Book Smell Analysis

To synthesize a fragrance used commercially in two steps by using a chemoselective reduction reaction, and a polymer-supported reaction.

In “How to Mark a Book”, Mortimer J. Adler delves into the importance of active reading. His purpose is to encourage an audience of readers to not be afraid to write in a book because “…the soul of a book can be separated from its body” (Adler 17). Meaning, a book is more than its physical being and deserves to be cherished for what is written inside of it.

Many people have memories from when they read their first book and how excited they were. They remember everything like the palm of their hand, although I honestly do not recall when I read my first book. I just began to read and loved it. I would read for hours and hours, my parents would take books away from me, because I would not sleep from how much I read. I have read an abundant amount of books, but my all time favorite book is, “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. I relish the way Harper Lee demonstrates every character's emotions and thoughts so clearly to the reader. This book exemplifies how we should not judge anyone until we step in their shoes and walk in them. There are books that are not pleasant for

What is it about a book that keeps one reading? One continues to read a book when it is interesting and if they can make a connection to it. But, what makes a book interesting? There are many ways authors attract their readers. Authors use different techniques like, circle chronological order style, evoking strong emotions, and creating complex characters to shock and lure their readers.

My experience with literature started when I was in the first grade. My first-grade teacher was named Ms. Young. Every Friday, all the teachers would come together to have story time and read the children a book. I would be so excited for story time because I would sit down with my best friends Ashley and Jordan, and we would listen to the teacher that was assigned to read to us. During story time, all the children would gather around in a big circle and the teacher would be in the center in a big brown rocking chair, and read. Over time in the school year, the children would read bigger and longer books like the Junie B. Jones series, chapter books, and the extreme level, which would be the Harry potter series. Sometimes I would fall asleep because the book that was read was very dull. I remember Ms. Young read to us the “Very Hungary Caterpillar”9 by Eric Carle. I loved that book as a child. It had great illustrations of the caterpillar turning into a butterfly. This book made me love reading for the rest of my life. Now in college, I love to read books. I only

Books convey one’s life to another, to a point that it is perceived relatable. These pieces of literature pry open the tiniest crevices of your imagination. Technology has recently taken over the book world by storm, so it may seem from the general audience that books are not at its finest era. However, to a book enthusiast

‘Because each book has its own special perfume.’ ‘Now you are getting even more weird,’ she whispered,” (Gantos, 238).

Paper books contain biased information. Obsolete books contain updated reliable information that are not found in regular ordinary paper books. Some libraries have thrown away a lot of books ,which is kind of similar to what Fahrenheit 451’s book, because they contain unreliable information and libraries have started to remove books shelves and put desktop computers in their libraries so that readers can interpret and take in unbiased book information. A quote from Fahrenheit 451 relating to this topic “Do you ever read any of the books that you have burned” He jeered, “That’s against the law. “This refers to librarians throwing away the outdated books because they don’t comply with the updated

A book is like a door, without stepping through the door, you will never know what's on the other side. It is a mystery that can only be unveiled if you open it and look through it. Dana Gioia wants us to take that mystery and open it up, as many young adults have lost interest in the action of reading itself.

I have never been as comfortable with people made of flesh and bone than I have been with those made of words. Whatever information I lose in the contours of the human face, I have no trouble locating in the unchanging, permanent text of a book. There is something about literature that felt safe to me; the worlds created within far more welcoming to little girls with problems fitting in than the one outside the pages. For this reason, fiction, from Harry Potter to The Book Thief, has remained my greatest passion ever since I learned to read.

Blow explains in his article how he loves books and how he loved them as a kid. He states, “ We all made a beeline for the toy aisle, but that path led through the section of greeting cards and books. As I raced past the children’s books, they stopped me. Books to me were

There is a beauty in books. Each book opens up your mind to a world unknown. Each page of a book makes you think to yourself "what's going to happen next?". Books give you thoughts and opinions. Books teach you things you never knew. They allow you to escape reality and enter someone else's world. Books

The cover of a book is the first tangible reflection of what a reader may encounter when they pick the book up. Greg Camfield says, “the physical presentation of a piece of literature gives us essential clues about how we are intended to read it” and as I hold all three chapbooks the first thing that strikes me is that “The Branches, the Axe, the Missing” by Charlotte Pence does not have the same inviting tone that the other two books possess. Pence’s chapbook is presented in the shape of a novel and has a slick cover. The graphic on the front lacks the color that would invite a reader to investigate the contents. The other two chapbooks are awash in color and context that is alluring and inviting. When the chapbooks were first handed out my

Only bound to the category of fiction, herds of twelve and thirteen year olds stampeded through the aisles to find the simplest books. The eight foot book shelves and mile wide aisles of the library seemed towering to a prepubescent seventh grader. The sheer amount of choices staggered a middle schooler when compared to the abysmal elementary school selection. Seventh grade level reading prevailed as the new standard, as it clearly reflected in the book options. The idea of falling back to any of my go-to book report choices from elementary school swiftly tapered away. Not knowing what to pick, I made my decision based purely off of the cover, and wandered haphazardly to the overly eager librarians for check out, gazing over the thousands of books as I passed, wondering what if. As mandatory, the librarians flapped their tongues about my amazing decision and congratulated me on getting my “first book of many” for the year. Little did they know, I dreaded having to read. However, I did not know of the amazing story that awaited

And books are a tactile experience, meaning they are supposed to be experienced through touch and smell (especially for the old books). A book is meant to be an experience that can have depressions and elevations on the cover and text, feeling the weight of the pages as you turn them and all of these elements when combined make a book what it is, but when you read an e-book you are exposed to digitized text and a screen. And it’s been proven that when people are exposed to screens of TVs or computers they are less likely to have a good night sleep. On a web poll about e-books vs. books one person commented, ‘I've tried reading a few e-books but I've always given up. I just don't like looking at digitized text when I'm reading a novel. I like the feel, the weight and even the smell of books,’ many of the following comments made by others agreed with this persons thoughts.
