Reading Reflection
I really enjoyed all of the pieces assigned for today. I thought the multimodality was a
ie hage of pae ad reided e that a essa does’t just ilude ords ritte o
paper. Jeifer Chag’s piee, Toard a Poetis of Phato Li, itrigued e largely due to

story of joy. It’s true that soeties e forget to appreiate the siple thigs i life, like eatig

impact. I liked how the piece was set up, with the pictures for support as well as the cross in

was immensely powerful. It discusses a tragic event and reveals the horrors of the nuclear
event, yet does not take on too dark of a tone. Beig told fro soeoe’s poit of ie ho
