Literary Video Proposal

     I will be making a video encouraging people to read not just for the fun of it but to actually stay informed. There will be times when you can't just listen to the news and you have to go on with your day, the easiest thing to do is read. You could read a paragraph's worth of information and it would tell you just enough about the logistics and whatnot. Imagine reading several paragraphs and you would have already been able to know about different topics and been able to pass the information you learned to others. That's why I'm making a video to show how information being passed on comes from reading and letting others know through dialogue or text.

Reading Reflection

     I haven't ever been the biggest reader, but ever since my education at u of d started I have found a love for writing. I'm personally someone who likes to come up with their own theories and thesis', and u of d's education has taught me how to express myself and prove my arguments. I think writing essays can be a way of showing your brilliance despite whether or not you are book smart or very good with math and etc.     I'm not the biggest fan of books unless it is something that interests me, for example back in elementary when we could read any book of our choice I would read and be interested in as much percy jackson as I could get. Definitely my favorite book series and really brings back a lot of nostalgia for me. I started to get into realistic fiction books around middle school which is still my favorite genre. It all started with the outsiders which was a book that I could relate to and never feel like I was bored or not interested in while reading....

Contemporary Literature Course Reflection

     I didn't sign up for Contemporary Literature and ended up in the class randomly, I didn't have much expectations not knowing what I was getting into. My favorite novel was Please Ignore Vera Dietz as it was the most relatable especially for the class that were in for young adult literature. My favorite project to do in the class was our daily reading minutes, definitely a unexpected one but you get to see what type of person everyone is through the books they have read and their worldview growing up. People who like to have conversation with their friends while reading or even watching a show would like this class as their are daily group conversations going into depth about our feelings on the book currently being read. Someone who can make the time to read every night should be taking this class but if you know that you can't do that I wouldn't recommended it.
