History of Reading

Alberto Manguel starts off his book with his early experience with reading. This immediately made me think of the upcoming assignment we have on our personal experience with English, reading, and writing. I started brainstorming about my reading experience as soon as the assignment was presented. Oddly enough, Manguel made a point similar to one of mine. His feeling of de ja vu that he speaks of is something I am familiar with. He says that "experience came to me first through books". I've been dealing with that feeling my entire life because I tend to let myself become absorbed by books and often think of the experiences I read about as experiences of my own.

 I am Morgan Williams. I spent my entire life fighting my inevitable destiny: becoming an English major just like every one else in my family. Finally, I gave in. Now I'm trying to fight becoming an English teacher just like every one else in my family, but now I'm thinking that I should just give in and accept my fate. I don't want to deal with annoying high school kids who have attitudes and won't read their assignments, but I will. Anyway, beyond this internal struggle I face daily, I deal with being a 21 year old college student on the five year college plan. I just got a puppy a few days ago. Her name is Oscar Jane Shenzi Wilde. I love being an English major with you. Be my friend.
