In school reading and out of reading are different from each other. I like in school reading better, because it pushed me to read, because I know I have to read. Out of school reading I don’t like because I get side tracked, and I stop reading the book. Out of school reading for me is hard, because I have so many distractions that keep me from reading. While in school reading keeps me focused, I nothing that will keep me from reading the book. I can read out side of school as long as the book I am reading is interesting otherwise I can’t read it. Also with in school reading I can read the book because I know that I might have a worksheet that is due, or have to take a quiz or test on it. I think that with out of school reading I could push myself to read by doing some of things that I do in school to help me read. Like I could read out of school and give myself a quiz or by having someone ask me with the book is about that I’m reading. I can also push myself to read it by telling myself I have to do it, and that if I don’t do it I can get way behind on everything that needs to be done. If I space the chapters out in my book I can also make sure that I read it so I can still in track with the number of pages I need to read.

The Borrowers Afield

In the book the Borrowers, the Borrowers lose their home and become homeless because a rat catcher. I am going to explain how they changed during from the beginning of the book to the end. In the beginning  of the book the borrowers are happy people that have everything a family they love, a house they love, and everything that you could ever ask for. They are living life like nothing can go wrong, during the middle of the book a rat catchers comes and makes them lose their home. From that point on they must learn how to adjust to being homeless and trying to find a new house. They act like they don’t ever want to try and make a new home, and they can’t do anything. The outside world is a real challenge for them because they haven’t experience it before. They have to change there attitude from thinking they are untouchable to thinking that they are touchable. They also have to deal with learning how to survive in the wild because they never had to do it, but now they have a “I can do this attitude  They have to deal with the threats of birds, moths, field mice, and even the cold weather. As they journey on they realized that the outside world of their new home is better then their old home inside a house. They also discover that the outside world of there new home is full with more drama, joy, and people they’d ever imaged.

I enjoy reading but it’s sometimes hard to read because either the book is boring or it gets my attention and then I lose my attention because either it becomes boring or either I can’t relate to the book. I have to read books that get my attention from the beinginning, or it have to be a book that I can relate to. The hate list I can’t really relate to because I have never experience anything like that before but I can image something like that happening, it also gets my attention because when I first started reading it, it made me want to keep reading on to find out what happens. I’m a strong reader and I can sit down and read a whole book in one day, I’m a little book worm, and at first it felt weird how I could just read a whole book but then I felt nice being able to read a whole book and know what happen at the end. In middle school and in high school I wasn’t able to do that because they pick the book for us and the book they picked for us wasn’t the book that I wanted to read, so when it came time to read the book I would read maybe the first and second chapters and the back of the book to see what was going one and then listen to what others was saying about the book to understand what was going on, and I would take notes so when the test came I would pass them.
