A Voice In Progress



I have always enjoyed reading, even if I haven't always been good at it. I can remember loving getting books for Christmas, opening them immediately, and reading all day. My family would talk to me, and I wouldn't even realize they were there. The irony is that when I was in middle school, reading was my worst subject. I could never master the ridiculous multiple choice questions teachers would use to test understanding.

For my English class, we are going to be keeping a blog about what we read. I really enjoy using technology, so I am looking forward to using it to explore the books I read a bit more. I have done some blogging in the past, and using pictures and links really helped me make connections that I would never have thought of before.

"Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it." ~ Albus Dumbledore, //Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2// (film)

"Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough." ~ Scout Finch, //To Kill a Mockingbird//
