1. I think this book was really interesting and I enjoyed reading it. Once I started reading a page it was kinda hard to stop reading because you want to know more. I think the narration was a bit confusing at times because you didn't know who was talking at first but then realize it later. I think the most challenging thing about reading the book over the 6 weeks was catching up on the reading because I had to read so many pages all at once and if I didn't finish it kept adding on to the pages I needed to read. It's not that I didn't want to read but work got in the way. I think the most rewarding thing about it is that I finally understand each character and the different events that went on throughout the book.
2. I think this book is an example of good literature because it shows the narrator as not just a "regular boring person" reading the story, the narrator uses speech just like how teenagers our age speak. I thought that was very unique and related to the readers.
3. I feel like I did an ok job on my essay 1. I didn't understand it at first and once I figured out my theme and found cultural references to connect with my theme, I put the pieces together. I guess the most challenging part of the essay is figuring out why a superhero Oscar mentioned in the book was so important, or why that superhero related to the other characters. What was rewarding about it is that I talked about the power of feminine sexuality and I REALLY enjoyed writing about that.

idea draft essay 1
Write 2-3 paragraphs about which 'cultural reference' you want to research more about for Essay 1. Without doing any major research yet, what do you know about your topic? What experience do you have with this 'context?' If you don't know anything yet, what do you want to know?
Cultural Reference: Marvel
The cultural reference I want to do more research about it about Marvel because I watch a lot of Marvel movies and always love them. I have been watching the movies they make for as long as I can remember. Although I do watch all of the Marvel movies that come out in theaters, I never really read any of the comic books. I know that they started with comic books and most of them are based off of superheroes. These superheroes contain powers and usually end up saving their world. There are always villains and a reason why the superheroes are fighting.
