Readers can sympathize with the type of isolation that was forced upon Wing Biddlebaum more than the self-imposed isolation of Doctor Reefy. The accusations made against Wing which forced him out of…

For the YA Interview assignment, I chose to interview one of my mom’s coworker’s sons. He is twelve years old and attends the 6th grade at Kinder Middle School.

and Prejudice, Moby Dick and The Stranger. Surprisingly, I did enjoy reading Life of Pi because I thought it was a good story and very thought provoking. Since I was reading most of these novels against my will, I found myself skimming through the pages to look for answers and never actually reading anything. I was never taught any text apprehension strategies so skimming was not always…

In todays’ society, a big part of arguments and conflicts have revolved around racism. Unless a person has gone to a high school or a University where the issue of racial privileges have been an issue, generally people tend to have their first encounter with the issue online. Misinterpretations of this discussion can often interfere with a persons view on this topic. Gwendolyn Brooks is a great American poet that portrays the lives of many Southern Chicago African Americans. I chose one of her…

When reading poetry or a novel, we tend to just read the words that are on the paper. This uses only one of our senses, our sight. Instead of using just this method to read and understand poetry, Billy Collins proposes other approaches. He wants readers to experience the poem, not just simply read it. Collins wants the reader to use more than one of their senses to understand the poem. Many times when reading, the reader tries to “torture” it to find the meaning, but Collins suggests readers…

Why do I enjoy reading you? Well, there were many things that influenced my joy for reading. The main thing that mainly stands out to me is my mom working with me through my younger years.

She is a thirty-six year old woman with brown hair and brown eyes just like mine. She is about the same height as I am, but a little bit…

In his essay, Edmundo use various methods to convince that most readers read only for pleasure and entertainment, that only a few read to be influence. it was very interesting because it is true, most readers like myself only read to be entertain and feel good.

I think by using the handscroll you can go through the work slowly and take your time which gives your mind time to imagine and absorb the images as it is slowly unrolled, much more like reading a book. You scroll thru like you would turn the pages of a book and take as much time as needed. When you are looking at hanging scrolls you see the work in its entirety and have to take in everything at once. To me hanging scrolls are more for an artwork that is to be viewed in its entirety and with…
