I recently came up with a new story and immediately thought: “It would fit perfectly into a computer game!”. Then I paused for a moment and wondered why I was so sure.

Why is this story suitable for a computer game and not as a book or short story?

What’s the difference?

And what are the similarities between computer games and books?

The similarities

Structure

The structure of books and video games (made by game developers such as Junub Games) is often very similar. At the beginning characters and conflicts are introduced, then for one reason or another, there is an escalation and works toward a tense climax (usually towards the middle or after two-thirds of the plot). After climaxing, the action slows down and the protagonist develops a (new) plan to act against the antagonist. In the end, he wins or loses spectacularly and the story is over.

One or a few protagonists

As in a book, you have to be able to identify with the character to be played in a game. This takes a certain amount of time and that’s why you usually stay with one protagonist. From time to time there are sequences in which you slip into the shoes of a supporting character for a short time, but they are usually short. Spontaneously I remember:

• Uncharted – A Thief’s End, where you play Sam Drake (Nathan Drake’s brother) for a short time, who breaks out of a prison, or
• Assassin’s Creed (especially in the earlier titles), where you leave the main story again and again and have tasks to do outside the animus.

“Narrator”

The narrator is an interesting thing in video games because you experience the story yourself, so you could argue that you are your own narrator.

However, I would say that you experience a game fundamentally differently, depending on how the camera is set. In this case, the camera is comparable to the narrative perspective. Third person and you still see your own character in the picture (e.g. Tomb Raider, The Last of Us) or first person and you see through the eyes of your character (any first-person shooter, but also many horror games). The camera work is a stylistic device, like the narrative perspective in a book, which contributes to the experience of the story.

It gets especially interesting in video games when you have an unreliable narrator. Think of amnesia, where perception changes the more insane you get. Or again Uncharted – A Thief’s End, where the entire sequence with Sam Drake is a lie.

Own worlds

Often, especially in the adventure, fantasy, and sci-fi genres, own or completely new worlds are developed. Although they are visually easier to represent than on paper, the work is the same. A game with insanely great world-building, for example, is Dishonored. I don’t want to anticipate anything but just say once: Similar to a book, good worldbuilding contributes to a wonderful atmosphere and can even make an average story something very special.

Question

Every video game with a good story also has an underlying question or topic that needs to be explored. Watchdogsis about surveillance and information warfare, and Uncharted – A Thief’s End is about family. Of course, the topics are packed in an exciting way and often not even presented as clearly as in watchdogs or Uncharted, but they are essential.

If you’ve ever put away a book or video game and you’ve been missing something, even though the story was actually good, it’s usually due to an unclear topic.

The differences

Experience vs Interact

A book is a story that has already been written and it is fixed. The pages are printed and you can’t change anything. It can be different in video games. Especially in recent years, for example, the TellTale games (The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, Game of Thrones, etc.) have focused on the player’s decisions and even big titles now often offer at least a “good” and a “bad” ending. This can go wrong, but still:

In games, you have at least the feeling of being actively involved in the story. In books, you remain a spectator.

Visual medium vs. mental cinema

Whether you prefer a finished world to watch or prefer to imagine everything yourself, is a matter of personal taste. I can see the positive aspects of both.

The mental cinema is of course wonderful for creativity, it stimulates the mind and you can let your own imagination run wild.

When you are presented with a finished world, you have the pleasure of looking at something that has sprung from another head, with places that you might not have thought of in life. You learn foreign points of view and may be enchanted by them. (I’m thinking, for example, of The Last Guardian.)

Both are great in different ways.

My story.

That’s why my new story is more suitable as a video game. I want to provoke the active decisions of the player. In a book, I could give the food for thought, but the outcome would be predetermined. I want to take advantage of the freedom of play.

There has been a noticeable increase in eagerness among Netizens to learn about Numerology, as numerology e-books are selling quickly and in large numbers. Numerology is an ancient pseudo scientific practice of analyzing numbers, and of how they could give insights into a person’s inner being. Apparently, rather than conduct considerable research, having access to numerology books can speed up the learning process.

Still. believing in numerical patterns and using the related inferences have not been adopted as traditional methods of preparing for the future. Yet based on personal experiences, many believe that their numbers represent the events and developments in their respective life.

Numerology Basics

There are indications that ancient Assyrians were the firsts to link numerical values to names, objects and events. Archaeologists discovered that the length of a particular wall built in the 8th century measured exactly 16,283 cubits. The figure was the same numerical value as the king’s name.

