How Do You People Read?

When people are bringing up quotes in class, I do not know how they found them? When I read a book I only seem to pick up on the big picture and never seem to pick up on the themes in the book. For instance, I never picked up on the certain colors or the eye references while I was reading The Great Gatsby. The first time I picked up on it was in class when Mr O'Connor tells us about them. I do not know whether it is that I read too fast or am not careful enough? But either way I am not denying that they are there.

Flags of Our Heroes


This picture has a totally different meaning than any other flag because it shows the ultimate sacrifice for your country. It also shows the ultimate respect for the flag. In fact it used to not be allowed for the media to take pictures of flag draped coffins until Barack Obama recently allowed it.
