Thoughts About Class

As I have continued reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks I have gotten more interested in it.  The first chapter of the book drew my attention pretty quickly but like we talked about in class, the second chapter drug on a little bit too long and didn't hold my attention as well as the first chapter did.  Now that I have continued reading past that point I have started to get into the book and I am enjoying now more than I did before.

On another note,  I have enjoyed the writing that we have been doing in class.  I think that it helped me personally to begin by writing a poem about where I am from and then branching off of that to write a narrative about an experience in my life.  The next challenge will obviously be the paper that we will be writing about reading but overall I think that the poem helped me gather my ideas and thoughts before I wrote my narrative.
