WEEK 3 BOOKS

The three most influential books for me was THE THIEF LORD, HARRY POTTER series, and 1984. Thief lord by Cornelia Funke, this book is influential to me because this is the very first chapter book i read. This book opened my eyes to other books. Harry Potter series, by J.K Rowling,  These books was my second stepping stone to reading because these series was the longest series i ever read. I thought i would never finish. These books were so long And hard to understand words that i almost gave up, But no i never gave up. These books made me realize that reading should be fun. The bigger the book, the more fun you will have with it. My final book is 1984. There is one reason why this book made my list of most influential books. This book had the ugliest cover. At first i did not even want to read it. But in the end i read and i loved it. This book made me relize never judge a book by its cover.

WEEK 1 Media Autobiography

This my first time studying or even thinking about media. I just use it without thinking why and how it got here. The eight types of media is books, magazines, newspapers, recordings, movies, radio, television and internet. I start by talking about books, books are great. They bring your imagination step foward. i read a lot and i have a big collection of books at home. Magazines, magazines are not my prefence. Out of these eight this is my least favirote. The problem with magazines it has way too much adverisment. Newspapers, newspapers is my second least favriote out of these eight media. I dont have time to read the newspaper. it is faster just watching the news. Recordings, well i play in a band. The band is called Portuguese band of San Jose and in this band, every year we record a CD. Also i download a lot of music into my i pod. Out of these eight this is my third favorite. Movies, movies is great. I watch movies every time i have free time. Out of these eight this is my favorite. Radio, radio is the most important media i have. i keeps me from going insane in traffic. Television, i watch it every night before i go to sleep. The problem with television is all the ads. It seems like every minute there is an ad. Internet, internet is important to me. i use it every minute of my life. I never had a job in the media but i use it every time. My major is speech/communications. ill be transfering into San Jose state
