Reading

     While we have been reading Purple Hibiscus my main strategy has been to make sure that I understand whats happening. This can become a little time consuming, but since we are annotating anyway it doesn't take any longer. For me this has been making sure that I know what they are saying and what is going on to make them feel this way. Also too understand where they are at and who they are with that makes them act this certain way. It has really helped me throughout the book and I recommend it.    

     For me the most challenging part is the annotations. Trying to find they key parts that will be important for later and right down things that will help at a later date. Reading this book has defiantly improved my ability to have good annotations. Another challenge is the big words and long sentences that sometimes are in a different language. I am really enjoying reading Purple Hibiscus so far despite the challenges of reading it.
