    For my second book report, I read the book “All But My Life” by Gerda Weissman Klein. I chose to read this book because I thought it sounded interesting, and I always like learning more about the Holocaust and World War II time periods. I didn’t know much about the book, other than the fact that it is a memoir, but I was excited to be able to read it and learn more about history from it. Gerda Weissman Klein is a fifteen year old girl that lives in Bielitz, Poland with her family. The story begins on September 3, 1939 when the Nazis invade her town.…

    I used to hoard journals. They were beautiful; crisp lined pages on eggshell paper, leather-bound covers, the promise to hold something interesting and utterly unique to the person writing in it. The grittiness of the raw word, the aesthetically pleasing way black ink seeped and curved across the page, even the very concept that somebody’s most intimate possession could be created with only paper and pen and preserved forever... it all spoke to me on an artistic level beyond my own comprehension. I didn’t begin writing in my own journal until 7th grade, when the world seemingly had one motive: to make me feel as self-conscious, awkward, and out of place as possible.…

This thought of pressure and stress has caused me to become unmotivated when being motivated is the key element to reading and writing.
