I NEED HELP PLEASE In this discussion, you will respond to a prompt about the strategies you use when reading different texts. Review part of a sample post. When I read something hard, I make a lot of notes. I write down unfamiliar words, note interesting passages, and write down questions I have as I read. I also preview the reading to make sure I am ready to read it. I use different strategies for different types of texts because one strategy does not work for everything. Visualization, for example, is more useful for understanding very descriptive texts than it is in, say, decoding the U. S. Constitution.

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
