provide quality books so when the urge or necessity to read happens, you are not scratching your head trying to decide

Zadie Smith builds a compelling argument as to why libraries should be preserved. Her use of pathos, logos, and counter arguments provides strong reasoning and persuasiveness in her piece. Smith begins by emphasizing the uniqueness of a library environment. She acts as if all libraries have their own personalities, such as “primarily for children or primarily for students.” The personification of these buildings makes the reader feel more attached to them, as if Smith were talking about pets

Learning how to read and write is a big milestone in a child's life. Being able to read and get involved in a book is the best feeling ever. Growing up, I could remember from a young age my mother reading all different types of Disney books to me. I loved the Disney books that had a princess in it because when I was younger, I thought I was going to become a princess when I grew up, of course, that didn’t happen. For most of my life, up to age seven, my mom or teachers read to me because I had a
