The end is nigh

Over the time i've spent in class two things have happened. i have a new found respect for books..which could also be my girlfriends fault, either or. and i have an open mind towards criticism. To look past what has been said and to read the true meaning of the words. Seeing how we mostly read and talked about society and culture, or even the destruction of society and the mutation of culture. i now look around me and see how the generation that will succeed us are in a downward spiral to oblivion. I can see how corporations use and abuse us like so many tissues. all they care about is money and not our well being. i recently saw a movie on how CEO pay ratio to a normal persons pay is 310:1. 310:1!!!!! thats horseshit. because of this intro to lit class i now see how corporations use me and i no longer buy from huge organizations....unless i really have too.

A world without books would be a horrible, probably dimwitted place. Books open up a world inside our minds that challenge our imagination and creativity. In a world without books, most stories would probably be told by word of voice, or converted into a t.v show of some sort. How dim and uncreative we would be if every story we heard was displayed in front of us, no reading, no imagination, nothing but flickering lights and a talking box. I for one would greatly miss books, if you had asked me this a year ago i would most definitely have a far different answer, i appreciate books due to the fact that when you read the story everyone has a different image of the characters, how they talk, how they sound, smell, etc.. As an art major books have been a great inspiration to some of my more representational art. Unfortunately we have already started book burning. T.V has replaced books, most books now are being turned into movies so someone can just watch a movie and say that they know what has happened in the book. Wrong. books have so much more detail, emotion, and power. I can foresee in the future there wont be a paperback book, youll have to read books online or watch a movie rendition. This saddens me greatly.
