scuttlebutt: As I was reading the article for Jolliffe and Harl I came across the word scuttlebutt that I was unfamiliar with. I didn't know what it meant so I researched for the definition and it means gossip or rumor. It relates to the reading by seeing if the rumor's about reading is true. By this, it relates to life by figuring out why it is that students' don't read as much for their academics.
