I feel like I’ve gotten at least maybe a little better grip on my reading habits. Since I am more focused on reading even though it is focused on one book that is required for this six weeks. I felt that I didn’t have enough time to write my essay for the Bluest eye novel and I should have added at last one more quote in my essay but I wrote a lot of information and the essay was pretty long, so maybe I really need to cut some stuff out of the paragraphs. It really seems that I have a tendency to over write for my essays right now not only in ela but also in history since I feel like I need to cram so much into them and I have a limited amount of space to use.

I feel like reading comprehension quizzes that we are doing in collegeboard are sort of helping in the way, but it mainly the actual understanding the questions is harder, since it seems that answer A. is the right now but when you get the results the correct answer is like D. and the answer is talking about true loves kiss and the whole writing pieces the questions were for were about robots and technology.

For reading The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison it was sort of eye opening I guess. More of the different ways to write switching points of views between different narrators for a pretty famous novel and not outright stating which narrator it is and leaving the readers either confused or on a hunt to figure out how is speaking. I have to have the novel amazingly written for the different flashbacks for certain characters that are actually pretty important to the story even though how they’re flashbacks are kind of jarring for me since I was mainly listening to the novel as an audiobook. The only thing that really irritated me was like when Soaphead Churchill had the like couple of pages going over his story and his minor character just mainly pissed me off and made me hate him, even though even I try not hate every minor character and give them fair chances it mainly has to do with how he was portrayed for me is the thing I can think of the irritated me the most.

    I honestly am not sure how these skills are going to help me for the AP exam but honestly all I am hoping for is I don’t just blank out in my mind and bomb it since I basically forgot everything that was completely important for the test.

    I feel as for a critical thinker I haven’t really been the best I could have possibly been for this six weeks since Toni Morrison’s writing really scrambled up and messed with my head. Probably since I am so used to reading to certain types or maybe styles so they don’t really force my to be out of my comfort zone and make me to us my head to think deep meanings in things that probably don’t have meanings, or are never supposed to be connected in the first place and I am trying to force them to together. So I think I deserve 89 for this six weeks since I mainly feel like I should have been on my top A game and I fell so off that mark.