Pythagoras and Modern Numerology

It was in the 6th century in Greece that a philosopher named Pythagoras wrote that numbers are divinely created to carry sacred codes. Considered a mystic, the Greek philosopher developed the Pythagorean Numerology that is being used even now by numerologists.

Actually it was Pythrogoras’ interests in music that led him to his theorems about high level mathematics. He was able to explain mathematically why the vibrations of string instruments are associated with numbers.

The Pythagorean System

The Pythagorean system assigned numbers to alphabets in a sequential order but only from 1 to 9. This denotes that some alphabets shared the same number: A. B, C. D. E. F. G, H and I were individually assigned the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, the next set of nine letters, J, K, L. M, N, O, P, Q, and R are likewise individually assigned with the numbers 1 to 9 in the same order. The same goes for the rest of the alphabet.

The numbers 1 to 9, each have information about traits, characteristics, nature and relationships. As numbers associated with a person are his representations in the universe, his traits and destiny will be revealed by his corresponding number for a specific knowledge such as: Destiny or Life Path Number, Personality Number, Soul Number, Power Number and Attitude Number.

Angel Number

Modern Numerology literature also highlights a number as means by which believers can receive divine guidance. There are Angel Numbers which Pythagoras believed as having their own frequencies and vibrations coming from the portals of Angels.

Angel Numbers are not reduced to a single digit to have significanchttps://www.trulydivine.com/numerology/angel-number-808e. They are usually represented by a number that repeats, or combines with a master number like 11,22 or 33. In some cases, it can be the 8 number that repeats but with a zero in betweem – 808.

Actually, the Angel Number 808 is the most significant among numerology believers. Mainly because as a prediction number, it always brings good tidings, including financial rewards.

Literature should be taught because it uses a powerful language and contains the skills needed for languange learnings.

Accordingly, integrating authentic traditional poetry as a literature material on students or learners of English as the second Language (ESL) or English as the foreign language (EFL) is a great tool for exploration and application on real-life experience. ESL or EFL learners/students employ many modes of materials like books, articles, journal, etc. to practice and learn naturally on their own or learn it from formal classroom activities.

 

Benefits of Authentic Traditional Poetry as a Teaching Approach

 

Although, modern poetry is in the writing industry nowadays, we must not have to leave the conventional ones behind as they entail numbers of benefits.

Utilization of conventional poetry and poetic devices as a functional sources of literature for teaching a ESL and EFL classroom can help stimulate, engage and motivate students’ cognitive, linguistic and cultural skills. Moreover, EFL/ESL students may appreciate the distinctiveness, complexity, and vibrancy of poetry as authentic texts disclose the true nature of the language, present possibilities for informal learning. And, finally, inspire readers to study as these conventional texts are not yet simplified and altered and will not deprive the ESL and EFL learners to the opportunity of practicing and acquiring real-life experience of the language.

1. Establish a style manual.

If you’d like to design your own promotional materials, such as roofing business cards, develop a recognizable style to help homeowners recognize your company. This is crucial if there is a lot of roofing competitors in your neighborhood. To employ consistently throughout all of your marketing pieces, pick typefaces, logos, and color palettes.

2. Pay attention to the issues facing homeowners.

The primary focus of roofing leaflets, brochures, etc. should not be what your company does (i.e., roof installation). Instead, concentrate on alleviating a homeowner’s problem. Marketing materials that are effective will demonstrate to the customer how your roofing company will:

Avoid future repairs and leaks
Keep their money.
safeguard their assets
Boost the worth of their house

3. Make the content simple to read for potential customers and clients.

Consider the last time you read a piece of marketing that was crammed with small text and lengthy block paragraphs. It probably went directly in the garbage! When creating roofing promotional materials, make sure they are simple to understand. Use headlines and subheadings, for instance, to draw attention to crucial issues.

larger typefaces
ample white space
concise paragraphs
Bulleted lists
lists with numbers

4. When creating roofing flyers, use high-quality images.
Free photographs from photo websites may appear to be a good deal, but let’s face it: they frequently look like free images. Use high-quality photographs that you’ve taken yourself instead, collaborate with a professional photographer to create unique shots, or buy stock roofing images that are of a professional standard.

