LAST READERS RESPONSE

This is the last readers response we have to do for the first year wrinting comp class for the sememter. I must say that I really did enjoy reading all the essays in the World of the Image. I found it to be a very great and all the essays were very entertaining to read. The first section for the last week of reading for the class dealt with reality versus what is fake in arhetecture. Now of days there are buildings like in Las Vegas such as the Monte Carlo and New York, New York that take place of the acctual places. It stated that people will go to an attraction like las vegas instead of going to the actual place. In my case I would love to go to both. I would love to go see the Pyrimids of Giza one day and I have already been to Las Vegas. I don’t think that new archetecture is taking place of the acctual experience of the place because such as the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas is an experience of it’s own. So i don’t believe at all that a place like Las Vegas can take people away from other attractions. they also talked about New York, New York which i have visited both the city and the hotel casino in Las Vegas, they are two totally different experience but I loved both of them. The next section was about called… someone’s Power, for the life of me i can’t remember the name of it but i do remember it was some kind of complex name. lol. Oh, i shouldn’t be using lol but it is a freewrite so i guess it is ok. I found this section to be very interesting but I didn’t really have an opinion on it. It was interesting to read how the guy fell in love with his sculpture and prayed to the gods that they would create a woman in her image. I also enjoyed the quote at the beginning of the section.
My expectations for the last section were high, I expected the book to end with like the best essay ever written, instead we get some boring essay that was written in the 1930′s a bit dissapointing… yes it was indeed. What i did find interesting is how the camera man takes his shots to give an emotional connection with his audience. But I really didn’t find the last section too interesting. but overall i think that The World of the Image was a really great interesting book!
