I have many strengths as a reader and writer. One of those strengths includes my ability to conprehend advanced texts easily in a classroom setting. I am also able to draw differemt abstract meaning from the same texts when analyzing the said passage. Although these strengths are very helpful, there are also some aspects of reading that I need to improve on. This includes the speed that I read passages. Due to the fact that passages on AP exams are lengthy and timed, it is best to gain the skill of reading and comprehending in a timely manner. This way scores on these aspects of the exam are likely to be higher than a what a slow reader may make. Another weakness in reading includes the ability to breakdown older texts as quickly as it takes to breakdown contenporary texts. If I am able to master this skill, comprehension of any text overall will be easier and better.

Kamryn Barnes Mr. Rease AP Eng 11 "His life, after ten destructive years of war, had then been punctured by the sharp thorns of love." Pg. 94 5. This quote can be connected to how modern soldiers often feel like when returning home after the Bush Wars for example. Many soldiers feel that war had played a huge role in their recent divorces or relationship problems because of unhealthy coping mechanisms for PTSD or depression. War led to the puncturing of all relationships they had pre-war. 1. This quote also relates to Irony. This is because after all of the years of war and the damage it had done, it was the impact of Kien's love life that was the most damaging to him.
