The approach to the reading of the novel would be varied. It is anticipated that the class study would begin with a shared reading of the opening chapter to foster students' interest. A prepared reading by the teacher is usually much more involving than a hesitant reading-around-the-class activity (Sykes, n.d.). The aim is to motivate each student to read the

Overall the book was a good read and touched on some various topics that are discussed in our class.

Holm. It was a book far beyond my reading level, but the cover was pretty--which justified my reading it. It was the biggest book I had ever picked up. Although I struggled to finish the novel, it became the source of my realization. I connected with Penny--the main character--in a way that was foreign to me. Penny and I were both from culturally diverse backgrounds, she struggled with acceptance in the same way that I was coming to terms with. This newfound love for reading gave me a new insight. I realized that being ashamed of who I was and how I spoke limited my potential. From that moment, I decided to actively engage in my education. No longer would I be the girl that would politely decline to read out loud. No longer would I be the girl who was laughed

I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested

3.) When I was choosing a book, I was in utter confusion. I wasn 't a reader and I didn 't know where to look. Luckily, however, Professor Yanmei was able to show me this amazing book!

During the first week of the school, two professors had given her assignments to read a chapter before she came to the next class. That day, she had a couple of hours before she headed out to volunteer work that she signed up for at church, so she decided to go to the library after class and finish the assignments. She went to the front desk at the library, and asked for the two reserved textbooks. The person behind the desk, informed Traci, that students are allowed to check out one book at a time. Fair enough she thought, and she checked out a text book, found an empty table, sat down, and opened up the chapter that she wanted to read. Guess what? Her jaw dropped, because that chapter had 32 pages. It may not be a lot for many students, but knowing that

In every culture, habits involving food such as, choosing, cooking, and eating, play a significant role. Eating is understood and communicated in various symbolic ways because it is never a purely biological activity. The consumption of food is always infused with meaning. People with adequate food resources use food not only as a means for survival but a means for communication. Food is symbolic throughout the world in modern human history. The Boston Tea Party was about taxes, not tea. The turkey on Thanksgivings symbolizes the celebration between the Pilgrims and Native Americans. The Great Depression is symbolized with pictures of bread lines and people selling apples.

Throughout the history of the entire world, things have constantly been changing. Societies have been created and flourished, humans evolved, new technologies have been created, and new theories discovered.

Organisms can get an illness at any moment in their lives from many different causes. Some illnesses cannot be cured, can cause unbearable symptoms or pain, and can cause you to lose your life, such as cancer. If a person is terminally ill, their illness will be the cause of their death no matter how much treatment is received.
