Look Up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx1SSlDaN5Q Right now I am taking a class about adolescent literature and it has made me revisit many of the books that I once loved but have since forgotten. A book that I read at least five times is by Julie Andrews Edwards and is titled, The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles. I first became familiar with this book in fifth grade and I give this book credit for really getting me interested in reading. I plan to read it again over winter break when I am home and can dig it out of one of my many book cases. I love the message that this passage from the book gives. It is always important to look up, in every sense of the word.

I am also taking a adolescent literature class and I love being able to revisit some of my favorite books as well as reading new ones that I can love also! For me, the books that got me into reading were the Harry Potter books. I reread these every summer and can never get enough!
ReplyDeleteChild/Young Adult Lit is THE BEST lit! I just started reading World War Z because someone in my practicum class recommended it to me. We had a long talk about young adult lit and its place in the classroom. I think it should be taught in addition to the classics...what do you think?
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool message! It's so true that we're always looking at the ground. I love when he says "the whole world could pass them by and most people wouldn't notice." I would really like to read this book.
