My Favorite Book




My favorite book(s) are the seven collections of "Harry Potter", which is written by Joanne Rowling. Harry Potter is a fantastic book to read. For those who all love fantasy stories, this is your book. It combines multiple different themes such as death and love. They are very exciting and interesting. Harry Potter is the kind of book you pick up and cannot forget. If you ever buy Harry Potters' collections, do not start reading with the second or third book because you need to read all of them to fully understand what is going on. Harry Potters' collections are amazing, even though they are so long, they are worth reading them because there is a lot of creativity and imagination in them. I definitely recommend you reading them. 
My other favorite book is "Bats and Butterflies", written by Elijah Schkeiban who is my uncle. This is one of the best stories I ever read because it is filled with creatures, crystals, castles, glory, and because it is written by my uncle. This Story is similar to Avatar movie because it has been paraphrased by James Cameron, the director of Avatar. Elijah Shkeiban has been my inspiration for a long time, he thought me the meaning of thinking in a different way and outside the box. Bats and Butterflies is infinitely optimistic in the face of good versus evil. It is an old-fashioned fairy tale with a modern twist-trading cards of the characters. This book is not very famous, it is sold online though, but I guarantee you that you will be surprised once you start reading it. I suggest you to buy it and read it because it will be your favorite book too.

The End of Romance





Technology has been improving a lot during the past few years. Most of the young students and individuals in this world own a phone these days. Maintaining a cell phone is being able to communicate with other people all around the globe, whether it is texting or talking. 
This article written by Alex Williams is fascinating and correct. Social media, texting, Facebook messaging nowadays has affected many young individuals with the interpersonal communications. Young people these days are more nervous to talk to women face-to-face, because they do not have the experience of doing so. They feel more confident about texting women, because they can think about what they want to write before sending it. But if you’re having a face-to-face conversation, young man are nervous that she will reject him and make a fool out of him. In my opinion, I feel that younger generations prefer to communicate electronically rather than in person, because they feel more self-assured to think about what they are going to say. I would say that this is definitely the end of romance. 
Young individuals have the ability to ask more personal questions in texting rather than talking in person. They think it is easier to do. Dating referring to young people in our time is hard. They do not know how to act, whether it is a “classic date” or a “hanging out date”. Socializing with strangers is a really hard task to do, because you have to find out what they are interested in and what they like to do. 
Younger generations will certainly have difficulties to develop strong interpersonal skills for their personal and professional lives, because society did not teach them how to be confident and sociable to chat to people face-to-face, but they thought them how to communicate with electronic devices, and this is a very bad impression. 
I positively agree with the author’s headline, the end of romance, because this is precisely what is happening to young generations these days.

The New Underclass

















People go to universities to end up with a respectable job. But, analyzing this case, I just found out that graduates with excellent majors can not find a job. It is really depressing, because you are paying all this money to go to university, so you can live on a good income that will put your children into great schools and colleges. I agree with every detail of this article, because many young Canadians graduated with college and university education, and therefore they are working with a minimum wage at Sobeys and Wal-Mart to pay off student loans or debts. 

I am concerned with my future, because after reading people’s remarks about how tough it is to find a job, now I am worried. Therefore, I do not want to live the rest of my life working for a minimum wage. I paid a lot of money for college to be able to find a decent job, and if I do not get an excessive job that pays fine, then what was the whole purpose of accomplishing a degree?

Students with overwhelming skills will absolutely have an opportunity to find a prodigious job, rather than university graduates, because if they already have experience about this type of field, then companies are going to hire the people with skills, rather than hiring someone who does not have any experience. University will prepare you for the “real world”, because they will give you sufficient knowledge to help you succeed and direct you in the right path for your work field.
