    think it’s not good. Some concepts that were picked out were writer’s voice‚ the reading response‚ and word complexity. The author’s voice in the reading‚ overall gives the reader a shocking factor and makes me think more. There was a moment in the reading were it was very abrupt. “I was lying. What I actually wish for her is failure.” (Caroll).

    Question 3 what reading have you enjoyed most in the past year and why? The reading I have enjoyed the most in the past year is ‘To kill a mocking bird’ by Harper Lee.
