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…

small boy who plowed through books day and night, my mom scrambling to and from the library just to keep up with me. The only thing fixated on my mind was reading a new book and being totally captivated by the plot. Since then, I read less and less, sometimes going months without finishing a book. I feel sad that I spend less and less days staying up to midnight just to read one ... more … page. At this point in my busy life, the only reading I can complete is the books assigned in english…

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. When I got into it I realized it wasn’t a picture book that I was thinking about in my head. The beginning…

I don’t like to read, I only like to read books that I have to read if its work related, or for school. Growing up as a child my family did not read to. When I become older I had to do a lot of reading on my own. Like reading magazines, books, and the newspaper to be informative about things that I needed to know to be educated about in life. I don’t have any children at this moment but I hope to have children one day. And to be able to read books to them from a very early age in their lives. In…

challenged students. Sitting among my stacks of books with a personality molded by the stories I've lived through and information I've learned, I'm amazed at how far I've come during the past years. I can attribute this change to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. This book unlocked the vast and intriguing world of reading to me; it transformed me from a stubborn, temperamental, and borderline illiterate elementary schooler to an absolute book worm. It ignited my passion for reading and…

fiction? Is it at all similar? Why or why not? Every book is different. Some books lead the reader on a great adventure, others give advice on how to be a better basketball player. Both the books I read for this summer assignment provide an argument on how to be a better person and use stories in order to convey emotions to the reader, therefore making an argument about humankind. One of these novels was fiction, the other nonfiction. These two books while having similar goals go about…

began building a library of books and spending an increased time reading during middle school, I wanted to absorb as much knowledge as I could. I certainly would have qualified as an introvert then, but over time, my passion for reading has led to sharing and connecting with others in ways that would not have existed for a non-reader. My bookshelves hold wildly different styles of books, each influenced by…

I prefer to read books in this format, as I find it much easier to finish the book. The inside covers on both the front and back provide a very good synopsis of the book and gives us a breif sense of the books purpose. That purpose of which is to tell the story of Moses, more in-depth than most books would, going into details often left out and even the unimportant and mundane parts of his life. The book follows Moses as a infant, seperated from his people and…

What is different between live theaters and books? How are they similar, how are they different? We all know that books are almost always better than the movie, but what makes the book better. Is there a difference so big it changes everything, or is it the numerous little, discreet details. What we do know is that whether it’s the small things or the huge changes. There is something different between the two forms of entertainment and I’m going to find out what it is. In these two separate,…
