Reflection On Junie B.

Decent Essays
I begin going to the library to check out books. I wanted to read every book I could just to gain points. One day not for any specific reason I decided to pick up a Junie B. Jones book. Junie B. was just like most 7 year old girls. She was curious and still learning right from wrong. In this specific book someone had stolen her new furry mittens.Once this happened she had the mindset that she could take others personal belongings but soon learns you cannot do that. I’m sure the book sounds really childish but I was in the second grade at the time. Her being around my age group in the books is what helped pull me in more as a reader. The things the book were about may not have been serious topics but it motivated me to keep reading. This

    This assignment presented a bit of a challenge, as it has been slightly over three decades since being a young teen. Also, since books were a significant portion of my life growing up and I was an advanced reader, it remains nearly impossible to isolate, which of the life altering books I read, at which stages of my life. Gone with the Wind, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, To Kill a Mockingbird, Little Women, Diary of Anne Frank, Westmark, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Island of the Blue Dolphins; it seems this list could continue forever, each beloved, tattered book still has a home on my bookcase and in my heart, and have their effect on my life and personal perspective. Although it may be possible I read it slightly later in my teen years, I finally settled on…

    Instead of being rigid and stiff like our educational system, we had the opportunity to incorporate what we liked in our readings. Books like the “Lightning Thief” and the “Bluford Series” were books that captivated me. After we were done with the book reports assignments I had read over 26 books with the reports. The book reports began to help me with my writings and it even motivated me to write a book although I never got around to…

    The book I started and will be sharing with you is called, Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I have only read the first four chapters and i feel like the book has gone through a whole year but it really only represents a week. In the beginning of the book I did not like it all I was even considering changing books, but I decided to give it another chance. I’m glad I kept reading because I fell in love with this book and can not put it down.…

    The book that I chose to read was The Curious Incident of the Dog At Night-time it is about a teenager named Christopher Boone and his life. The book is written from his perspective and talks mostly about his life with mild autism and his family relationships. Christopher’s autism makes what most people may think of as a simple task, very difficult. For example when Christopher had to ride the subway he was very scared, so much so that could barely function, this was triggered by of the amount of people around him. For me these struggles are not something I was familiar with before reading this book.…

    I recall as an elementary student reading my favorite series of all times Junie B. Jones. I was going through so much as a child that reading was the only way I could cope with my feelings. I learned the true meaning of struggle at a young age; life was very difficult at the time for me personally. I was not the type to talk about how I was feeling. I kept everything in, which was not good for my well being.…

    Whether it be a Goosebumps books or Mark Twain books you 'll go anywhere it leads you, but once I got into middle school and high school the books weren 't like that anymore. School books do have plenty of information in them, but they’re uninteresting to read. Not too many people want to get lost in a book about photosynthesis, they would much rather read a story about action and adventure. I do feel like reading the informational books for studies and homework did help when I would read them to finish my school work, but thats only if I could make myself read through them. Usually I would just skim through the book rather than read it word for word to get the main idea.…

    I couldn 't find a way to make myself interested in the things I was reading. Every year there was a new summer reading assignment and every year I didn’t read it. I would try to but along the way I would end up opening Sparknotes and reading the summaries of each book instead. At times I felt bad because I knew that I should be taking advantage of the access I had to those books, but they bored me. I longed to be able to dive into books and absorb everything in them, but I couldn’t get more than my toe in the water.…
