'Charlotte's Web': The Book vs. Movie
Charlotte’s Web by E.B White is a popular children’s book about a spring pig named Wilbur who befriends Charlotte, a spider who occupies the barn he lives in. Wilbur learns that one day he may become dinner to the family who owns him. Charlotte helps Wilbur in any way she can to avoid that fate. The spider produces multiple webs that inscribe various positive adjectives to describe Wilbur. Charlotte’s Web has been turned into two movie adaptations over time, most famously its 2006 live action version. The movie contrasts with the book in various ways, but does it tone down the dark themes of death from its book counterpart? Yes, it does tone down the theme, but not to the detriment of the story. We still get the heartwarming feeling of friendship and the appreciation for the power of words that are the main themes of the book.

An Essay on Barbara Park
Barbara Park is one of my absolute favorite children’s book authors of all time. And I am not alone in this assumption. Many kids love Barbara Park as she received multiple Children’s Choice Awards. 60 million copies of her books have been sold in North America ALONE. Park is well known for writing the Junie B. Jones series as well as well as many other books. Park was born in Mount Holly, New Jersey on April 21, 1947. Park graduated from the University of Alabama, originally intending to teach history and political science. After reflecting on being voted the "wittiest" in high school, she was inspired to write humor. The first book Park ever published was Don’t Make Me Smile in 1981. All her stories have a humorous tone, but blend in serious topics such as divorce, moving, and the death of a sibling. I’m attracted to this blend and clearly young readers are too. For the most part, Park enjoyed writing children’s books in order to make children smile, “There are those who believe that the value of a children’s book can be measured only in terms of the moral lessons it tries to impose or the perfect role models it offers.”

The Art of Fanfiction
Have you ever finished a movie or read a book and felt as if there could have been more? Will the creator ever add to the work, you wonder? Sadly, creators decide to end where they please, but for you, the story will always be incomplete—unless you add more by writing your own take, and then sharing it with other fans. That’s fanfiction. For me fanfiction is both a unique form of writing and the way I developed my own ongoing skills. The literary form known as fanfiction is centered around any kind of published, original work inspired by previously existing books, films, TV shows, music and even tales of celebrity life. This pre-existing work is then reinterpreted or expanded by those who value it. In our technological era, fanfiction has become a popular internet craze. Critics and accomplished writers believe that, for developing writers, fanfiction is a wonderful way to gain training wheels into the world of writing, as author Neil Gaiman remarks. I believe that fanfiction should be considered an important writing form, as it tests writers’ imaginations and challenges them to practice creative writing without having to worry about being published in the traditional way.
