   I have many strengths and weaknesses in reading. My strengths are I am able to read in a good amount of time in order to leave enough time to answer my questions. I am now able to block out any words that are giving me complications which makes me lose time. Also, when I am reading I make sure that I underline anything that stands out and/or important in what I am reading. My weaknesses are that I am not always able to comprehend what I am reading which makes it hard for me to answer the following questions.

  When I read it gives me an opportunity to explore another world like a kids imagination. Reading helps me expand my vocabulary helping me to use the text to find the meaning of words I do not know. As I increase the level of my reading it gets easier for me to understand sometimes.

   My passions are to be able to understand Shakespeare or any college level book without me getting upset cause I am getting tongue tied because of the order of the words. I want to be able to go through literature/language tests with a breeze. All of that is what I hate that I cannot do. I hate that I struggle. I hate that I give up while doing the tests because I get scared of one question.

Questions anyone

Yesterday we were to make our own questions pertaining what we read in the Pardoners tale. Today we used those same questions to and each group was to answer the question and which ever question was the best was correct. I don’t really have confidence in that because i don’t know how to word things which makes its look wrong but could be possibly be right. The test we will do Friday will probably help me improve on what i am stumbling on.

Senior projects

Today in class we went to the library to get our book for our senior project and then we came back to class to read The Dream. The book I chose was The Blind Assassin which is about a woman whose sister killed her self and the her husband ended up dead on a sail boat which they are now investigate. The book is FICTIONAL and then she meets a lover in a back street room INTERESTING. The poem The Dream was about how this man thinks of this woman whom he is madly in love with but can only get her in his dream. This poem can relate to many high school crushes your always scared to talk to to them but when you dream at night anything is possible your no longer scared and you now have them all to yourself. I have went through this my 10th grade year i was falling for someone who i could never have but in my dream they were mine but the reality hit and i knew i could no longer live and that dream and i had to realize what was really going on.

Canterbury tales

Today in class we started the Canterbury Tales. While reading the general prologue I really didn’t get it as much as i think i should’ve which made me tune out in some parts. As we were reading about the knight and his son i realized that the language they used back then are somewhat similar to out if you put it in the correct terminology. As we were reading the wife of bath tale we were asked “What do women desire the most?” For me it’s food that’s was makes me happy i don’t wish to be in control of my husband or spouse but don’t get me wrong they are just finna run over me i will have some authority i just don’t wish to feel like the man over the relationship the one with the pants on. Overall today was a pretty good day in Ap literature.
