...Do you believe that you should read the book “The Tell-Tale Heart”by Edgar Allen Poe? Well if you feel like you should not then that is why I am here.I believe that you should read it and here is why.It is a very good book,it will make you want to read more,and it is not a scary book.The reason I said it is not a scary book is because it is a story of Gothic Horror. So back to my first reason,it is a very good book to read.This is a good book to read on your spare time.While some people believe that reading is a waste of time.At the beginning of the book--I didn’t get what the servant was talking about.So I read on my spare time to get a greater understanding. If you took my advice on reading it on your spare time it begins to get interesting.It has very intense scenes like when the servant suffocates the man with the bed and when he cuts the arms and legs off of the man and hid his body under the floor board.The novel is kind of sad but not scary.Especially when the servant killed the old man because of his pale blueish eye.Some people might say that the story is not a little sad and that it is boring but I personally believe it is sad(Tip:Dont be discouraged of reading it because I said that)....

...Analytical Essay – “Why Are Americans Afraid Of Dragons?” This essay is about Ursula Le Guin’s text: “Why are Americans afraid of dragons?”. The theme is about the phenomenon fantasy, and the importance of being allowed to use ones imagination as a child, as well as an adult. Throughout the text, she uses poor argumentation as to why reading fantasy is important. But still her argumentations makes sense, are trustworthy and entertaining. The reason why I categorize it as poor but entertaining and trustworthy is that she doesn’t use a variety of argumentation types. She uses pathos throughout the whole text with some experiences of her own to back up some of her points. Her overall claim in her text is that reading fantasy feeds the imagination, and therefore one doesn’t crave poor TV series and porn as examples, as an adult. Also that proper feeding of one’s imagination in an early age through fantasy books has a positive impact in one’s adult life. But why aren’t there more adults reading fantasy then? That question gives birth to Le Guin’s question and title of her text “Why Are Americans Afraid Of Dragons?”. Le Guin’s text appeal to the adult readers, as to why they should read fantasy or fiction for that matter, and that immersing in a good fantasy or novel shouldn’t be something taboo in the American society. She states that many Americans are not only antifantasy, but antifictional altogether. She also claims that men in modern society aren’t allowed to read fantasy or fictions...

...Women and Beauty Magazines by Christine Hetcher Beauty magazines, such as Cosmopolitan, Glamour, and Marie Claire, are widely read by women throughout America . What do women actually think of these magazines? Do they feel the magazines are helpful, degrading, or simply something to read? This paper is a survey interview to determine what women in their late teens and early twenties think about beauty magazines in Americatoday. The purpose of this study is to determine whether women like or dislike beauty magazines, why they like or dislike them, and how frequently women read beauty magazines. Background This section reviews the previous studies conducted on the effects of women’s magazines. Magazines specifically written for women have been in circulation for over sixty years, discussing whatever issues were relevant to women at the time (Moskowitz, 1996). Some of the earlier magazines focused on a war-time rebellion of feminism. Moskowitz (1996) conducted a study about the effects of war-time magazines and said, “Women’s magazines of the Cold War era remain symbols of antifeminism” (p. 66). Moskowitz (1996) found that many women liked the articles because many magazines discussed important issues to them, such as stress, emotionalism, and feminism (p.66). Moskowitz (1996) said, “recognition of emotional tension was common for women’s magazines” (p.67). This recognition “presented a whole new genre of articles that gave housewives the freedom...

...interviewed. In order to participate in the interview, one must be familiar with the broadcast and print media. He or she must like reading books and watch movie or TV series as well. The purpose of conducting this interview is to get more thorough perspectives on the Broadcast and Print media. Among the three interviewees, two engaged more with the Broadcast than the Print media. However, when asked to choose their preferences on visual or text, all of them agreed that visual plays more important role in their lives. The first interviewee, Charmaine, could not decide whether she prefers movies over books, or vice versa. The second and third interviewee, Louise and Hans, would want to watch movies based on the good books that they have read previously. However, they both would not buy those books if they watched movies first. Adding on, they both claimed they are regular movie goers because a movie only consumes two hours whereas, finishing a book takes them a week. Charmaine on the other hand, prefer convenience and tangible material. Therefore, she prefers reading books instead when she has the time. She still would go for movies at times but she stated that books offer more escapism from reality. Louise and Hans, as movie watchers, believe that watching a movie is the best way for stress relieve. 2.2 Focus Group Five people participated in this focus group which fulfils the minimum requirement.

