Purple Hibiscus Reading Response

    In the book Purple Hibiscus, there is a lot going on with Kambili coming home from her aunts house to her Dad beating her because she painted a photo of her late grandfather. I really like how the author showed how Aunt Ifeoma changed Kambili and Jaja. The aunt changed them by showing the fun and a loving personality which they did not get from home. Jaja and Kambili did not receive love from their parents because their Dad is very religious and there Mom is scared to love them because she is scared to the her husbands response.
    Father Amadi is the first person we see Kambili really have a "crush" on. Kambili starts showing signs of like Father Amadi after she went to the stadium with him. This is also a crucial shift in us meeting Kamibil as readers because this is the first time she shows real emotion. Kambili shows emotion again whenever her grandfather passed away which was surprising to me.

Story in the Summer Week Two

I was at my house with my friend Ben. Ben and I decided to go outside and play basketball. We decided to play horse. It was a close game but I beat Ben in the game even though Ben is a lot better then me at basketball. Ben was really angry because I won by making a shot that I probably I would never make again.  Ben and I then decided to play a one on one game to twenty-one. I went up twelve to four then Ben started to make a comeback and had the game within four points. I then hit a three in which put me up on Ben fifteen to eight. I eventually one the game twenty-one to seventeen. I was happy because I usually never beat Ben in basketball because he has played it a lot longer then I did.

Strengths and Challenges

     One of my strengths is that I can make personal connections within my writing. This strength helped me in my personal narrative and connect my life. Another strength of mine is being able to write short response to a topic. This strength helps me in other classes besides English because I use this strength in history.       One of my challenges is that I am awful with grammar. I tried to fix this challenge over the year and it improved a little bit, but I still had to practice on it and use Grammarly a lot. Another challenge of mine was researching a topic then writing about it. I really had trouble with the research project because of this challenge

As you get older what have you found success in?

     I found success in multiple things as I got older. One subject in school I have found success in is Social Studies. I think I found success in Social Studies because I find it interesting and like learning the subject. I also found success in running cross country. When I started cross country in seventh grade I was awful at it. In eight grade I wasn't much better. But now I am breaking 11:56 in the two mile and on the ninth grade and under team. Cross country has made me a great person and I hope I do it throughout my whole high school year.     Another thing I found success in is lacrosse. Lacrosse is a really challenging sport and that what I like about it. Lacrosse always challenges me to do my best. I have found success in this by being on a varsity team and being on a select lacrosse team. These things are some of the things I have found success in.
