This is the final assignment and its about a week late, whoops. Between trying to get to a computer and just flat out forgetting to blog, its not my best. I am currently reading Flags of Our Fathers. Anyway this weeks assignment is to...
1.) Talk about your experiences with this project.
2.) Talk about your future with books.
3.) List your accomplishment... names of the books you've read... total time this week... and the grand total time.
 So here is mine...
1.)I really enjoyed this project. i never had time to read before this project and I still don't. This project taught me how to make time, basically by allowing me to read what i wanted to. I also learned a lot from the books I have read. Most teachers have you read things that most likely don't interest you, so students wont typically put in a lot of effort to understand what they are reading. That was defiantly my problem. Finally this project made me make reading for enjoyment a part of my daily routine. It was not hard to adjust, once I finish my homework, I read until i fall asleep with whatever book Im reading in my hands. It doesn't take any extra energy or time from your day and i would always encourage anyone i talk with just to try and read for fun.
2.) I think my future with books will be the same as it is now. I will continue to read at night, and hopefully more as I have the opportunity.
3.) ~ Black Hearts
      ~ The Forgotten Solider


Weeks Time:  5 HOURS
TOTAL: 51 and 7 minutes

    This weeks assignment was to describe your reading experiences before this project.  I am not going to lie, before this project i didn't really make time for reading. I only read what I had to and rarely liked it. I really enjoyed this project, exactly for that reason. I got to read whatever i wanted to and it forced me to make time for it. This week i finished my second book, The Unknown Solider, which consists of 465 pages. This was a very emotional and moving book, and i would suggest it to anyone who has a strong stomach. 


This week I read 4 hours.
Total Time:  46 hours and 7 minutes

This weeks assignment was to make two inferences about what the book you are reading.

1.) WIK ~ The Soviet Union was attacked by Germany, when Hitler realized he could not invade England without control of the air, he invaded Russia, and at least 20,000,000 Soviets were killed.
+ WIR on the first day Guy witnesses four men shot in front of him within the first half hour of war, and he will later learn this s a slow rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 WII~ This war may have been the worst the world has ever seen. The only war in our country's history that had more casualty's then WW2 was the civil war, but that would be expected when both sides belong to the same country.

2.) WIK~ Everyday common people fought side by side with trained soldiers, everyone was involved.
+ WIR~ Guy a German foot solider grows very close with common farmers who are now fighting with him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WII~ In this war it didn't matter if you were a farmer, a lawyer, or a regular trained solider, you both worked together and just tried to pull through.

Time read this week: 4 hrs & 25 minutes
Total time read: 42 hrs & 7 minutes
