Quarterly Reading Reflection Part A; Complexity: In General, The things that make it difficult to read a book is being able to sit and concentrate only on that book, and actually reading it to the point where you know exactly what you’re reading and what’s going on and not forgetting what you read. To me in order to stay totally glued to the book you are reading it has to be something in your genre of choice, stuff that you like to read a lot. The things that made it difficult for me during this quarter and the books that I read was he page number in the books that I read it was almost impossible to finish the books that I had in 2 weeks. What influenced my choice in books was the type of books that I was into, I liked fictional books about street life family’s that have had it all and in the end, End up with nothing at all. Part B; Reading Rate : The total of pages that I have read over the total 8 weeks that we’ve been in school is 1151 pages, the number of pages that I averaged over a weekly reading rate was 143 pages. In my opinion my average weekly reading rate to me is pretty good to me knowing that my books had so many pages. I believe that my reading habits have improved over time from my first book until now. My homework of 2 hours of reading per week has grown a bit since I began reading the book I am on now , a plan of improvement is definitely needed if I want to reach the goal of 25 books before I graduate, My plan is to try harder on finding books that attract my attention. Part C; Thematic Reflections: One theme that I pondered while reading the “Coldest Winter Ever By Sister Souljah” Was Money is the route of all evil, I think that this is one of my themes because it shows that you can do a lot with money as far as making it,

    Finding one book that intrigued Stephanie enough was all it took to make her an everyday reader. The same goes to me. When in my earlier years I hated reading. There were only two things I hated to do. Those two things were reading, and doing what someone told me to do. Hating a combination of the both you could see how the disposition with reading would subsist. It wasn’t until the summer going into middle school that I changed my ideals on the subject.…

    Fire Chapter Summary

    Each time I was about to begin the chapter people would appear out of nowhere and distract me from the reading. I was forced to constantly reread the first two pages because I was unable to digest the reading, though because of this I was able to really grasp the concept of where the chapter was going to go. In order to over come these challenges I had read most of the chapter in the late hours of the night because that is when my house is the quietest and I get the most work done. Though when I had difficulty with the text the strategy I use to overcome this was rereading until I fully understood what the author was trying to…

    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…

    bleeding

    Pressure is applied on the wound so that the blood flow slows down and eventually stops the bleeding. This is important because it will help you to lose less blood and the body will resume the normal circulation faster. It will also help the wound to become scabbed which means that the platelets in the blood become clotted to stop the bleeding. For example if Colin got a severe cut on his leg and it wouldn’t stop bleeding then you should apply pressure on the wound to stop it bleeding.…

    Rikki-Ripson Theme Essay

    The theme is the moral or life-lesson we learn from a short story. Rudyard Kipling, the author of “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,” made it obvious that the theme of this story is “greed can lead to negative consequences.” I can support this with loads of evidence. For example, the cobras were greedy, evil, and cruel, and they were punished. On the other hand, Rikki was selfless, content, and courageous, and he was rewarded. Notably, some people think “knowledge can help us prepare for the future” is the theme, but this is not true. I know I have hit the nail on the head with this story’s theme.…

    Theme- In poetry, fiction, or drama, the theme is the dominating idea in a work (Pearson 547). In Ha Jin’s An Entrepreneur’s Story, the theme seemed to be disappointment. All throughout the story the main character thought by having money, the perfect girl, and everything that came along with it would make him happy. The outcome of the situation with Manshan, his wealth, and the mother-in-law shows him that getting what he wanted didn’t make his life turn out to be any happier than he pictured (Pearson 265).…

    Although there is much I can’t recall from my early days of reading, there are some momentous flashbacks. When I was beginning elementary school my parents were very eager to introduce me to doing a great deal of reading, they wanted me to enjoy reading for a while and they succeeded. We lived within walking distance of the public library which allowed us to frequently visit the library to read and check out books. I always remembered the vast shelves of books that seemed like they never had an end. In addition to reading at the library we checked books out to bring home to read, this allowed me to read as much as I wanted to. Correspondent to the amount of reading I did, the more I enjoyed it and improved at reading.…
