Communication: A Personal Opinion, the Memoir of a Student

by James Oliver

This is a personal and thoughtful account of events that took place during a series of university lectures, a literate and philosophical piece of work giving an insight into the authorâ€s original and creative mind while discussing elements related to communication. Initially written as an assignment, it is not only a studentâ€s perspective but also a narrative where the writer draws both from personal observations and experiences, with analysis and opinions clearly expressed. The first chapter — a group exercise described with different terms taken from the scientific world — provides an unusual introduction to the piece. In subsequent sections, various topics are discussed with relevant examples. In a truly original style, the writer expresses his viewpoints, mixing both irony and humour with the use of innumerable metaphors and allegories to produce very powerful literary effects, referring to issues that eventually affect everyone living in a human society. The result is a uniquely interesting and personal memoir — A classic.
