The Miraculous Journey Of Edward Tulane: An Analysis

397 Words2 Pages

One novel in particular that I love is Kate DiCamillo’s The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. What I find most remarkable about this novel is that although it is geared towards a younger audience, it still holds many valuable lessons that are applicable to older audiences as well. Edward Tulane is a rather cynical porcelain rabbit who had lived life too comfortably. However, everything changes when he is lost by his owner, and after spending months in a toyshop, Edward admits that he didn’t care about anyone anymore. When I first read his bitter words, I was astounded. Yes, he had suffered a lot, but many people had also loved him in many different ways. Did he truly not care for anything, not hope for anyone?

    He has a kind heart and good intentions, but he cannot convey his message properly. Speaks to me: I think the issue of not being able to express thoughts in a proper way is a problem much larger than presented in this book. Many people, including myself, feel a certain way about a subject or individual, but we cannot express how we feel in a manner that properly reflects our feelings. Specifically, many people

    The book that I choose for the post 1940 independent reading project is ‘Rabbit, Run’ by John Updike. ‘Rabbit, Run’ was published on November 12, 1960 and it takes place in different places as it goes from the mountains and a big city in Brewer. John Updike is a two time winner of the National book award. John Updike’s purpose for writing ‘Rabbit, Run’ began was to develop the character that would become Harry Angstrom. Harry Angstrom was the main character of ‘Rabbit, Run’ and the idea behind this main character and story was to describe the life of a former high school basketball star named Flick Webb.

Perhaps I can relate to something the author wrote, but that doesn’t mean I feel as though every human alive

  • The Kite Runner Argumentative Analysis

    Honestly, I didn’t understand why Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner was so life-changing until a random conversation, two years after I first read the book. Unusual isn’t it - our favorite books typically stand out as soon as we read them. But the best books are the ones that you have to think about, the ones that mean something special - the ones that cause self-reflection. The time came to write another AP Language argument essay - this one was examining the morality of transcendentalism. I scoffed, “What kind of idiot would run off into the woods to ‘find himself’ rather than have a job, family, and dignity?”

    An example of this would be The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. I would consider The Golden Compass a fantastic piece of literature because of its ability to appeal to audiences young and old. It is a mystical adventure of bravery, and kindness for younger readers and a much more intellectual journey with commentaries on religion, authority, and the human condition for older readers. Pullman did not write for one specific audience in mind, but he wrote for the sake of communicating a message, and doing it in a smart and entertaining fashion.
