Jeremy Johnson Journal #2
Hello my name is Jeremy Johnson. I love to play basketball as well as coach. I have played basketball since I was in third grade but also coaching has been a part of my basketball career since I was a freshman in high school in 2002. I also love to fish and travel. Most of my travel is to tropic destinations or outdoors in general yet there is so much in life I want to explore. I am easy to approach and talk to so please feel free to come to me with anything at all: life, questions, help, anything at all i love to help people when I can.
I Love to fish as you can see here
The House on Mango Street is a very different book than that I am used to reading. There are very short chapters and they are all inclusive to the title of each chapter. In the first few pages and chapters I am grasping the concept that this family has moved so much that they have to stay close knit as a family to manage everyday life. Moving so much has it tolls yet Esperenza and her family ride all of lifes waves as a team. Once we get set with the plot being on Mango Street I easily picked up that they have not been there long for the family has few friends. As mentioned early on in my post here the chapters are short but precise to the title and that is where I feel the author is at her best in writing this book and the descriptions are very on-point.
I can say that I relate to you on the fact that this is a different type of reading then other things we are used to in our life's. I feel as this book may open some of our eyes a little more to the aspect that life can be hard at times and if we think we are having bad, it could be worse, this girl had to move around a lot in life so far and has no friends at all or anyone she can tell secrets to or just talk to in general. I hope its not a sad book at the end!
ReplyDeleteHey Jeremy. I have to say that I can agree with you on the whole love of fishing and traveling side of things. Traveling because you can just go on a journey and not have a clue where your heading. The fishing, well I just enjoy fishing. It's very relaxing.
