While I got stuck on homophones, this story had no qualms with its poetic writing and vivid descriptions of two different people, the narrator and his brother, Sonny, who have grown up completely different even though they are brothers, but despite this, show that different people can have surprisingly similar feelings and goals. The way the author describes the narrator’s feelings in the story is very intense and poetic, but the fact that he begins the story like this caused me to make a few unconfirmed

Although Goodnight Moon has only 130 words, it taught me life lessons that I, otherwise, may not have ever learned. Gratitude and “goodnights” became very important to me that night. The bunny in the story said goodnight to all of the immense and

Storytelling animal written by Jonathan Gottschall, basically conveys the idea that stories help humans live their lives. The more we dwell on a story, the more we change and are affected by it. During my time exploring different story, I have not been able to dwell on such a story partially because I do not believe I am at that time in my life where I can understand and appreciate a story and allow it to change my life. Diving into the gist of the book, Gottschall points out that people read less
