What I discovered from these pathfinders is that:
- I've discovered that the pathfinders are used for researching databases that will help you gather much more information.
- Also, the pathfinders were provided by Springfield Township Highschool Library.
- And different categories were put into different seperate locations which made life easier for you.
What I found interesting about it is that:
- The two things that I found really interesting is for the fact that these resource database were provided by Springfield Township Highschool Library and that how they manage to create a page which is like any other research like google, yahoo, wikipedia,etc.
What I want to ask is that:
- My question is that how can you find the specific thing you are looking for, for the fact that the categories they lack.
The Pathfinder that I found really interesting would be Literary Criticism.
What I discovered from these pathfinders is that:
- Literary Criticism is somewhat a jury or some sort, which where you, held as the defendant to prove and convince them that you are innocent. Same thing goes with literature work, specially the book 'The Catcher Of The Rye'. Such commentaries my English class gave that book.
- Literary Criticism can criticize your knowledge about literature arts, in other words, it can make you quit about being an author and move on with some other things.
- Literary Criticism can cause headache, supression, and anger in a way.
What I found interesting about it is that:
- Those who plays at the Literary Criticism have the advantage of taking you off the league with one word, even though they don't really have to think about it. As if they're opnions held higher than your knowledge about literature.
- Criticizing someone, or something has always been a part of human nature.
What I want to ask is that:
- Just a little curious. How much money do these guys, I mean, the one who Literary Crticize someone make?
