Literacy Narrative essay
2.22.2021
Words are like puzzles to me that I couldn’t recognize. Sentences are like puzzles to me that I couldn’t solve easily. English readings as my second language are more like illegible writing that hard to read. The first day I touched English literacy, I could feel the power of words and the story, the lesson behind the sentences, the journal. I always know the power of words since I was taught by my mom when I was little. “reading can take you anywhere”, I could always hear this sentence from my mother every time I try to learn."

How TV Influenced My Literacy Development
Words are like puzzles to me that I couldn’t recognize. Sentences are like puzzles to me that I couldn’t solve. I first realized this trouble when my older brother and cousins used to watch My Wife and Kids. Everyone found it funny. Even the invisible people in the background could laugh at some mumbled words, and I was left wondering what was funny.

Then I realized that some of the episodes had subtitles, which I could neither read nor comprehend. However, they made it slightly easier for me to follow the show because I began to solve some of the puzzles (jokes). I could put some words to some of the 'mumbles' that other people were heartily laughing at. I began learning these words by how the characters said them, and I realized that I could solve some of the sentences. However, following the subtitles was hectic because, on many occasions, people would be laughing already while I was still trying to piece what the words meant. English readings as my second language are more like illegible writing that hard to solve.
On the other hand, my father liked to watch historical war movies, especially about ancient Britain. His favorite shows were marred with violence and nudity, and on most occasions, he could watch alone or with his friends. My mother seldom liked them as much as I can remember. Once in a while, when he was in a goo...