...I remember as a young child my parents, teachers, and tutor always saying " read the book" and I didn't. I thought that it was just silly to do so and that it wasn't necessary, especially since the teachers would always teach us what was in the book. Now that I am older and have to read more documents and sign more papers on my own, I see why it is important to learn how to read. Most of what we learn is through reading. The more we read, the more we know and the more we are able to remember. Through reading comes knowledge. When we read, our brain processes the information and stores it as memory. This gives us more knowledge because after reading any kind of material several times, we will have eventually learned it and remember it more. This is because our...

...makes people uncomfortable or doesn’t have the happily ever after. But why should they be banned because people don’t like the story told? A couple of weeks ago, I read Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I chose this book because it was recommended to me by a friend. Meaning that someone my age has already read, and very much enjoyed that book. So why does it make it so terrible for kids to read? I feel that just because a book might have something in it that is not innocent or acceptable in society, (sexual harassment, rape, etc.) doesn’t mean that students and children shouldn’t be able to read that book. Instead, have a certain age that children should be allowed to read that book....

...educational purpose behind them. Authors have a hard time coming up with something to write about and then libraries and schools say that they are not appropriate and that they are banned. The Witch, My Brother Sam is Dead, and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings are all books which should be unbanned because of their educational impact. The Witch by Roald Dahl should be unbanned because of the educational impact. Roald Dahl tries to explain how real witches look like and how they act. “For all you know, a witch might be living next door to you right now. Or she might be the woman with the bright eyes who sat opposite you on the bus this morning.” (Jim content). Dahl thinks that we do not know who is a witch and who is not. For people to understand he wrote an educational book about how one could be living very close to us. This book also says for children to beware of people that they do not know or that their parents do not know very...

...“Why I write/Difficult reading" Writing. One word, unlimited stories, tales, memories and also; stress. I struggle with both a mental and medical disability. This makes it so much more difficult to do everyday activities let alone something that takes long-term commitment and focus. I struggle very much when it comes to writing, reading and pretty much anything that has to do with concentration. When doing an assignment for class, for example; homework, my severe anxiety kicks in (although I suffer from it 24-7 it hit’s the ceiling when stress is involved.). I have to not only understand the work that has to be done I then have to read, re-read, look up, ask questions, attempt to understand, and re-read as I go to try to answer any questions I later have. I never knew about this column setup before and truthfully I am shocked to find that it does actually help. When reading I used to highlight, underline, keep notes or truthfully skip over words or sentences I couldn't comprehend or just couldn't pronounce. I was very lazy in my younger school years and pretended like certain words, definitions, or sentences were not important and could be skipped or omitted from the readings I was working on. I later found out that I was wrong and it was my downfall in certain assignments. I also struggle from a learning disability that I just recently found out about which also makes it frustrating when it takes hours to do an assignment that takes others minutes to...

...be educated on the inner workings of farm life. Part 2: Is it explicitly stated, or did you have to infer it? No, I did not have to read between the lines discover the claim of the essay. The author was clear about the claim she made. Question B: What are some examples of support? The author uses a single episode of the television show “Blue’s Room” to support the claim. There was no other outside source to back up the author’s claim. Question C: What are the author’s warrants? Does the author supply backing for the warrants? If yes, how? Part 1: What are the author’s warrants? The author believes that educating children about farm life is a waste of time. She goes on to state that children would be better off educated on A.T.M.’s and ring tones. She then refers to a portion of the “Blue’s Room” farming episode as “shocking” in which a puppet demonstrates how to milk a cow. Part 2: Does the author supply backing for the warrants? No, she does not. The essay is filled with her opinions and supposition with no backing or proof. Question D: Do you share the author’s warrants? Do you have conflicting warrants? If you have conflicting warrants, what are they? Part 1: Do you share the author’s warrants? No I do not, nor do I understand how she came to believe the way she does about farming education. Part 2: Do you have conflicting warrants? Yes I do. I believe that education is crucial, specifically with regards to farming and agriculture. Question E: Is there a rebuttal...

...The excerpt, “Learning to Read” from Fredrick Douglass’ autobiography portrays the struggle and hardship a slave has to go through at the time. Douglass writes about himself as a slave when he was younger and trying to be educated like the white children. He proposes his main goal of slavery to be abolished by using various writing techniques. Douglass uses the rhetorical triangle in order to strengthen his argument that slavery is wrong. By using an ethical approach, logical appeal and emotional appeal, Douglass effectively uses the rhetorical tactics to demonstrate how life can be as a slave and to convince that slavery should be removed. Throughout the excerpt, Douglass is personal background to show his credibility as an author. He demonstrate how life was for himself as a slave and how he couldn’t do as...
