"Dad, may I please feed the bear?" asked my son, who was only four then. I had never seen his smile so big after I had taken him to the zoo. "Hey dad, can I do it again?" he asked, wishing he could do it every day. Ever since my tragic mistake I only see him with his head down. It seems as if our love for each other had faded away. The older he got the more we were split apart. "Do I have to go to boarding school?" asked Christopher Robin, who was on his knees, begging me to change my mind. "You have to go because of all the opportunities you will have. Trust me, this is for the best," I replied, hoping that he would see what I had wanted for him, but as he stepped foot on the train he wouldn't dare look back at me. "I love you son," …show more content…

"So then Christopher Robin would go out in the forest and go on many adventures with his friends Winnie and Piglet," I said to Christopher one night. It was one of the few times where we got to bond. I wrote them down and I was able to get an amazing artist to draw illustrations of my son and his stuffed animals. I got my first book, which was about Winnie the Pooh, published in 1925. Children all around the world loved the book. "Did you ever think that your book would get so much success?" asked a reporter one …show more content…

This is why I'm moving to London to have a fresh start," replied Christopher Robin. "Don't be so dramatic about this. Everything will be fine," I said, trying to calm him down. "Everything will be fine when I'm miles away from you," yelled Christopher Robin. I didn't believe him until he was gone the next day. I would sit for hours thinking of what I should have done. "What am I going to do?" I would ask repeatedly. I no longer cared for the fame or the money I received. I wish I could turn back. I wish I could see him like I did at the zoo. After I passed away my wife sold the rights of Winnie the Pooh to a company and poor Christopher Robin got nothing but torment. I would never have thought that he would forgive me until I saw him at his new job. "Get your brand new books! I'll sign any Winnie the Pooh book you buy! Come get your brand new books here!" yelled Christopher Robin. I was at a lost for words. I could now live in peace knowing how he felt. The only thing I could think of now was if he still missed me as much as I missed

  • Theodor Seuss Geisel's Life And Accomplishments

    My articles and illustrations were published in numerous magazines, including LIFE and Vanity Fair. A cartoon that I published in the July 1927 issue of The Saturday Evening Post, earned me a staff position at the New York weekly Judge. I then worked for Standard Oil in the advertising department for 15 years, where I began drawing “Quick, Henry, the Flit!” advertisements. In 1937, I published my first book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. As World War II started, I found myself increasingly drawn to the war effort. Therefore I joined the United States Army Motion Picture Unit, in 1943. After the war, in 1954, I published Horton Hears a Who!. In 1957, I published The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, and became the president of Beginner Books. In 1960, I published Green Eggs and Ham. Unfortunately, in 1967, my wife died, a year after How the Grinch Stole Christmas! appeared on TV. Thus, in 1968, I married Audrey Dimond. In 1984, I won a special Pulitzer Prize for contribution to children’s literature. However, due to oral cancer, I passed away on September 24, 1991 in

  • George Orwell 's Green Eggs And Ham By Dr. Seuss

    I try to forget most things that occurred during my childhood but one event that I do remember is from the second grade. My second grade teacher, Ms. Blackman, had assigned the class to read Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. We took a test on the book on a Friday morning and that same afternoon, we made “green eggs and ham” with food coloring, glue, and liquid starch. I learned the hard way that it was actually silly putty and it most definitely did not taste likes eggs nor ham. I was no longer a fan of my second grade teacher; however, Dr. Seuss and his 47 books, according to the Encyclopedia of World Biography, earned a special place in my heart. I made my mom read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish to me every night and multiple times a night.

  • Construction of the Child through Character in Milne's Winnie the Pooh

    1034 Words  | 3 Pages

    Owl's character as knowledge over amusement may be boring to children listening to his intellectual rambles e.g. Roo's boredom with the encyclopedia. Hence, characters like Winnie the Pooh, who brings amusement, may seem more attractive than Owl. While the character of CR is used to demonstrate the relationship between children and adults by the use of many parallels, speech and actions, it is the animals that represent the author's construction of different types of childhood. In addition to this, the animals are also the providers of amusement and entertainment which draw children's love and interest.

  • Personal Narrative: My Father's Absence

    Growing up, my father’s absence played a major factor in my stride for success. His absence was the scapegoat for why I always felt like I may not be good enough – or why I’d be looked at as an outcast. I’ve always made it my first priority to overcome his negligence by attempting to do my best in school – earning good grades, joining school clubs, giving back to the community. However, never did I receive the recognition I’ve always dreamed of and never was I satisfied with my outcome, but never did I think that I would find through the one who seized it all.

    “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh” is only an hour and fourteen minutes long. This is the perfect screen time for a young child. The major drawback of the length of the book is how wordy the book is. A kid as young as five does not want to read paragraphs; they would prefer a book where the pictures tell most of the story.

  • A.A. Milne’s The House At Pooh Corner

    898 Words  | 2 Pages

    Richard Robinson, the President and CEO of Scholastic Inc., the world’s largest publisher and distributor of children’s books, said that a great children’s text contains a simple and original idea, is written with humour and makes the world more interesting. Despite being published in 1928, A.A. Milne’s The House At Pooh Corner remains a highly effective children’s text. The text meets the criteria set out by Richard Robinson and it has been able to do so through its good uses of literary elements such as style, themes and characters. Some examples of this can be linked to the works of various developmental theorists such as Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky and Erik Erikson.

  • The Best Traits and Limitations of Eric Carle

    1825 Words  | 4 Pages

    It was a recent trip to the Kohl’s Department Store in Springhill, TN that declared what children’s author would be the best fit for writing a paper that addresses the best traits and limitations of such a person. Kohl’s Department Stores are currently featuring and selling four of award winning children’s author and illustrator Eric Carle’s books and plush animals in support of their program Kohl’s Cares, which gives 100 percent of their profit to support health and education initiatives in communities all over the nation. The books The Mixed-Up Chameleon, The Hungry Caterpillar, The Foolish Tortoise, and The Grouchy Ladybug, and plush chameleons, caterpillars, tortoises, and ladybugs can be purchased separately for five dollars each (“Kohl’s Cares,” 2011). On the inside flap of the featured books is a personal message from Carle stating how delighted he is for his books to be a part of the Kohl’s Cares program. He further states, “Thank you for your interest in my books and for sharing them with special people in your life.” Eric Carle’s books and merchandise makes over $50 million per year (Setoodeh, 2009). It was the award winning publication of Carle’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar in 1969 that started the chain of events that is now an empire of merchandise in its own right (“Eric,” 2002). Carle’s family and friends have speculated to why and how one book could become so successful, and Carle remarks that “’it is a book about hope. If you’re an insignificant caterpillar, you can grow up to be a butterfly in the world’” (Setoodeh, 2009). Carle’s childhood was a difficult one filled with much tribulations due to World War II.

After playing cougar for five minutes, I can honestly say I did not experience the wild adrenaline of a predator on the hunt or the euphoria of capturing prey. Instead, I felt like a wild cougar, preyed upon, in a canned hunt.

His detachment reached the point of no response, and he ceased communication all together, saying “It was needed for us to move on until college.” To this day I still love him, and I know he still loves me. He wants the best for me, and although it is painful because I cannot hear his voice, it’s truly what I need. “I will be there at the airport the day you arrive at your future college, I love you forever and always.” These were the last words that I heard from him, harsh, yet caring. To this day I still love him, and try to move on, but no one seems to even come close to this amazing person. “Love at first sight” I once believed as a fools quote, but today I see it as the most amazing thing in the world, something that is achieved by pure chance and luck, only experienced by few.
