I could not imagine how Tim O’Brien, and the hundreds of thousands of people felt when they received their draft notices. All I can do is imagine the initial panic and disbelief. I don’t believe that I would respond calmly and just accept the fact that the military basically owned me for the duration of the Vietnam War. But I don’t know if I would have the “courage” that Tim O’Brien talks about in The Things They Carried to dodge the draft and flee to Canada. The only thing I can compare this to

As an avid reader, I’ve read a countless number of fiction stories. Everything from fantasy to romance books by famous authors, to unpublished short stories online. I’ve always held an appreciation for the talent that these writers have to bring their thoughts to life in such creative ways, but I believe that, before taking W207, I always thought the talent came naturally to these writers.

My father is an avid reader who never stops bringing books home all the time. He always gets up at 6 and then sit on our balcony, reading, until he goes to work at 7. He never showed up at dinner at a specific time, and the mornings are the only time in a whole week I had chance to meet him. But there were

is an important concept to learn while in school. However there are struggling readers everywhere in an elementary school. It is often tough for teachers to be able to identify struggling readers.

I might not be the fasterst, most attentative, or overall best reader out in the class, but I don’t need to be any of those. I’m an exceptional reader and that’s all that matters to me. By the end of this semester, I want to be an even better reader than I am now. Being a “better reader” is an abstract idea, one that can’t be measured. By “better” I mean that I want to be a faster reader, and that I want
