Knowledge Is Power Essay

In all h adeptsty, prior to reading Jake Helperns articles and meeting him in person, I thought he was some elder white guy with a slightly tiresome style of write as well as being even more boring in person, but somehow everyone else finds his work fascinating. But since I requisite some extra credit points, I took on the challenge of the assignment. bright to announce my notions of Jake Helpern were totally wrong. Reading Jake Helperns articles were like reading a well written novel.His stories had flare, suspense, character, drama and even a touch of lugubriousness and empathy. For the most part his articles were not just engaging but as well as very informative. Content versus Form, Content wins. In person, Jake appeared to be just one of the guys. Nothing fancy about himself, very humble and charismatic. After earreach to Jake speak briefly about his life, family and his pursuit of his innate being, you can tell hes sincere and dedicated to his craft and family.Jake was also implemental in terms of being relative due to his Western in the raw York origins. He can relate to Buffalonians and our struggle as a urban center in a financial crisis, where one side of the citys future is in question while another side of the citys future looks lucrative. If the question is posed if Jakes articles are a considered artwork, I would agree and disagree. The two articles we covered in class, I commit Jake wrote them with an artistic style of writing.To me, artwork is anything not ephemeral. Jakes articles can be preserved, but not on the same scale as the big(p) Pyramids of Egypt or the Tajmahal in India. However, his articles can also be considered non-fiction. Through this experience, I pondered on becoming a writer. I learned academically as well as personal discovery of myself. If Jake were to return to speak again, Im there.
