Literacy Narriative


Aria Fazelimanesh

I watched Chris Higgs interview about how he got interested in literature. Chris as a kid never liked reading, he would go to library and takes the book home but he never read them until he got obsessed with Jim Morrison and starts reading all of the books that Jim Morrison has read.  Chris didn’t do well in high school and as he said he always cheated or tried to skip school as much as he could.  Researching about every little details that Chris didn’t know in these books helped him learn a lot and enjoy reading much more. Now days when he goes to book store to buy books he only looks at the author’s last names because he knows which authors works interest him.
            I can relate Chris’s relation to literacy to myself because I’m not a reader unless I read about the topics that really interest me. For example I like to read everything about Chelsea football club otherwise I get bored and distracted. Also parents play a big role in giving the kids the habit of reading.
