Over this course i feel my reading comprehensions skills have grown and my deeper analysis of what im reading has improve as well. This has come from my fellow colleagues giving there opinions on passages we've looked over in class. Having group and full class discussions about certain writings was very beneficial to hear opinions from different perspectives.

Writing my book was a bit of a struggle at first the biggest problem was just coming up with a solid idea. I had to many things i wanted to try and couldn't really stick to just one idea. The next issue came with picking my work. Which pieces did i want to include? Which writings best fit with what i was trying to display in the book? It was a lot of fun to put together but also some work your writing changes when you know it will be viewed by others.

Through my book i wanted to encourage people to start reading more or perhaps to write there own story. Its very important to have these skills not only have them but keep them from getting rusty. Some people don't like to read or write especially teens, When actually there is no escaping it we do a form of reading and writing everyday language is all around us. Illiterate people are doomed to fail.

I decided to put some tips in my book on how to improve there own writing. I felt this would encourage others to start writing themselves some people just need the right push. I felt when i first came to the class i was one of these people I hated to read especially poetry it was much to confusing now its alot easier to understand and alot more fun to read because of it. My writing has improved and now i even do it on my own time.
