College summer reading..?

[AUGirl]

<p>

I had summer reading as well. My book was a short, historical fiction book about Japanese Internment during WWII. We also had to write a short, one page essay on any theme from the book and turn it in. We weren’t graded, but the best essay from each dialogue (small groups where we met with part of our hallway and part of the guy’s hallway directly below us to talk about college, classes, adjusting, etc…) was given a $15 bookstore gift card. They claimed it was just something to get our minds going and to introduce us to college writing, but I certainly never wrote a paper that was only one page long.

</p>

<p>I would love that. A) I love learning about the Japanese Internment Camps. I did my History Day project on that in eighth grade after reading a short poem about it. B) The paper isn’t graded, but there’s motivation to write a good essay.</p>

<p>…On the other hand, our required book is about a “guilty liberal” (says so on the front cover), and I’m a very conservative person from the Bible Belt… so I don’t see how they chose this book for us to read. Oh well.</p>

<p>Agh what the hell. I do not understand how to quote messages. I clicked the “Quote message in reply?” button! My previous post was meant to be addressed to boilingwax.</p>

<p>^How to do quotes:</p>

<p>use those bracket things [] with the word quote inside them</p>

<p>So do one of those, then the text, then the second one of those, but with the slash mark (/) inside the bracket before the word quote</p>