5. Ask a colleague to go through your promotional materials.

Mistakes do occur. Never print or transmit a piece of marketing content without having at least one other team member check it for consistency, clarity, and grammar.

6. Invest in expert writing and/or design assistance if necessary.

Just as not everyone is skilled at writing or creating, not everyone is good at roofing. Invest in a specialist if writing or design work aren’t your strong suits or if producing marketing materials would divert too much time from more important responsibilities.

Manga, Japanese for “comics,” is a Japanese style of comics and is generally associated with using panels to tell an interesting story. Manga is being published in black and white as opposed to anime with color. There are a few different types of manga out there, and just like anime, there are many similarities and a few differences.

Anime series are typically animated versions of the manga that Japan created. The anime series will often be released on television, or they can be streamed online at nontonanimeid or downloaded on streaming devices such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video.

There’s hardly a manga reader enthusiast who’d say no to anime. Some people even prefer anime over manga and vice versa. So what makes these two formats different, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of reading manga vs. watching anime? 

First off, let us take a look at the similarities between anime and manga:

• They are both story-driven.
• They are both considered to be a form of visual media.
• The characters are drawn with a lot of detail.

Now let’s compare their differences:

• One main difference is that manga requires reading an entire volume before you.
• Manga series would require less time than watching an entire anime series because reading speed is faster than viewing speed. You may find it more convenient to read at your own pace.

Anime is an art form that originated in Japan and is characterized by animation. Manga, on the other hand, is a term for comics and cartoons in that country.

• the building of experience and information
• provoking thoughts and entertainment
• imparting feelings of empathy
• the ability to infer other people’s thoughts

List of Books that You Must Read Now

The narratives recorded in literary works are very much enticing and they not only impress but also offer the reader an understanding of what the character of the story is having gone through.

A good story, then, has the ability to move the reader’s emotions and the moments following the accident.

The books listed below are some examples of what you can read.

 A Good Man is Hard to Find

A deeply moving narrative that culminates in the execution of an entire family. As a result, literature appeals to the readers’ emotions. The journey, which was supposed to be fun, ends tragically, and readers empathize with the characters in the story and, by extension, people in similar situations in real life.

A Rose for Emily

It expounds on the reasons for Emily’s father’s estrangement from his family several years before his death. We can thus learn about people’s historical differences through literature.

A lot of people frequently ask English major students why they have to constantly study literature. And in what way it could help in their career. In addition to that, many also felt confused to why someone would even bother study this subject. Because to them, they feel like that a career in literature would take them nowhere.

This article explains why we should study literature in school and business, as well as its benefits for our future careers.

Develop an Understanding of Communication and Culture

Literature allows us to move beyond our own culture and time period to get a glimpse into other cultures and time periods. This can help us understand communication and cultural differences better.

By taking the time to read works from different cultures and time periods, you can see how people – even in vastly different circumstances – communicated.

In addition to that, you can also broaden your cultural understanding, which will make you a better communicator and help you in your career. Once you’ve mastered this in your school or business years, it’s easy to use it in your career like promoting things for Charlottesville home.

Help You Develop Your Own Voice

While reading the works of famous writers can help you understand good writing, reading your own work aloud can help you develop your own voice. If you’ve ever read your own writing aloud, you know that it sounds completely different.

When you read aloud, you can hear the words with a different emphasis and rhythm. By reading your own work aloud, you can discover your own unique voice. You can also discover what is difficult for you to say.

Help You Understand Words in Context

Let us face the fact that one of the most frustrating things about trying to build your vocabulary is not knowing the context of the words. You may know the definition of a word, but not know where it fits into the bigger picture of language. When you read literature, you are able to learn not only the definition of words, but also how they are used in context.

Reading has several advantages, and literature’s significance should never be discounted. It is simple to understand why literature is vital for everything from enhancing mental health to stimulating creativity to raise IQ levels.

The Perks of Everyday Reading

Here are some justifications for why literature is significant and why you should read daily.

√ Reading is a way to escape reality.

Literature is, first and foremost, a fantastic form of escape. Through literature, one can enter the world of a different character, which may or may not be similar to our own or wholly fictitious.

√ Reading can encourage creativity.

The freedom to interpret the text in front of you is one of the best things about reading. Although the words in the work may have been written with a specific meaning or emotion in mind by the author, it is entirely up to you as the reader to decide how they should be understood.

√ Reading lowers physical and mental tension.

