Prologue of Bree


I admit it's a shame I don't find the time anymore to read, but it used to be my favorite passtime. These days I still read, mostly when someone else suggest a book to me every now and then or I have a reading for a class. It's by no means boring to me, I love to read. I espeically love long series, where you're along for this thought out adventure. In the past few years I've read The Hobbit, Harry Potter for the 9th time I think, and right now I'm starting Game of Thrones. So of course it's fair to say my favorite genre is fantasy but graphic novels are also a favorite.

Ready Player One

The topic of controversy in this novel is virtual reality, a rapidly developing area of technology that some say take people closer to technology than humanity these days. In a way it's correct, you start to disassociate more with real life when you spend most of your time in a place that is actually non existent. Virtual reality is amazing because it take the appeal of escaping real life to a whole new level in which you actually escape your reality, entering a controlled environment of which you may have a say in. Yet if you can do that you may want to spend less and less time in your own life, which can mentally really mess with a person. Imagine living in such an exciting virtual environment for so long that you decide your own life is simply a bore. Ready player one was honestly a grueling read for me. I've never been much into video games, but I know the feeling of drifting off into a daydream where nothing makes sense but I am the superhero. This books story seems like

Week 13, Curate yourself

If I had to choose a something important to share in the course i'd say it's important to be informed on the reality of how nutrition appears in media. Body Image is a very touchy issue in society, with different diseases becoming more dangerous noticeably in the US such as anorexia, bulimia, obesity, diabetes, ect. In the media you see many different types of people but most are actors. Thin, beautiful people whose entire profession is about appearing as desirable and ideal. It inflicts harmful eating disorders on influential mind. For example take the Kardashians affect on their crowd. I, personally, never actually understood the point of the show, but I've heard people talk about it. I always wonder what's so special about the Kardashians to create such the following that each member of the group has, when I realized it was their image. People are in love with the idea of the Kardashians for how they're portrayed in the media, such as their show or different maga
