THE END

Looking back I believe that this class has given me back the joy of reading. I somewhere lost the will to read for enjoyment but through this class I have found it again. I believe that through this class I have really learned to not only read books but to relate them to things from the past, present, and even the future. I really enjoyed working with my group (Group 8 we're great!!) we not only helped each other if one of us were confused in a part of a book but really tried to look into the true books meaning. Overall, I really enjoyed the class and most of the readings. I learned not only to enjoy reading again but to look into literature in a more analyzing way. However, I am looking forward to the end of this semester and the start of summer.

A World With No Books

 Even though I may not read books as often as some people I believe the world would not function well without books. We do not only use books for leisure but we use them to learn. Without books how would we learn? Our education is based off of information that teachers get out of books. And it my seem irrational but how would we read and spell without books? We may learn the basics but without books we can not constantly learn and retain information. By having website such as Spark Notes we burn books everyday because we take away from the meaning of what reading is all about. You can easily learn the main facts about a book but not truly appreciate it.
