Article - Forget What You Know About Good Study Habits

I think that for me it is better to study at places where is comfortable, clean, and quiet. And I like to have space during study times, like after schools I would like to play basketball first and then I will go back to school to work on homework. I do believe that testing your self multiple times will help you to remember the martial better, because I think you can practice questions that you don’t understand. Anyways, I learned that it’s better to learn in mixing contends; so I might try this before my math test next time. Because it is said that if you study on mixed questions from equations you will tend learn better. Also I found it interesting that the difficult it is then the harder you will forget.

The Devil and Tom Walker

 

The Devil and Tom Walker is written by Washington Irving. It’s a dark story talking about a man dealing with the devil, which the man sells his soul to the devil in exchange for wealth. Tom is a greedy man who only wants wealth more than anything. I think that the most interesting part is that at the end where Tom said, “The devil take me, if I have made a farthing”, then soon the devil took him right away. I think that these kinds of stories are often heard. Mostly the story tells about a man who trade’s his soul to the devil for things, which might include money, love, knowledge, or power. Anyways, the story telling us that it is foolish to sell your soul for something you wanted or to satisfy you; dealing with the devil will always have bad consequences.

Dr. Heidegger's Experiment



“Dr.Heidegger’s Experiment” is written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It talks about the desires of eternity, the greediness from human nature, and how people wasted their years. I personally think that this is a very interesting story; I like how Dr. Heidegger turned a dead flower back to life, and it’s funny that the four guests went right away to the fountain of Youth to drink the water. Anyways, it is usually tragic that characters don’t learn their lesson or unforeseen their fate. It is foolish to refuse what nature has planned for you, and these kinds of stories would give us ideas that getting old is nothing to be afraid of. The greatest regret is not to become old, but what you have wasted during your best years of life time; as you can see immortality won't make life better.
