I am Keanisha Zurenda, and I am taking Humanities Literature. I am blogging because it is required for the course. I am a very avid reader. I read books all the time. Depending on whether the book is interesting or not determines how fast I read it. I think I am a fairly skilled reader. I read carefully and if I forget what I read then I will go back and read it. I pay more attention to novels when I read then I do poems or short story because there is more you need to remember and take in, but I pay a good amount of an attention to them all. I rarely take notes in the margins. The only time I do that is for a class I'm taking, otherwise, I don't take notes. If I don't know the meaning of a certain word I will look it up in the dictionary. This is only if I can't determine what it means by the context it is in. What I think I get out of reading is that it broadens my vocabulary and teaches me how to structure sentences. As well as, letting me escape and be alone for a while.
