0540 extensive reading summer 2006

Another blog about school, huh!?

Yeah, another blog about school! In this extensive reading course we are to read "Having Our Say" book as the study material.

Why specifically this book?
The Delany sisters are over 100 years old, and as they have witnessed American History changes during a century, and are able to memorize to tell and describe these historical events. Even they are over 100 years, they have a sense of humor spicing their stories with a witty flavor and yet spirited and energetic human beings.

The author of this book, Amy Hearth, wrote an article in New York Times as an assignment where she introduced the Delany sisters to the public for the first time. Upon publishing this article, many requests from all over the country to have the ladies interviewed on T.V or have them in kids school and other suggestions were declined by the Delany sisters. However, later a publisher who thought a book is worth to be written about these two ladies offered Amy to write the book, hence it was written.

am not supposed to bore you with what i've read in this book, so i'll later tell you how do i find especially that am not a fund for biography type books.

A certain aspect of this book is that it reminds me of my lovely grandma. Funny that i told Sara about this and she told my grandma back at home, today, Sara told me that my grandma was happy and sends me three kisses :) it made me feel HaPpY :)

God bless you all and your loved ones :)

Finito.
