Reader
____________________________________________________________________________
From biographies to fiction, I like it all. (Well, maybe except Gothic Fiction and some Horror books. Those aren't very pleasant.) I read to learn, experience something, or just for entertainment. The first chapter book I ever read was Child Of The Mountain by Marilyn Sue Shank. I grabbed it off a shelf in the public library, checked it out, and read. I finished it quickly and that made me start reading pretty much any children's chapter book I could get my hands on. All through elementary school, teachers started assigning books. I actually read all of them. I didn't particularly enjoy stopping every page to write down a sign post or figurative language though. My favorite part was writing book reports. At the end of third grade, my teacher (Ms.

When I write, I either get stuck or write paragraphs. I like to write about everything that I ponder about, have ideas for, or read. I like to write mostly realistic fiction or nonfiction. I like to write facts or things that might actually happen. I don’t like writing untrue or fiction information(Except if it has something to do with either utopian and dystopian fiction) . I wouldn't be the best candidate if you were trying to persuade someone. In class, I love doing speed writes. It lets me focus on putting my ideas on paper instead of trying my best to make a sentence perfect. I write quicker one prompts that are more specific. When we wrote our poems, were required to include figurative language. In my opinion, figurative language is an excellent addition to a poem or personal narrative. It lets the writer express themselves more clearly and gives the reader a glimpse of the moment or feeling that is being presented. We also do journal entries like summaries and reflections. I would not say that is an area I am overly confident
I have always been and forever will be in love with reading. I realized this when I was in fourth grade with my teacher Mrs. Gokey. She had light brown curly hair with a few blonde strands here or there up to her shoulders, stood almost 6 feet tall, and had the gentlest hazel eyes a person could have. Mrs. Gokey would read us books every Friday as a sort of treat for getting through the week. One of her first reads was the book "Mick Harte Was Here".
Figurative Language is saying something other than what is literally meant for effect. When authors use figurative language, it is a way for them to express their feelings, as well as their emotions. Often times when an author is trying to send a message to the reader, they will use figurative language, because figurative language is an easy way to convey a message in a story. In Jonathan Edwards "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and Dekanawida's "The Iroquios Constitution" there are great examples of figurative language.
Superheroes of today and mythological characters inspire us to be “our better selves.” because, of the there heroism and courageous acts. For example, they inspire us to save lives and help other people. The texts says from “into the Maze of Doom” ““You can’t change my mind it is my duty to save our people”(pg14) Also, ““.......I will slay the beast so the no other must die…….. Let me do this, father.
“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power.” -Patrick Rothfuss. Everyone in uses figurative language in someway, you could be writing a paper, yelling at your sister, or maybe just talking to yourself. But you use it in someway, shape, or form.
Today, there are endless arguments about the existing of the American dream. In “They say, I say” by Gerald Graff, Cathy Birkenstein and Russel Durst. There are four article that I have evaluated. The upside of income inequality – Gary S. Becker and Kevin M. Murphy, American Dream: dead, alive, or on hold – Brandon King, Bring on more immigrant entrepreneur – Shayan Zadeh, America remains the world’s beacon of success – Tim Roemer
I do not like to read a book but I like to read texts or Facebook posts. I didn't like to read a large and big books. I like to read a short and easy story book.
In the articles that I read from the book "Somebody told me" by Rick Bragg, the characters faced many different issues. Some of the issues were significant while others weren't as important but all of the issues were important. All three articles had three types of issues the people were facing. In the articles, the individuals faced struggles because of the type of people they were, because of the need to provide for their family, and because of loss of a family member.
My favorite author was the writer for Goosebumps when I was 4 years old and we read many books from the Goosebumps series. I also developed an interest in chapter books. I was in the second grade when my mom and dad would read to me these books. We read together the Hobbit, Phantom Tollbooth, and Percy Jackson series. I also read some current events on my own in school.
Figurative Language can help improve a story because it helps you visualize the story and help engage the reader into the
Charles Baxter’s book “There’s Something I Want You to Do” is composed of ten chapter, each focussing on one of the seven deadly sins and their vices. The chapter that stood out the most to me (and what this essay will focus on) was the first chapter, titled Bravery. Besides the fact it’s main character is a doctor which is what I’m going to school for, the emotions described in this chapter were very genuine. But, before getting into the specific contents of the chapter, the idea behind the seven deadly sins must first be understood.
From a very young age, about 5, I remember reading being the easiest thing I knew how to do. Most kids in my school hated it, but I had a passion for reading. The liberating feeling, and sensation of being able to do something on my own, encouraged me to read even more. Two people
Writing is a vital part of life. Before the creation of written language human communication was limited to verbal, in-person conversations. Everything changed when writing allowed thoughts and ideas to travel farther and more efficient than ever before. Writing is a talent that we learn at an early age and only hone as we proceed through our academic careers. This being said, as with any talent every writer has strengths and weaknesses.
Today the books that always manage to get my attention are usually the books based on true events. My earliest memory of being read to isn’t necessarily being read to by my parents but being read to by teachers. Both my parents were always working, so they never had time to read to me. I didn’t have any older siblings to help me so when I started school, it was the first time I was exposed to reading.
During my elementary years, I don’t recall being interested in reading, but I do remember the first time I fell in love with it. I was in my 7th-grade reading class. I just completed a quiz when my teacher realized that I had nothing to do after. She offered me a book that I will remember for the rest of my life because it is the book that basically started my reading journey. It was called Tears of a Tiger by Sharon Draper, I loved the book so much that I read the whole entire series.
My experience as a reader isn 't as extraordinary as many, but I love to read. I had some great teachers throughout my education that taught me to enjoy reading challenge oneself and not be intimidated by it. Through college and today I do not have much time to read, other than school books speech, education ,and reading. Those are the sweet books I know read.
