1. What groups or populations might experience technology as a barrier to accessing career planning resources? How might technology be a barrier? What are potential solutions? First, I believe that technology can become a barrier to accessing career planning resources because not all students are going to be able to have access to a computer or Internet. Majority of career resources and information can be accessed online and limited access to a computer is a large deterrent for students. It…

I read the book It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. It is about a young boy who battles anxiety. The book is also full of very many lessons that are important to all of today’s teenagers. Things like dealing with your problems and being in control of your own life. Ned Vizzini the author of this book began writing at the young age of 15. Vizzini’s first publishing job was with The New York Press. When Ned was 19 years old, he published his very first book, Teen Angst? Naah… which ended…

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,…

The Dawn at Isawa in Kai Province is a painting in a collection of works titled Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji, by artist Katsushika Hokusai between 1830-1833. However, even though the series is named thirty-six views, Dawn at Isawa in Kai Province is the fifth of an additional ten paintings added onto the original set of thirty-six due to the overall popularity of Katsushika Hokusai’s work. The series, as the title states, contains thirty-six various views of Mt.Fuji and the areas surrounding the…

remember walking into my local mall growing up and begging my parents to take me to the bookstore after the toy store. Most children of today will never know the excitement of thumbing through a new paperback book on their way home. The popularity of E-book is becoming more and more popular with society. For hundreds of years, books were the main source of entertainment. Now today, the inventions of such things as the television and computer games, it seems like picking up a paperback book is…

I am obsessed with reading romance novels. To know me is to know my screen time is not filled with twitter, snapchat, or U tube. No my screen time, and there is a lot of it, is filled with reading the books the likes of Prep, by the author Jenny Han or The Summer I Turned Pretty by the author Curtis Steinfield. And yes, without a doubt, I know before I reach page fifty, how the book will end. True there is always a teen age girl at the center of each book who ends up finding herself once she…

There’s nothing high school students hate more than having to do school work over the summer. My classmates and I never had to do much. That is, until the summer before ninth grade. Upon receiving the list of potential literary works, students often based their selections on two criteria: which novel is the shortest and which one can be explained by his/her parents who’ve already read it. Assignments were distributed before the end of the prior academic year, and were to be completed based on…

Writing and marking up books is a very strange and uncomfortable concept to many people. From a very young age, people have been taught that writing in a book would take away from the literature. However, after reading “How to Mark a Book” by Mortimer Adler, I feel differently about what I was once taught. Adler makes it known that by marking books will help us all become a better reader by being more engaged with the literature. Adler coins the term “writing between the lines”. This to me is a…
