My Reading Journey

I was just a toddler when I learnt how to read, I remember reading all the Dr. Seuss books. I enjoyed reading as a child. Just like many kids in the United States I learnt how to read in the first grade I remember learning the alphabet in kindergarden and in first grade putting them the putting them together to make word, which later I learnt how to read.
      As I grew up I started to develop a dislike for reading and I only started to read the stuff I thought was important. I enjoyed reading as a child picking up books that amused me and that I thought would be wonderful but, as I got older the teachers started to push reading on to me trying to make me read every minute of the class. I always wondered why teachers pushed reading on to the students. It like they don't understand that the more you try to push on to us we're not going to like it. I dislike reading unless I'm doing it on my own which means without it being told to.
      I love mystery, fantasy, and adventure books, I just get lost in the words of the book and it feels like I'm actually apart of the book. I never really understood the poems or books teacher had us try to make us read, the books they read in their teen years. I really don't find these books interesting that's why I read the mystery, fantasy, and adventure. The books the teachers try to have me read I just don't like the type of genre they set out to be. When I learnt how to read I was just a toddler and interested in all the Dr. Seuss books and picture books. Sometimes I wish I could just go back to read all the little kid books without being expected to read all these enormous books. That's "My Reading Journey."

Licoln's 2nd

Licoln created a tone of rightousness indignation by strongly expressing his feelings about slavery in the South through the speech he gave when taking the office of his second term. He didn't like the fact that people had other people doing there job for them and not getting paid for it. According to Licoln, "one- eighth of the whole population was colored slaves..... localized in the Southern part of it." Licoln was trying to get his point across by saying the North had no slaves and they felt it was wrong for the South to have another man or woman to do their labor and not get any money or anything else in return. The passage also stated, "the object for which the insurgents would rend the union, even by war;while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it." This line shows that the Union was surly willing to fight for the freedom of the slaves in the South. They felt that the South was giving injustnation to the people they kept to work for them.
