There is always those “ok” books and those “good” books, and even those “great” books but The Running Dream is a book so special you will never forget it.. From the first day I opened the first page of the book, I was intrigued and curious. Me and Jessica shared many common characteristics which lead to a special connection between me and Jessica. Having this I continued to read the book to see what made her special. Jessica was just like me, athletic, happy, living the life that every kid our age would.
Dreaming in Cuban explores the interpersonal and familial relationships of one Cuban family. The matriarch Celia and her American granddaughter Pilar serve as the two main protagonists. Much of the novel focuses on their struggles with identity and their relationships with their families, though the novel dedicates a significant amount to tell the story of Lourdes Puente, the mother of Pilar and the daughter of Celia. Throughout Dreaming in Cuban, Lourdes is shown to be unable to properly cope, which began with the trauma of miscarrying her son shortly before the family fled to the United States. She lacks the proper familial support system outside of her father to do this, so she is shown using sex and food to cope with her helplessness as
A wise, thoughtful man once said, “Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out” –John Wooden. Many people can agree with this statement and can relate to it very easily. Simple statements, like these, can produce a lot of power. The saying about the glass half full or half empty comes to mind: if you stay positive and never get too down on yourself, then everything will work out. Based on a true story, Margarita Engle uses symbolism and imagery, to create vivid images and demonstrates how one girl’s courage changed music, in the poem “Drum Dream Girl”.

A historical example of a person with dreams is Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton was born in 1755 or 1757 (the date is not precisely known) on the island of Nevis. From the beginning he experienced poverty, hardship and death, but he always dreamed of glory and a better life. He started working at age 11 and his intelligence and maturity was soon noticed by his boss. Funds were raised to send him to America to get an education and at the age of 16 he left his home for New York.
Dreaming and waking are mentioned multiple times within the book, but the elaborations are what I find interesting. There is a fine line between dreaming and being awake, and only some people can ride the line in between experiencing the dreamworld as if they were awake. Rosie Mclendon, also known as Rose Daniels, is prone to both bad dreams and bad awakenings. There have been moments in her marriage where fear will cause her to awaken in screams and sweat, but she must suppress the screams in fear of waking Norman up. To me Stephen King perfectly summed up the concept of dreaming in two sentences, “The concept of dreaming is known to the waking mind but to the dreamer there is no waking, no real world, no sanity; there is only the screaming bedlam of sleep” (9).
The King’s shadow is a historical fiction that takes place during King Harold’s reign and specifically focuses on a young peasant named Evyn. As you might expect like any young person Evyn has dreams, specifically he wanted to become a storyteller. This is important as storytellers around this time, according to the book at least, often used their voices tell these tales rather than letting an individual read them. However, as you might expect from a story set during the medieval period Evyn’s dream will be stolen before he was even given a chance to even try. This was done by a group of thugs who not only cut off Evyn’s tongue, causing him to lose his voice, but also took it one step further and killed Evyn’s father.
For example, if someone had the desire to write a book, they would write copious amounts of drafts and edit all their work. Also, it might take several times to figure out everything. Dreams are not a one-step process. They take time, but there will be time. In a minute there is time for a hundred visions and revisions.
If he were to forget his dream-state, he could cyclically spend his lives trying to remember what he dreamt, without realizing he already woke
I personally believe that Michael Mack does a wonderful job throughout his speech to the college freshmen. I for one believe that he strongly was able to get his point across to the freshmen and perhaps even help them learn to enjoy the thrill of reading his works. In the second paragraph Mack relates Shakespeare to music which in a way is exactly true. Shakespeare to me is interesting in and of itself however for others it may not be quite so. For those types of people looking at Shakespeare in comparison to music may help them to open their eyes and see the beauty of it all.
Can you remember the last dream you had? Maybe you could fly or were falling down an endless dark tunnel. Perhaps you were awakened by a horrific dream in the middle of the night. They are usually accompanied by muscle spasms and twitches of the entire body. Although these dreams occur while we are falling asleep, they interpret a completely different meaning.
The Aborigine understanding of the Earth’s creation, the Dreaming, truly entrances me. The Dreaming consists of a legend of supernatural beings, Ancestors, essentially molding the Earth and leaving signs of their presence behind. What is fascinating to me about this tradition is that, for such an isolated group of people, it seems to reconcile with cultural and social differences. The understanding that different tribes, customs, and societies all exist as a result of Ancestor’s deliberate actions creates not only the acceptance of diversity, but the celebration of differences all as products of a higher power. The tradition also demands a great respect and admiration of the Earth, as every lake, river, and mountain is product of God’s
Dreammercialism I am walking down the streets of neon lights and gleaming billboards. A big, pink donut is following me up to the corner of the street, blabbering on about his lemon custard and chocolate topping. I run away. The sparkly billboards dazzle me. I squint, then close my eyes.
