Thu, 18 Feb 2021 11:13:25 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253210?scroll_to=2304175 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253210?scroll_to=2304175 All throughout this story our narrator keeps talking about how the voices of his grandfather keep coming back to him, and he keeps trying to push it away. It is clear that they left a lasting impact on our narrator. I wonder how often our narrator actually sits and thinks about what his grandfather said or if everytime he thinks of his grandfather he just pushes them away.

For one example, there have been a few instances at work where one of my managers have crossed the line with some of the things that they have gotten mad at myself and fellow coworkers for and looking back on those situations, there were a few things that I wanted to say them that were just impulsive thoughts that did not really hold any truth and would have just made the entire situation worse than it already was. I have also been "managing impulsivity" by not buying every cool piece of technology that I see that I want when I see adds and what not while online.

There are some exceptions for serious topics where humor should not be utilized, but outside those few exceptions, humor is something that should always be welcomed.

Hogan is a member of the Chickasaw tribe. Her poem is about her ancestors experience on the Trail of Tears. I found a connection between these two poems because they both deal with facing the overall same struggle, but are being faced in different ways. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/57881/trail-of-tears-our-removal Tue, 26 Jan 2021 05:59:44 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/252045?scroll_to=2292191 https://nowcomment.com/documents/252045?scroll_to=2292191 Denise Sweet has a connection to "An American Sunrise" because she helped make sure and encouraged Native American voters to come out and vote during the 2020 election making sure that their voices were heard showing that they 'are still America.'

Besides, even if you can get one person to go along with it, I do not know if you could get multiple people to as well which would kind of ruin the effectiveness of it.

We, as humans, typically only hangout with people that agree with what we think and see the world the same way that we see it, so gaining more colleagues would not open you up to more perspectives, but rather keep showing you the same perspective over and over again which would just solidify more and more in your head that your point is the right one.

With everything going on with the pandemic and associated events and activities, it all could change on a dime. I remember distinctly my first day at work after everything had shut down and how the day before everything seemed normal and how eerie and quiet it felt on that first day shutdown.

So, with that said, even though this sounds like an excellent idea on paper, I do not think that it would really work out well in reality.

I feel like this is true because no one likes to admit that they were wrong about something.

Everyday it seems like there is something new and unpredictable happening that we did not see.

Everyone's opinion is a true opinion because there is no such thing as a false or wrong opinion so then why should be have to be taught to state our opinions as true if they always are?
