    In the classic book The Sneetches, Dr. Seuss tells a story about biases and the desire to fit in. The star-bellied Sneetches look down upon the non-star-bellied Sneetches. “With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort ‘We’ll have nothing to do with the plain belly sort!’” With the invention of a star on and star off machine, a cunning entrepreneur capitalizes on the Sneetches desire to fit in (and later to stand out) by adding stars to the bellies of the Sneetches without stars. Seuss’ book is a reminder that most people prefer to blend with the herd as opposed to stand out in an effort to avoid the critical eye of others.…

    It’s interesting, really, to see some of my old papers from middle and high school. I look back and laugh at the time, maybe around the third grade, when my classmates and I would groan and complain about having to write an ENTIRE PARAGRAPH. Now, after years of writing significantly longer academic papers that stretch far beyond a simple paragraph, my style and the depth of my topics have evolved based on what I’ve read. The most important pastime for anyone who wishes to write, unsurprisingly, is to read a wide variety of material, starting at a young age. Studies have shown that children who read more than their peers exhibit a larger vocabulary as well as more complex writing styles.…

    When I was young I was never the best at reading even though my parents owned many books and magazines that they read on a daily basis. My mother enjoyed reading her gossip magazines that she would receive in the mail once a month and my father had a whole bookshelf full of history books. My parents would always encourage me to read the books I would check out at the school library to improve my reading and writing but that advice usually went in through one ear and out the other. The only books I would really attempt to read had to be humorous or horrifying, my favorites were the Goosebumps collection. I loved reading these books alone in my room where I couldn’t be sidetracked by all the commotion that went on in my house.…
