Why are we reading these books?

Why are we reading these books? Well, I don't know exactly why or can't tell you why we are reading them. To my understanding, we all are enrolled in this reading class, we are suppose to read. Although the reading is power, it is knowledge. I enjoy reading because it allows me to learn, think, imagine and feel. I have no idea what the other books are about, but my own that i have choosen to read "Freedow Writers". In class, we were presented with three books to read, in having the privlage to make a choice I choose something I hoped to gain something from. i learn throuhout this book about a young college graduate who became a teacher in an urban district and the struggle of her students success throughout high school. The journals presented within the novel revealed ginuine feelings towards the teacher and thier lives. The teacher's passion for teaching and having thier students succeed is very inspiring for me.

In conclusion, i feel as though the reason we are reading these books is because to learn and gain inspiration in being a successful teacher in the near future. To help students at all times and never give up on kids. "To earn respect, you must give respect" Just because we are teachers and have the title doesn't mean students will respond to you with high authority, we can learn as much from them, they are young and as we get older we need to adapt.
