The minor addiction I am giving up is soda drinks to be more exact I want to focus on soda drinks that contain caffeine. I am choosing this above all else because I do know that I consume a lot so this is honestly a push in the right directors. The reason I am also choosing caffeine sodas such as Pepsi or Coca-Cola is that this is my only source of caffeine meaning whenever I need that extract push to wake me up I usually drink a Pepsi or cola to give me that extra strength in the morning or in the afternoon while I’m studying or doing my homework and I’m tired. Plus I have always wanted to see what would happen if I just quit cold turkey. Since I have tried in the past then have given up halfway since I didn’t see it as a big deal but I am committed to seeing this through to the end. When it comes to the outcome and how I see everything playing out I do believe I will want to quit middle way through just because I know the type of person I am, and I know that if I see a Pepsi in front of me on a hot summer day I am going to be contemplating weather to not I can do this or not or weather or not I should give in. But like I said I hope to see this through to the end.

The angle I want to choose that I find most interesting would be “literature as the integration of language” I chose this one to talk more about it because I liked that it states that literature is the gateway to every language. this expresses that it doesn’t matter what language you speak or read the literature will always be there. I like this concept or this overall thought because it will say that no matter what literature will be there no matter the language you speak literature is the opening to new theories and thoughts, and I believe that is what the author is trying to state when he states that.

The brain- is wider than the sky- by Emily Dickinson shows me what literature is because of the way it makes me think and makes me think about how one line could mean two different meanings, and how she words certain lines to make them stand out to the reader. An example of it is when she states. “the brain is just the weight of god” here the reader has to think about what she means, from what I read I believe what she is stating is that the brain can absorb and take in as much information as needed, basically saying that the mind/brain is just like the sea or sky. which is why I consider it a piece of literature because it is comparing two items that are not normally compared and making the reader think. the author could have just easily related the brain to a computer and could have stated many aspects that were similar when it came to both of them yet she chose these specific words and tied them back to the brain forcing the reader to think about her statements. This is what I believe to be literature when an author has to make the reader think about the words they put in their piece of writing, which is exactly what Dickinson showed us here in this piece of poetry
