Literacy Narrative – Fahrenheit 451 A moment when I as a writer felt an influence towards my ability to be literate was in my tenth grade English class‚ reading the novel Fahrenheit 451.

The bad thing about colds is they are like a roller coaster you feel fine one minute and the next you feel like your “dying”. This is not how I wanted my week back from an overwhelming and stressful break. This had made me think about what we discussed about in spiritual formation about the Sabbath.
