reading blog 8

I have just started reading my new book for reading called Gym Candy. So far my main character to me has too much pressure on him at a young age. At age four his father is expecting him to zig zag like he is a professional athlete. From the title gym candy seems like steroids so I am guessing it is going to be so much pressure on the main charter to be good and follow after his father who had a great college career but didn’t work out in the pros. The main charter is probably going to be a running back one of the most ware and tare positions in the game of football one major injury and he could be done for a while. This is not the main charter fault. His father has corrupted his son mind so far that even when in pain from football he still takes it and say this is what football is about. Like a mother she worries and doesn’t want to see her son get seriously hurt like her husband was but she knows that football is in his hart and he won’t stop until he has nothing left in the tank. This relates to real life society portrays that if you not a model or athlete or even a rapper or singer you are not successful because you’re not on T.V. and do not have the fancy cars and clothes that they have. People go through life trying to be the best at what they do or their parents push them to do it.

hating on the text book

Most of the time I do not get the text it is hard for me to understand. It uses it fancy words and big definitions but it does not relate to me. When told to read ahead before class so I can get an understanding before class, I usually don’t even read it because I believe that it is going to be a waste of time. You know it’s real difficult to understand when the instructor gives you different types examples that relate to you that would make since for you to understand. They have the old boring professors that wright these books and they just put you to sleep and make you not want to pick the book up. I say they need to get better books out that make since and are a little interesting because reading is starting to become absolute. Why do they take so long to get to the point? I usually never learn from the book I have to wait until the teacher or instructor teaches on it. That is bad because now that I haven’t read cannot get into the class discussion because I didn’t understand it. I know I am supposed to be in college but does it have to be so boring where it puts me to sleep. I hope they change it in the future because soon nobody will want to read there text book because it would serve no purpose have the class would fell because its more than just me who does not like text books.

Reading blog week 7

Reading Liar has had different effects on me as a reader. While reading this book sometimes I have just wanted to stop because how much they switch up the time zone. One moment they would be talking about the boy that died and the effects it is having on this girl and then it jumps to the beginning on how they first meet. This book confuses me I am a begging middle and end type of guy I do not like jumping around like that. I get into the book and get stuck on a very interesting situation and then I am in some other circumstance. The book is kind of good as you get deeper into it but it won’t go in my favorites of all time. Another thing about the book is that as I read I am on guard because I don’t want to believe here and get fooled nothing she says is the truth to me even though so far some of the stuff she has said which seem impossible she swears that it is the truth. There has been some big time lies where I have been like wow really you would lie about that. So far it is mind grasping even though it has boring parts in it, it was times where I almost closed the book because I was tired of reading it and then something out the ordinary happens and I keep reading to see what happens. I am almost done with the book and I am on the edge to see what happens.
