Reading



This is my literary essay of __Touching Spirit Bear__ by Ben Mikaelsen. My assignment was to explain how the author examines, reflects and changes the human experience throughout the text. I think that I was to learn what the true meaning of why the author created this book. I needed to learn that the author transfers the life around them into their manuscripts. Also, I was to learn the true moral and meaning of the text. The author wanted me to understand what they were trying to portray in their texts. Through learning all of this I had a lot of help from my teacher. One day, my teacher had put my essay on the projector screen and had given advice on what I should work on. He gave me feedback on necessary informaton and textual information that can back up my facts. Also he helped me with clarifyng confusing information in my essay. Through all of his help, I was able to succeed in completing my essay. I have now learned the reason why authors create texts: to change, mirror or observe human actions.

Here is my literary essay on the new, great manuscript Simeon’s Story. I was supposed to create a report on what the author, Simeon Wright, was trying to teach the reader. I had to pay attention to what the author was trying to make me understand. I was supposed learned about the hidden background message that the author is trying to portray through their books. My mother has helped me alot with this. She helped me with grammar and not have unnecessary information. I learned how to see beyond the text and into the author’s deeper message of their text. I saw what they were trying to expose throughout the whole text. Also, I learned how to associate which actions or techniques the author uses to see the message. Because of this assignment, I now instinctively understand the hidden message of the texts that I read which makes it easier to understand the life lesson.
