Convergences & why i write

I am very impressed with the convergence book. When we were first told that it was the assigned reading I was kind of upset because I thought it was going to be another boring book. But I was definitely wrong this book is kind of interesting. I was also impressed how straight forward it was. This book gets right down to the point. I think we all have something to learn from the book. It challenges us to think about what we are reading and and to truly analyze it. It also encourages us to think critically about music, media, and advertisements and to try to figure out what they are saying. How they are saying it and why it is delivered in a certain way. These can be very useful tools to have not only in college but in the workplace as well. Employers are always looking for people who can think critically and really analyze a situation. So over all I think this book is going to be really useful.
I also read the short story why i write. It was interesting and made me think. I never really thought of writing as having to do with the temporal and less with abstract ideas. Thats probably not what the story was suppose to make us think about but I became fixated on that idea as I read the rest of the story. I agree with that idea but I also disagree. Most storys deal with concrete examples so they are not abstract. But if a story has some sort of moral like freedom for example it then is dealing with an abstract idea because freedom is not tangible. Overall I thought it was a good story.
