Over the summer us freshman were given assignments all revolving around the book "Bamboo People" by Mitali Perkins. So, to start, I read the book.
As I read, I marked every instance that these themes came up: Reading is rewarding, reading is hard, and "hard" is necessary, reading arms you against oppression, and reading develops your moral compass. Then I described on paper the quotes I found, explained their relationship to the theme, and explained why I chose them. This was for my English class. We turned in our assignment and discussed it in class soon after school started. Both the reading and discussions helped me realise how important reading is, and I don't take it for granted anymore.
