First Stab at Essential Questions

1. What are my current reading skills?
My current reading skills are quite average, because I haven't being enjoying reading as much as I have before. My reading skills actually differ from which book I'm reading, since I can't even understand a really simple book if I don't have any interest in it. But when I'm reading a good book that entertains and really pulls me in, I understand it and finish it quicker than I usually do.

2. How can I improve and grow as a reader?
There are several ways to improve and grow as a reader from my view, but what I think is the best way to improve as a reader is to just read more. When you read a lot, your reading skills gradually increase. You will be seeking for a better book each time and that eventually results in seeking higher-leveled books.

3. What purpose can literature serve in my life?
Literature could be my best hobby if I really loved literature, but since I don't really get entertained from reading or literatures, I don't know what it will do in my life right this time. But what I'm strongly assuming is that literature will have vast impacts in my future because literatures like reading and writing feeds your mind. So what I think literature will serve in my life would be the best manure to raise up my mind and thoughts.

4. What resources can I find in the library that will help me in this course and other courses?
Some of the resources that I might be able to find would be mainly books about detailed explanation of how to improve my knowledge, because unless it was written in complete nonsense, I can have a general idea of what this guy is trying to tell me. And if I read many books like these, then I can have information about how lots of people got through successfully and probably mix those causes of success to make my own unique way of helping me through hardships.
