convergences.
When i first bought this book I thought it was going to be really boring. I thought to myself, "wow, this book should be interesting since it cost so much". But as I started reading it, it actually wasn't that bad. I find it kind of interesting. At first I didn't know what the word convergences meant or what they meant when they said "medium". But after reading the pages I found out the true meaning. After learning what convergences meant, I was surprised of how that word can be used into the writing language. The thing I enjoyed reading about most or the thing I found the most interesting was how the book explained to us the difference between message, method, and medium. I loved the different ways people propose to each other and explaining it to me that way gave me a lot better understanding of what those words mean. One thing that is hard for me to understand is finding the purpose if a story. In convergences it talks about finding the purpose of a story, a painting, a poem, etc. For me it is sometimes hard to "think outside the box". So this is one thing I would definitely like to get better at. The last thing I actually like about this book so far is that there are a ton of illustrations. I am very much a visual learner and having those paintings and drawings and such really help put things into prospective for me.

Hey - it's not THAT expensive - some of these composition readers are pushing $100 now!
ReplyDeleteNice post, Kelsey. You'll have a chance to talk about being a visual learner in Essay 2, when we write about learning styles.
