Reading Response 6 These readings for this week were sites of conflict and also in the self and beyond Categories. I really didn’t get the feel of these readings. They really confused me and I have no clue about some of the readings, they kind of just went over my head. I got the idea of “Dulce Et Decorum Est” and “ Welcome to Hiroshima”.

The essay consists of numerous
Neil Corcoran Eng 1102 Maher Introductory Reading Response After reading all of the articles, I have decided to write my response on No wonder they call me a bitch by Ann Hodgman.

Reading Response #2 Instead of pretending you must take a side for or against technology, "Alone Together" asks us to look out for ourselves and what is good for us. My favorite idea is that the point is not to get rid of technology but that each individual must stop and think where it fits in his or her life.

Reading Response #1 America is viewed by many as a country of freedom and justice, we are looked up to for our ability to accept diversity and difference. Or maybe that’s just what we keep telling ourselves. While there are many outsiders looking in that admire our country for its freedom and equal opportunity which is not offered in most other countries, there may be just as many if not more criticizing us for being ignorant people with closed minds who stuff our faces with McDonald’s cheeseburgers
