Three Best Reading Responses

Humanity Is A Dream
I found Johana's blog very interesting. This is because she gives lots of opinions about what she thinks about books, as well as movies that go along with it. I liked her post about Percy Jackson, and how the movie she saw about it changed her point of view on how she saw the characters and how she saw them in her head. She said that she enjoyed this , because she didn't have to guess what they looked like for herself.

Jasmine Pachceo
Jasmine is really good at unpacking stories and poems and making them her own. Most of the time she will express her opinions and thoughts about something, while being equally factual. She does a good job also including other people's opinions, like in her post about the poem "My Papa's Waltz", she includes what other people thought about the poem when we had discussed it in class.

Hospital For A Mind
What I love about Sammie Jo's blog posts are that she never pretends to like something or is dishonest about her opinions on something. In her post "Response to a poem", she starts off her response by saying: "I find it hard to respond to poetry, mostly because I've never met a poem I've liked. I find that most of it has tried too hard to convey something, and it loses the element of mystery in art." I think that by saying these things throughout a response ora blog, you get to know a person ebtter, because you know more of what they think, and whether or not they're faking it.
