Hello Chris,

I revere you positive outlook on textbook reading, as most college students lament being required to read them. Like yourself, I also find textbook reading to be an enriching experience. Maybe in the near future I can make time for reading books for personal enjoyment and read Hiroshima.

Best Reguards,

    Response To John Hersey's 'Hiroshima'

    Michael Nickerson ELA 10th summer reading essay Entry 1 After reading the first ten pages of “Hiroshima”, by John Hersey, I got a good view of the lives that were affected by the bombing. The main characters introduced to me were civilians, both rich and poor, who did nothing wrong. They lead normal lives all the way up to the dropping of “little boy”, however once the bomb dropped , it is apparent that their lives were never going to be the same way again. As for reviewing how good the book seems after the first ten pages, I would say its starting with giving very specific details about the lives of our main characters before the bomb dropped, this can be a bit dull, but after the bombing, the story becomes more interesting and will probably…

    Matthew Myers English 10 Honors Pre-AP Vidal September 2, 2016 How to Read Literature like A Professor Chapter Response Introduction Recognizing patterns can make reading easier by helping the reader to comprehend the more complicated parts of a book so the reader can get a deeper sense of what the book is trying to portray.

    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.…

Some people fight wars just so their children can get an education, read books, and understand their future possibilities. In Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451, people don’t know what books actually are because they are censored to the point of destruction just to appeal to the larger audience. “You weren't there, you didn't see," he said.…

    Mrs Bunkers Reflection

    The students in Mrs. Bunkers 2nd period class were students that did great in school and were taking advanced level classes. The students were not being challenged in class and did not want to do some of the regular things that Mrs. Bunker had them doing like reading the textbook. Miller in, The book Whisperer said “I have learned that students hunger for more information, beyond what their social studies textbooks offers if we go the extra mile to provide it” (Miller, 2009, p. 79). Providing additional text and information could encourage a student to learn more about the subject outside of the classroom and encourage a love for learning. Many students want to know how the information connects to their lives or how the information connects to society today.…

    Richard Rodriguez's 'The Lonely Good Company Of Books'

    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.…

    How Reading Changed My Life Analysis

    Reading Memoir John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars, stated,” Great books help you understand, and they help you feel understood.” Actually, reading books helps me to explore the world. When I was just a little girl, I loved reading fairy tales which brought me to many vicarious thrilling adventures, and when growing up, non-fiction books taught me how to become a good person. Besides that, reading has brought me to many various levels of emotions, such as joy, love, hate, fear, and sorrow. Some stories not only make me feel euphoric with happy endings, but they also make me feel despondent when a character’s deep sorrow touched my heart.…

    My Reading Experience

    In seventh grade, my reading experience went farther downhill. The teacher expected us to do projects reflecting over what we had read every time we finished a book, with a minimum of five per trimester. I hated doing these reflection projects, so my quantity of reading fell further to just five books every three months. However, the final nail in the coffin of my reading came in eighth grade. On the first day of school, the teacher informed us that the only genre we would be allowed to read for out reading logs, which were unnecessarily complicated, was nonfiction.…
