Nervous Conditions=

     I am a strong believer in giving everything and everyone a chance. Some people say that I am judgmental, but I only judge something on what I collect after observing. I was open minded to Nervous Conditions, but my lack of enjoyment when it comes to reading defiantly set me back. This seems like it has nothing to do with wether or not they read this book next year, but in my opinion it does. I believe that there should be a different and slightly shorter book that last about the same time as Mrs. Edwords class and with a similar theme. I also think that the way that we do the different layers were good and that those should be kept.
     I feel like there are some things that set us (the class) back. If we would have read a shorter book, or started earlier it would have effected the discussions of leadership a positive way. We could have done a bit of time as a whole group, and the other group would not have been as board some days while ours was still in the book. This would help with maybe some planing and corresponding of the days we meet.
     Something that I thought went well is how Nervous Conditions related to our class question. It talks a lot about community and culture, and it is the most relatable book to the question. It was very odious, and very easy to understand. I did not really see how it intertwined with Lord of the Flies, but I can now see the connection and understand how both stories relate to communities and cultures and how they correspond.
     I feel like if there were to be a book that was just as focused on culture and communities joining together, but it was shorted and lasted the same amount of  time as the alchemist with Mrs. Edwards class it would be much better.  We could be more in sync with their class, but it might be more difficult to keep it with our class theme.
