My Thanksgiving Break

 My Thanksgiving break was alright, I didn't really do much besides stay home and help my mom clean around the house. I wanted to go to Oakland to visit my cousins because it's been a while since we have gone, but my dad had too much work and so did my mom that we didn't end up going, also due to Covid-19. I was mainly working on late assignments for school and hanged out with my friend through out the break.

literature Analysis

 1. What drew me to the book, but precisely to the Harry Potter series was actually my 6th grade teacher Mrs.Carmona. She recommended me to start reading the series because she saw that I was struggling to find something good to read. I just hoped to experience some type of enjoyment while reading the book and I wanted feel like I'm actually in the book in some way, but mainly I wanted the books to keep me thinking about "what's going to happen next", which will make me actually want to finish the book.

2. What kept me reading after the first ten pages of the Harry Potter series, was the fact that I kept wondering what was going to happen next further in the book for example I wanted to know what was  going to happen to Harry when they had discovered about his magical powers. I actually felt that I was in the book in a way, I ended up stopping during the 3rd book of the series, but watched the movies that went along with them.

3. When reading I like to be in a quiet place to better comprehend what's going on in the book. Also when reading I like reading out loud because the story sticks better to me that way, but during school I read in my head. I don't mind where I could be reading as long as it's a quiet place and either I'm sitting down or laying down.

2020 Presidential Election

    Just today it was announced that Joe Bidden won the 2020 presidential election, I personally was voting for Joe Bidden to win though I'am underage to be able to vote. I think that Joe Bidden will actually make good changes for a change to make America a better place, there is a lot of riots going around because of Donald Trump losing.

WHY I CHOOSE WHAT I CHOOSE

 I choose "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" by J.K. Rowling as a fun book to read because I already read the 1st two books of the series and I loved the series, so I want to keep reading the series till I finish it.

HOW WE READ!!

 Reading is supposed to be fun, but sometimes reading for school is a challenge. Here are four ways we can have more fun reading and do it better at the same time.

1. I feel that a way for reading to be fun for school and do better at the same time, would be by us students not having a certain date to finish the book by, which will allow us students to not have a lot of pressure on us while reading.

2. Another reason to make reading fun and better for school would be by letting us choose our own books when time to choose books.

3. By us not having a lot of homework assignments, we actually might like to read and do it better without pressure, wondering if we have time to complete all assignments.

4. The last way I think that reading can become fun and much better at school would be by teachers allowing us to choose any book we want. At times, teachers only allow us students to pick a certain type of book and certain Lexile the book has to have in order for us to read the book, which can make us not want to read the book as much.
