Multiple Source Paper Main Idea For Paper

My Plan is to research The typic area of E book vs Tradictional book publishing. I will make a strong attemp to prove all my claims that the E book is much more convenyet than working with any tradictional book publishing Company. My first claim is that E Book can hold held in your hand not all of the tradictional book that have been made can be held in one hand. E Book can be brought with programs and many books already downloaded on them.Many Tradictional book must be ordered and shipped out, or ordered and picked up from a location. Unlike the new technology found with using E Book where a person can just pay on line cost for the book and have the book downloaded within minutes if not even seconds. The tradictional way of book publishing is not desided to work as quickly as the E Book.I would like to also share that mostly all book publishing company want an entitlement to the rights of all books published by their company. E book allows the Author to keep all entitlement. My Claim is that Author's should look into E Book and away from tradictional book publishing companies.

I see the importance of wording to relate to your target market in written format, as well as making sure to watch how I use quoter's and paraphrase's. I now see the importance in writing language style and format. I also want to start incorporating all the things I have learned as far as technology and how technology relates to writing in an essay format style.

“How has Technology worked in my Life?”

I personally feel that without technology I could not get a lot completed in one day’s time. For example: Handing in my class room assignment by the end of today after class is now over. We as a class do not meet up again until Monday. Without technology the problem with that would be that today is Friday and my teacher has already gone home I’m sure but, gratefully we do have technology of internet, wireless internet, and e-mail. Thanks to these sources of technology, I can now just send a message with and attachment to my teacher's e-mail address, or either, e-mail her from my phone, or my lap top, or a computer in one of the many computer labs on campus. I think I have proved my main point don't you agree how else could we get our homework done either on time or ahead of time this easy without technology?

My Battle with Literacy

Introduction
Hello my name is Aiyana Luke, and today I am here to talk to you about my battle to gain literacy. I will be covering ground of my life battle with literacy from elementary to my now college career. I will talk to you about the impact of family, friends, and teacher in this battle. I will also share both ups and down in this process to gain the ability to both read and write.
Body
I like to first start off with a short story about my upbringing and environment for you, so that you can see all the parts of my life that played a major role in my fight to gain literacy. I was born in Kansas City MO. I lived in a low-income inner city area from grades K-5 in this area is where I attended school. Crime rates where high in my school district, a basic bus ride to school involved fights for seats or sections, swearing, throwing things from the front to the back of the bus. Even the bus driver was fearful to address the behavior of the student on the bus do to  the reports of past bus drivers being assaulted.  
After the long bus ride to school I finally arrive to the long walk in order to get to the front door of the elemertry school then there were other problems I had to face both drug dealers and gang members were there waiting to sell drugs or try to get children to join their gangs. Some of the children at school during that time I attended were forced to sell drug or were being bullied into selling drugs and joining gangs.

 After pasting these 2 obstacles there would be more to press by in the pushing and shoving in the hallways in order to get to my classroom. Once I finally got to class I had to find my seat and some children would not listen in class or sit down, some would throw things at the teacher’s some would swear at the teacher’s, some would hit the teacher’s, so this made it hard for me to trust that trying to gain education in reading or writing or in any area for that matter would ever be easy. At this point in time of my life battle with literacy. I felt like it would never be easy nor would it every be safe to gain education in literacy. this is sad but very ture the very thoughts of learning in a safe place being reality never entered my mind as an option at this time. I just though this must be the way school is because the teacher's or not doing anything to change it better yet stop it. So this is just the way it is and I just have to deal with it because if I go home and tell my mother or call my father on the phone and tell them what's going on I know that they will be making a trip up to this school in order to make their own changes and it would not be by following the law so to keep peace. I kept quite went to class and did what so ever work I could get done at the time I did not understand all of the work given. But because I was respectful and did what I was asked I kept getting passing grades at lease up until the 2nd grade and then big problems began. My mother and father started hearing about the crazy thing going on in the public school system. So they made and agreement to work together in order for me to attend a privite school about five to seven blocks from the house we lived in at that time.These or just a few of the battles I had to endure from K- 5 to gain literacy.

Activity 3 for Tuesday, January 18th


Answer the following questions:
  • How did you learn to read?  
Well my father paid for me to attend a school that would accommodate my needs to learn when I moved in with him for the summer I was 12-years-old and could not read. At that school they provided visual aids such as flash card, hands on projects with call and response such as repeat after me, and quietly reading to ourselves in class.

  • Who helped you learn to read?
My mother tried but her approach was just not working. I can truly say that school that my father paid for me to attend in the summer changed my life and thought me how to read.

  • What were some favorite books, subjects, and stories and why?
Book about the history of blacks in American and that was because that was most of the books my father had in his home at the time.

  • What were some memorable experiences with reading (good or bad)?
The first time I was able to read a letter to my father without asking “Daddy what is this word.” What a great feeling and the smile on his face just lit up my world.

  • How did you feel about reading in elementary, middle, and high school? Why?
I hated it because my teacher’s know that I was struggling with reading and would call on me and make fun of me in front of my classmates this is why to this day I am very uncomfortable reading aloud.

  • What kinds of reading do you do now?
I love real faith base book or life stories that or non-fictional

  • How do you approach reading a textbook?
I have to read a textbook more than once to get all its fullness and understanding.

  • How has your attitude toward reading changed throughout the years?
I am still working on building my reading skill. Because when it comes to reading aloud I still have some issues I think people will laugh at me. I know this is something that I have to overcome but I am working on it.
