The World is my library

The Sing Of The Beaver is one book considered by me because I read this in 5th grade. At first I remember I thought it would have been boring but as you get into the book it talks about a friendship between a boy Matt a pioneer and a Native American. I actually found this interesting was that 2 people from 2 very different worlds where able to connect and become friends.

My second book would be old yellor. This book I have read in 6th grade English honors. The book is about a family of a mom son and daughter. The father has left to go on the oregon trail and he leaves the family to come back when everything is ready for them to come. The son Travis finds a dog an old yellor which he becomes fund to.

My 3rd and final book would be Moby Dick the story of a captain who loses his leg to the great white yellow that is supposed to be bigger than an island. The captain ends up dying in his attempt to get even with the whale. I read this book in 7th grade for an English class book report. I found it interesting because the Captains hatred leads him to his own downfall.

American Literature

 I was taught American Literature back in elementary in my 5 grade Honors English Class. There my teacher Mrs.Toress said it had to do during the colonization of the US so it was mostly pioneers and what they lived through. We would read books that had to do with pioneers claiming land and maintaining it. I think we can all contribute to it because American Literature is American History so in 50 years from today another kid could be reading our own blogs and it could be considered American Literature.
