Before our class next Tuesday I'd like you to begin reading the memoir you selected to read outside of class (45 minutes) and write a reading blog entry according to the instructions below this entry.
I have never felt the thought of suicide running through my head, but I have had times in which I say to myself, "I can't do this anymore" (meaning life), and I give up in everything, refusing to go through it, dealing with it and everything in it; family, friends and society. Treating everything with disrespect and disregard.
Due to the times I have experienced and felt this I know how sad it is to look at life in such a way and I kind of feel what Brent was going through during his "tough" school years. He looked at his parents as just something else and started to fail in class showing the lesser side of himself, was a troubled kid and brought chaos, but in the end he realized that it is only a passing thing, and I think he decided to kept going in the end, when he found himself in the hospital knowing his life would never be the same, because he was holding on to something, greater than letting himself fall slowly into the abyss of denying life.

David, you're to post your reading blogs on your own blog, not mine.
