Blog #3

I have the same goal as I did last year for writing. To get an A on one major writing assignment. During my 9th grade year writing was very hard for me so I gave up on my writing but during my 10th grade year Maria pushed me to strive for my goal. I was able to get this goal by going to a majority the office hours after school during the period of the essay. I am going to try to do that again this year.

Catcher in the Rye. J.D. Salinger 

The author gave you pieces of the puzzle that you would not know until you finished the book. Once you have finished the book you see all the foreshadows that the author sneaked in that I missed when I first started reading it.  I like this because I want to be able to incorporate my ideas at the beginning and have the reader understand the theme or moral of the story at the end. I want to do this in Our People's History by putting in the idea of perseverance my grandma had in becoming a doctor and having the reader understand at the end. 

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

This book had very descriptive detail. The author made me feel like I was in the book. I was afraid to learn what happens to the boy and the man. I want to be able to make the reader feel like they are living in the story of my grandma. Having to fell the disappoint of having your dreams turned don twice. Having your goal in life shut in front of you. I also want the reader to fell the setting the same way Cormac McCarty made me me through out The Road.
