The Internet has made it a lot harder, even for Literature Majors, to stay concentrated on and finish one piece of reading in a sitting. Carr states that he feels as if someone is changing the way he thinks. He goes on to say that he used to “spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That’s rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages.”
It is true that as we have a lot of information available to us, it becomes harder to focus in one source. However, there are probably some other factors that are making him and his friends to be less concentrated such as age. It is a fact that attention is getting weaker because of the age. Also, maybe they are reading in a wrong place. For instance, when I read a book in my bedroom where I am always alone, I get completely focused in my reading, but If I will try to do the same thing in the living room with my family watching TV, I will not pass
Silence is a double-edged sword. One oftentimes wonders what life would be like if deprived of the unbearable light of city life, often yearning for the comfort one feels in a realm free of distraction and noise. Yet, only ten minutes go by, and silence becomes too heavy a burden. A message comes in, and the notification sound jolts our senses. Being dead to the world for ten minutes is somehow enough to make one crave the symphony of noises of the outside.
Over the course of two hours, the audience is drawn into the

I get distracted easily and lose track of what I’m reading when a passage contains a lot of small details, so listening to an audio version helps me keep track of where and what I’m reading. Another helpful source is SparkNotes for broadening my understanding of important symbols when I’m confused. In addition partner and class collaborations assisted me the most in engaging with the text and symbols because it allowed for me to collect various answers, opinions and clarifications of symbolism, characters, events and more in
ASAM 100 has been one of the most insightful classes I have taken in college—so far! Through this class, I was able to learn a great deal about my culture and about myself as a person. In retrospect to my first “Why ASAM?” essay, I still believe that it is important for everybody to learn about their culture sometime throughout their life. I was able to learn about various topics such as: the issues of my culture, the traditions of my culture, how others view individuals of my culture, and more. Throughout this class, I learned about the Model Minority Myth and its effect on individuals of Asian background, I learned about issues that other Asian Americans faced through the video, Asian American Voices, and I learned to grow as a writer.
Simply concentrating has become hard to do. “The deep reading that used to come naturally has became a struggle.” (Carr 731) Carr feels as so his mind is being influenced by the technological advancements. Even as a writer he still struggles reading a book, because of the lack of concentration he now has.
The thought of being able to hear everyone 's’ thoughts, all the time is truly terrifying. This is the case for all the men in the novel The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness, this ability to hear everyone’s thoughts is known as “the Noise”. The setting of Prentisstown on New World is a town filled with nothing but lies to the protagonist, Todd Hewitt. The characters in the novel are constantly trying to manipulate others to get them to do as they want, especially Aaron, an old fashioned run down preacher at Prentisstown’s church and the mayor of Prentisstown. The minor themes in “The Knife of Never Letting Go” come together to help present the main theme of the novel.
However, within hockey, one period is fifteen minutes, and therefore while I was reading I saw a bunch of excitement from both the players and the fans because the Rangers scored twice. To a certain extent, I didn’t even know what I was reading. In fact, I could be ninety percent sure that my eyes were more directed to the TV than Burreson and Couteur’s book. Moreover, the auditory distraction also bothered me the most because I couldn’t distinguish the noises coming from my living room to the words in my head. In fact, there was even a moment that I tried to cover my ears in hopes that it will allow for some minimal concentration.
Finally, when I write I sometimes use bad word choice. I use words that are for younger people than me and should be using older words. My solution to being distracted is, try to block out what is distracting
On september 7 ,2036, Trump has officially been president, for what it seemed to be the longest six years of my life. He started to deport Mexicans back to Mexico even if they were not immigrants. As time went on I got more scared that Trump would send my family back to mexico. It was the first feeling I had as we watched someone we knew or someone down the street get taken everyday. It started to be a regular thing until I saw the government that I had once trusted beat a man who wouldn 't leave his daughter behind.
Spring break was the time I chose to monitor how effective or ineffective my listening skills were, which seemed like the perfect time to see if my behaviors changed in situations with low and high stress levels. I spent the first half of break, March 8th-14th, getting an adequate amount of sleep (8-9 hours) and relaxing with my entire body becoming one with my couch while watching new episodes of my favorite shows on Netflix and Hulu. I spent the latter half of break, March 15th-18th, traveling to Washington DC for the McNair Scholars Program Conference in which just about every single hour of our day was packed with presentations, keynote speakers, and breakout sessions. When I was at home, my poor listening behaviors were primarily due to my un-interest in the topic and these behaviors occurred mainly over the phone while talking to my mom. There were times when she would delve deeper into a topic that I really didn’t
