Overall, I have really enjoyed the readings we have done so far. My favorite would be “How to Tame a Wild Tongue.” I loved the way that she incorporated Spanish into the text. I felt that it kept the writing exciting and moving even though many people felt like it talked in circles. I could see how she was moving in circles, but I liked it because I felt like I picked up more from reading it multiple times. The Hampl readings have been interesting as well but they have been harder for me to understand. Her way of writing is not as clear as the other author, so I have a harder time keeping myself engaged and focused in the readings.  The one reading I didn’t enjoy was the one by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was very confusing and I didn’t understand much of what was going on. I think his writing style was what threw me off the most.
