Crank Paragraph
How I became a bookworm
My sophomore year, around April I started reading "Crank" by Ellen Hopkins. I only got somewhere around the 100th page and then stopped reading, because I was always busy with school work. we read a book in class called "Looking for Alaska", I truly enjoyed reading it, that is when I started slowly getting more interested in reading. When school ended for the summer, I had to take summer school, and for my English class I had to read a book and give a presentation over it. The book I chose to read was "The Story of My Life" By Helen Keller, before that I have not been able to finish a book I selected by my liking in almost two years.
Reading "Looking for Alaska" and "The Story of My Life" both got me more interested …show more content…
Ellen Hopkins said, "I didn't start it looking for publication, let alone expecting the book to become the phenom it has.", I found this on her website {EllenHopkins.com}. I think this quote is interesting because she did not write to get famous she wrote just to try to understand what just happened and what was happening with her life. I put this quote in this paper because when I wrote my book, my friends who read the story really enjoyed it, but I did not write it for people to enjoy or to get interested in, I just wrote for myself, because it went with everything that was going on in my life at that time and helped me get through my depression. I enjoy writing and reading about things that I choose to write or read about, once I am interested in reading or writing something I can get to a point where I do not want to stop reading or writing. If I choose to write something I can write pages and pages, same with reading, if I find an interesting enough book I can read for hours without getting bored. Also getting interested in reading I have learned to not give up on a book when the it starts out boring, it will soon get better and if it is not interesting half way through than the book is not for you. Even though Ellen Hopkins has got me more interested in reading than what I was, I still have more work I could do with reading, there are still some times where I do not read as much as I
