Reading is greeeeeeat!

487-517= I think that all of these stories have good details about how the person feels about the english language. In the first story I think that the writer is more conscious of what other people think of her than what she thinks of herself. It seems to me if I wanted to learn something I would learn it and not care what other people thought of me. I really like the third story of Malcolm X. To me it just proves what you can get accomplished when you put your mind to it and figure out how to do something. The fourth story is interesting to me also. My grandmother is from Kentucky and even though they speak english there they still have different sayings, even different words, that they use.

199-204= I really like to freewrite. I'm not very good on focusing on an idea that I have nothing to say about and writing a whole page on. Freewriting to me is easier because you can write whatever you want and in the end its almost always guaranteed that you will have written something down about the topic on hand. I also like lists ALOT. To me it is most satisfying to cross something off of a list. I think that when people write essays outlines are very important, you could get your whole essay done and over with before you even have it typed out!
