Response Questions

By the Seat of My Pants was a good book choice for this project. I had trouble reading this book, but that's just who I am. I have trouble reading any book, even the Harry Potter series. I tried reading the whole series but I was never able to finish book three. However, I'm glad I chose By the Seat of My Pants because of the format. It is a collection of short and humorous stories which made reading it simpler. I did not feel the need to read the entire book at once. Because this book is broken up into many different short stories, I did not have a single place be my favorite. I enjoyed the places that were discussed in a negative way. Most people travel in order to experience unique and exciting cultures, but these stories narrarate unfortunate events while traveling. A few examples of places discussed are Prague, Ushuaia, Oaxaca, America, and about thirty others. A central idea the author is trying to get across is that not all vacations will be perfect like one expects, but they must still treasure their unique experiences in foreign places and enjoy these trips as much as possible. From this project, I learned the basic tools for creating and accessing blogs. I also learned to try and travel more becuase it sounds exciting. The most difficult part of the project was getting started and deciding what to post about. The most enjoyable part of the project was when I finished!
