    According to The Norton Field Guide to Writing, “Everyone likes a good story” (Bullock, Goggin and Weinberg 393), and this holds true to me.

    Overall with the two videos, I saw how they made parchment from animal skins. It was unbelievable that the transition of the animal skin turns into a thick piece of paper to make a book. However, it is not a fast process when making it. The process of making the animal skins into parchment was they had to pick the right animal with the right skin texture. Then they put the animal skin in lime water for some days so the hair can loosen up and be scraped off for into a smooth surface. Then they…
