Literacy Narrative

     So, I have an idea for my literacy narrative. It's the fact that reading Harry Potter changed my perspective on reading. First, though, a question or two: are we writing this from the point of view of a reader or writer? I only ask because, even though I'm pretty sure you said both, I'm not 100% on that.
     Another thing: reading that series changed the way I've read everything after it. There are details in abundance in Harry Potter, so it taught me to look more carefully at books from then on, to try and fully understand them. Also, this was one of the first REAL books I'd ever read. Because of this, I've enjoyed sci-fi and fantasy books far more than any other genre. This is due to the fact that, because of my experience, I feel more connected to this type of book than any other. Finally, the writing in Harry Potter is a little more complex than your run-of-the-mill kindergarten-1st grade book. As I've mentioned, the details are more prevalent, and the ideas are more developed. So, having grown on the genre of sci-fi and fantasy, I've taken a liking to creative writing more than any other kind (like, say, literacy narratives).
     I know that I want to write about how Harry Potter changed my perspective on reading.
