Bryony Cole
National Year of Reading 2012

What do they all have in common?
And what do they have to do with reading?

They are all places I read about.
Before I visited.

A book can take you to new places,
Without you ever needing to go.

Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors.
– carl sagan

Reading can help you understand new cultures and people

Reading you can travel in the paths of those before you.

Then all this reading got me a pretty cool job.

Travel writing isn’t as glamourous as it looks.

The internet makes it easy to tell my own story.

The document discusses the Guardian's use of virtual reality for journalism. It notes VR's potential for immersive storytelling by allowing users to experience events firsthand and from different points of view. Examples are provided of VR experiences that place users in the perspective of a baby to understand their worldview and of a Syrian refugee discussing the heavy burden of that label. The Guardian aims to use VR to involve users more deeply in stories and give perspectives they couldn't otherwise access in order to further the impact of their journalism.

The conclusion is that successful architecture achieves emotional resonance by interacting with people's memories in a dynamic yet expressive way.

Discourse Community Angela Carter once said, Language is p.docxlynettearnold46882

��

Discourse Community Angela Carter once said, “Language is power, life and the instrument of culture, the instrument of domination and liberation.” In the Literacy, Discourse, and Linguistics, James Paul Gee indicated “language” is a misleading term, it too often suggests “grammar”. A person probably still does not know how to use a language, even though the person knows the grammar of that language perfectly. In the viewpoints of James Paul Gee, he suggested people must say or write the right thing in the right way while playing the right social role and hold the right values, beliefs and attitudes when people are using language. Gee called the combinations of saying (writing) – doing – valuing – believing as “Discourse”. Sometimes, people could not find out a comfort place of a group or community. As Gee said “We acquire this primary Discourse, not by overt instruction, but by being a member of a primary socializing group (family, clan, peer group). Further, aspects and pieces of the primary Discourse become a ‘carrier’ or ‘foundation’ for Discourse acquired later in life.” People should adjust themselves to fit in different communities. However, for some introverted people such as Ocean Vuong, they would choose to “surrender”. “Normally, my poor writing abilities would excuse me from such assignments, and I would instead spend the class mindlessly copying out passages from books I’d retrieved from a blue plastic bin at the back of the room. The task allowed me to camouflage myself; as long as I looked as though I were doing something smart, my shame and failure were hidden” Diagnostic Essay The summer after I graduated from high school I worked as an intern of JW Marriott Hotel in Shanghai, China. During that time, I helped to plan several Banquet &Wedding Event and International conference preparation. In the first morning of a busy week, everyone came to hotel early. Some people talked about their weekends to others while changing into their working suits. Some people were doing their own things or just relaxing. Everything was silent in few seconds after the “bald guy walked in. He was the manager. By the time, a 6 feet tall young man who wear a green flight jacket with black hair burst in the lobby. Everyone stared at him because he was panting and puffing. He said “Sorry for being late”. However, the bald guy did not say anything. After the “morning speech” of the “bald guy”, most people just ignored the new guy and headed into the work. There were also couple guys saying hello to him and want to pretend to be friendly. At this time, John came over. John was the foreman of the group and the person who always tour the new guy around to every part of hotel and introduce him to others. John said “Hey, how’s going man? I’m John. Do not worry about the first time late, it would be fine being early since now. Let’s start your first day.” When John walked him around, he seemed kind of nervous. He would touch his hair and bite lo.

Last Name 1 Name Professor Amy Schacht USEM 101 October 19, 2015 Travel In “Why I Travel” by Molly Sprayregen the view on traveling is that it is not about simply experiencing another culture, but about experiencing something new about oneself. When traveling it is a time to learn and try new things; it is about grasping the full idea on how little we all really know about the world we live in. Traveling teaches people how each and every person has a lot to offer others, and it helps people appreciate home and differentiate between what is important and what is not. A benefit would be on how Molly states how traveling helps you form a gut instinct on who you can trust, even if it was learned after trusting the wrong people along the way which was a cost to traveling. Another important point Molly made was on how anything that is worth doing in life tends to be accompanied by pain, whether it is physical or emotional. On another note, she also stated how it is from that pain, that we get a sense of joy. Then, in the second article about Deep Travel, it is on an interview with Tony Hiss. He states how Deep Travel is a state of mind in which you channel the feeling you get from traveling and use it to broaden our lives. It is a talent in which we are all born with and can easily access. From what I read, Tony is leaning more towards the fact that people do not need to travel to get a feeling of relaxation and so on. He states that reading can evoke a similar state of mind. From what he wrote the benefit would be that there would be no need to really travel anywhere, but a cost would be that you would not be experiencing anything new. Overall, traveling is an exhilarating thing to do, but it can easily be done from home. Deep Travel · You can get the same feeling from home. · Don’t experience, so much as thinking, reading, and remembering. · A talent. · A state of mind. · You can get a feeling of exhilaration from thought and feeling. “Why I Travel” · Traveling from place is the best way to get the full experience. · You learn about yourself, not just culture. · Something best done, not learned. · Helps form a gut instinct. · Helps clear what is really important, and appreciate home. · Both value traveling. · Life is simple. · You learn. · Teach what we do not know of the world. Why I Travel by Molly Sprayregen Recent graduate, University of Pennsylvania A few summers ago, my family took a trip to Africa. We kissed giraffes in Kenya, hiked into Rwanda's dense rainforest to see the mountain gorillas, and followed the migration through Tanzania's Serengeti. In those seventeen days, I fell in love with Africa, both the areas populated by wildlife and by humans. I have never stopped searching for ways to return. Just as we took off on our flight home from Tanzania, the final stop on our three-nation journey, our captain's voice came over the loudspeaker: "Ladies and gentleman, this is your captain speaking, if you look out your window t ...
