The last book I read was "Mostly Harmless", I read this book because the librarian thought it could be a book I would like. This book is part of a series called the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. It is a funny series that shows how something illogical can be made into a book.I read the whole series and I really enjoyed it. The author is dead, so understandably he will write no more books.
People read books to do something funny and relaxing. Playing electronic games hurts your eyes and listening to music hurts your ears, so the only thing that you can do continuously is reading. While reading you exit the world to enter the book. You leave a common life to enter the strange and adventurous life of the main character. Words are only tiny signs, but the reader sees in those signs entire stories that help him crack the monotonous life.
Reading was first invented to record things. in the ancient times you read books to learn and not to enjoy. Reading a book will always make you learn something.You could learn moral in the books for infants, a fact that happened in a history book, or a story in a fictional book. Nothing teaches more than a book. Also teachers use books to help them, because the memory of humans is limited while the books hold what was written in them until they are destroyed or harmed.
Electronics will never take the place of books, playing electronic games hurts your eyes, body, fingers or ears, so the playing is limited. The pixels that flash on the screen tire your eyes. Reading books can be a thing that never ends, you can read until you get annoyed, and with some books this never happens . You can pass entire days reading, but you can play only a few hours at electronic games.
Books where created first of technology, and they will exist for ever to give humanity the possibility to remember.

Adriano - interesting ideas re. reading vs. video games. I enjoyed the lines abour leaving this world to enter the world of a book. Do check spelling & organization before posting the next blog. - Witter
Adriano, again there are good details in this writing. It needs some editing to 'smooth' the language and structure and make it more readable. I expect this skill to come over time; it is not something that hugely impacts your grade right now. Corrections: period after title of last book read. Skip lines between paragraphs if the system will not save your indentations. Sequencing is off - talk about the past before talking about the present or future. Decide what your points will be, then support them. Do not simply freewrite as it makes writing unorganized. Thanks, Ms Witter
Dear 8th grade,
I will come around on Tuesday and give you a printed copy of the current Blogger assignment. It will be due Thursday. I do not forsee us getting computer lab time, so plan on either writing or typing at home. Sorry for the confusion; I should have checked the calendar before assigning work to be due on a day we are not at school. Please contact me with questions if needed. Otherwise, have a great weekend & I will see you all Tuesday!
Ms. Witter
