Good Reader VS. Bad Reader

I did not get very much from the reading tonight, other than the obvious, that it was comparing "It's a Wonderful Life" to stories in the Bible. I thought that the reading was interesting to see how the two were similar; however, I didn't feel like I got any great wisdom from it, like I usually do after reading in this class.

In class today, I really enjoyed learning all of the characteristics of a "good reader" and a "bad reader". I think that we are all "good readers" and "bad readers" at some points in our lives. The things that automatically get your attention while reading, will probably make you want to reread a book, and help you to embrace the fullness of it. However, if you are reading a book for an assignment, and have npt been interested in it from the beginning, I think it would be safe to say that you will only read it once. While we were writing down the list, I found myself on both the "good reader" side and the "bad reader" side, depending on the books that I was thinking of. That is how I made my conclusion, that we are all probably a little bit of both.

I also enjoyed the videos, that were examples of how comedy is unforeseeable. They were entertaining, but also a good depiction of what comedy should look like.
