Chapter 5 Reflection

I was very familiar with the topics in this chapter. I've always been the type of person who skims through the chapter to either see how long it is or what its about. I like the way the chapter helps readers with a guide on how to preview textbook chapters I feel that is something that not only college students but everyone needs to know.

Body Piercing & Tattooing: Risks to Health

I found this article to be very interesting because I realized when I first started college back in 2009 there were multiple people walking around campus with crazy tattoos and piercings and I was one of them. I got my first tattoo when i was about 16 and I've been addicted ever since. I think there's something about seeing your ideas and or drawings actually scripted on your body. Many people look at tattoos as a way to express who they are through art and some even use it to tell stories about their lives. Although there are many health risks with getting tattoos or piercings it is up to the person who wants to get the piercings or tattoos to do the research and make sure they use precaution before and after getting it done.

Chapter 4 Reflection

Chapter 4 clarified multiple things for me after reading it. Although I was very familiar with some of the topics, I now have a better understanding of the definition and usage. The chapter has various amount of important information about  suffix, prefix, and root of words. I found the chapter to be very descriptive with what dictionaries include and breaks down each section in the dictionary and its use. I feel this chapter will be very helpful for my assignments as the semester continues.
