A Highly Unlikely Scenario Analysis

The book a highly unlikely scenario written by Rachel Cantor is about a boy named Leonard who works for Neetsa Pizza, and sits in a white room answering phone calls. It starts off with him getting strange calls from a guy named Marco, who claims to be from the thirteenth–century. Also, Leonard’s sister keeps disappearing with her “book club,” which is leaving Leonard to take care of his nephew, Felix. This means he’s got to go outside, and that’s when trouble occurs. The most meaningful part of A Highly Unlikely Scenario for me was Leonard’s relationship with his nephew, Felix. When Leonard had to find a way to rescue is nephew from Rome, AD 1280, he had to do multiple tasks. He was constantly confronted with things he didn’t understand, …show more content…
This website is credible because it has a list of different ways for communication. The first one is “deep listening.” During the book, all Leonard had to do was listen to Isaac the blind, not just Isaac the blind, he had to listen Sally, Felix Milione, everybody, and he did. He did exactly what he was told to do. The second one is “explaining conversational intent,” and that happened when Isaac the blind was giving him tasks to do. The third one is “expressing yourself more clearly,” and this means revealing your feelings or views. This ties in with Leonard meeting Sally. At first he was all excited about meeting her, but then when he met her and found out she didn’t like him all that much, his attitude changed with her, and wasn’t sure about working with her. But then at the end of the book, they both had to work together to save Leonard’s nephew Felix, and that’s when the two of them became very close.

They didn’t really connect in the beginning, but as we kept reading, Isaac turned out to be a huge help to Leonard and without him coming to Leonard, he probably wouldn’t have done all what he did.

Information literacy is defined as the ability to know the information needed to research the task, then analyzing the research you have done to see if it is credible or not, and applying the research to your own work (Wesleyan, 2016). Without information literacy in today’s learning, anyone could take someone else’s work, give them credit as a reliable source and everything the source could have written, be something that is either plagiarized or completely made up. The role information literacy plays in this is under the analyzing section, that is where you apply the CRAPP test to determine if the source is really reliable or not. Once you can conclude whether the source is or isn’t creditable, you can then use the research that came with your source and incorporate it into your own work, of course making sure to give them credit. And always, without information literacy, there would be no research or knowledge to be put out in the open about history, because in order to know about events that happened in history, stories have to be passed down from generation to generation, and you always have to give credit to whoever told you, otherwise no one is going to believe
