Text Structure

Along the lines of "Advice Gleamed on the Path of Life" by Craig Wilson, we thought that this text had a structure of a larger message, that is back ground information, then the point is shown. The message also ends with a really strong point.The technique benefits the reader because the reader can relate with the given back ground information, which helps the reader understand better. We think that the standard is "Using different types sources to identify a common structure and theme to allow a reader to understand the text more.

Summer Reading

I chose The Night Circus as my Summer Reading book. I would rate this book 10 stars. I think this becuase Erin Morgenstern does a great job of bringing the reader into another world. She creates a universe that every reader wants to live in. A Circus is the main setting, but this is no ordinary Circus. There are countless tents that show the reader diffrent aspects of this world on every page. The two main characters are Celia and Marco, who are in a competiton against eachother, with the Circus being the venue. The overall theme of The Night Circus is if you find love, go after it.
