For this week’s reading journal‚ I have chosen to write about the three readings that were the most complex to discuss. Although I really enjoyed poetic memoir in Surrendering by Ocean Vuong and the story of family development in Cisneros’ Ghosts and Voices‚ I found my responses to the other three readings were more important to discuss.

Daily conversations with friends or just being born here in America. You cant really decide if someone is an American or not.
