Struggling In Reading

Decent Essays
Show More
Reading is a subject that I have struggled in since I was a kid. I have always been in lower level English and reading classes to try to catch me up, but it has never helped. If I have the option to read or not I am going to pick to not read 10 out of 10 times. The only time I will read a book or anything of length is if I have to for a class. Struggling in reading is not the only reason that makes me dislike reading. Reading as a hobby is not for me because when you read you are just sitting, and not doing anything. That is not the type of person I am I like to get up and do activities and move around. When I do read it is usually right before I got to bed or on commercials when I am watching television.
The material I like to read or enjoy

    Esperanza Rising Research Paper

    To say that I am a reader would be a stretch. I can not remember the last time I picked up a book for my own personal pleasure. Some would say that should bother me, but I can’t agree with the reasoning behind it. Mostly people bring up how books have broadened their horizons and changed their way of thinking, which is something I can’t relate to. Instead, I would say that I agree with what a good book should do, but I can‘t say I have found a good book, or a page turner if you will.…

    Reading In Tim O Brien's The Things They Carried

    I always read as a kid. I was the small boy who plowed through books day and night, my mom scrambling to and from the library just to keep up with me. The only thing fixated on my mind was reading a new book and being totally captivated by the plot. Since then, I read less and less, sometimes going months without finishing a book. I feel sad that I spend less and less days staying up to midnight just to read one ... more … page.…

    Personal Literacy Statement Analysis

    Personal Literacy Statement for Shannon Brasher While I don’t remember learning to read as a child, I do remember being forced to read books that I had no interest in. Not only was this not enjoyable as I was not interested in the book, often times they were considered old classics like Shakespeare which were hard for me to comprehend what I was reading. This lead not only to frustration but I would quit reading the book which caused me to miss out on whatever the teacher was trying to teach. As a teacher I would strive to promote a love of reading in my students by allowing them to choose what they read from a selection of books.…

It seems like reading is something I've always known how to do. If it's something I've known for awhile why don't I engage in this activity more?…

    Obstacles In English Class

    In the quote by Christopher Columbus he states “By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination” I thought this quote pertained to me because I know this year there are going to be many obstacles in English class, but if I just push myself I know I can reach my goal. As a reader and writer, I believe that I have grown stronger over the years. In the past, I did not like reading at all I would try to get by with reading as little of the stories as possible in order to pass. I felt this way until this summer when I started to read the books for English.…

    I have been a reader for as long as I can remember. I remember hiding under my covers with a flashlight just to finish a good book.
