Analysis 2
The document provides information about two works of modern fantasy literature: Charlotte's Web by E.B. White and The Giver by Lois Lowry. It summarizes the plots of both stories, discusses how the authors create believable settings and characters to encourage suspension of disbelief, and analyzes how the themes would be meaningful for children. Evaluation criteria for the genre are also presented, focusing on consistency, characterization, setting details, worthwhile themes, and point of view. Suggested post-reading activities for students are described.
The Private Side of Public Figures
The document discusses several famous authors who worked in genres outside of what they were most known for, including writing children's books. It provides examples such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, the Brontë sisters, Lewis Carroll, Robert Frost, William Faulkner, E.B. White, Sylvia Plath, E.E. Cummings, and Carl Sandburg. These authors demonstrated their diverse talents by publishing poetry, children's fiction, biographies, plays, and more. Exploring authors' lesser known works provides fascinating insights into their full talents and creativity.
Banned Books Project
Katherine Patterson was born in China in 1932 and immigrated to the US as a child. She went on to graduate from King College with an English degree and wrote several novels, including Bridge to Terabithia in 1977. The book tells the story of two children, Jess and Leslie, who use their imagination to create a magical kingdom called Terabithia to escape their daily lives. Several school districts challenged the book for inclusion in curriculums, citing profanity and references to witchcraft, though a school board voted to keep it in libraries. The document's author reacted negatively to the challenges, noting minimal objectionable language was used and the story simply depicted children using their imaginations.

Walker has written numerous novels, short stories, poems, and essays that examine issues of race, gender, sexuality, and class from an African American perspective.
