To start this journal‚ I would just like to say "Genre Fiction" should not be compared‚ honestly with "Literary Fiction." After reading the short story by Benjamin Percy‚ "Refresh‚ Refresh‚" I became very depressed. After reading the "Literary Revolution in the Supermarket Aisle: Genre Fiction is Disruptive Technology‚" I discovered why. "Refresh‚ Refresh" is what I would call a piece of Literary Fiction.

High School Paulo Freire’s essay “The Banking Concept of Education” talks about two methods of teaching. These methods are the banking concept and the problem-posing method. When it comes to the topic of education‚ most of us will readily agree that Freire makes a good point by saying students are used as “patient listening objects”. Where this agreement usually ends‚ however‚ is on the question of how the teacher and student roles can be reversed. Whereas some are convinced that teachers and students

For some people‚ the purpose of life is to be remembered‚ or to be able to leave a footprint for the future generations to admire‚ however‚ that is not always the case. In the poem “Ozymandias” by Percy Bysshe Shelley‚ the author suggests that when an individual is too conceited or too self-indulgent‚ evidences of those qualities will be left from that time for the future generations to scrutinize and critique and eventually unveil the true nature of public figure with high status.

Freire’s Philosophy of Education In the banking concept of education‚ Paulo Freire states that the education students receive is “banking” because the teacher is constantly depositing information in the student’s mind; information that is detached from reality and disconnected from its significance. He says that one of the biggest problems of this misguided system of education is the lack of creativity and inquiry.

The reader could enjoy reading complex mathematical theorems