Numerous studies have shown that reading has beneficial effects on the mind and body, making it a tried-and-true means of relieving stress and unwinding.

Yes, reading can assist in lowering blood pressure and heart rate, as well as positively impacting your mental health.

√ History can be learned. 

Learning about history through literature is one of the many advantages of reading. Given that fiction works typically provide a particular vision of that history, they shouldn’t be interpreted as telling the entire tale. 

√ General intelligence can be raised through reading. 

Reading increases readers’ general intelligence, which is one of literature’s tremendous impacts. Naturally, you’d anticipate learning new information and improving your intelligence if reading textbooks and non-fiction literature.

You could say that literature is anything someone has thought up and written down for someone else to read. But that’s not true, because shopping lists aren’t literature, are they? If you have more questions like this, find the answers tailored to your questions from evryanswer.

There is a lot that can be said about literature, so literary studies is also a separate subject that can be studied in any language in the world. We don’t want to push it that far, it’s about clarifying fundamentally what you can imagine as literature. Broadly speaking, literature is something someone has thought up and written down for someone else to read. Shopping lists are also written for someone to read. Nevertheless, they are not literature because they do not tell a story. They don’t have a plot, they are just notes not meant to be published.

Literature is divided into different genres. You can learn more about this in the Epic & Drama and Poetry lessons.

Join in the excitement – experience

In our case, we are taking a closer look at a novel, namely a crime novel. In this special type of novel, everything revolves around finding a killer and clarifying the motive for the murder. Like any novel, it has a hero and an antagonist. The better and more gripping the novel is written, the easier it is to empathize with the hero, hate the antagonist, have the same likes and dislikes as the hero for the moment, and witness something you would never do in real life.

Mood – images in the head

The author’s goal is to describe scenes so precisely that the atmosphere at a crime scene, for example, can be recreated. If that succeeds, then we get the creeps while reading, we feel the tension and read on. Reading is only fun for us when it creates images in our heads and we really share the excitement. If a book is made into a film, someone else thinks up the images and presents them to the viewer as a film.

Filmed Literature

When you have read a book, you are usually disappointed by the film. No matter how good the movie is. You remember your own ideas and pictures, a lot has to be left out or shortened in the film. A book can only be a template for a screenplay since many things cannot be implemented on film as written in a novel. Of course, that doesn’t mean filmed literature isn’t fun, it’s just different than a book.

Audio books

If you don’t want to read it yourself or can’t because of time constraints, you might want to read the audiobook. Here you can easily have the mostly abridged story read to you and do other things at the same time. Your own imagination is still required, but it is very convenient. You can classify it as a cross between a film and reading it yourself.

How do authors get their ideas?

At the beginning of every literary text, there is an idea that can have very different origins. Sometimes you have experienced it yourself, sometimes you read it in the newspaper, sometimes you just made it up. It is the peg around which the author tells the story. Literary texts are usually fictitious, i.e. invented, but of course, they have to have a connection to reality so that they are interesting for many readers. It gets especially scary when the story seems like it could happen right next door at any time.

Computer and video games are an integral part of everyday life for children and young people. Nevertheless, they are rarely an issue in classrooms. It would certainly be worthwhile examining digital cultural assets.

Video games have long since become a cultural asset

Millions of people play digital games, including many children and young people. Game-based learning can be an important element to ease the way into an increasingly digitized world. It can kindle enthusiasm for science and technology. However, both the playful promotion of digital skills and critical support for gamers require an intensive, media-pedagogical examination of computer games. However, such a thing happens far too seldom in schools.

Video games have long been just as important a cultural asset as films or books. However, they are still used far too seldom as a medium in school lessons or even only discussed as a subject worldwide. Media-educational engagement should come with video games. Video games such as league of legends can have educational benefits. With the boost services that eloboostleague offers, students can improve their focusing abilities.

Games are a versatile educational tool

The use of games in the classroom can make sense. Video games are a versatile tool and pick up on the students in their everyday reality. That can definitely have a motivating effect. The virtual worlds also offer completely new possibilities for the visualization of complex content or historical events.

However, their use should also make pedagogical sense and fit into the teaching context. Otherwise the positive effects quickly fizzle out. Simply letting the students play is about as effective as having the TV truck in constant use before the summer holidays. The use of games in the classroom still requires a lot of commitment and time-consuming preparation by teachers.

