Reading Interest Survey
The two students I interviewed for the interest reading survey were my two brothers Airian and Adrian. The two had very different results. I will analyze their results individually and then I will analyze them together as well as make suggestions for each of the two in topics I believe they would be interested in reading.

Airian has been nurtured and seeks the reality of the world whereas Adrian is still looking for the nurturing but now in his own created
