One passage that I found in the book that was interesting and stuck out to me was that, Maya, who had always been a good student, was given a scholarship to attend the California Labor School when she was 14 years old. She also took evening classes in drama and dance. This passage stuck out to me because when I read it, I felt really happy for her as if she was one of my friends. This also really stuck out to me because I'm also 14 and I haven't even accomplished something that big. I hope that I do. I also have always wanted to receive a scholarship, but that's a one in a million chance. All in all, Maya is a hardworking student and she really deserves that scholarship.
Some things that I have learned that I will remember in the near future is how much of a great person Maya Angelou is and how creative her work is. I never really knew much about Maya Angelou till I read this book. I always thought she was just a great writer and she's known for her poems. Maya has a very interesting backstory that made me really interested in this book. She writes about self peace and love which I think is really interesting. I hope to read some of her pieces in the future. I also learned that she met Martin Luther King Jr. which I thought was really amazing. She's made it very far in life despite her past. Maya has also created a book called I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. I hope to read this book in the future and learn more about herself and more about her past.

This is dope. I love how you chose book on that is almost like you. You're just like Maya, Dena. I'm not saying that because I'm your amiga, I'm saying it because it's true. I also love how you chose passages that you will want to also do or achieve. It's great, I love this blog.

ReplyDeleteHey Dean Queen. I like your blog. Rephrase that. I LOVE IT. I learned more about Maya Angelou, and I liked how you related to her, saying that you're 14 and that you haven't accomplished anything as big as Maya. I do have faith in you, though. I know you can. Lub You