In contrast to books and films, there is hardly any didactic accompanying material for video games that makes teaching easier for educators. Only in the area of ​​open educational resources can you find suitable teaching materials, created by educators who deliberately waive their copyrights.

In addition to the didactic hurdles, teachers also have to overcome numerous technical hurdles if they want to use computer and video games in school lessons. For example, many school computers are outdated and too slow for many titles.

 

The Book Fair: each publisher has its own stand, where its own authors sign their books. The reader looks for the signing stand and probably comes into contact with the names of publishers as one of the only times a year. How many readers think about the publisher on the cover when they buy a book? Isn’t it mainly the title and the author that are the deciding factors? Very interesting questions, especially in times when almost every company uses social media and hiring SMM services to create a brand and increase brand awareness. Have literary publishers in Flanders and the Netherlands also jumped on the social media train?

Social media in a changing book industry

Until now, no research has been conducted into the social media use of literary publishers in Flanders and the Netherlands. This is remarkable because social media is ubiquitous, and even more so because the book industry is subject to enormous, especially digital, changes that are often portrayed negatively. Just think of the rise of the e-book, the internet bookstore, and the so-called self-publishing. In a two-part exploratory study, a first introduction was given to the social media use of literary publishers in Flanders and the Netherlands. For this, the questions were answered: do they use social media, and if so, how?

Social media accepted?

In a first sub-study, a global picture was sketched of the social media use of Flemish and Dutch literary publishers. For this purpose, an inventory was made of 49 literary publishers. The main conclusion is that all these publishers are active on at least one social medium, namely Facebook. The vast majority have accounts on Facebook and Twitter, with relatively large numbers of followers. Other social media are used substantially less: less than half of selected publishers use YouTube and/or Instagram, and less than a third are active on Pinterest. In addition, most publishers have accounts on the latter three media, which also use very average, or even virtually not. Literary publishers in Flanders and the Netherlands seem to be convinced of the importance of social media, yet most only actively use Facebook and Twitter.

Why use social media?

Knowing that publishers use social media is one thing, but knowing how they use it really provides new insights. In a second sub-study, twelve of the 49 selected publishers were asked how they see social media and how they use it. The research showed that publishers mainly became active on social media to inform, create visibility (of the publisher itself and of books), and most importantly: to get in direct contact with the reader. The latter is precisely the big difference from the traditional promotional channels of the publishing house such as television and newspaper interviews.

A number of publishers see social media as an additional source of free publicity, which is always welcome now that television and traditional media give less attention to books, and just want to ‘be present’. Other publishers see social media as an investment item and invest staff, time, and money in their social media. This, of course, requires an underlying strategy. An interesting question for the future is whether we will see an even bigger difference between these publishers, or whether the publishers that use social media less intensively now will put more time and money into social media and we will go to a leveling. Most publishers fall somewhere in between and invest limited in their social media channels. Finally, as far as the channels themselves are concerned, Facebook is usually used to serve the reader ‘fun’ content, while Twitter has a more informative role towards the press.

With a book in a corner?

Perhaps the most striking finding of the study is that readers are uniting on Facebook in groups, such as Iedereenleest and Boekenfans (both groups have more than 12,000 members). In those groups, readers talk to each other about books, give each other tips, and so on. Some publishers surveyed are not aware of these book groups, others deal with them passively (only following what happens in the groups) or actively (in the form of running competitions or donating review copies). Books can be made in these groups but also cracked, and it is interesting to see how these groups will develop in the future. With a book in a corner? It is doubtful because reading and everything around it becomes really social on social media.

Conclusion

For literary publishers, social media seems to be a positive effect of the all too often negatively assessed digitization. Facebook, Twitter, and other social media ensure direct interaction with the readers (customers) and at the same time visibility and possible customer loyalty. Both the publishers and the readers have found social media, but for publishers, it becomes a challenge to hold readers’ interest and convince them to keep following them. For this, publishers should realize that social media makes reading social and that the content offered must be adapted to it. No matter how the social media use of literary publishers evolves, social media will certainly provide new (positive) impulses in a changing book sector.

The word “classical literature” means a written project of ancient Greeks, Romans, and other ancient civilizations.

While approaching such large and oftentimes hefty books can be scary, reading classical literature provides access to the innermost ideas of some of history’s greatest minds as well as the examination of ancient civilizations.

List of Classical Literature Books

If you’re seeking to dive into the world of ancient texts but aren’t sure where to begin, here are a few novels we recommend.

