Literacy Book - Week 5

Part One

Kibuishi, K. (2008). Amulet(#1) The Stonekeeper. Graphix.

Part Two

The first book of the Amulet series is a great graphic novel that has art and an adventurous story that goes with it. The author did an amazing job at utilizing what they are able to do best in a graphic novel and making it a story that is intense, yet easy to follow along with. Kibuishi makes the story easy for readers to follow along with by using the shape of the boxes of each page to make it easy for the readers to sense where to read next. One particular thought I had when reading this graphic novel was how important the color was utilized in telling the story as well as the text style. With a graphic novel it showed that every little detail is important when telling a story because a graphic novel utilizes littler words and more animations to tell the story.

Part Three

This book in particular would be considered a quality book. It has a lot of structure in terms of plot, setting, theme, and style. There is a lot of structure and theme that flows throughout the book in order for it to be read easily with all of the different dialogues being displayed on the pages at once. It is supposed to be an intense story for these children, and readers are supposed to be intrigued to continue reading. Even more so the book grabs the attention of a reader by the plot, and the artwork work. While reading it is hard not to want to continue because the book wraps you in with color schemes, art, and emotion. It is a book that is meant for the classroom and could possibly spark someone who does not like reading to gain interest in books especially because of all the pictures it provides.

Part One Park, L. S. (2002). When My Name Was Keoko . Clarion Books. Part Two When My Name Was Keoko is a very intense book in terms of the emotional story that is provided. During the reading I considered why historically I have never been taught, and why we do not teach more of this topic in history class. It is so important for students to understand all sides of history without undermining and feeling a certain race is not important, especially in a World War. It was hard to imagine not being able to speak your own language, and being unable to showcase or be proud of a heritage that is a part of your family. Part Three This book in particular would be considered a quality book. It has a lot of structure in terms of plot, setting, theme, style, and point of view. There is also a feeling of reflection when reading the story where readers can question why this has happened to this specific group, and how we as readers would feel if it happened to us. The book's purpose is to enga...

  Part One Chbosky, S. (1999). The Perks of Being a Wallflower . Pocket Books. Part Two The book The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a young adult literature book that takes us readers on a personal adventure through Charlies eyes. The author did an amazing job at helping the readers gravitate towards Charlie and specifically how he overcomes his traumatic experiences and finds peace. One particular thought I had when reading this book was the geniuses the author has of including the letters he writes, but seemingly that the friend never responds back, so we are left to fend for ourselves the possibilities of who he is writing to. Part Three This book in particular would be considered a quality book. It has a lot of structure in terms of plot, setting, theme, and style. There is a lot of structure and the theme that is repetitive throughout the novel is the diaries that he is writing that guide us throughout the story and transformation the character undergoes. It is supposed to be ...
