Commentary

What was the author trying to do in the island piece I have no clue what they were talking about I know it about an island and a monster trying to destroy the world? If I’m wrong please correct me because I have no clue what the authors was going for and the structure was to much work for a piece about and Island. Everytime I try reading the little brief what seems to be a quote if I’m not mistaken it would disappear before I got to read so I would refresh or even try looking for it to put it together.

My experience

I really enjoyed reading the first piece it made me look at reading interesting because I can now read as a reader. Even tho we have been doing it since ages now we can do it and take it on for better process. I really did enjoyed that reading like a written piece opened my mind I didn’t expect it to do to be honest I liked how he started with it. I also enjoyed the advise like he gave. The island piece I disliked it one, I really don’t know what to say about this article. All I have to say is it was confusing me and I would not like to read about it but I would like to know what it was about. So therefore I’m looking forward for my question being answered
