Freewrite Reading

   I think it is very important to read a vast majority of different genres. I read genres such as Non-fiction, Fiction, Biography's and textbooks. It is necessary to read each genre with a different lens. When reading Fiction I am both enjoying the fantasy and the creative side, as well as looking for the moral message from the story. I am reading it with playful and curious perspective. For example, as I read A Clockwork Orange, I was excitingly following the story as well as learning from the protagonists mistakes. I read it in this way so I can enjoy myself while learning from the novel.  When I read Non-fiction, I am reading it with more of a serious perceptive. In this sense I am focusing on learning the information from it. That is similar with how I read textbooks, except I am even more serious with these, and try and memorize the information instead of gradually learn it. I have to do this , because school requires memorization for assessments. When I read Biography's I am reading it with a students perspective, attempting to follow the story while soaking in all of the authors information and lessons. Thus, allowing me to learn his or her story.

     I hope to expand my capabilities as a reader. Most importantly, I want to become a faster reader. I am a slow reader, and I would be able to read and learn more if I had a quicker pace. I also want to improve my analysis while reading skills. While I am capable of analyzing novels after I read them, I struggle to analyze and read at the same time. I want to improve on that skill so I can have deeper understandings of the novels I read.
