Reading Response: Dear John

     This week I have read seventy-seven pages in two hours and thirty minutes. This is including my current free read, Dear John, and also the personal narratives from The Norton Field Guide of Writing. In Dear John the story has twisted because Savannah has broken up with John because she has fell in love with someone else. I think she shouldn't have written him a letter to brake up with him she should have waited to do it in person or at least call him on the phone. I can't wait to read more this week to finish the book.
     The personal narrative that we were assigned to read this week were surprisingly interesting and simple to read. I especially enjoyed the narrative about Malcom X and how his time in prison helped him learn and how to read. I want to read more of these narratives and maybe even write my own.

  2. I was also surprised by how easy the narratives were! They were also surprisingly interesting...maybe the term "literacy narrative" throws it off?

  3. The best part of the book is still to come! I totally agree with you that Savannah should have waited to tell John in person. He's already alone in the army, and now she breaks up with him over a letter??? I'd be really mad.

  4. Brittnee, please list your reading details separately, including the days you read and how much time each day, so that you provide all the details needed and can focus on response in the main part of your blog. I am glad you enjoyed the literacy narratives and are ready to think about writing your own.
