In this quarter, I have read the Persepolis and Naomi shihab's poem. For the book, I didnt read a lot English novel before. There are many words and sentences I can't understand, hopefully in the next quarter, I can improve. And the characters or events sometimes make me confused, sometimes I can't find the meaning of a plot. So to figure this out, I plan to do some notes when I am reading. This is a good habit for reading and many people do, I will try in the next quarter. The most challenging thing is the poetry. Sometimes it's hard for me to understand what the author says, such like in the poem of blood: "a true Arab knows how to catch a fly in his hand." I can't realize that it can show the relationship between Arab and nature. And although I have idea, I think maybe it's wrong, maybe I need to show more ideas and discuss more in the class with others to understand the poem better.
