the JUNGLE!
Oh yes, I am serious. The Jungle. By Upton Sinclair. That infamous book that is about SLAUGHTERING INNOCENT FARM ANIMALS so they can feed the mouths of hungry slefish human beings. Now, don't get me wrong. It's a good book. I am on page 52, and so far it has been good but not soooooper entertaining. It doesnt immediately grab your attention, I would say, but just by knowing the plot line it's got to be interesting. Am I right? YES. I think the dominating literary element is probably symbols. Meaning the dead cows and pigs and such. They take up such a humongous chunk of the book already, it seems pretty clear. And the tone? I think Informative and Somber, and something else like 'Excited' or something. I don't remember all the words. Yeah. The end.

Uuuhhh READING
I like to read. Fiction. Why, you ask? Because like everyone else, I like to escape my everyday life and jump into a new, more exciting one. I like to pretend I'm not me, I like the feeling I get when I am someone else. When you are reading you can be anyone. And when you are writing you can think of who you want your readers to become.
When I start a book, it really depends on my mood for me to decide if I finish it or not. If I'm in a good, patient mood, I might finish it. Or not. I am pretty unpredictable at my best. The first pages are always the most boring, so it's the hardest part to get through. And never, ever read a book without getting feedback about it from at least one article or person you trust. If I havent got any feedback, good or bad, I have no faith in the book or the writer.
As for a quiet spot to read, that is inevitably impossible in my households. I have four siblings, all younger than me, and three of them are under the age of five. And even at naptime, my 11 year old brother is probably blasting pop music from his room. So therefore I have found myself able to read under unusual conditions, most of them pretty loud.
Oh yeah, and my reading style depends on the book. I'm not really sure.
WHOO! First assignment done. Over and out. Ja, nee!
