Choice Reading
The reading that I chose to do was from the book of Nahum and Jeremiah 50-51. We are doing an analysis in class so I read these chapters. Jeremiah 50-51 and Nahum talk about destruction. In Jeremiah the destruction of Babylon is discussed. In Nahum it talks about the destruction of Nineveh. Both of these readings had similar themes. Utter destruction, punishment, desolation, God pouring out his wrath about the cities. I chose this text because I had to make comparisons between the two. While reading I had to flip back and forth to make connections to the other book. Using reading strategies helped me very much with this. I took notes to help me to remember what I read and to easily document the similarities and differences. I made connection (text to text). I reread to make sure that I got most of the comparing and contrasting points.
Great text-to-text connections!
