Reflection

After studying and learning the vocabulary required in class I had a better understanding to the words in the text. I see how it challenges the reader at times and how they want you to learn and to understand their texts. Vocabulary is very important and is used in everyday society. From studying the vocabulary it’s introduced me to new and exciting words that I can use whenever and where ever. Not much of our society use words that are more complex then others because they tend to be lazy or just don’t know the word. Mostly its educated people who use more complex words, at which make them seem smarter. So when people use words that are more complex or harder people tend to think you are educated. That’s one reason why I want to use my vocabulary words in my day to day life so I sound more educated. Although I have yet to hear the vocabulary words out loud I still try to use them in my day to day life. When I approach an unfamiliar word I look it up now. I used to just read past it and not even look it at it or guess what the meaning was but now I have been finding words I don’t know and figuring what they are in the dictionary. For the most part I am remembering some of the words from our vocabulary list, but I do tend to forget most of them after the test.
