My book report is on Doctor Dolittle. The author of this book is Hugh Lofting. Doctor Dolittle talks to the animals and is also kind of like a veterinarian. He knows most of the animal languages. He really calls himself a naturalist which studies plants and animals. He lives in Puddleby, England.
He has an assistant named Stubbins. Doctor Dolittle wants to learn the language of the shellfish because they are one of the oldest animals on earth. He thinks that they can tell him secrets of the past. Doctor Dolittle decided to give up on the shellfish language for a while. Stubbins and the Doctor play a game that you close your eyes and flip the pages of an atlas and put a pencil down on the page. The place that he picked was Spidermonkey Island. The purple bird of paradise tells him that the greatest naturalist is Long Arrow and that he lives at Spidermonkey Island. Doctor Dolittle goes on a voyage to Spidermonkey Island. The Doctor goes and he saves Long Arrow and 9 other Indians from a cave that a rock had covered the entrance. Doctor Dolittle found a way to dig under the rock and make it fall. Another tribe on the other side of the island wanted to go to war with the peaceful indians. They were going to fight because they were to lazy to do work because the island was floating South and getting cold. The Doctor, Long Arrow, and another man basically won the war for the tribe. They swung clubs and knocked everyone out of the way. Then Polynesia(a talking parrot) brought millions of black parrots from South
America. Most of the other tribe got their ears bit off.
Doctor Dolittle was made king of the tribe. They changed his name to Jong Thinkalot because they didn’t think Dolittle fit him. Doctor wanted to go but he had to stay and teach the tribe to do things more modern.
...ocked into silence, staring at [Little Hawk]’s shattered chest and the bright blood, and at [his] face with the wide open eyes that could no longer see.” I can’t relate with Little Hawk either, because he had to survive three months in the woods. I don’t even know how to make a fire, yet survive every cold night for three months. But I can relate to John when he believed something but other people believed something else. This book affected me because it changed my view of the first settlers of America. At first, I thought they were awesome and that the Indians were terrifying. After this book, I have a negative view towards the English. I would recommend this book to mainly teenagers and up because I don’t seem to relate much to the characters. Overall, this is a pretty good book and I would read more of the history of the Indians and the first settlers of America.

Copious amount of people knows about the powerful inspiring film Finding dory. In actuality, Finding dory is the by-product of the movie Finding Nemo; which was initially in theaters thirteen years beforehand. Finding dory is what Kim Edwards expresses in her article. “far more than a subpar cash-grabbing sequel to a beloved family classic, the latest from Pixar provides myriad opportunities to help young viewers reflect on such important issues as disability, difference, family and belonging.” Finding dory is the definition of different. The animation sets forth an adventure worth a lifetime. In Seger’s essay, she states “a hero begins as nonhero; innocent, young, simple, or humble” (336). This movie depicts a different

Part 1: Captain James Cook, commonly abbreviated as Captain Cook, was a navigator, explorer, cartographer and captain for the Royal Navy from approximately 1747 to 1779, when he was stabbed to death by villagers in Hawaii while trying to take hostage the king (Collingridge, 2002). Born in 1728 (Myplace.edu.au, 2014), James was one of James Cook and his mother, Grace Pace's eight children (Rigby and Merwe, 2002). When he was around 17 years old, he moved to Witby where he was taken in as a merchant navy apprenticeship (Horwitz, 2003). He then worked his way up the Navy, until he earned the name of Captain James Cook. Part 2: Cook’s first voyage had two objectives. What objectives and were they fulfilled? The first of the two objectives was to observe the transit of Venus, and the second was to find evidence of the existence of Terra Australis Incognita, the name given to the land on which Australia occupies nowadays, before it was colonised. The viewing of the transit of Venus was to be recorded in four stages. The first of which was when Venus' figure made contact with the figure of the sun. The second was when Venus' figure was completely inside the suns figure, but still touching the edge. The third was when Venus' figure was still inside the suns figure, but touching the other side. Finally the last stage was when Venus' figure was completely outside the suns figure, but still touching the rim. The observation of the transit of Venus was successfully completed, with a clear sky and observations being recorded by 3 different observers (James Cook, Charles Green and Daniel Solander). The event was viewed by the explorers on the island of Tahiti (Rienits and Rienits, 1976). The second objective as stated was to find evidence of ...

I remember vividly, scrolling through the isles and shelves of books looking for my next adventure. I had already read Swiss Family Robinson, and Robinson Crusoe, so I regarded myself as an accelerated reader compared to my classmates, but the task I was about to undertake would prove far more daunting than anything I had attempted thus far. As I walk throughout the isles I see the books getting thicker and thicker. I thought to myself that maybe
After reading chapter 16 of To Kill a Mockingbird, the reader is introduced to two new characters. First, we are introduced to a character named Dolphus Raymond. Dolphus is a wealthy white male after the death of his wife he tricked the Maycomb townspeople into believing he is an alcoholic and is now living at the other side of maycomb with his colored wife and mixed children. I think Lee purpose of putting Raymond in the story is to show readers that not all white people hated black people. Raymond is one of the few people who enjoins black people company. He moved to the other side of maycomb to live with them because “ he likes ‘em better’n he likes us.” he also has some mixed children of his own. According to Jem most people do most want
