8/28 Reader Response “This I Believe”
They were all first person
They all were about the authors personal beliefs Isabel Allende that giving is what makes life fulfilling
They all mentioned some form of life experience jackie robinsonseeing baclk and white people together at a baseball game
They were all fairly short
Based on the reading It appears that the i beleive essays are supposed to be about one’s own personal beliefs. That is why they are in the first person perspective. It also appears that personal experience to help explain the belief that one is writing about is also important to them. The goal of the essay i feel is to explain some important part of what you believe to others using personal life experience to support and reinforce those beliefs.
