Mortimore made Literature Fun!!

This semester I was a little nervous about taking a literature class because I ABSOLUTELY HATE TYPING PAPERS!!!!! But getting to this class I really enjoyed it. She made the readings relate to our everyday lives. I loved ready the books, although some were confusing in the beginning. My favorite thing about the class was that she listened to us, and she knows what students like as far as learning and keeping the class in tuned and up while lecturing. Learning that we are becoming the dumbest generation and that using a lot of technology makes us ignorant to hard work. The readings suprised when I noticed hw well the readings actually connected to us. My favorite reading was "The Hunger Games". Another reading that was nice was the "Feed". These reading explained to us that we are living in ways that will soon effect us. In the feed it was mainly targeting the fact that we depend on technology and we are becomming dumb to the world around us. The Hunger Games explained that we watch to much reality television. Watch the Drama, the fights, and watch the crying. Why must we watch it? What are we getting out of it? Having this class really allowed me to questin my self and what Im doing in my life. I Love Professor Mortimore, and I loved the class. I enjoyed my group members too!!! This class was exellent.

A World With No Books?????

A world without books would be horrible. Although I do not like to read to my self, I find it fun when reading to a child. I know LOTS of people who actually enjoy reading books and its their hobby. I think that books have excellent descriptions and detail that all movies do not. Books are not the enemy but they are not fun (all the times). Majority of the time, I only pick up books when required for a class which an assignment or test was given. If you place a text book in front of me I will not open it unless it is math or something of the sort. I do not read novels or I do not like literature. Well I must say that I love African American literature. The literature that is from or talks about slavery or even Science.  But I must say that People will not have intellect if that were to happen.

The Hunger Games, I must say was one of the best books that I have read thus far. I remember saying that, reading is the subject that I hate most, and that I never sit down and decide to read a book. This book was very exciting, I didn't want to stop reading. In my opinion, no other book that we have read thus far is like this one. Maybe feed was close but this had my eyes glued and I would want to see the movie and read books that follow the first one. Reading this reminded me of the show "wedding wars" and how they compete for the wedding of their dreams. I chose this show because their was one episode where they had to eat this cake with dog food in it. http://www.vh1.com/video/wedding-wars/full-episodes/episode-3/1660663/playlist.jhtml
