Silent Sustained Reading Analysis
The highlight of my week was being able to go to the mall on Wednesday with my mom and grandma. The highlight of my week was also reading for Silent Sustained Reading. This was my highlight of the week because I like to go to the mall especially with my mom and grandma and I haven't been reading lately because I would usually get sleepy during class. To be able to read a new book that has caught my attention feels great because the previous books I was reading during SSR were not so interesting and I didn't understand them, but to finally find a book that makes me read and catches my attention and doesn't get me bored feels good. So now I am reading for SSR. The lowlight of my week was not being able to go to a friend's house because it was

    Stung By Bethany Wiggins: Summary

    That is not really more or less than what I thought, I’m reading them on time which is what I expected, I do finish my books a little earlier than usually which is good, but I’m not surprised or disappointed in any way. I learned that while you are choosing a book, you have to choose one that is a good match. You can’t read a book that takes you five days or read a book that takes you twenty. It also can’t be to challenging, or too easy that you don’t learn any new words. It was easy for me to choose my book because most of the books were very interesting as well as having a huge library to choose from and having other forty minutes. The biggest challenge these two weeks for me personally was reading during spring break because to read twenty pages a day is a little tough if that day you can’t read at all. For example on Sunday I went to church early in the morning and then went right to my cousins house for Easter, and then go to another relatives house, which made me get to my house above 10 o’clock so I couldn’t read much during the days that were that jam…

    The Chrysalids Reading Response Analysis

    There are a few patterns that I noticed in the Chrysalids the one that really jumped out at me was the idea of “normal” the entire story is based around the idea of “normal” and gods image. It's repeated all throughout the book, Sophie gets her foot stuck in the rocks she doesn’t want her shoe to be removed because she fears David will think of her having six toes as something abnormal, in Davids house where there are no paintings on the walls instead phrases from the bible about gods divine image and if any one deviates from them they are to be known as Satin spawn, and how civilization is divided, people of gods image live a good life protected from people with deviations who live as out casts…

    Controlled Reader

    An author can only partially structure an experience in an attempt to elicit a desired response from the reader, for there are two types of readers an author must consider: the implied reader and the actual reader. The implied reader is “assumed and created by the work itself” whereas, the actual reader brings his/her own experiences to the text and thus each reader takes away a different message from a text (MacMannus, para 1). Du Bois's narrative, “A Mild Suggestion”, attempts to ensure a certain response, from the reader, by including a description of the passengers' reactions to the colored man's story, but to some degree, the effects on the reader vary depending on the experiences he or she brings to the text. However, without this final description, the message many have been interpreted even more differently, thus its inclusion is to help ensure that the intent of the colored man's story is not misconstrued. By including it, Du Bois leads his audience and structures the reaction more thoroughly. By examining the reactions of the characters in the final paragraphs while considering both Du Bois's purpose and initial characterization, it is apparent what reaction he would like the reader to have.…

    Home Field Advantage

    It started out as like any other Saturday. I woke up and drew back my Star Wars blanket to expose my feet to the cool air of my still dark room. My feet swung over the side of the bed to meet the ice rink which acted as my bedroom floor. Sure the floor was always cold, but it was better than any alarm clock when you needed to wake up. My feet continued their groggy journey to the bathroom where my daily ritual of bathing, brushing, and combing would soon begin. Halfway through brushing my teeth, I realized this may have started as an ordinary Saturday, but it definitely was not going to end that way. This was the day I was going to going to try out for little league baseball.…

    The Dark Night of the Soul The Dark Night of the Soul by Richard E Miller has been written with a main point always in mind, that reading and writing has very powerful influences people and their imagination but, the act of reading and writing is not being utilized as much in the modern world. Richard has created an essay that proves his point by taking five very different short stories and giving each a twist that helps the reader see the power of reading. As the reader is chronologically going through the essay he or she is given many possible meanings of the essay. The meaning and the relationships that the stories share are not revealed until the last page of the essay. The essay begins with the story of two distraught high scholars named Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.In this story Miller really shows us the power of imagination. The feeling of being lonely drove them to the point of becoming violent. The boys went on a rampage. Miller also uses the example of Chris McCandless to further prove his point. McCandless threw away his life and went out on a journey to live by himself in the wilderness because of the stories he read. Miller wants to transmit to us that reading and writing have very powerful influences in people and their imagination, but he believes the power of reading and writing is not being utilized as much in the modern world. Through the examples he presents in the Dark Night of the Soul he tries to show different perspectives of reading and writing so that the reader realizes that both are really powerful realities which can have a big influence in someone’s…

    Later that morning, in the sunlit dining hall, breakfast was being severed. My group sat at the table we sat at the night before. As I started to eat my tater-tots , the events from yesterday filled my mind. My group went snorkeling, both day and night, I could still feel the cold water soak my wetsuit. I remembered that Mr. Lacey, our principal, announced that the school would be leaving today because of a storm.

    Today is a special day. It’s one of those normal Sundays, bright, clear, with sunshine. I got up late in the morning and had a breakfast lunch. I went to watch football match and cheered for my schoolmates. I played basketball in the evening and won the very crucial game. I did nothing special; nevertheless, it’s a special day. I awoke to see bright sun light when the kids in Sichuan Province were suffering a disastrous earthquake. I jumped very high to make a basket when many people even have difficulty walking. I have friends to share happiness and sadness. I have a beloved mother to care about me. I am so lucky today that it’s a special day for me.…
