Zoe,
You essay sounds a lot better! I was impressed with what you did with it. I want to, however, offer you a few suggestions, and they are below for your review. Also, allow you essay to be reviewed by a few of the others as well -- such as Kayla and Kevin -- they both offer excellent suggestions as well. I think that it will be far better to have it reviewed by more than one person.
The turning point in my reading career occurred sometime during the second grade, when I caught a cold, and had to stay home from school. That first
sick afternoon, my dad announced that he was going to read
To Kill A Mockingbird out loud to me. I remember feeling apprehensive, quite skeptical at the possibility of enjoying any book my father would suggest.
Since then, I've read an immense number of books, and studied countless authors. Right now, Henry Miller has caught my attention. What a strange,
individual individualistic man- what a writer he was!
I have been Recently, I was
airbourne on an airplane, reading
Tropic of Cancer. And I only mention Miller here because, in reading his works, I realized that I speak of my favorite books and authors not as a fan, but as a reader in absolute and unwavering awe. Books are not books to me- books are manifestations of beauty, the beauty a writer found, realized, and created.
The world offers a limitless
suppply supply of things
to be inpsired by by which to be inspired
I am given the invitation to write
. --
To to
translate languages, to describe the earth in infinite ways, and to give back to the world by doing so.
please help, I need to submit this by the end of the week =(
As I mentioned above, it might behoove you to have the essay reviewed by a few of the others, as well. The more, the better, actually. Good Luck, Zoe!
