Preface
It would be a lot easier to manage if I just download all the books to an iPad. None are hard to find editions that would be unavailable in a digital format, and a few are recent hardcover releases, they’re heavy and unwieldy. But there’s something about print that I can’t give up. There’s something about holding a book in your hand and the visceral act of physically turning a page that, for me, couldn’t be matched with pixels appearing on a screen. I think we should continue buying and reading paper books because paper books are ought to keep and collect. I like to collect different series of books, it’s thoroughly a nice feeling when looking at the bookshelves filled up with books. In addition, papers don’t need electricity, and we can resell or give them away without sparking a battle over copyright infringement. We wouldn’t get distract by pop-up apps and emails whenever we are studying. No matter how handy an eBook is, its intangible nature strips, its ability to evoke the sentimental memories a dingy, dog-eared paperback can elicit.
From the article by Ewan Morrison, I do not agree with the author’s view about the publishing industry. First of all, there are still many people who do not like reading the e-books as e-books could always hurt their eyes and doesn’t give them the great feeling when they’re reading eBooks. Reading paper-books could let them more focus and less interference.
Some people feel so strongly about not allowing printed books to go extinct because e-books could not function as great as paper-books. For instance, we can’t look at more than one page at once using e-books. We can’t read e-books when there is no electricity or when your i-pad or phone is no battery. Furthermore, some people think that pre-highlighting parts in books for the next generation is a good way to pass wisdom from generation to the next. Thus, I could believe that publishing industry is not going to extinct.
eBooks can be change, but paper books don’t.
In this book, you will get to know a story about what will happens if we do not treat people around us as good as we can on time. Everything could be difference if we do treasure them before we loss them. This book is inspired by my wind band coach in my primary school, who had passed away last year suffering from a serious disease.
Who would you think of during a rainy night?
My older brother, is the only one I could think of.
He’s a fool. He was brought to my family when my uncle got married. My uncle had a high fever when he was five-year-old, causing him to get poliomyelitis and hemiplegia. My grandparents want to find a person who is able to take care of my uncle, so they found Joan, and my older brother was brought.