1. Elegies of Chu

Elegies of Chu, one of only two surviving compilations of ancient Chinese poems, is a must-read for poetry and classical aficionados alike. The elegies are an important part of the Chinese poetry tradition.

2.  Estate Management and Symposium 

A new edition of two of Xenophon’s most famous books, Estate Management and Symposium, is available. Socrates and the Oeconomicus discuss howl to successfully manage one’s ‘oikos,’ or estate, according to the Oeconomicus. The scene switches to the men’s quarters of the house, where the Symposium describes an evening of discussion and amusement at the home of an Athenian oligarch.

3. Antigone and Others Tragedies

Antigone and Other Tragedies is a collection of three of Sophocles’ most famous tragedies: Antigone, Deianeira, and Electra, which all feature a strong female protagonist.

As a child, you probably spent many happy hours reading. You may have look forward to the school summer holidays to get some uninterrupted reading time, or perhaps you had a designated ‘reading corner’ in your bedroom where you could escape with a book whenever you wanted to.

Why Reading is Important?

If only adult life were as simple as those childhood days! We no longer have months of holiday where we can read as much as we like. Instead, adulthood is filled with pressures from school, work, family and friends — not to mention social media — all competing for our attention and time. Nevertheless, it’s more important than ever that adults find time to read. Here are five reasons why.

It Helps you Communicate with Others

Whether you like reading fiction or non-fiction, you’re constantly improving your communication skills — whether you’re aware of it or not. Reading fiction helps you develop empathy, patience and an understanding of human nature.

Reading non-fiction, on the other hand, helps you strengthen your argument and communication skills, so you can more effectively persuade others. Reading also helps you improve your public speaking skills, so you’ll find it easier to stand up in front of an audience and hold their attention.

Improved Critical Thinking

Reading will help you develop your critical thinking skills. This means you’ll be able to think more clearly and rationally. Reading will help you strengthen your analytical and problem solving skills. 

This will help you find solutions to the problems you face in your daily life. It will also help you become more creative, so you can come up with new ideas and solutions.

It Improves Your Vocabulary and Language Skills

Finally, reading can help you improve your vocabulary and language skills. This will help you communicate more effectively, both in writing and in person. Reading will help you develop a better understanding of the nuances in language. If you want too, you can write a book of your own and share your creative writing prowess. A professional such as Rankbeetle SEO agency in Toronto can also be hired to help you in advertising your final product.

Reading is also a great way to improve your general knowledge. This will help you understand more about different subjects, and make your communication more informed and powerful.

Writing can be a solitary occupation. Podcasts, on the other hand, can provide listeners a sense of belonging, regardless of how detached they are in their hobbies, either emotionally or geographically.

Writing is presently an unpaid interest until it can tend to be your profession.

So, whether you’re an established author or a budding creative writer with huge dreams, the electronic book clubs and author organizations behind the podcasts mentioned below can help you achieve your goals.

Jose Rizal is a Philippine national hero and one of the most important figures in Philippine history. He wrote two novels and various essays about his view of the Philippines. In 1882, he wrote the first Filipino novel entitled “Noli Me Tangere.” It was first published in Berlin Germany in 1887. The novel was based on the harsh realities of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, and it has been called a “social protest.” In 1896 Rizal wrote “El Filibusterismo,” which was later called a “nationalistic manifesto.” This novel was about the struggle of the Filipinos for their independence from Spain. Read a summary of Noli Me Tangere Chapters 1-10 here – Noli me tangere buod kabanata 1-10.

The Works of Jose Rizal: Required Reading Among Filipino Students

• “Jose Rizal’s novels can be used to understand what it was like in 19th century Philippines.”
• “Rizal’s novels are written in the context of his time, and to fully realize the impact of these novels, one must be aware of the historical events happening at that time.”
• “Most scholars agree that he was the first Filipino writer who was able to employ Western-style techniques, which made him a precursor of modern Philippine literature”

Jose Rizal is a national hero in the Philippines. He is also considered the country’s most prolific writer. His works are required reading for Filipino students and have been translated into many languages. The following are reasons why the works of Jose Rizal should be read by Filipino students:

The writings of Jose Rizal are a reflection of his love for his country and his people. His writings show how much he loved freedom, democracy, and justice. His novels, Noli and El Fili show that he was not only a patriot but also a humanist who cared deeply about others.

