Well, I'm not really sure about what I'm going to write about for this literacy narrative, and my mind is drawing a blank right now. I mean, if I read a really well- written, entertaining, fun, and amazing book I'll usually end up thinking about different stories that I could write for fun or something, I don't really know, but it usually centers around some part of the book I read, whether it be character personality, looks, or location. I don't know why, but I do. So maybe writing isn't my best option...
Maybe for reading I could do something like how my whole family at home reads and how my dad would read to me for a long time at night when I was younger and how that got me to like reading more than if I weren't hoping to see what the next night and few more chapters would bring in the Nancy Drew, mostly, or sometimes Indiana Jones books, whatever they may be. I would think about what was going to happen in that book and then, when we finished that one, he would take me to the library and I would go into the childrens' section and grab 2 or 3 different books in that series, not necessarily in order, and go back to the front where my dad would be making his way to the check out counter as I did that. I remember how my dad would make his way up the stairs and read a while and, when I was asleep, turn off the lights and go downstairs and I would at times wake up when he had made his way downstairs and hear his chair creak as he sat down and went to the kitchen or where ever he went. I think it influenced my reading because if he didn't read to me, even when I knew how to read, it gave me something to look forward to each night that involved books, and it helped me sleep, so it was all good:) But it's not really a short event/scene, so there's that issue... but I don't know... Maybe it could work, I'm not sure...
Well thanks for putting up with this brainstorming:)
