347 Words2 Pages
My reading goals this year was to finish a whole book that is 225 pages within 2 weeks. A way me and my teacher achieved that goal was by reading the 16 pages a day and it was surprisingly easy because i got to read which passed the day and i got more information about how others feel about others. The book i read was the oxygen thief and my perspective of how others think has changed because the guy that wrote that book was a heartless guy who loved to hurt women because of the one time he got hurt so he hurt independent strong women and made them weak after they fell in love with him like the girl who hurt him did but then he did it for fun. But the book made a huge impact on my thoughts towards others. After i read the book i wrote a paper

On most essay topics there are specific requirements that must be followed which can then limit the student’s ability to expressively write and cause them to feel less confident since their writing is restricted. Literacy narratives, however, allows the student to write freely and express themselves more due to the fact there is incorrect answer because afterall it is the writer’s own personal experience. In my particular literacy narrative I spoke how disappointed I was to spell “hoax” as “hoaks” in my elementary school’s annual spelling bee even though I still placed fourth overall. Although that tiny detail is not greatly needed, I put that in my essay anyway because I felt like that was something important to share. When it comes to stricter

I didn’t learn to read or write until I was 7 years old. I was in my second grade class and my peers and I were sitting in a circle when the teacher called on me to read. I sputtered some gibberish with a tomato red face. The only words I recognized were “it’s” “it,” and “a”- which is really just a letter.

My whole life I struggled to understand what made reading enjoyable to people. I struggled to focus on the ideas of books. It wasn't until about a year ago I was given a book to borrow from a friend. I saw this friend as a mentor in my life and she felt I needed to read this book. I put off reading the book as long as possible but when I finally started progressing through the book my opinion had been altered.

In my childhood, I was curious and full of energy. I was in an age where I was being to explore and learn new things, and most of the times my curiosity lead me into serious trouble. It was double the trouble when I include my sister in the picture. We were the worse when we were around six or seven years old. My aunt used to compare us to a tornado because we were always causing chaos and breaking something around her house.

For my literacy interview I interview a young lady by the name of Jeanette Zamarripa. I did Ms. Jeanette because I have gotten to know her over the years. I met Ms. Jeanette at Lone Star in Tomball a while back, we had a math class together, but we never really talk to each other, until last year we have several classes together, and we did remember each other from the math class we took a while back. I think everything happens for a reason, and that the Lord put people in your path for a reason as well. We were both attending UHD.

An inevitable part of growing is constantly learning and experiencing new things. After a certain period of time, we come to that point that we become able to think about everything we have learned until now in a completely independent way. This point is maybe one of the most difficult ones, since it deeply reaches our conscience. It also requires a lot of sacrifice from us to let the wrong opinions and ideas be replaced with the logical and reasonable ones.

For as long as I can remember I have loved reading. Fiction, non-fiction, biographies, it doesn’t really matter to me. I remember my mom trying to teach me how to read when I was three.

I had a big challenge growing up and had trouble with reading in my elementary years. Growing up listening to Spanish music and talking mostly Spanish was hard for me to start school and learn English, at 4 years old. The challenge was that for some reason I mixed my B's and D's, are and our, and would read slowly. Every time I read I saw the words but couldn’t pronounce them well and took time to see if I am reading it correctly, which most of the time I was not. No one knew I had trouble reading because I never showed it.

As I first began to write my RR’s, I used a heuristic trial and error tactic. I needed to decide what worked best for me before I could make my RR’s insightful and interesting. For my first reading response, I read through the different categories to get a feel for what I should be looking for while close-reading. I found something interesting, stopped reading, and wrote my reading response in the midst of the composition. I discovered that I didn 't really like this method that much because I didn 't get the chance to wholly appreciate the beauty of the work, as I stopped in the middle of it to complete the RR.

Books I think are powerful. Books contain so much more than just the story it 's a mindset, and by reading different books, I feel we can be alike in some ways but completely different from others. We will always have likes and dislikes, but once we start to read a book I think we can go in with an open mind set and when we finish, or if we don 't we have are own opinion. A different mindset from everybody else, and that 's extraordinary. That should say something to people and I don’t understand how some people don’t see