Jose Rizal’s writings show how much he loved his country, despite all the turmoil around him. His writings also show that despite what happened to him, he didn’t give up on his country and he was always fighting for it.

“The Philippines is an ancient nation.” Jose Rizal believed that the Philippines was a different place than other countries. He saw the pride and dignity of the people who lived in his native land, even though they were struggling under Spanish rule. Jose Rizal loved and respected his fellow country.

Jose Rizal’s writings are truly revolutionary. Armed with pen and paper, with no idea if anyone would read it or not, Jose Rizal wrote about what he saw and felt. He was a man who loved his country dearly and wrote about the atrocities that happened during the Spanish occupation of the Philippines, which led to his death sentence.

You can wrap literature books by providing them with a beautiful cover. Flexible packaging not only replaces gift wrapping but also protects the book in everyday life. Bent corners or other signs of wear, stains and dirt are a thing of the past.

Flexible packaging: Make nice envelopes to wrap the books

If you want to wrap books and give them a personal touch, simply do the wrapping yourself.

A very nice and sustainable idea is a self-knitted or self-crocheted book cover. To do this, use one or more colours of your choice made from robust cotton yarn.

Crochet or knit the cover so that you can easily insert the book and fold it over and sew the edges of the pages.

Feel free to use simple crochet stitches for this, such as with potholders, or right and left knit stitches. This keeps the cover stable for a long time and can be used again and again for books.

A tie made of crocheted chain stitches is suitable for closing the envelope.  You can tie it around the gift as a nice bow.

Instead of crochet or knitted cover, you can also sew a book cover. Choose plain or printed fabric made from natural fibres or discarded bed sheets and sew them to the right size.

Instead of new fabric, you can also use scraps of fabric to craft from a book cover. For example, sew the leftovers together so that you can use them to cover the book later.

Alternatively, you can also make a paper envelope and glue it with scraps of fabric or wool.

You can also use sturdy paper as a book cover yourself. Either you use it in one colour, with motifs or paint pictures on it yourself.

Flexible packaging: Wrap literature books as gifts

Instead of reusable book covers, you can also wrap books as gifts.

The easiest way to do this is with wrapping paper. You can label the gift packaging with wishes, decorate it with stickers or tie a nice bow around it.

Instead of the normal gift wrapping, you can also wrap the book like candy.

When you wrap literature books nicely, a bookmark complements your gift.

People give gifts because they want to express their emotions and show gratitude. It is a way of saying, “I love you.” Gifts could be expensive or simple, branded or local. Regardless of the choice of gift, it is the thought that really counts.

Branded gifts are among the expensive gifts that one can give. But really, these branded gifts shouldn’t be seen by their price tags but for the thought behind them. It should always be seen as a thoughtful gift.

The Gift-Giving Culture

The gift-giving culture today has shifted to a more personal one. This is because people are more focused on what they need, rather than what they want. The gift-giving culture has become much more thoughtful and personal.

The shift in the gifting culture has been a result of the rise of social media, which has made people much more aware of their own needs and wants. It is now easier for them to share this information with others as well as keep track of their friends’ needs and wants.

The shift in the gifting culture also reflects the change in how we think about ourselves and our society at large. Today, people are much less concerned about what others think about them or their gifts, but instead focus on what they can do for others- be it through charity or just being a good friend.

But the gifting culture could change again in the future, as millennials and Gen Zers reach their prime years. The cultural shifts could become more pronounced as those generations enter more of a norm-setting phase in life and become leaders in politics, business, and education.

The reciprocity of gifts

This may seem like an outrageous gift, but gift-giving is as old as the road to Rome. People have been giving each other gifts for many years in order to build friendships and strengthen mutual bonds. But more importantly, gifts are given to get things done. Donations provide reciprocity – give something and you will receive it in return in service or favor. For example, employers give their employees a present at the turn of the year. This rewards the hard work of the entire year.

Holiday gifts

There is no reciprocity in giving a gift during a festive occasion. In the Netherlands and other Western countries, it is customary to give a gift at birth, communion, marriage, wedding anniversary, housewarming, or birthday. The gift then serves as an extra congratulation. If someone is sick or is in hospital, the sick person often receives flowers, fruit, or a stack of magazines as a gift. In addition, holidays can be a reason to surprise someone with a gift. Think, for example, of Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and Easter, but also Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Sugar Feast.

