Download or read book Don t Worry About the Future There s Not One written by A.C. Skipper and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to be used for oral interpretation. It is about the disappearing art of reading aloud for entertainment. I was a speech major at California State University at Long Beach in the early seventies and was required to speak and read aloud on many occasions. It is not an art easily developed and frightens many otherwise-stout personalities. One major component is eye contact. That is most difficult while reading from the written page. The problem is returning the eye to the spot on the page required to continue reading. This book has been designed to give ample spacing to help overcome this problem and entertain others with different styles of delivery. I hope you will enjoy reading the offerings in this book to others.
