         <description><![CDATA[<div>Today I started reading “The Art Of Racing In The Rain” by Garth Stein. When I was trying to pick a book yesterday, I was wavering between “The Art Of Racing In The Rain” by Garth Stein and “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime” by Mark Haddon.<br>It was a tough decision. But, I ultimately decided to choose this book because I’ve always wanted to read the book for a long time now.<br><br>1. What GENRE is it?&nbsp;<br>- Realistic Fiction or Fiction&nbsp;<br><br>2. What is ANOTHER book the author has written.<br>- Sudden Light&nbsp;<br><br>3. It is considered a classic? Or a more modern read?<br>- Classic&nbsp;<br><br>4. Has it been made into a movie?<br>- Yes, it’s Called “The Art Of Racing In The Rain”<br><br><br>So far, I like it! Here is a quick summary of what I have read so far, the first chapter is really sad and about how Enzo the dog is getting off of age. The second chapter is about how Denny, Enzo’s owner picked him.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>To make a connection to the film “Validation” is the short story “Say Yes.” The whole story of “Say Yes” was the woman trying to be the man to say yes to if she were African American. This relates to the short film by the guy trying to make her smile everyday. Another connection to the film is me trying to get my laundry done. The clean clothes of laundry just sits in my room for about a week. My parents tell me to do it everyday. I finally get to a point and do it. This is a connection by the man trying to make the woman smile as well.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Today I went to this fun museum and saw a ton of cool pieces. My favorite would have to be “Bettman Archive” by Lou’s Armstrong. Here’s a picture of it!&nbsp; <br><a href="https://preview.redd.it/x7knhbtejix41.jpg?auto=webp&amp;s=ce486475c307d8ec326eed7197b02004c7ebf2f1">https://preview.redd.it/x7knhbtejix41.jpg?auto=webp&amp;s=ce486475c307d8ec326eed7197b02004c7ebf2f1</a><br>This (photograph/poem/painting/movie) shows (describe it) that the small things in life matter.<br>It really stood out to me because most people don’t think about the small things.<br>I also like that the (artist/photographer/director/etc.) focused on that money doesn’t matter for love. Overall, I really liked all the pieces! I’m so glad Mr. Knuth and Ms. Miller set this up for me!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The Art of Racing in the rain. The genre of the book is realistic fiction or fiction. The author of the book is Garth Stein. The main character is Enzo and he is a golden retriever dog. His owner is Denny and he does professional race car driving. The main conflict in the story is that Eve, Denny’s wife, doesn’t&nbsp; like it when Denny is away on tour for racing. Enzo has seen and heard many arguments and is trying to distract Zoe as their daughter. This argument happens multiple times throughout the beginning of the book. In chapter 14 Denny and Eve were arguing on what Zoe wanted for dinner. She didn’t want chicken nuggets, instead she wanted something different. When Denny’s gone Zoe eats chicken nuggets just fine, but since Denny was home Zoe wanted attention. Eve cut her thumb open and Denny tried to help in any way he could. Enzo’s owner Denny faces the obstacles of being away from his family and trying to provide, however, he doesn’t bring much money in for his family. Denny tries to be home as much as possible, but whenever he’s home he puts the stress of hit racing on his family and it becomes very difficult.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The best scene that best depicts a critical moment for the main character is a moment when Enzo sees the whole argument happen between Denny and Eve trying to give Zoe a dinner she wants. Zoe was being stubborn and wanted attention from Denny because he’s not home that much. Eve is taking care of Enzo and Zoe all the time when Denny is away with racing. Eve also has some really intense medical conditions that are very serious. When Eve cut her thumb Denny said that she'll go to the hospital. Eve didn’t want that because she was scared they were going to keep her there for days because something might be wrong. Denny kept pushing as a way of trying to help after feeling so guilty that he’s never home. The author dramatizes the scene by Denny trying to help Eve with the cut on her thumb and he’s helping because he feels guilty by never being home all the time because of racing.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I can relate to Enzo’s owner Denny. I focus a lot on what I'm passionate about. I work hard and make sure that nothing is given to me. I always make sure that I earn it and work hard. With dealing with stress I can relate that to Denny by taking it out on family and not having a healthy way of releasing that stress. I get so stressed that I tense up and you can see it in my face and body language. It’s like I can walk into a room and change the energy and make everyone stressed because I'm stressed. Denny does the same in a way. He puts so much stress on his family and it trunks into a huge argument that ends very badly. I’m not too sure if I ever experienced an identity crisis however, I have had some struggles in life and overcame them and learned from them. This reminds me of the short story we read in class called “Say Yes.” by the wife getting cut with a utensil and blood dripping everywhere. Also with the husband both trying to help because they feel bad that they don’t do more.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div>]]></description>
