My Favorite Literature To be honest with you, I did not read much of anything when I was a child. My mom always told me old Japanese fables that had been passed down from generation to generation. I went to an international school when I was younger and cannot remember reading anything except from Phonics, to learn English. I do remember that there was one piece of children’s literature that I fell in love …showed first 75 words of 408 total…

…showed last 75 words of 408 total…change from the male heroes that we seemed to always focus on. I’ve probably read Island of the Blue Dolphins more than fifty times and each time I feel as though it is a completely different story from the last time I read it. Especially reading it as a little girl versus reading it now, I still connect with Karana, but it’s on a whole new level and I love that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
