BQ: First Steps

I think the best place to answer my big question would be Google.com. I have found Google to be a reliable source for me so far in my education. To start I will type in my question. Then I will check out a few different links and see which ones seem legit. If I get a couple of different sources that have the same answer to my question, then my big question will be answered.

the medium is the message

I definitely enjoyed watching "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" better than reading it. Reading it does induce people to use their imagination more, such as picturing how a person or town looks in their head. On the other hand watching it makes it easy to understand because some people, like me, benefit from visuals and also can't always understand whats going on in the story due to the authors diction and syntax.
