During the war in Vietnam, he worked tirelessly for reconciliation between North and South Vietnam and his courageous efforts moved Martin Luther King to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. I have played for many years with substituting different words for each of these aspects, but the principles remain the same (according to my humble science) and offer a more inclusive way of organizing our (views of) reality
Merton chose to want what he already had, and to be what he already was, and his ultimate goal in life was to first accept himself before he could really grow as a human being. In his encyclical, Pope Francis challenges all of us to ask "what is it we really need?" To recognize that what we take and buy comes out of the land and lives of others, and is bleeding Mother Earth to death
I'd stay up as late as I could stand trying to get all the stuff in my mind typed out, and then crawl, exhausted, into bed (my baby still wasn't sleeping through the night, yet) only to have another conversation start in my head. For my vampire (who I was in love with from day one) I decided to use a name that had once been considered romantic, but had fallen out of popularity for decades
Favorite Books for Kindergartners - GreatSchools.org
Although the concepts are complex, children will get a rudimentary explanation of the orbit, rotation and tilt of planet Earth, gravity, why we have seasons, and what happens as day turns into night. There's a real surprise ending to this must-read for any child who is feeling those "first day jitters." Older children as well as pre-schoolers will relate to this story
The letter caused the investigators to withdraw their paper from an academic conference, and engaged the Electronic Frontier Foundation to file suit to confirm their First Amendment right to freely publish their research. The announcement in 2011 of a new edition of Huckleberry Finn that would replace that word, and "injun", with less offensive words, triggered a widespread public debate in the US
Favorite Books for Fourth-Graders - GreatSchools.org
The authors detail the animals' system of communication (nudges, nips and a special call), how they play together and how Owen acts more like a tortoise than a hippo. This leads to a challenge: Which group, the boys or the girls, can be quieter for two days? How does this contest affect the fifth-graders, their teachers and their principal? What do they learn about language and the power of words? This is a very funny book that will make everyone think about how much we talk and all those wasted words

Animal Farm, George Orwell: The dystopian allegorical novella addresses not only the corruption of the revolution by its leaders but also how wickedness, indifference, ignorance, greed and myopia destroy any possibility of a Utopia. This book, first published in 1849, it argues that people should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that people have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice
I won't discount what you compiled on your list, but I will say that for the reach that your magazine gets, two or three people making the decision is a bit laughable. For example, "The Fault in Our Stars" is so much more than a love story and would belong on the list, as well as "The Hunger Games", "Harry Potter", "To Kill a Mockingbird", and "The Outsiders"
Please note: Because there is substantial differences between the 2006 and 2008 lists, there may be a bit of awkwardness around the numbering and the century in which it was published.
