My active reading in The House on Mango Street is going very
well. I find it very interesting how she tells the story of everyone who has or
had lived on Mango Street. When reading I like how she tells the story as if
you were right by her when the event are going on she gives you a picture of
the family’s and what they were/are going through. What I don’t really care for
when reading is the fact that the author Sandra Cisneros makes her stories so
short and leaves you wanting to know more about the characters. What I marked
in my reading was on page 30 last paragraph, when she was talking about the
lady who had so many kids she didn’t know what to do with them. It made me
picture all the things the kids are doing and how even if they would get hurt
they would be okay. They never got in trouble it just made me laugh. The author made you see that the kids are out
of control.
The book that I enjoy reading right now is a long way
gone. It’s more of an intense
reading about a boys struggles. Even though we are only on chapter 10 we have
seen so much of this young man’s struggle on life and how he wants to overcome
all odds and make it through it and become free. I feel like something bad may
happen in the book how he is writing his chapters, that makes me want to read
on and find out what will happen to Ishmael later on in the book.
I also like that story and if i was their mother i would have bent them over my knee and wore their back side out. To teach them a lesson about respect and discipline.
ReplyDeleteI also like how she tells the story of everyone that lives there, it makes me feel like im apart of the neighborhood
