How I Read


  • Movie - Eager to follow rules, uniforms, everyone was white, and all guys
  • Fear factor among students, they were scared on getting called out
  • Corrupting the youth
  • We fear what we don't understand
  • We know the techniques that authors use to write their books
  • Sfumato was created to describe something that can't be described 
  • Read things you love
  • Seek to understand the things you don't love and understand
  • The value of our opinions is important and they are also a piece of evidence
  • Many authors didn't expect us to analyze their stories
  • We use tools to analyze books to understand what the meaning of it was
  • Symbolism - when we look at something we see/think something different than others and then explain what we saw later
  • Don't summarize what is already on the page
  • Loving, learning, and reading is a lifelong opportunity to gain more potential 
  • Sapere Aude - dare to be wise

I've been told that this yea...

Extemporizing- speaking off the top of your head Shrill metallic urgency - ringing of the phone gloom- designed to reflect the moon Page 16-17 : "All right, I said 'I'm g;ad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool- that's the best things a girl can be in this world, a...
