Class Highlights

One of the most interesting things I learned was that newspaper companies never say "Stop the presses." I figured before they would say it all the time to change something last minute. Another thing I found interesting was Hanifs power point presentation. His presentation gave a good idea on how censorship was in Iran. The last and most interesting thing I learned this quarter was from my own presentation and how internet piracy began and how it developed.

Books

If i have to list three books that influenced me it would definitely be harry potter, the bible and sadako and the thousand paper cranes. Harry Potter influenced me because I began reading it in elementary school. It was a adventure book that took me on a adventure all the way until high school. The bible was inflectional because my parents are Christian and I had to read it and thats about it. sadako and the thousand paper cranes was influential because this was the first non picture book that I have ever read.
