What are the three most important texts/chapters you’ve read in this class and why are they so important to you?
The three most important readings for me would be the transitions chapter from TSIS, Big Organic from TOD, and the Asimov/Sedaris readings. TSIS being a very useful guide for writing essays has been a great help in my developing literacy skills, the specific chapter taught me how to making my essays and paragraphs more fluid like in that they flowed well from one sentence to the next. Thus making it easier and more pleasent for others in reading my work. This chapter really strengthened my writing abilities, I found significantly important since it connects the parts of ones writing hence making a essay. The Big Organic chapter from TOD was important to me because it revealed that even things that are labeled organic are labeled like this only to beguile the costumer into purchasing a product that necessarily is not much healthier and natural then the product that doesn't. Another benefit of reading this chapter which made it important was that I have friends who criticize people who do not. When I told them of what i had found out their opinions on organic and non organic had drastically changed.
The final reading that I found important was the Asimov and Sedaris texts. Both of these texts spoke of intelligence and have it differs from field to field, in other words intelligence doesn,t mean that one person is smarter overall it means that intelligence can be specifically connected to ones specialization. Theses are all important because they deal with literacy "the ability to understand and construct communication that is applicable to a specific subject matter". People develop different kinds of communication that varies from cultures to occupations, having the ability of literacy in a certain field makes one intelligent.
