Reading Response 1, Week 9

This week's response will be over Dionne Irving's Florida Lives. I thought this piece did a great job with character development and mirroring. It was also nice to see what inspired Irving with some of the ideas in her piece. I thought that the story did a great job of making the characters seem real. These were people I'm sure we have seen before, and could easily be imagined by the reader. It was also interesting because the more I read I began to dislike the main characters. I didn't like what they had become, which was the very thing they claimed to hate, by the end. It was a great read!
