This is way more than usual because usually, I do the minimum requirement but nothing beyond that. However, this six weeks I really liked the books I was reading so I spent a lot more time reading at home or reading during musical rehearsal when I was not on stage. This marking period I also made reading more of a priority. I tried to read at least twenty minutes a night this is far more than I usually read because I'm beginning to enjoy reading again. I think I'm growing as a reading because now I look forward to reading compared to before when I dreaded reading. I also think I have grown as a reader because I normally don't read two books at a time but I read Surfacing by Margaret Atwood and Turtles All The Way Down by John Green. Not only did I read them both at the same I understood them both and knew what has happened. Although reading two books at a time is not something I'm going to do all the time I think it was beneficial experience because it allowed me to find a connection between the two novels which I thought was very interesting because the genre of the books was different and so was the level of depth beneath the words. Margaret Atwood was a literary fiction book and John Green's was a young adult novel. I also read half of Asking For It this marking period. I really enjoyed Turtles All The Way Down and Asking For It. Turtles All The Way Down was a good experience because I love the way John Green uses technology and quotes in his book.I also loved how John Green portrayed mental illness in his books because I think he used an accurate description of OCD because it is something he struggles with personally. I liked " Asking For It because it has a good plot along with a more mature topic. However, I struggled a little bit when reading "Surfacing" because there was a lot of allegory happening at the end of the book that I did not fully understand the first time and ended up having to spark note it in order to understand it. As the tri continues I want to continue to read different kinds of books and read more than just in school. I also want to keep my original goal of reading 1000 pages in one tri. Overall I look forward to SSR throughout the rest of the tri.

Still a few convention errors like italics, paragraphs, and grammar.
