neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business (revised edition)
. read and review the entire book.
2 pages summary of the entire book
In this section, you could discuss what the author writes about, and what he does not discuss. As an example, what elements in the book are treated with priority and privilege? What is required in this section is more than just a simple synopsis of the book. Instead, you should give an accurate and balanced description of the book’s relevant content.
The next two pages of the review should consist of your critical reflections on the book. What are its strengths? What are its weaknesses? Again, as an example, you might discuss the language that the author uses, and what this has to say about inclusivity, or his understanding of the role(s) of women, children and men. Remember that this review should be a contribution to scholarly discussion and, therefore, be free of purely personal polemic. In this section, you may also wish to examine the theoretical framework used by author, and how that framework leads to the work that he has written.
