Opening up a new hardcover book is almost impossible for me. I find myself unable to concentrate on the story at hand. Knowing that I cannot connect with characters the way an author would like is difficult at time. Honestly, I cannot read the newspaper because the images presented in the newspaper are not sufficient enough like on the internet. Along with myself, Carr believes that the net, as referred to in his article, is becoming a universal medium, the conduit for most of the information that flows through my eyes and ears and into my mind (p.68).
Fahrenheit 451 argues if books really do matter. The argument of books in today’s world of living is questionable and can be prolonged for a series of time due to modern day technology. This debate will go on for years and years into the future. As technology gets higher used and smarter, we will use papered books less in the future and people be so caught up in all of this technology that they will not see the true meaning of paper-back books and why they can be so important. There’s nothing like holing a real book in your hands being able to smell the inked paper.
After reading those sections several times, I am still sort of lost, but I also somewhat understand. However sections 3, 5, and6 were not as clear as water, but clear enough to understand. Ancient Egypt is not called our first great civilization for no reason. Due to the hard work they endured, it all paid off in the end. These passages relate to our new generations in so many
I do not, however, think that’s a normal family in that time period. I would not recommend this book to a classmate. I would recommend it to someone older. Middle schooler students are more into modern books, and that book was too old for us. This book was not very good.
It’s old literature for a reason. These books were written a long time ago and that is how they spoke at the time. The authors aren’t trying to be offensive. If they wrote these books now it wouldn’t have the racism in it. Also, it changes the whole book.
While picking out what article to read for this assignment I was skeptical as to picking this one because of its length, nine pages of reading seemed like a lot to absorb at once. After reading what Carr said I laughed because that is correct. People will tend to not read longer articles because frankly we are just lazy. We just want to skim the article. Carr put in plain words how we are surrounded by ideas that made us just want to skim as we read.
I must say I liked the idea of one big paper because in my opinion there is no way you can receive a bad grade. Since the paper was due towards the end of the semester with segments of it due throughout the semester like proposal, rough draft, and ECT, this gave me more than enough time to work on it. Also, I had the opportunity to turn my paper in early so that I can receive feedback on it before the due date increasing my chances of receiving a good grade. I must say I feel like I have become a better writer since last semester. I took the comments, criticism, and suggestions professor Underwood gave me on previous papers and put them into this paper.
At this point, I think it depends on what are your reading interests and how reading meets your interpretation skills to be understood or to get you involved on its field. I have always been a thinker, but throughout my coursework, I have sharpened my critical analysis skills and I like to read more books than I did before. First time that I started to read it was in my first grade. I was so excited at the time and I felt like a hero. My first teacher, Luljeta, was a big help to put me in the track.
That was nerve racking but a great experience. In the long run I mostly enjoy writing but when under pressure I feel a bit less interested. As a debt collector I was prompted to write to me director expressing my concerns and issues concerning company policies and procedures. I felt a bit nervous explaining how our two thirty minute breaks would be more efficient is combined to make an hour long lunch, however in the end we were taken seriously and our lunch breaks were extended. I leaned that sometimes speaking your mind no matter how intimidating can usually pay off in the long run.
Most ones I would have liked were too advanced for me, so I wouldn’t have been able to read them. Throughout my childhood reading was not my strong point in school, but I learned to be a much better reader. I have become a better reader now with lots of hard work and reading still affects my everyday life. Now a days I will sometimes read for fun and books for school too. During school when I read I sometimes struggle on larger words or ones I don’t know, but I work very hard and it pays off.
