Final Blog Post


I enjoy reading during free time because it is just like a present, waiting to be opened and to see what is inside. I make time for reading in my life in any extra moments I feel tired or when I do not have homework. The biggest obstacles are many other time commitments. The best reading experience this year was during testing to make it very easy to read. Being able to choose the book important to me is very important, because most of the time I only read books that I enjoy. In the future I hope to read more books and in increasing difficulty.

Blogging is like carrying a load. The best part of blogging was being able to see how others approached it and what books they enjoyed reading to also try reading. Making my thoughts public online helps others develop their thoughts and put it out as well as showcasing who I am. In order to make blogging a more important part, allow people to freely explain what they are doing to make it not seem forced.

Freshman year was definitely new, and like exploring something new. I definitely grown as a student and changing my studying habits with a new look on school. Some challenges I faced this year that helped me was some overwhelming homework or tests that I studied for. Extracurricular activities also help shape who you are. In sophomore year I hope I continue to enjoy school and do well.

New book as semester closes

Hello Everyone!

Since I finished Of Mice and Men, I'll start by wrapping that book up and discussing a new book that I started reading.

At the ending, John Steinbeck brilliantly returns to the original beautiful scene that Lennie and George had been standing with each other at. Many subtle differences expresses the danger that might proceed.
"A silent head and beak lanced down and plucked it out by the head, and the beak swallowed the little snake while its tail waved frantically." shows the danger of the snake who was affected by forces he could not control just like Lennie.

Lennie begins to imagine about what George would say and his Aunt Clara, and brings the emotional part out of this story. When George comes back, it is very depressing, as we know something bad will happen, but George passes it off and acts happy and forgiving.

When George makes the necessary decision, we know that it was his only option, as that would be totally out of character otherwise. In this cruel world where their dreams never came true, none of the other workers even understand why he did this except Slim.

Also, I began reading the Lord of the Flies. This discusses a plot where many British boys are stranded on an island.
The author uses body shapes to show different representations of characters into our society. Ominously the author describes the horrors of society coming out.
