40 I have changed as a reader because now I know that I am good at it. I love to read about death, suicide, rape, teenage pregnancy, teenagers with problems, juveniles in the system, mysteries and romance. I love books that make me cry. My reading level has gone up both semesters. I am proud of myself. This is the first English class that I did not have to go to the special class for. If I can read twenty books in one year, I can do anything! (Blanca)

41 This class changed me I started to read books without being told. That never happened before. All through middle school I wanted to know when it would finally click in for me, but it never did. This year I read because the stories meant something to me. (Jessica) The best book was about this chick who gets knocked up by a priest. But, she won t tell nobody who the baby-daddy is. Its all about how you are free or in your own prison cuz of your own guilt. The graphic novels helped me understand American Lit books. (Nyamuo)
