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.

Hit and Misses

     I feel like this English year went well for me. I did have some misses with the hits. So one miss I felt I had this year was the literary analysis on Lord of the Flies. I felt like the literary analysis was a miss for me because I was awful at the literary analysis, I really just found the analysis hard and confusing to me. Another miss for me was the research paper. I found the research paper to be awful because it took up all my time for homework and it was hard to do work in other classes.      I had some hits this year. I felt the personal narrative to be a hit of mine because it was a easy paper for me to write because it was based on something personal to me not, something I researched or read. Another hit for me this year where the blogs because I found them to be an easy way to twenty points and a way to improve my writing.
