Thomas and friends
was, to me, a picture
book. One of the
earliest memories I
have of "reading."I was in preschool
during this time and
The Very Hungry
Caterpillar was one of
many popular books
that we all read.Chicka Chicka
Boom Boom
was one of the best
books I read. It too,
was like a picture book.
I was maybe 5 or 6 during
this time.I believe in the second
grade, my English teacher
had read the same book
to us as a class. I felt so
educated and ahead because
I already knew what the book was
about.My grandmother took
classes that helped her
learn to speak English.
So when she'd come home,
sometimes I'd have to trans-
late for her but this also helped
me learn and excel in Spanish
speaking.Reading became slightly
more serious because it
them became a requirement
and as I got older, I learned
the importance of reading.Some "big books" that I
thought helped boost
my reading and confidence
was Esperanza Rising and Baseball in April.My mother wanted
my sister and I to get
in the habit of reading on
our own time outside of school.
So she bought my first "adult book,"
called "A Child Called 'it.'"Received my FIRST Catholic Bible
and definitely was hard to interpret
and understand and I still have it
because it holds lots of value.Since I had received and read
A Child Called 'it,'" I was able to interpret
To Kill A Mocking Bird a little easier.
With this book, my class and I went
into to DEEP depth when it came to under-
standing the meaning of it as a whole.Stolen Innocence, a book
by Erin Merryn, was one of the
first memoirs I read. Her story
definitely opened my eyes
and has made me become so
much more aware of certain things.A Separate Peace was
a book that was very tough
for me to read and understand
as well. A lot of books that we read in
grammar school had to do with slavery
and/or the holocaust. This book
happened to be about the holocaust.The first easiest book I read
when I entered high school was
Persepolis. Was the easiest to
understand and read, and probably
the only book I actually enjoyed.Then read Othello, a Shakespeare
book. Definitely did not enjoy
that book at all. The language/writing
was hard to understand and I never
found Shakespeare books to be interesting.Currently reading Lord of the flies,
book is somewhat keeping me
engaged and entertained. Definitely have
tried on working on reading on my own
time, but it is tough.
