Choose an article from one of the sites to the right and explain why you find it interesting. Also, give a few examples of any books or articles you've read recently that you really enjoyed.  You like On The Road, tell me. We might read selections of it in class. 




I find that the article "Dow Touches 12,000 for First Time since 2008" interesting because its been a long journey since then. Roughly three years ago, our economy crashed and the whole nation was in a deep recession if not a minor depression. Tens of millions of jobs were lost and the future seems very dimmed. The housing crisis were catching everybody off guard and so was I because I was told that if you invest in home and land, it will never go down. That was wrong. Not only did it go down, people houses were being foreclosed. The article was also interesting to me because I'm majoring in accounting and the stock market is like a thrill ride to me. I watch it everyday since I was in high school and to reach 12,000 points coming from a mere 6000 points when the economy crashed is a very good indicator that our economy is slowly but surely going back up to pre-recession level.


I mainly read technology blogs like gizmodo, engadget, and macrumors. All of their articles are interesting to me. I love technology in general so if its about technology or anything from Apple I will probably read or heard of it already. One particular article in general that I read over and over again was when the iPhone 4 prototype was found in a bar in California. I thought that was the most ignorant but funniest mistake ever made by Apple who is known to be one of the most secretive companies in the world.
