A Recommendation

For the Non Fiction book Freakonomics, the content of the book was easy to understand but the way the book was written made it hard to read. The way the book jumped from subject to subject made it hard to comprehend the subjects of the book. For chapter 6 of the book named " Perfect parenting part 2; or: would a Roshana by any other name smell as sweet", had the least discussion. From, this chapter it was the least informational and the hardest to understand.The chapter explains how some person name their child after there economic make up. Meaning if it was a low income parent she or he may name the child Deandre for example. That may in return cause a child to never grow up to their name. For parents and the child i believe that they never would of thought that the name that was giving would have this affect. This chapter would help a parent that just had a child to understand the name issue that the generation may have about their name.This chapter was also about the social issue that some names can prevent some people from recieveing a job just by their name. In addition, the way the authors reinforced the thesis in the book made it easy to understand the chapter. I would only recommend this book to people that enjoy reading an out incentives. Also, if the person likes to figure out relationships between a real estate agent and a sumo wresler this is the perfect book.

Reading For Dummies 101

Reading can be an exhilarating event.  For my BC ( Business Communication) class we are reading a book name Freakonomics by “Steven D. Levitt and Stephen j. Dubner”. While reading this book there are terms and also very interesting content that I read, in addition to this annotation helps me summarize and understand the content that I have read. I also underline content and words that are very robust to help understand the content a little better or just to remember the word or content. Some advice that I have is to read the book in a quiet place or listen to music to help you to focus on the content of the book that you are reading. I use the method of listen to music; this helps me to stay focused on the task at hand and to drown out any noises that can be distracting.

 Staying on top of your reading for a class can be difficult and sometimes annoying thing. The way that I stayed on top of my reading was by keeping the reading schedule, to help me to remember the reading for that week or the next reading for the week. For a chapter that was assigned on a Monday I would read about 6 to 7 pages that night and throughout the week I would read anywhere from 5 to 12 pages depending on the pages of reading.
