This was the start of a new hobby that left behind another. I never again found that same level of desire to read. I still read here and thee in middle school when I had nothing else to do. Reading became a time filler not something I sought out to do. As I journeyed through high school I struggled to find motivation to read even the assigned novels and reading.
3. Prose makes several key assumptions about the role and impact of reading literary works in high school. What are they? Some of the key assumptions that Prose makes about the role and impact of reading literary works in high school are that our literary taste and our love for reading is developed in high school, not before, not after. Also, that high school reading lists are developed by adults who had to suffer through the same system as the kids before them, thus developing their literary taste in high school and recycling the same books generation after generation.
After reading ‘Superman and Me,’ the essay written by Sherman Alexie, one can’t help but feel inspired and get that warm feeling inside. My first reading experience was similar to Alexie’s comic in that it was a random piece of literature that was being read. The first thing I ever read was a Christmas letter from my grandma’s neighbor and unbenounced to my family, simply grabbed it and read it from beginning to end. If I didn’t know a word I made it up and kept reading as to not lose my rhythm. For as long as I can remember, I have always been advanced for my grade in my reading abilities but the problem I cross in regards to reading is the interest level.
The books I check out at the LRC were interesting. The first Books I read were “Basket” by George Ella Lyon. I thought this book was fitted for young school aged children. This book would be categorized as a narrative poem. The author seems to tell a story about her grandmother and her basket that she always has with her.
My favorite thing to do in my spare time is read a book and watch crime shows. My strongest subject is English ,and my weakest subject is Math. I love to help people out even if I don't know them i will still lend a hand. I'm very quite , but I'm trying to come out of that an learn to be more talkative. Ever since I was in Elementary school I never really liked math maybe because I really didn't understand it.
Capstone CheckPoint Angela White LIT 210 December 13, 2012 Penny Crittenden Capstone CheckPoint As a teenager I read many different genres of literature such as romance, sci-fi, fiction, and drama. As a young adult, I read much the same but also added mystery and horror. I cannot say that I have an all-time favorite story or author, it all depends on my state-of-mind at the time I read. I did not have much interest in poetry until I learned about it in this class. I have now added “Salvation” by Langston Hughes, “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson, “1 Corinthians 13” by Paul and “Little Bessie Would Assist Providence” by Mark Twain.
The first time I had ever written was when I was around ten and things were kind of rough for me and my family. I just randomly whipped out a book and began writing about an adventure (which was strange considering I hated to read when I was young.) I think the Chronicles of Narnia had inspired me at that time. But when I really started pursuing writing was when I was in middle school and just bought my first laptop.
Dr. Roberts blogs at Cafe Hayek. I had already read The Invisible Heart and enjoyed it (my daughter did too). Wasn't sure what to expect when I picked The Choice from the library after having put it on hold. Only about 130 pages, a quick read. It's written like Dickens's A Christmas Carol.
Abraham's father married Sarah Johnston. Abe loved his new mom and her three children. Abe had to work and did not get to go to school very often. But he loved to read books and would read whenever he got the chance. Math was also a favorite subject for Abe.
A typical high school student just skims through a novel that he or she is reading in English class. This type of student does not develop emotions while reading. I was this student in high school and I was a slow reader with bad reading comprehension skills. Now, in college, only six months later, I am now able to comprehend everything that I read in the book Alone Together. But “why” you may ask?
