Reading Next Book

        I agree with the statement "Ambition is a positive, desirable trait in a person."Ambition is the will to accomplish a goal. If someone is trying to accomplish a goal, it is hard to think of that as not positive trait in someone. Unless, the person is not trying very hard. Or the goal is something very bad. Overall, I strongly agree.
        For this statement I agree and don't agree with it, "Women are more compassionate and less violent than men." An example of this is that men make up most of our military. That is because girls don't normally like violence. This obviously isn't always true though. There are plenty of women in the military.

Hits and Misses

        My best writing this year by far is the blog post that are free post. I am good at this because I can write stuff that I am really good at. For an example one thing I know a lot about is sports. I can write about many different teams and stuff that happened. Also, I can write about my sports experiences. With all of this, that means that I can also write a lot more that usual.
        My worst writing this year was the writing where we had to describe story in great detail. I thought that I had enough detail, but it needed a lot more. It was a fun writing, I just wasn't good at it. Also it was my worst grade on that paper. It was also a hard paper to get it to the required length.

Prompt

       My prompt was, "What places do you remember fondly from childhood?" As a child I remember many things and places that I have seen. But the best one of all has to be the Daytona 500. My dad, grandpa, and I all go to Daytona, Florida, to see the nascar race every year. It is kind of hard to not remember a stadium that can hold thirteen Tiger Stadiums in it. I loved racing ever since my dad has been taking me. We still go till this day.
       This is such a big event that every year we can only get a hotel an hour away from the stadium. The stands are sold out every year with 100,000 people coming. The track is 2 miles, so there is only stands by the start- finish line. The Daytona 500 was places that I remember most fondly of from childhood.

Strategies for Purple Hibiscus

       My strategy for Purple Hibiscus was to annotate. I would try and get one to two underlined important parts of the page. Then I would write a caption of why I underlined. That is what I did for the first two bread and butter assignments, now I do the reading responses. Annotating for every single page gets very time consuming. A challenge that I am finding is the time that it takes for me to read very night, so that is the main reason that I switched. 
      Now since I am doing the reading responses I read the chapters still annotating, but with only underlined parts every couple of pages for the really important parts. Since we are finishing the book on Tuesday, we won't be able to to this. But I think for the next book we should not have a chapter due, so people can catch up on reading. I couldn't read a chapter one day in the middle of the week because of homework and it was so hard to come back from that.
