 * Reader's Profile

Like most people, Nick Emery is a reader. He began reading,from what he can remember,before he began preschool with the help of his mother. Nick himself, usually reads when it concerns school, but every so often he picks up a book just for fun. He believes other people read to learn things and view things through a character’s eyes, and possibly acquire a new perspective on the world. Nick reads mostly during the summer, but during the academic year he mainly reads during the school day. Nick loves books that are fantasies, but he isn’t to picky and will also read just about anything that sounds good to him. Nick bases most of his reading choices based on recommendations from other teachers, students, family and friends. Nick isn’t entirely sure why he likes reading, in fact he doesn’t know at all. Nick does know though what he gets from reading. Nick receives entertainment and possibly a new outlook on the world from whatever story he happens to be reading. Nick thinks a good reader is a person who can process and comprehend the text at hand. Nick believes reading is easier is the text interests the reader, and he also believes reading may potentially become more difficult if the story or text bores the reader. Nick recommends books such as, Lord of the Flies, the Eragon series, and the Harry Potter series. On the other hand Nick strongly suggests not to even bother picking up the book Great Expectations.

Writer's Profile By Zac Vanderstelt

A writer must create an interesting and unique piece in order to attract an audience. At least that is what Nick said when questioned. When Nick was in preschool, he was taught how to write by his mother. Nick believes that a good writer must be able to effectively explain ideas in an intellectual way and that an author must also be able to use language to create emotions inside the reader. He says that writers usually write to express themselves, or sometimes they do it just to get rich. Nick says that writers usually are inspired by their own life experiences. Ideas that he was exposed to when he was young helps to influence Nick’s writing. These experiences that Nick encountered helped to create his excellent and fluent writing style. He writes for school for the most part and tends to be an above average writer. || Links: Good Night and Good Luck Mini Paper Horse Poem
