Connecting to Reading

My book is called The Deer Hunter, written by E.M. Corder. In this weeks reading the boys were going to the VFW to spend time with their family for the last time before they got sent out to the Vietnam war that they were enlisted to fight in. While they were at the VFW, as I was reading i kept imagining the banquet hall I went to for my great aunt and uncles 50th wedding anniversary. I drove 3 hours to see the family that I pretty much never even met, I was 2 the last time I saw them. It was really nice to meet all of them again, and this time I will actually remember them. The way the author was explaining the VFW, such as the color and surroundings, reminded me exactly of the hall I went to for the anniversary.
