Reading Critically

This whole process of reading critically has been very interesting. It is so fun to look at a group of words, a paragraph, and just see what you can find in them. Some meanings are so deep in a story you can read it several times before you can actually understand what some things symbolize. I was really intrigued to learn about the whole seasons idea, that a time period in a year can mean so many things. It really connected back to my idea in my analysis of  "Me Talk Pretty One Day". The author talks of October, which is a fall season and fall stands for old age. My whole idea of "Me Talk Pretty One Day" is that he is searching for more fulfillment in his life at an old age, he just wants to be accepted. The whole process of reading and thinking crotical I feel will make me a better student and by learning these unseen messages in stories I can see the unhidden messages in life.
