Lois W. Johnson/Trouble at Wild River
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page book review of a juvenile novel. Trouble at Wild River by Lois W. Johnson is a thrilling, suspense novel geared toward pre-teen readers. The suspenseful narrative propels the novel, as the young people, Kate and Anders, endeavor to discover who has been changing the ownership markings on the logs that farmers will be sending down river. However, the novel has a broader appeal than that of a simply mystery, as it addresses how Kate is adapting to her new family. Her mother has recently married Anders’s father. Also there are familial issues with her mother’s brother Ben. As this suggests, the volatile emotions of a pre-teen girl are addressed within the framework offered by the mystery.

Mother Goose and the Cheshire Cat -- Charles Perrault and Lewis Carroll
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses two of the Western world’s great story tellers -- Charles Perrault and Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll). “At the time it all seemed quite natural,” Lewis Carroll wrote in the scene in which the White Rabbit first appears to Alice. Likewise, Cinderella does not seemed amazed when her godmother, who also happened to be a fairy, sent her to the garden for a pumpkin that promptly became a gilded coach. It is important for readers, both those of the 21st century and those that were contemporaries of the authors, to understand that neither piece of literature is “just” a children’s story. Each offers any number of ways of unfolding as a fabric of symbols, psychological, political, and otherwise. No additional sources.
