The eNotes Blog Judging a Book By ItsCover

Judging a Book By ItsCover A six year-old judges classic novels solely on their covers. At a loss as to how to explain the premise of more than a dozen classic works to her kindergarten-aged daughter, one blogger mom decided to find out how they might appear to the mind of a small child. The results will amuse and surprise you, mostly for the fact that six year-olds expect any book they come across to have a good really nice ending. How wrong they are But dont worry, no childhood innocence was crushed in the making of this article. The Great Gatsby I think its a book about a haunted theme park and it stars a magical magic guy and hes good and evil and hes trying to get rid of the ghosts. And I think at the end, since its haunted by a ghost, he tried to make the park go on fire and it did. Animal Farm It looks like a book for kids. I think it’s about a donkey and a pig that do not like each other and they both live on a farm for animals. The same farm. It looks like it would be a funny book with a good really nice ending. One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest I think it’s a book for kiddies, it’s a colorful book. I think it’s about a tiny bird that flew over a cuckoo birds nest, that is why it’s named that. It looks like a really sweet kiddy book. Wuthering Heights â€Å"It looks weird. I think this must be a book about a tree. I would not read a book about just a tree. And it looks like it’s a sad tree too since it has no friends.† A Clockwork Orange It’s about a person who is a robot, a very colorful robot. He’s pretty fancy for a robot. The Fellowship of the Ring This book is about a tree on a hill. The tree is the star of the book and it’s a very nice tree but everyone else is mean. I think the tree has a magical ring and some evil guys capture the ring and put him on the top of the hill so they can watch him. Farenheit 451 â€Å"I think this is about a gigantic robot who goes on fire and he doesn’t like himself. It has a sad ending. It looks like a book for teens. The title means fire, a really really really big fire since the number is 451, that would mean it was really hot. So the robot must get really hot. Maybe that is why he is so sad.† And just for fun Fifty Shades of Grey On the cover is a very weird looking Zebra. The book is about a zebra that wears pants. It’s a drama book about this zebra guy who likes to go fishing for aces. Click here for more hilarious and heartwarming summaries from the mind of a six year-old.

Alices Adventures in Wonderland So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality- the grass would be only rustling in the wind, and the pool rippling to the waving of the reeds- the rattling teacups would change to tinkling sheep-bells, and the Queens shrill cries to the voice of the shepherd boy- and the sneeze of the baby, the shriek of the Gryphon, and all the other queer noises, would change (she knew) to the confused clamour of the busy farm-yard- while the lowing of the cattle in the distance would take the place of the Mock Turtles heavy sobs. ~Alice in Wonderland, Ch. 12 Jane Eyre It was enough that in yonder closet, opposite my dressing-table, garments said to be hers had already displaced my black stuff Lowood frock and straw bonnet: for not to me appertained that suit of wedding raiment; the pearl-coloured robe, the vapoury veil pendent from the usurped portmanteau.   I shut the closet to conceal the strange, wraith-like apparel it contained; which, at this evening hour- nine o’clock- gave out certainly a most ghostly shimmer through the shadow of my apartment.   I will leave you by yourself, white dream, I said.   I am feverish: I hear the wind blowing: I will go out of doors and feel it.' ~Jane Eyre, Ch. 25 Beowulf The flower of thy might lasts now a while: but erelong it shall be that sickness or sword thy strength shall minish, or fang of fire, or flooding billow, or bite of blade, or brandished spear, or odious age; or the eyes clear beam wax dull and darken: Death even thee in haste shall oerwhelm, thou hero of war! ~ Beowulf, Ch. 25 Oliver Twist And what an excellent example of the power of dress young Oliver Twist was. Wrapped in the blanket which had hitherto formed his only covering, he might have been the child of a nobleman or a beggar; – it would have been hard for the haughtiest stranger to have fixed his station in society. But now he was enveloped in the old calico robes, that had grown yellow in the same service; he was badged and ticketed, and fell into his place at once – a parish child – the orphan of a workhouse – the humble, half-starved drudge – to be cuffed and buffeted through the world, despised by all, and pitied by none. Ch. 1, Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens

Classical Abbreviations for Authors and Their Works

Classical Abbreviations for Authors and Their Works There are certain standard abbreviations used in connection with the authors and their works in Classics. While I generally spell out the names and works of ancient authors, it is not always possible. Besides, youll find the abbreviations elsewhere. The following is a list of the ancient, non-Biblical writers and their works that you are likely to encounter during your study of Classics. Ill elaborate the first sets of abbreviations and a few throughout the list that might be puzzling. Aesch.
