Reflective Reading Blog Post

In this blog post I analyzed the situation at hand of where I was reading. Using quotes from the book I talked about what was happening and added my personal thoughts and feelings to show how I reacted to the situation in the book. The first quote shows how they described the feel of what was happening and to give a visual as well as a hearing of what that character did and what the result was because of it.

Goals I have for myself is to get a deeper understanding of what the author tries to convey and
instead of reading for fun and skimming the book actually focus on what word order or diction and syntax is included. What figurative language is used to present the information given in the book to get a better meaning and understanding of why the author chose to put that specific piece of text into that area. My goals as far as continuing to read is always. I love reading. I've read since i was in Kindergarten, very night every day. My goal of reading is to read every book that was written by certain authors by the end of high school. In writing I would like to improve on my overall skills. Adding figurative language, diction, syntax more and to better give a better understanding of what I am writing about. Learning more about what I can do to improve my writing will help me broaden my skills and abilities to write papers, essays and other assignments. With my reading I want to expand and reach into different hats and pick out new genres/ books to read and try something new instead of reading the same genre and books over and over and over again.
