Prayers do not cost anything, yet are still very valuable! Please pray for me! With a clean heart and should because Allah abhors haters!!!! LOL. Before beginning and after finishing each prayer, please recite the following. I’ve provided translations for my loves of other faiths, and for Moslems the Arabic and the transliterations are available. […]

Nadia Tahreem ENG 3880 English Studies in the Digital Age Dr. Jennifer Travis 04/22/14 The Concept and Portrayal of Privacy in Literature   Literature consists of various genres, it would be inappropriate to classify a novel under a single genre. Certain works of literature have genres inside genres that are already present. As puzzling as […]

I’m not too sure how to link articles or hashtag research. I see them on facebook, but how do you link your research other a works cited page?

I do not own a kindle. But I saw my friend reading a James Baldwin piece on her tablet. She kept complaining how she could not get the pages right, but it was easy to carry a tablet in her purse and I had to admit, the device was pretty cool. But I could feel […]

I googled myself. Unsurprisingly, only a few things showed up. Some silly Myspace photos from high school and a link to my facebook page. That just proves that I do not expose myself to the internet too much. I was considering a career on Youtube, but now I think better of it. I value privacy […]

Since I intend on writing a research paper, the tools I’ am considering are ebsco host, Jstor, and googling other things. There is a lot that I wish to say bout this topic, but I intend to back it up some by doing research.

I was thinking that perhaps researching the concept of privacy might be a good topic to write about. We read The Circle, and it emphasized a lot on privacy as something bad. A question for me is: what si privacy and What Are the factors of privacy? I intend to also conduct research on social […]

The Circle is very similar to The Devil Wears Prada, The Giver, and 1984. Even bits and pieces of it remind me of Harry Potter too. It suggests danger. Mae Holland is similar to Andy Sachs from the Devil Wears Prada because both girls try to do crazy things simply for the sake of their […]

I don’t know about others, but I totally dislike the character Mae Holland. I don’t even know why she is the main character because there is not really much about her that sets her apart from others. She is very comparable to Isabella Swan from the failed Twilight books, because like Bella, Mae appears to […]

The Circle has no end. Everything is connected and the end eventually will lead to the beginning. The circle is closed. and that is where Mae Holland is. She is closed. Completely closed from privacy. She is not a thief, she shares everything, and she eventually will be a top rated employee. But she is […]

http://productivemuslim.com/the-attitude-of-gratitude-a-productive-muslims-approach-to-life/ OK, so this is not an annoying way to advocate Islam, but seriously, after reading this article, I thought that the best part of it teaches an important life lesson: TO BE GRATEFUL!!!! Aaaaaaah!!! It is such a shame that we are taught to be competitors and in some way humans are greedy, be […]

Inspired by Draw My Life videos

Ok, I’m starting to master the concept of digital storytelling. Please bear with me, I totally suck at drawing, and drawing with a mouse and keyboard is a tough challenge and requires bravery at it’s best level to present it. Also, try not to take notice of the nasty man voice. I’m no Taylor Swift, […]

The only internet go to I have is FaceBook and Youtube. Watching music videos are fun, and it is always good to keep up with what your friends and family are up to. Some of the posts on FaceBook are so stupid, like silly pictures of coke bottles and certain rubbish obscene things, but FaceBook […]

Welcome to my blog: takini2010, the corruption of my nickname and my semi favorite year of my life: 2010. 

Leah Price thinks that we are what we read. Well, I’m not too sure that I think I’m a book, but nonetheless reading is a favorite pastime of mine. The scent of pages bound together in a novel can’t possibly be replaced by the sliding of a Kindle. If I were an author, I’d much rather have published, […]

Technology and me??? Unfortunately, (yes, truly sadly it is unfortunate) I am not the best of friends with technology. I stick to old school things, and dislike any kind of hi tech stuff, like kindles, iPads, iPhones, iPods, you name it, I don’t have it. It sucks, but I seriously lack the confidence in moving […]

“It is not our abilities that show who we truly are. It is our choices.” -Albus Dumbledore. In other words, just because technology is the trend does not mean I will join the iPhone fad. :-)
