Appreciation [Draft)

                                             
  I Appreciate the fact that Stuart is a very little mouse and his family treats him like he's a regular person.His family acts like Stuart isn't smaller then anyone else in the family.The Little family treats Stuart like he's his actual human son.Nobody puts Stuart down just because he's little,and they don't tell him that he can't do things just because of his siz
    In the beginning of the book Mrs.Little said "As Our New Son Arrived" and in the beginning it also said "He was quit smaller then any ordinary son. They acted like Mrs.Little actually gave birth to Stuart and Stuart is their actual son.Mrs.Little and Mr.Little Like if Stuart were George.But in some point of the book like in the begging I think that they take advantage of Stuart and his size. They asked him to get Mrs.Little's Ring from the drain, Whenever they play ping-pong and the ball rolls under the chair they would tell Stuart to go get it, and then when  one note in the piano didn't work they put him inside of the piano when ever someone played the piano.Stuart is very special because he has these unique qualities that nobody else does. I'm saying that when they take advantage of Stuart and his size they don't take advantage of him in a bad way.They take advantage because Stuart can do these things that /nobody else in the Stuart family can do.
    They treat Stuart like he's Just a regular person,and Stuart goes on a big journey to find Margalo but he doesn't even end up finding her at the end of the book.At the end of the book his journey just continues and i guess that the author probably wanted the reader to make up their own ending to the book. Like on the blurb of the book it says "He's one small mouse on one very big adventure". He's so small and he's doing these things that probably an average mouse cannot do.I think that is what E.B White is trying to tell you inside of this book Stuart Little he's trying to say just because your little dosn't mean you can do big thing.
     This book is a Time conssuming book because you can read it in any time period and you will still get the same message.

E.B White 

“real life is only one kind of life — there is also the life of the imagination.”
Born:July 11, 1899
Born in:Mount Vernon, New York,
United States Of America
Died:October 1, 1985

       E.B is the Author of Many children's   books his books his books include: Charlotte's Web,Stuart Little and The Trumpet of the Swan.
I have read two of these books,and i have enjoyed them very much. E.B White graduated from Cornell University in 1921. His Stories show hope in many different ways he is very inspiring to most of his readers.
E.B White has won many awards, including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal. Surprisingly he found writing very difficult even though he is a great writer. He loved writing Poetry the most. His inspiration for Stuart Little Was a dream “Many years ago,” E.B. White would say, “I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. That's how the story of Stuart Little got started.” His inspiration for Charlotte's Web was a spider at work “I had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving. Gradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation on a farm.” E.B White was a very remarkable writer.

Entry #6

      I think that my best annotation in the book Stuart Little is "I think they take advantage of Stuart and his size" Because in that part of the book they asked Stuart to go inside of the drain, to find Mrs. Littles ring,to go like under the couch to get the Ping-Pong balls when ever they would play Ping-Pong. To push up the piano key because it was broken and it didn't sound right so they put Stuart inside of the piano when ever someone would play the piano. they wouldn't even help Stuart get outside of the piano either. Also when Stuart would get out of the piano he would be almost deaf and he would barley be able to hear. I don't think that they always take advantage of Stuart like the way that they did through out the whole book,but in that specific part in the begging of the book that they would take advantage of Stuart like they did.
