About how to use quotations correct.

In the third material which is named, “A Way With Word, or Away With Words: Effect of Texting and IMing on Language” on Arak Anthology, the writer used some quotations which are very interesting and contribute to the essay so much, and made the essay make more sense.

The first examples of quotations in these reading materials are in the author quote a sentence from the book called: Linguistic Ruin? LOL! Instant messaging and teen language, which is written by Sali A Tagliamonte and Derek Denis. This sentence makes perfect sense here, because what the author going to show us is about the txt and MI language always used a few words to illustrate a complete sentence. It’s maybe very easy to write but txt may also include many unconventional words which is very easy to made the listener get the wrong idea, and made some understanding between those people who used txt. And the quotations the writer used is show the same ideas to his topic, so I think the author of “A Way With Word, or Away With Words: Effect of Texting and IMing on Language” did great job on this quotations.

According to the reading material named "Discovering the Truth about Columbus", Columbus is a really did not undertake his voyages out of curiosity or to prove the world was round, so what? Actually I know this already since I was little boy. So I think what we should do now, is correct the wrong impression we been given, and do not let such things happening again. As for the statement like "what would the same history look like if the losers wrote the history?" I think we have no needs to think about it, even it is more like a perfect image in our head, But it is still never going to happen. So why bother to think about the outcome which is not even real.

Even though I think if I choose to talk about "what would the same history look like if the losers wrote the history?” But what I want to say is concentrate on some real life instead of the things we already done and can never changed. We can help some Africa country to use the resources product. We can prevent the war happened all over the world. We can also teach pool country some technique to help them out from shortage. I think all these above are what we should do know.
