Charlotte's Web
Just finished re-reading 'Charlotte's Web' by E.B. White for the umpteenth time, and for me it shows me many lessons that we all need to learn and remember. Actually, it is the story of the facts of life from birth to death to dealing with other societal issues like dealing with family relationships like Fern does when saving the 'runt' as well as just plain growing up issues, and learning how to accept what happens to all involved in living life and making various kinds of friendships and still learning that there is a higher power to live our lives.

Reader Response Analysis of Borges
Jorge Luis Borges’ short story The Circular Ruins is often read as a meditation on reality, illusion, and the nature of creation. However, through the lens of Reader-Response Theory, the meaning of the story becomes deeply personal—formed not solely by Borges’ intent, but by how the text interacts with the reader’s beliefs and experiences. For me, this story resonates profoundly with my spiritual belief that the soul is eternal and that after death, it transcends this earthly plane and moves to a higher state of being. Through that perspective, the story becomes not a tale of existential dread, but one of comfort, transformation, and divine continuity.
