I can show critical thinking through my journal entries for group book talks on The Help by Kathryn Stockett. One thing that demonstrates my ability to think critically is needing to analyze each chapter that I read, as I needed to find different hidden or double meanings. I also showed critical thinking when I had to pick apart each character and figure out why they might have done what they did. Something that I can improve on is not looking into every little detail, as sometimes events do not happen for any specific reason, which I found happened every so often. One way that I can expand my critical thinking skills is by thinking about a different point of view when analyzing anything, whether it is an article or a novel.
