This week, I still reading the book called "Harriet The Spy" written by "Louise Fitzhugh." I read chapter eight of the book. It's about Harriet did her job as a spy and went to the store of Dei Santi family. She saw that something wrong was happen, when Papa Dei Santi pick up the phone and talked with Mama Dei Santi about the things that happened. Fabio, one of the son in the family, got hurt from the truck. Also, by that time Signora, a daughter of the family, caught the little Joe Curry because he was stealing the food and then he was fired from his work. After that Fabio came back to his house and told his parents that truth that he was working for another job because he do not like to be in the store all day long.
When Fabio was telling his parents that he was doing another job, it reminded me about what I always talking with my mother about the job that I will do in my future. Unlike what Fabio did, I will keep doing my mother business after I graduate from my university. When I was young, I thought that I will not keep it from my mother because I will not like it. I always think that my mother's job is very busy and very hard so, I could not do like what she is doing now. But, I will do my best. Although, I also have some dreams about the job that I really want to do. I want to be a stylist. I want to open my own clothes shop but I think my parents will not allow me to do that.
When I stuck reading this chapter, I used the reading strategies to help me understand the story better. For example, I reread the part that I got confuse slowly and loudly, so I could what was happen in the story.

I wonder who Fabio is.
While I am reading your blog I am a bit confuse about your story.
I would have liked to know why it is hard to tell your parents what you want to do with your future, and why you think they will not understand.
Please give examples of how you use the reading strategy.
