In Class Writing 1

There are many positives and negatives when it comes to reading and writing.  A positive with reading is that you can learn new things every time you pick up a book.  Whether it is interesting or not, you may still be able to learn something new.  The negatives are when you are forced to read a book, such as a class assignment, and you can't get yourself into the book. Anyone can pick up a book and read it, you just may not be that interested in it.  My sophomore year in high school we had to read How to Kill a Mockingbird.  I couldn't get myself to read several chapters every night because I was just not that into it. It hurt me in the end because I was unable to get myself into the story and comprehend what was going on.

Writing on the other hand, is not my specialty.  For me, there are many negatives and not so many positives. One of  the many negatives are that it is hard for me to start the paper.  I may know what I want to write about, but starting it can make it seem much more difficult.  Another negative is that I may be able to get my point across, but it may not sound all that good, which results in me getting a bad grade.  A positive when is comes to writing may be that you can let out emotion and anger in a paper.  Maybe you would be able to write about something that has been bottled up in you for quite some time.  So for me, there are a lot more positives in reading as there are in writing and the opposite goes for the negatives.
