literary interpretation

A Midsummer Night's Dream as the classical play was the most interesting to me of the traditional pieces that we read. It seemed to have the sunniest disposition and entertaining plot. It had a little humor, drama, and romance. The graphic novel that I enjoyed the most was that of American Born Chinese. I liked seeing the three "different" stories woven together. These pieces were on the lighter side compare to Night and Maus, and therefore more enjoyable in my opinion.
I would still consider myself a fan of graphic novels...just not of the ones we read in this class. Blankets didn't really appeal to me because I am neither in love or very religious.
I think I have grown as a reader. I have learned to look more deeply into the meanings of words and wonder and infer why the author would choose certain words or descriptions. I think that I have become a better reader, and am able to pick out important information.
The graphic novels were far easier for me to get through than the plain texts. I found it most challenging to read The Bluest Eye and Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. I felt I had no real personal connection to the pieces, therefore I couldn't become as involved in the story. I'm not trying to be racist when I say that if I were black or lesbian, I may have enjoyed or understood those pieces better. Those readings did broaden my horizon slightly... making me diverge from my normal science fiction and fantasy reads.
