Trends

In these reading assignments, I have noticed that there have been a lot of store about women. Maybe I am the only person that sees this, but I see it loud and clear. I don't understand why we read about women. Also, I have noticed that most of all these stories were written in the mid 1900's.

Annotating really confuses me. There are so many ways to annotate and I always get confused on what we are supposed to do. Also, these stories are very hard to understand and it makes you think hard about what is actually going on in the story. If the stories weren't as confusing, I would like this reading book a lot better.
