This year in LIt

This class has been full of information that has definitely made me think inside and outside of the classroom. I have become much more aware of my surroundings and the things that go on in society. The many novels and articles we have read have all provoked some kind of emotion in me. Some good, some bad, some of utter disbelief. I enjoyed the chance to discuss readings within a small group, I think it enhanced my understanding of the different materials, and made for some very interesting conversations and discussions.

I know now what a powerful role the media plays in our everyday lives. I know I will take this knowledge with me throughout the rest of my time here at Shippensburg and even further into my future.

No more books

I think if there were no more books, at first no one would miss them. I think after time they would be missed. I know that I enjoy reading a book for fun, of my own choice. It relaxes me. They also help us to use our imagination and creativity. You get to imagine scenes that are described and what the characters of the novel might look like. Without books our creativity may go down the toilet.

I think we are metaphorically burning books everyday when we go see movies, even just watching tv. We are too lazy to read books most of the time. We come up with excuses like there is no time for them. I think we should start making some time for them, before they are gone forever.