Wrap gifts with wrapping paper

Gifts are often wrapped with wrapping paper. This keeps it a surprise for the recipient what kind of gift he or she will receive. In Norway, it is customary not to unwrap a gift immediately after receipt. In this way, one cannot insult the giver if the gift is not to his liking. In Switzerland, the gift is unwrapped very carefully, without tearing the paper. This way, the recipient does not want to appear too greedy.

Determining the ideal gift

Gifts are given to friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues, business associates, and clients. But what gift do you give? It is important to give the most suitable gift for the appropriate occasion, otherwise, you will be disappointed in the recipient. The following matters, among other things, determine the nature of the gift:

Recipient’s gender
Age of the recipient
Recipient’s interests
Declared wishes of the recipient
The bond between the giver and the receiver

If you are very close with the recipient, you can give him or her a personal gift, such as a city trip, photo book or theater performance. If the recipient is further away from you, you can give a general gift voucher or a bottle of wine. Please note: some gifts are taboo. In Suriname, for example, people look surprised when you give someone soap or shower foam. This suggests that the receiver does not smell fresh. In addition, make sure the gift to be given is proportionate to the occasion – never give too expensive a gift as this will embarrass the recipient.

Reading aloud is a great way to practice reading skills and build vocabulary. It is also a great way to introduce children to new books and encourage them to read more. For adults, it can be used as an exercise for the mind and body, or as a way of relaxing after a long day.

Reading Campaigns to Spread The Joy of Reading

Save with Stories, Read The World, Operation Story Time, and Scott’s Studio Storytime are reading campaigns for children’s books to spread the joy of reading.

Aside from the sacred writings, Sanskrit literature also produced philosophical writings, romantic and erotic lyrics, narrative folktales, court poetry and plays. Novels and short stories came around after Indian writers adopted the Englisj literature established in the British colony. Yet this was also the beginning when Indian writers took interest in writing about social and psychological matters and issues.

The car of the future is not the futuristic prototype you’ll meet at car shows and trade fairs. A car without tires floats in the air. Now, some of these prototypes may be built in the future, but they still look suspiciously “normal” to the outside world. Technological developments and trends ultimately determine future vehicles, as state-of-the-art vehicles (not car designers) ultimately determine which vehicle to ship from the factory.

Today’s Three Most Important Automotive Trends

In today’s automotive industry, there are several trends regarding future automotive development. The most important current trends are:

– Electric operation.
– Self-driving car (unmanned car);
– Car sharing or car sharing.

Electric Driving-Existing Concept of New Attire

In fact, cars with electric motors have existed since the early 19th century, developed in France, Germany, the United States, and more. However, electric cars have long disappeared from the streets. The range was too short and the car was running too slowly due to the heavy battery. Why does this sound so familiar to us?

With Tesla at the top, automakers such as BMW, Nissan, and Volvo are once again focusing on developing quiet and environmentally-friendly electric vehicles, but this time with a cruising range of over 350km. General Motors has announced that it will develop a number of electric models, and Volvo Cars plan to run all Volvos on electric motors from 2019. Volkswagen is also participating. By 2025, one in four VW vehicles will need to be electric, so the company plans to make a significant investment in battery production over the next few years.

Self-Driving Cars and Ride Sharing

Self-driving is a trend that began with the introduction of self-driving systems such as adaptive cruise control and parking assist into vehicles. So far, this technology is mainly used to assist drivers. Improvements, further developments, and networking of these systems will result in vehicles that do not require a driver.

According to a 4,444 survey, 55% of US and German drivers do not voluntarily board self-driving cars. This is mainly due to the fact that people in the United States and Germany prefer to control their cars. Think of a reliable car brand in the US and Germany (BMW, Volkswagen, Ford). Here, people are always standing firmly on the ground with good wheels. The idea that a car does not have the same judgments and reactions as a human driver and is, therefore, unsafe holds many people.

 

Is electricity driving future trends?

At the Motor Show, all brands can definitely talk about the trend of exhibiting electric cars. However, the cityscape has a significantly larger number of non-electric vehicles like for example the model Honda SUV, and a smaller number of electric vehicles, so automakers need to do their best to increase the sales and production of electric vehicles. For example, Tesla is struggling to produce the electric vehicles it needs.

If manufacturers can meet demand at the right time and produce more technologically advanced vehicles over longer distances, the end result will be an electric vehicle that can cross the Netherlands without having to stop at a charging station.
