So in the beginning, I had an impression that all he is trying to do is to show us, beginners and complete newbies when it comes to Electricity, that he had certain struggles while learning about electricity the hard way, not engaging one. Therefore, he mentioned it multiple times; his primary goal is to help us learn more about Electron theory and how does electricity work in a more fun way than the one he was taught by in his time. Going ahead, he would explain us the basics of Electron theory and try to make it relatable by connecting it somehow to our life. For instance, we know that opposite ( electrons and protons) charges do attract each other, which he believes, “would be a good rule for all of us to follow in our lives.” (11) Towards the middle of the book, he started opposing the Electron theory, trying to make us doubt it is real, making us feel as if we are part of a new generation that has to think differently if we want to understand the real explanation of how does electricity work. Later on, he started telling us about his encounters with a “Greenie” and a Wizard. That’s where I lost track of what was happening. I felt like he was pretty much describing the same Electron theory but in his own, more simplified, way, which I believe was indeed pretty fun to read but did not explain me anything new.
Overall, it was interesting to read and more importantly gave me certain ideas on how to write academic journals if needed.
