RR#1

Just got done with are reading homework and it left me a little confused. In the opening paragraph it talks about Marina going to a prison for speaking out against some regime in her science class. Then it goes on talking about when she got and where she went as well as with whom. Then when I got to the next paragraph I was confused on what the story was about. She started talking about her and her mother’s relationship and how they interacted with one another on a daily basses. Still leaving me wondering what exactly the story was about. As I read on and she stated to talk about reading all the time and the books saving her and her mother relationship. I started to get some Ideal of what the story was about. Reading even further I got it the story to me was about her love for reading as a child. When I got done with the story I found myself going back to read it again. It kind of jumped around had me going in one direction then a sharp left and I was somewhere else. She gave details that I did not think was keeping to the story. It made me feel like she was trying to give me too much information. Why would she talk about where her father was working and what he did? Why would she feel the need to bring up the death of her grandmother? Thought she could have gave more detail in other places like talking about the book store and more detail on her feeling she got when she first interned. It was just all over the place for me it was kind of disappointing as well. The bingeing had me getting into to the story wanted to know more about her time in the prison. The end had me a little bit as well found myself getting bake into the story wanted to hear what she had to say about the old man in the book store. Left me kind of in the dark thought she could of went into more detail about their relationship with him. She said that she started going there every week. I would think that they would have some kind of relationship with him that she could have talked about. After all he opened the door wide open for her to enjoy the books that she loved so much.
