Morgan's Literacy Narrative
Piper, Morgan

>>MORGAN: My name is Morgan Piper and my literacy narrative focuses on some memories that I have from my childhood. I'm going to focus on two memories and the first memory I actually have focuses on reading. My parents really read a lot to me when I was a child and they really wanted me to read so they enrolled me in a lot of book programs but when it comes to reading I really remember my grandma's house because she had these Trixie Belden books which are like Nancy Drew but I never got into Nancy Drew so I would just sit in my little room upstairs with the blue couch and read all of the Trixie Belden series. I think she had probably twelve or fifteen books and I ripped through those so easily. Then as I got older and I finished reading those books she always had the Reader's Digest and I remember we always went to my grandma's for Monday night dinners and we would talk and then after dinner was over I would disappear and my mom would always be like, "Morgan, where are you?" I was off in my little room again reading the Reader's Digest - so that's one memory I have. Then the second memory that I have from my childhood actually focuses on writing and I can't remember how old I was; I was probably seven or eight and for my birthday I got a Little Mermaid diary and I just loved that thing and I would carry it everywhere and write down what happened to me at school that day or if I was mad at my parents I would write down that they did so and so and I can't believe they did that and then actually I started writing tiny stories in there and I still actually have that Little Mermaid diary today - I don't use it anymore but I still have it.
