In his novel, Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie presents his readers with a fantasy world named ‘Neverland.’ The properties of this place are that you must be a child to go there and that it exists outside of the solid, real world. The novel of Peter Pan discusses the idea of never growing up and maintaining child-like innocence for an eternity. Peter Pan, the character, does not grow up and his band of ‘Lost Boys’ are also permanently children. The obvious implication of this is that Barrie has carved out an allegorical message of why, as adults, it is ...

Color is a valuable resource in education especially if it comes in the form of pictures. Colors add to the attraction in learning and establishing the relevance and significance of learning. This poem, written in both Spanish and English, is an example of how bilingual language can be used in learning and teaching. I chose this poem as a resource since I felt that there is a dreamy use of color in it that initiates a sense of magic. This looks appealing in learning especially to children. The purpose of this resource is to heighten the sense of sound and color among students ...

One of the interesting things about the writing of John Steinbeck is the way in which such an ostensibly egalitarian writer condescends toward so many of the characters in his novels. The life story of four peasants was told by a writer with a cheerful sense of humor and at the same time was permeated by a sad sympathy for ordinary people, who were noble, honest, faithful to each other, but did not find their place in life. Even though those people live a simple (even poor) life, they are happy, because they are not suffocating from the spirit ...

The other way of building this relationship was through cultivating respect between them; the rulers and the subjects.
