One Writer's Beginnings

One Writer’s Beginnings
Eudora Welty
1983
I am now moving on to a new book. It’s a non-fiction book too. It was kind of hard to find but I got help. I went to Ms. Cassell with my time problem. I explained to her how it was hard finding time to get and read a book. She then introduced me to the books that she has available in her classroom. I told her that I have to find a non-fiction book this time and she gave me many different options.
I decided to choose One writer’s Beginnings by Eudora Welty. There were a lot of reasons why I chose this book. One reason is because of how short it was. At first I thought the book had to be a big, long 300 or more page book. But this book is only 104 pages and the font is not eye-straining either.
I also chose this book because of Ms. Cassell told me it was an easy read. This was another plus because I don’t have a lot of time and books where I have to put a lot of thought into it to understand what is going on would not help. Just by flipping through the pages I see that this book has really simple diction and has a chronological order in which it is written.
This book also seemed interesting to me which is rare being that it is non-fiction. The reason I was interested is because I have already been introduced to the piece. You may remember this author from a previous class work assignment we had to do. I read a part of this book already and had to analyze how the author conveys the values and effects of reading on her career. From that prompt I found that Eudora Welty is a mainly a fiction writer. I also found that reading has really impacted her future. The prompt also made me know that One Writer’s Beginnings is really an easy- to- read book.
So I am really looking forward to reading this simple book and find out how Eudora ended up being a fiction writer. TTYL!!!
