“What studies tell us is that the single most important skill you can teach a child is to read...” this quote will reign true for all of time (Cantarella). Reading opens new possibilities, new mind-sets, and can change the heart. Although books can change the heart negatively, the positive change of heart that can come from books overshadows the negative. The places visited while reading are places that people can only imagine. Books can unintentionally capture the soul and captivate one’s mind.
community. In the novel, “the room is arranged in concentric circles.” (P.39). Furthermore, in the novel, “they are arranged in five sections, according to faction.” (P.40). Because of this arrangement, it bestows an extensive demonstration to the bibliophiles that the factions are bonded together and are living in prodigious conformity and tranquillity. Similarly, the factions are also arranged in five sections, according to factions in the film. Nevertheless, the difference in the film instigates due
A Critical Analysis of the Secret History of the Mongols This piece of literary work is one of the few surviving historical literature detailing about the Mongolians existence. The author is not known and even if people date it back to the year 1240, the real date when it was written and the literatures original title is still a debatable matter. Nevertheless, irrespective of these uncertainties, one thing is known to be for sure; the secret history of the Mongols is a piece of literary works that
Caucasian American, middle class, twenty four year old male of about average height and intelligence. I am sorry to say that I am among the 68.5% of adult Americans that fall into the obese category, weighing in at a whopping 345 pounds.

Personally, I feel that it is actually more interesting to examine how it
but it didn't do to well of a job keeping my attention. I found myself reading six pages, maybe more, and not having any recollection of anything that I had just read. All in all, I guess this book might be worth reading for a bibliophile, but for the average Joe, get a book more

Oh, English, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: I love thee much because I do not have to solve for “x” or dissect the gluteus maximus or associate with right-wing political extremists. I love thee for the oxford comma, the iambic pentameter, and the lady Sylvia Plath. But society does not love thee, and why, I do not know. The English major thrives with opportunities and is as self-satisfying as any other major. The world doth protest too much, methinks. Recently, I Google searched “major

The very first book I purchased with my own savings was Nancy Drew Files. I was eight then. I used to love spending my free time in the library as a kid, browsing different books of different genre. Over the years, I’ve considered reading as both luxury and a necessity. My relationship with literature has stayed strong despite the changes I’ve gone through in life as

Reading as a form of learning and as a leisure activity has been around for thousands of years. Ancient libraries were filled with countless records of information, and early authors wrote tales of heroic adventures. The organization and preservation of knowledge were done solely through books until recently. With the dawn of technology came the annihilation of books; as average people began purchasing their own handheld computers, a whole new world of knowledge became accessible within mere seconds
Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury warns of a futuristic society where all literature is destroyed under a kerosene flame and the citizens' freedoms are kept in check by the lack of written information. In fear of this kind of totalitarianism, many bibliophiles have fought against all manners of censorship, wielding the first amendment and the rights recognized by our fore-fathers. But with the technological advances of this the last decade of the twentieth century and the up welling of a new informational

Mankind has made great progression with inventions such as the television. However, as people dedicate less time to study or participate in sport, and dedicate more time to tune into their television, one might wonder if this is growth or decay. In "The Pedestrian", Ray Bradbury has decided to make a statement on the possible outcome of these advances. Through clever characterisation, themes and imagery, he shows that if society advances too greatly, then mankind may as well terminate itself. When
intriguing story of a futuristic American society where the people live without thought, feelings, or intellect. The story tells of Guy Montag who embarks on a journey that takes him from being exactly like his fellow firefighters into a driven bibliophile.

In "The Open Boat," nature shows us that men cannot control their future, and that it controls everything. This is the theme
a collective voice, that is completely omnipresent. What makes Capote’s novel literature, is the way that Capote uses the blurred line between the fantastical; he does not seek to write the grotesque and gory details, which might attract some bibliophiles, instead his writing functions to preserve the memory of the Clutter family, and in equal light the memory of what Holcomb, as a town once was, a place where doors stayed unlocked, and strangers were not feared. and the wrote the falling action
