Areopagitica the very capacity of being the repository of what no book can contain because it can only be written in the fleshy tables of the heart” (Fish 583).

I-Pad’s VS. Textbooks/ Online Research Nothing but blank spaces all over me. This cold, hard feeling washed on my back out of nowhere. My legs lifted up and it felt as if I was lying vertical. I couldn’t move, I didn’t know what to do. Eventually this very sharp painful poke went all over my body like I had goosebumps, but not the good one’s either. The excruciating pain finally stopped after it felt like a lifetime. I eventually got away, away from this horrendous dream. Schools are…

was at my school in my language arts class wondering what book I should read next. I asked my teacher and she said there is a great book on my bookshelf. It is a graphic novel and it’s about WWII. At the time, I had no idea what a graphic novel was and why was she recommending a picture book to me when I’m in eighth grade. The book is called Maus. I found it and started to read it.
