Reading Survey
My life in reading has been a huge improvement. I remember reading In The Heat Of The Night and that was truly inspiring to me. I have to say Stephen King Is My Favorite Author of all times.
Growing up in Africa I never got the chances to read books or to understand it. Speaking English was also hard for me, being that I would normally speak the language that my father was speaking. In elementary school I failed my English class due to me not being able to read and I was held back a year in Africa. When I came to canada, it was much harder, I had to go to school where everyone could read, write well and speak English, which I put pressure on myself to learn everything as fast as I can and not get laughed at. In my second year of being in Canada I was able to understand English and read and write better than I ever did. In high school my reading, writing, and speaking and understanding English was on a total different level, by then I couldn't even speak my other language but I still understand it.
The best book I ever read was In The Heat Of The Night. John Ball created the best suspense and inspirational book ever in my opinion. Virgil Tibbs was truly the best black detective within a novel. The town of wells were scared of the African Americans folks. I feel that way because they knew that ones the civil war ever ended they would be in serious trouble. That night when Sam Woods found the body of the young girl in the middle of the highway, they assumed it was Virgil Tibbs because of his skin color and that he was just waiting there for his train. It was truly awful to see and that they were being racist was worst too. After all of that Mr. Tibbs eventually helped them with the crime and their opinion on the African American was changed.
Stephen King has truly inspired me as a creative minded person. He has created these thrillers and action packed novels and it just cativate his fans including me. Stephenie Meyer is also a Favorite author of mine. Simply because of the twilight saga, the best book into a movie ever written.
In conclusion I've come a long way from not being able to read, write, or speak English well to loving all of that and more. In The Heat Of The Night will always be my Favorite novel I've ever read up to this point. Stephen King and Stephenie Meyer made my high school life easier just because they keep me dreaming and believe and that's the best feeling I can ask for.
