Past to Future Readings

     I find the books I am reading now to be similar to the ones I have read in the past but also very different. Although I do believe this could be to age, I also agree my minds knowledge has advanced a lot. Causing my mind to wonder upon a new learning experience.
     In the past I remember reading picture books, Judy Bloom‘s books, The BFG (big friendly giant), Where the Red Fern Grows, although all great enjoyable books my mind was wondered past the pictures and easy text. Now I find myself reading more about teen things, probably due to my age, about partying, drugs, alcohol, sex, and drams. These are more of the type of books that interest me today.
     I do see books as a learning experience, they are made to further peoples education. Not only non-fiction books but fiction books also. The “smarter kids” always seems to be reading. For example by reading books your always seeing words you don’t know. In school growing up your always taught to use the context clues to figure out the meaning of a word. When reading a book I normally notice when there is a word I do not know the definition or sometimes have even ever heard of the word. Not always but most the time I do stop my reading and reread the sentence the word is in and try to figure it out. Which is great practice to further your education. You are always reading words you don’t always know what they mean. Stopping and figuring out the word will help you remember the word if it comes up in the future.
