Reading Response

We have been getting a lot of new magazines lately, so I haven't been very focused on my actual reading book except for time in class that Dr. D gives us. Also I've been reading a lot in the sports section of the newspaper and I read a poem that I love that a friend suggested.

There are a bunch of new news in the world. I read the People magazines, "The Little Blue Envelope", the poem ToThis Day By: Shane Koyczan, and the literacy narratives. People magazines are just fun to read and I like to see what is happening with famous people. I'm about to stop reading "The Little Blue Envelope" because I'm not really following it, so I think I'm going to go to Barns n' Noble so I can get a book that interests me.

The poem "To this Day" By: Shane Koyczan is probably the most life changing poem I've ever read. My friend at camp has it memorized, so one night he came out to the dock and he started saying it. The poem literally was a life changing poem. I try to read it every day just to be sure I make the right decisions.

The literacy narratives were actually a lot more interesting than I expected them to be. I kind of realized that I like to read stuff like that. "Always Living in Spanish" narrative was really interesting, but I also felt bad for her because all her family had died and she didnt really have anyone left. The second narrative I read is called "Literacy Behind Bars" was also really interesting because he was talking about how he was living in prison and giving us his point of view and how he tries not to see it as prison and also with him reading all the time he has to hide from the guards when he reads. It was cool to see what he had to say.
