Arcadia Tom Stoppard

222 Words1 Page

Arcadia (play)- Tom Stoppard: A play about the second law of thermodynamics going from enlightenment order to romantic disorder, from logic to love, and from past to present. This story explores the importance of both STEM and the humanities, which helped me bridge the schism between the two fields. The math and science infused with a story about romance made it one of my favorite plays. Naive Set Theory (book)- Paul R. Halmos: A book about set theory, covering the Axiom of Choice, Ordinal Numbers, and Cardinal Numbers. The first math book I read on my own, empowering me to continue to learn the subject. Ender’s Game (book)- Orson Scott Card: I learned about problem solving and continuously innovating: both rely on collaboration. There must

I learned a bit of their history, and a great deal of their common beliefs and practices.

    As the nature of this letter implies, I have finished Thomas Foster’s book, How to Read Literature like a Professor. It was intriguing and helped me to see things that otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed. Even some of the topics that seemed common sense were given greater significance after he explained them. For example, the chapter on the seasons the concepts/meanings are commonly known yet seeing how they fall into play in an actual story is fascinating. I never considered that the seasons could be incorporated in such complex ways short of plot, theme, mood, and setting.

    The titles I think are the most important so far are Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, The Declaration of Independence, and Yellow Wallpaper. Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God by Jonathan Edwards was an extremely influence piece of literature from our anthology, not only for the time it was wrote in, but still today. He delivered this speech to a congregation in the year of 1741. Despite the fact that he was calm and pretty much emotionless during this sermon, the audience was said to have screamed in horror and Jonathan Edwards was interrupted many times and had to ask for silence. Edwards was one of

    I would have to say that one of many books that has helped to form my understanding of my faith is actually the book called Daisy Head Mayzie by Dr. Seuss. This story is about a girl who at the very beginning of the story is just like everyone else though rather quickly it becomes apparent, when she sprouts a daisy on her head, that she is rather different from everyone else. Over the course of the book she faces teasing and fame along with the desire to be normal and hating all of the attention. When I look back and try to imagine what I was thinking while reading this book it is initially hard because I was five years old when the book came out.
