forms of psychosis or severe neurosis. ¨ This relates back to why we should keep fiction books in school because fiction books allow our imaginations to run wild and give examples of how people “should” interact because some people have social anxiety which could cause mental illness such as agoraphobia.

The present study’s literary investigation of Ngugi’s fiction draws heavily from Heidegger’s notions of time, temporality and historicity. According to Heidegger (1962), temporality is a unity against which past, present and future stand out as ecstasies while remaining essentially interlocked. Heidegger views ecstasies as horizons, in the sense of what limits, surrounds or encloses and in so doing discloses or makes available.

The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis The book I read for my book report was a fiction book called The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis.

It's about a boy that runs away from his life of slavery and his adventure to come. I found this book to be adventurous, exciting, and suspesful (to an extent). It shows
Foster's book, “How to Read Literature Like a Professor”, Foster explains in detail the numerous ingredients of a story. He discusses almost everything that can be found in any given piece of literature. The devices discussed in Foster's book can be found in most movies as well, including in Quentin Tarantino’s cult classic, “Pulp Fiction”.

Allowing Cloning In earlier times the subject of cloning human beings has been no more than just a fantastic idea to play around with in science-fiction books and movies. As time progresses though, more and more fantasies become realities. Such is the case with cloning.

With the ability to clone humans now possible the question of whether such an act should even be carried out

re-socialization process is necessary and does it serve a useful purpose. If it does, what is that purpose? To the best of my knowledge there has never been a sociological study of the effects of Marine recruit training, and only one or two non-fiction books have been written about the training of male Marine recruits, most by someone who never served in the Corps. This paper will make reference to those works, but for the most part will rely on the experiences of the author, a Marine for more than

piercing beam of light shines over the murky land, providing respite—albeit brief—from the harsh battering of the neighboring terrain. Trouble, by Gary D. Schmidt, wraps this picture eloquently in the form of a compelling and captivating contemporary fiction book. Trouble primarily centers around a boy named Henry Smith, who never really understood the formidable potential of the omnipotent entity Trouble in his safe and idyllic life. Henry had always fallen into the dark shadow of his brother, Franklin
two. I think revenge shows up so much in life because it’s a part of human nature. I think it shows up in literature because fiction and non-fiction books imitate life. Our literature is a reflection of what is going on in a society. If you want to know what was happening or what the social norms were for a certain time period all you have to do is read the popular fiction of the time.
Reading is timeless. A thoughtful and enticing book can inspire endless imagination and thoughts. Reading is limitless. Books can be about anything and the words give the reader infinite emotions. No two books are quite the same, and no two books make the reader feel the same way. Books provide a pathway to escape the real world to enter the imaginative world. Time becomes obsolete while reading. The story is out there, ready to be read, it is only a question of when the reader finishes. The act
During the past twenty years there has been much debate over topics regarding literacy and literature in America. In June 2004, based on their comparison of literary reading surveys from 1982, 1992, and 2002, the National Endowment for the Arts released the following statement.

The trends among younger adults warrant special concern, suggesting that – unless some
Banned Books are books that have been taken off of library shelves because they have been found to have inappropriate content. Books are often challenged by parents who do not want their kids to read them and be exposed to this material.

Have you ever thought for a while,” What is my favorite book that my class has read this year?” Well if you have ever read the book Wonder you would know what I mean when I say, I think Wonder is the best book we have read this whole year.

a very young age, I barely had any book time. I would occasionally ask for mama to read to me but she always looked down, frowned and said “not tonight.” All the other kids got their parents to read to them. It was no fair. I didn’t like reading, the sound of one of parent’s tired voice after dealing with their crap talking boss made me feel so comforted. My father, with his smooth baritone, reading Love You Forever as I slowly drifted into sleep, until the book inevitably ended and jolted me back
back on my year of book love, I think I have started to grow myself as a reader. I have always had a love for literature, reading but writing so much more. So with all the collective pieces I have been exposed too, I have gotten to see a variety of different writing styles and literary devices that have helped blossom my passion for writing even further. For me, reading and writing go hand in hand. Therefore it was been a great opportunity to expose myself and indulge in books. Book that, if I was still
Books vary in different subjects and genres, but no matter how much different they are they all teach beneficial information in many ways.

They put everything in a story for a reason to somewhat give you an idea what the lesson it be learned from. Books can also influence the decisions we make as humans. Without books we
and father read to me nightly. My family has a deep background in books, my father being a collector, and my mother working at a library. My father loves books, in every way I can think of. He loves to read them, as do the rest of my family, but he has a collector's interest in books that we lack. He once wondered to a local library to check if they had a book sale. They did indeed have a book sale, and he bought quite a many books from their shelves. Soon he became a volunteer, and then the organizer
Should To Kill a Mockingbird be banned from the high school curriculum? Should the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction award winning book be banned? There has been a lot of controversy about whether To Kill a Mockingbird should be banned in the High School curriculum, and this is absurd.
