Tony Abbott grew up with books in the house, as he has two parents who taught. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio with a brother was a great reader, and his father always wrote so the clicking keys of his father's typewriter made for the background music of Tony's childhood. The most important thing to know about the man is that he loves reading and books. He has learned a lot from all the books he has read and his library of books is quite vast. When he was eight, his dad got a job as a professor, teaching American history, which forced him and his family to relocate to Fairfield Connecticut. Both Tony and his brother would go to the University of Connecticut where Tony would go through two majors (music then psychology), before he would decide…
me the world 's made up in books were so much more interesting than the real world. They were better, brighter, and full of magic. My love of reading from a young age was the foundation to so many other branches of my personality as well. I read so much that understanding words and writing them was almost like as easy breathing. One of the first people to introduce me to the world of literature was my 2nd grade teacher Mrs.Gross. One of my first memories of ever picking up a book was in her…
In 2013, I wrote the False Prince book series. The first book, The False Prince, would make a great movie, along with the other two books in the series. The plot, characters, and setting are just some of the things that would make The False Prince a great movie. The False Prince begins in the kingdom of Carthya where a boy named Sage has been orphaned. He gets around by trying to steal items like bread and meat, because the food served at the orphanage is not exactly what you would call…
As a child, literacy to me was more of a way to acknowledge words, for writing was the ability to portray them. As I get older, I realize it is not all that simple. I have come to a realization that reading is more about interpreting a language and making it mean something that makes sense for myself. Writing is often the inverse of that, creating a written word or phrase that will mean something and make sense to others. Growing up reading and writing was something I did for enjoyment rather…
Narnia, a household name for a book series written by C.S. Lewis. The book series includes seven books. I chose it for my book report because the story is intriguing and it can trick you into thinking that a world like that could be real. It takes places during world war two, in England. The siblings were moved to the uncle's house in the countryside. During a rainy day, the children play hide and seek. The youngest, Lucy, hides in a wardrobe. She finds an icy world, a world that would be…
The Stanley Parable has an excellent standard engagement curve. For this paper two curves will be talked about. First, the broad engagement curve, where the curve is the title and content is the episodes. This curve is based on discovery. Second, the finer engagement curve, where the curve is the episode and the content of the graphs are the segments. This curve is based on the engagement type of catharsis. Both curves are determined by the tension created in the game, and naturally only works…
Choosing between a collection of books to take the one I enjoy the most, is tough. In this case, mine is a whole new world in which not too many people seem encouraged to enter, either because they don’t enjoy reading or if the book is not of their interest. The Mara Dyer series by Michelle Hodkins is a whole new mixture between genres like mystery, suspense, romance and thriller that will keep the reader on the expectancy to know what will happen next. Mara Dyer as a 17 years old teenager has a…

The arm was distorted and had a series of rectangular shapes to form the arm, which bass considered to represent drug addiction. Preminger however disagreed with Bass over which animated sequence with the arm looked the best. Bass argued that “the sequence fell flat without animation” but Preminger disagreed. The official compromise was “staccato-like movements as the arm segments maneuvered through the visual progression”. After this compromise, the sequence went down as a classic in American…
