What Kind of Reader Am I?

After taking the "What Kind of Reader Are You?"quiz it turns out that I am a geek for fiction! 
Then, runner up was the genre of drama. 
Even though, I do enjoy a good crime story that's based on a true story it also scares me. This explains why non-fiction isn't the best genre for me. I agree with "What Kind of Reader Are You?"quiz because I do love indulging in a book where I am able to travel to a different world. Personally, I believed comedy would be a runner up to fiction but drama is understandable. I say it's understandable because I love reading a book with unexpected twists and turns. Not only, does this go for books but it also goes for movies too. 

The last thing I read is Animal Farm by George Orwell. In my AP English Literature class my teacher assigned us to read a book that had literary merit. To my surprise when I went on Google and typed in "books with literary merit," Animal Farm appeared. I found it surprising because when I was younger I always heard about that book in my summer camp since that was the book the older campers were reading in the english class. As soon as I saw it I knew right away I was going to read that book. The reason why I took such quick action to read Animal Farm was because I always knew a moral of what the story was about but I wanted to know the details to what happened.

Fahrenheit 451 Main Idea: The main idea of this book was censorship. The author wanted to show the importance of reading and thinking. He did so by creating an alternate world where reading and thinking outside of what is considered a "normality" is banned.  What was your personal reaction to this reading selection?  My personal reaction was mainly comparing the story to everything that happens in society today. I would compare how literature would physically be burned by groups of people to how if we did that today media would blow up with a million different responses. Also, in today's society if anything happens in social media would be blown up with different feedback from everyone but compared tot he story if something were to happen no one would have a say about it. If you were to create notes to help you remember the most important points from your reading, what style of notes (lists, outlines, thought bubbles or webs, etc.) wou...

ANIMAL FARM  The main idea, from my perspective, of this story was to show how power can change someone even animals who fought for their right to not be ruled and mistreated. It's very ironic because the pigs were the smartest bunch out of all the animals when in reality they are seen as the messiest. Throughout the story they manipulate the rules to their advantage instead of thinking of the greater good for the animal farm.  What was your personal reaction to this reading selection?  I enjoyed this story very much because of it's relevance to inequality. I say this because I'm an advocate for equality so this book helped inspire and continue my pursuit of equality for everyone. If you were to create notes to help you remember the most important points from your reading, what style of notes (lists, outlines, thought bubbles or webs, etc.) would you use and why?  I think thought bubbles would be my preferred style of note taking for this book...
