My interest in reading intervention began early in my career when I was trained as a Reading Recovery teacher for FWISD.

My reading of the book thief My thoughts about the book: Reading the book has been both interesting and exiting‚ especially since I have a special interest in history.

It is quite long(540 pages)‚ but you shouldn’t let that stop you from reading it. It is worth it! The book is simply magnificent‚ and the author Markus Zusak has done a terrific job writing it.

The mood of the novel is surreal--dream-like and sometimes nightmarish. In fact‚ the dream serves as a motif that is echoed over and over in the novel. The narrator dreams that his scholarship to a black college is merely a note reading "keep this nigger boy running;" his unconscious seems to be telling him that his faith in the American Dream‚ as it applies to blacks‚ is naive and dangerous to his sanity. From that point on‚ every time the narrator seems to be on the verge of success--in college

My Love for Reading and Writing Background: My name is Qianqian Wang‚ an international student from China‚ having been in U.S.A for studying since June.

Ralph Ellison ’s Invisible Man yields one article by Caffilene Allen‚ of Georgia State University‚ in Literature and Psychology in 1995. Thus‚ further study of this subject seems warranted. As Allen points out‚ "Purely psychoanalytic interpretations of Invisible Man are rare‚ even though Ellison clearly threads the theories of at least Freud throughout his novel."(2) Because of the rarity of psychoanalytic critiques of Invisible Man‚ this paper will examine the character of the invisible man in the Prologue

review of “Me and My Reading Profile: A Tool for Assessing Early Reading Motivation” by Barbara A. Marinak‚ Jacquelynn B. Malloy‚ Linda B. Gambrell‚ and Susan A. Mazzoni (2015).
