Writers as Readers

Question #6

My first reading teacher was Mr. Hicks at Stone-Robinson Elementary School. I remember him because he was my first school crush. He was pretty cute and young. Lol. He taught 3rd grade reading and I read my first Harry Potter book with him, which was Prisoner of Azkaban.

Question #1

When I read, I can concentrate better when it is quiet, but not too quiet with too boring of a story, or I will surely fall asleep.

Quesstion #11

^The reader in my head^

When I write, I try to envision the reader. I will sometimes get lost and forget about them, but in the end I have added so much voice into the story that the reader can follow the events pretty well. I think that people my age would enjoy my writing. No, but it can help me form my sentenses in a clearer manner, so that the reader, in my mind, can follow it easily. I write things that no one will see or read by having a mini-Dezi in my head reading it as I write to make sure that later on at least I will be able to read it over again.

Question #9

 When I finished reading a short novel or a short non-fiction piece, I am sad because I feel like they have left me with not enough information or story line to fulfill me.

 When I finshed reading a long book, such as Twilight or Harry Potter, I feel drained and out of energy, like I was running to get through the book.

Question # 10

I think that if you are a parent prohibiting your child from reading certain fiction novels that you have not taught your child the difference between fiction and non-fiction. And, so what if it has themes that "glorify the occult", if a child is interested in the occult after reading, then why not let them expand their knowledge a little bit more and add more information to the next book report they do for school. I mean, COME ON!
