Reading “knowledge and the arts” really imposed a mix of different emotions. From confusion, to interest, this piece of writing was really packed with writing techniques, text styles and patterns that really added to its ability to keep the reader on their toes for the next parts of the writing.
At first, I was a bit spooked by the amount of writing that was on the paper given to us in class, but after some time of reading, it began to get interesting and it became a bit less of a chore to read it. the more we read, the less the words seemed to look less like something that would stress me out.
The text really made me think of sentimental, deep questions. It made me question the meaning of life, who we really are and our real purposes on this earth. Thinking of these sentimental questions really added another dimension to the reading, and me use more of my brain to think and really make fitting connections. connections relating the writing to the real world and real life feelings and situations.
All-in-all, i really enjoyed this reading as it really made me use my brain, and it made me think of really interesting life-related, intellectual questions. The fact that reading this made me actually enjoy a piece of writing means a lot, because I don’t really like reading a lot, and the writing kept me hooked for the whole duration. I commend the writer for being able to do this – i’m pretty sure it was Mr. Macknight that wrote it, so it is even more impressive. I would recommend this piece for people coming in the next years as it will also make them think of sentimental questions and it will show them what good writing looks like earlier on.
