The first of my blog entries; lets make this exciting!
The essay The Dancer in Me was very interesting to read all together. The part that really struck me though is when Divya said that her instructor, Ramaa Aunty, was intimidating: "I was nervous my first day because she was very intimidating." I immediately thought of my ninth grade english teacher who was very intimidating to talk to at first. I felt exactly the same as she my first day of classes. This quote, reminding me of my teacher, got me into thinking about how I wanted to write about the way he helped me grow as a writer and thinker.
In the McGraw-Hill Guide about Reading actively, the questions that the book said we should be asking while reading are really good for anyone to use. The question that I always think about is, "What is the writer's thesis or main point?" This question is helpful for everything that we read, whether it's a newspaper article, a novel, a play, or a biography, the author always has a some kind of message they want to get across. With my upcoming project I hope to be able to convey the right emotions and messages across to you as a reader.
