Reading+response+Leamon

When I was reading these two books, I had different feelings about each. **My Freshman Year** I felt was very interesting. It was the fact that she was doing all the things that I just did a week ago that I really liked. When I read, I like to connect with the stories so I was thinking about the way that I would react if there was a fifty year old women living in my hall. When I thought of this, I thought of how strange that would truly be to me. I am not surprised that she was an outcast. I didn’t like reading **Ethnography** because I felt that it was, frankly, boring. I couldn’t connect with what they were saying and there were many words I wasn’t familiar with. The one thing that I did really pick up on was when they were talking about the languages. The book said that people that couldn’t speak the same language were seen as outcasts. In **My Freshman Year**, she notices how people use a different lingo than she does and this is part of what makes her an outcast. When it said that students didn’t really wonder why there was a fifty year old freshmen that didn’t surprise me much. I have realized that students don’t care why you are different they just want to stay away from you. I also that it was strange that no one recognized her as a professor at that college. I am excited to keep reading **My Freshman Year** and see what happens!
