Feb 11/12 Consider your experience reading The Color Purple (a fictional novel), Fences (a play/drama), and Wild (a nonfiction memoir). Which type of longer text did you enjoy the most, the novel, the play, or the memoir, and which did you find the most challenging? Explain your preference, describe what made that type of text more engaging or accessible for you, and reflect on how understanding your preference might influence how you approach future readings.

 Prompt Response: After reading these 3 texts I would say the one I enjoyed the most was the color purple (fictional novel). The one I found most challenging to me was the color purple because of just how much reading it has and you have to read it to understand. The color purple made me feel more engaged because of how it makes you understand what they are saying so I understand more. Now in the future I know what type of books to look for.
