Assignment 1.03

The quiz I took for Assignment 1.03 gave me a result that said my favorite genre was nonfiction and my second favorite was drama. I disagree with this result. While I believe nonfiction can be interesting I do not think it would be my favorite genre as I would much rather read a story that was imagined and is not subject to limitations often placed when a story is based on a real event. If anything I think nonfiction would be my second favorite and drama should be the first. What is the last thing you read and enjoyed and why? The last thing I read and enjoyed was an article on the economic and political changes that took place in the 17th and 18th century in the Ottoman Empire. It was very interesting to read about how Sultan Abdul Mejid had to become more open to other cultures and make various revisions to laws and economic policies to help out the empire during its crisis. It was also very interesting to see how, despit the fact that these reforms were needed, many people actually opposed the changes and felt he had betrayed them. It was informative and entertaining at the same time.
