Hey there!

That's an amazing question.

Below's my answer:

Let's compare and contrast these books (focusing on education and communication).

<u>The Story of My  Life</u>

  • Written by Hellen Keller
  • Author discusses her many constraints in growing up
  • Education was available, but, until she learned Braille, life was hard
  • She found it hard to communicate
  • 1st person autobiography
  • Describes how her life was changed with Anne Sullivan
  • Has extraordinary language (high-leveled)

<u>Maniac Magee</u>

  • Written by Jerry Spinelli
  • Talks about an White orphan who runs away to a small town in Pennsylvania, Two Mills
  • Education was there, Grayson offered, Maniac refused (he was the only White)
  • Is shy
  • Describes how Maniac's life was changed when he went to Two Mills (Mars Bar, Amanda Beale, et cetera)
  • Uses slang to convey tone, mood, and theme

Looking at the above points, we can presume that both <u>Maniac Magee</u> and <u>The Story of My Life</u> discuss the struggles that occur when growing up (education and communication) when you are seen differently.

Write an essay explaining how modern technology has changed the way people stay informed about current events.
Vlada [557]

Do you ever wonder how people don't always know what is going on? Well to start off, today's technology is more advanced, capturing people's attention much more than before. This is all mainly because of Quality, Effects, and Apps.

First, lets talk about quality. Back in the days in the 1900s people had to watch TV with not much good quality. The people weren't as interested into the TVs back then, but it was the main thing to watch at the time. But since it was the main thing to watch, people would check the news and be informed about events happening a lot. Nowadays we don't check the media for current events because of all the good quality we have on videos, games, unless it pops up and grabs our attention.

Secondly, effects are something that also keeps us from staying informed about current events. When we watch movies, y0utube, and play games, on laptops and phones, we enjoy the effects that are in those because it makes everything seem cool and appealing, which is slowly starting to drive our mindset away from events. For example, in the movies there are lots of actions and moments that require green screens to be used and edited. Back in the day there weren't much effects to use like how much there is now.

Lastly, Apps are the main things that changed us from staying informed about current events. On go0gle play store there's like over 2 million apps on there, and for all ages. BUT, lots of the apps are helpful because there are news apps. On there you can be updates about the current events that are happening, and what you should or can do. There are also educational apps that help us learn. On the other hand, most of the apps are mainly for entertainment and not useful purposes. When we are on apps, we forget about current events and just focus on the app mostly.

In conclusion, The main reasons how modern technology has changed the way people stay informed about current events is because of Quality, Effects, and Apps.
