Stuart Little
Stuart Little written by E.B. White is the story of a small mouse living in New York City with his family raising him as their son. Stuart is one to make friends and have adventures in any way he can. This story is one of anthromorphism in my opinion I believe.

Sketches of Mine
This piece is one of mine well most of my sketches that start out with a cube and working out from that point. In the drawings are also squares and triangles as well. This one could be titled 'alien child' or anything that you think it may be. All of sketches so far have been done on this lined paper. These sketches all started off with me drawing just a regular cube and shooting off from there with triangles and squares and at times in other sketches that I plan to share circles.

'This Side of Paradise'
Here is a critique of a classic novel that I just finished about a week ago. The name of the novel is 'This Side of Paradise'. The author is quite famous for a lot of his work. His name is F. Scott Fitzgerald. My idea is to start reading or even re-reading and offering reviews and critiques of my collection of classic novels that I have bought over the years.

The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project and Research for Advanced Practice Nurses
The next two textbook reviews are 'The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project' and 'Research for Advanced Practice Nurses'. In the first textbook to be reviewed it is mainly describing what a terminal graduate degree in nursing is all about. 'The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project A Framework for Success' is written by three women who are Katherine Moran, Rosanne Burson, and Dianne Conrad. As said above this is a book for students who are studying for a terminal graduate degree as a Doctor of Nursing Practice. The students may already be nurse practitioners but who want to do more for their patients or clients. This is a book that covers what the Doctor of Nursing Practice is all about from the history and the why nurses become doctor practitioners.
