First Reading

The World is A Text, is interesting. After I read the first few pages, I thought it was going to be sort of tedious. Being as though it kept repeating the same idea, but in different words. Since I was working out as I read, I was able to focus more on it because it helped distract me from how long I was on the machine! I found it interesting how the book brings different ways of interpereting and describing information. Also I appreciated the many examples, that were given to help explain the more complex meanings. It helps when you I can relate to whatever it is being taught to me.

The reading provoked me to think more deeply when coming across paper advertisements and commercials. I've noticed new things that I never picked up from advertisments that I've seen before. I feel like I can learn a lot from The World is A Text, it's already begon to change my ways of thinking.

All in all I have more positives than negatives, and can't wait to learn more.
