The beginning of “The Hound of Heaven” represents Dorothy Day’s childhood. The poem begins with, “I fled Him, down the nights and down the days/ I fled Him, down the arches of the years/ I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways / Of my own mind, and in the mist of tears/ I hid from him…” (Thompson 1-4). These lines symbolizes the escape that the author was making away from God. Thompson was running away from God and his responsibilities. While reading this poem, Dorothy Day immediately drew a connection. Growing up in a Christian family who rarely attended church sessions, Day did not know what she believed in. When she was young, she asked her mother why didn’t the family sing hymns and pray. She never got a satisfying answer from her mother.

Relationships often have a huge influence on our lives. Whether it’s family or close friends. Relationships can shape the way we walk through life and how we see or view the people around us. Especially if we share the same experiences. Experiences can either strengthen or dismantle even the closest of friends. Relationships with stories can also be just as important. As they can show us that, although each person has a different story to tell, we all live in the same society. In Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif” and George Saunder’s “Puppy”, the reader is given a glimpse into the lives of two people. Marie and Callie in “Puppy” and Twyla and Roberta in “Recitatif”. Both stories show similarities and differences between the two sets of characters in each story.

Characters are a vital element of fiction; without them, a story falls apart because the readers are forced to only focus on its plot, setting, or other aspects of fiction. Characterization is the process in which the author describes the distinctive nature or features of a particular character. A character is often characterized by their own dialogue, actions, thoughts, appearance, and interpretation by the author or by other characters in the story. Through these methods, an author can really bring their characters to life for the reader. In “My Kid’s Dog,” Ron Hansen uses these methods to bring all his characters to life. He portrays the strained relationship an owner has with his ‘daughter’s’ pet dog, and the difficulties overcoming his hardships. Through methods of characterization, Hansen unveils the friction between the dad and the dog and allows the reader to empathize with them, incorporating humor throughout the story, as well.

In the story “The Last Dog” by Katherine Patterson, a boy, living in a futuristic society where the atmosphere is “poisoned” has to sacrifice his usual life to find out about the world and save what might be the last dog ever. I learned, from this story that what is popular might not be true. I liked reading this story because it seems futuristic and cool. As I read it felt like Brock was finding out that people are wrong about what happened to the world or they just lied. It really is an interesting story.

She added a new group to the book club. This group was just reading science passages before because Ms. J needed to find an interesting book on level for this group. The students made a paper booklet for their books and wrote the questions that were posted on the board and their answers for that book on a different page. So the first real page in the book would be the questions for chapter one the next page would be where the students recorded the questions and answers for chapter two, and so on. The new book added was named Summer of Riley. This novel follows the story of an eleven year old who has a dog named Riley that they are trying to save from being put to sleep by the law enforcement for chasing livestock. This raises a lot of interesting questions for the students including how to lawfully go about protesting a law, which is quite interesting to hear their conversations about it because they would never be in the position of William but they apply the story to their lives, which was fascinating. Ms. J really fosters the love of reading in her class, which I have really loved to

“A Dog’s Life” The autobiography of a stray by: Ann M. Martin, a book i’ve had since the 4th grade, I can never stop coming back to it at least once every year though. A dog named Squirrel goes through many changes in her life with losing her mother, then her brother, being abused, surviving on her own, making new friends losing those friends and finding a good home for good where she can live her elder years. To me the book basically covers the life of a human, as I got older and repeatedly read the book I realized that it has substantial similarities with the way humans generally go through life. People lose their family, get in abusive relationships, have to go to college and survive on their own, we make friends, lose friends and hopefully

Throughout the short story of “Lady with a Dog” many characters drastically change. Personally, I believe that the person that shows the heavier amount of change is Gurov. Of course, both Gurov and Anna change, but Gurov takes things to a different level considering his past.

The German Shepherd is not only one of the world's most popular companion dogs, but also probably the most widely used breed for service work. The development of the German Shepherd Dog, along with a number of existing breeds, helped pioneer the modern use of dogs for service and community work that we can see today. For a breed of dog that has only been officially recognised for just over 100 years, it has made an outstanding contribution to mankind worldwide.

The curriculum for reading with a group of second grade students is, teaching the students how to interact with the text by asking questions and answering those questions. Having the students learn how to ask “who, what, when, where, why, and how” is the first step for new readers to understand what they are reading. The students are learning how to pick out the key ideas and details within the story to help fully understand the concept and meaning behind the writers words. Students need to be able to describe what they are reading and pay attention to the story’s plot. Second grade students now have the ability to understand the reason behind the characters actions within the stories that they read. This short story in particular serves the purpose of learning how to pick out the key ideas and details for new readers.

I would like to discuss a few things about this book, primarily the main character, Collie. From an outsider's perspective Collie’s life could seem pretty perfect, very wealthy family, living on the vineyard on the beach and 2 healthy parents. Sounds boring, right? Well not when Collies mother thinks her father is a murderer and has spent her whole life investigating him. Oh and when collies mom hates Collie for being a normal child who just really wants to have a normal family. Collies younger brother bingo is his mother's favorite child, and when he dies his mother slaps collie breaks his jaw and says why couldn't it be you, and then she dies. Through all these traumatic events Collie is barely affected, he breathes in and out and moves on. I do not understand how he is so okay with what is going on. It amazes and scares me, makes me wonder if there is something mentally wrong with hi,I also found it interesting how the words “ apologize apologize” do not mean anything until the end of the book when Collie is in ireland, but even there the meaning is not clear
