At this point, I think it depends on what are your reading interests and how reading meets your interpretation skills to be understood or to get you involved on its field. I have always been a thinker, but throughout my coursework, I have sharpened my critical analysis skills and I like to read more books than I did before. First time that I started to read it was in my first grade. I was so excited at the time and I felt like a hero. My first teacher, Luljeta, was a big help to put me in the track.
I always ask myself before starting work. This is where reading and writing are also good to know. If I couldn’t read or write, I wouldn’t never know when the product was expired, or how to write how much I have made of a certain product. I have always been a good reader, always in advanced reading in school. My writing I think was pretty good I had a poem published about 12 years ago.
The teacher allowed me to write on any topic of my choosing. I chose to write about my dog Oreo, that had died the year prior. Oreo’s death was significant, especially at such a young age. Telling my own true story came easy to me. The pencil hit the paper, and before I knew it I was finished.
I’ve always been a person with a growth mindset, I can thank my dad for that, and this book just seemed to be a great fit for the type of reading that I do for fun outside of school ,so I felt it would be the best fit for me. As I began reading this book, I had already learned about the immense power of effort and where the right amount of concentrated and well preformed effort could take anyone. However, I had no idea of this “fixed mindset” which caused people to believe that effort was not as powerful, as I know it to be, but actually bad. I learned so much about the extent that the fixed mindset can take you. It can take someone who as all the talent in the world, such as one of my personal heroes Billy Beane, and force them to fail at their true dream and passion.
Reading and writing isn’t a daunting task for me. It transports me back to my childhood where my parents and I connected over our love of language and books. From the moment I first learned to read, I couldn’t stop. I read everything: street signs, cereal boxes, even things I probably wasn’t supposed to read. My parents realized they would soon have to spell things out, as many parents do.
It will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he ever possessed. I decided to read this book I had to do an English assignment on it in intermediate. When I read the book, I was instantly drawn to the interesting storyline because I had never read this kind of book before. The book is rather well written and the language is easy to understand.
Ever since his brilliant insight, reading clicked for him. He was even able to take the concept of what paragraphs meant and compare them to real life This was a talent he grew up with and never gave up, as we know since he became a writer himself and now visits those schools hoping to enlighten those boys into the lifestyle he grew up livings with possibly even giving them the chance of survival. Sherman metaphorically gives us enlightenment that he is Superman. Just like how he saw Superman breaking through those doors in the comic book, he broke down those social barriers of a failing Indian in the non-Indian
There are a few stories in the E-Fictions short story collection that I’ve read before, either through previous Literature courses, or through my studies as a Fiction Writer major, and one story that I never get sick of reading is “The Red Convertible” by Louise Erdrich. It was actually a surprise to see it in the index of this particular book, because I had never seen it before I read it for my Fiction Writing II class in my second semester as a college freshman. After rereading it on a whim one night during Spring Break, I realized that I should not be surprised to see it a second time – but that I should be surprised that I had never heard about it before my Freshmen year of college. This story, “The Red Convertible,” has well placed elements, a good use of foreshadowing, amazing character development, a solid pace, and a clever use symbolism. In my opinion, the quality of this story surpasses the ones that get picked apart and repeatedly presented to high school students.
Jim Keenan English 101 It Puts The Lotion In The Basket As most kids gradually start to read more and more as they mature, I was one of the few who didn't learn to enjoy reading until senior year of highschool. The teachings of Tom Alessandri were the sole cause of my newfound appreciation for literature. All it takes is the inspiration of one individual to turn someone onto reading and writing. Tom Alessandri was the last highschool English teacher I had, taking his Science Fiction & Horror Literature class. While many people would be discouraged by the title of the class alone, I was intrigued and immediately signed up.
My Greatest Writing Experience Thus Far Until recently, I never thought of writing as an enjoyable or therapeutic activity that I could use to help with any daily struggles I may be dealing with. However as I continue to grow older, I am becoming fonder of writing for fun. Whether it may be just to put my thoughts down onto paper, or wanting to write a story for entertainment, writing or typing in any form has proven to be beneficial to my journey through college. Growing up with a learning disability caused writing to be difficult, and sometimes a nearly impossible to think about having to begin such a tedious task. Having severe speech problems as a child, combined with handwriting and spelling issues, I found myself keeping more to my own thoughts and never being able to express my thoughts on paper.
