It makes me almost feel like is the knowledge you gain from school even worth it if your, creativity, passion for learning, and your overall look at life get nullified.

I definitely think school is important but in some way, it feels like it kills the kids inside people by suppressing the passions loved by some.

It's unfortunate that as one grows up the feelings of everything else in life kill people's imaginations.

I feel like parents/guardians/teachers should teach kids about this instead of basically leaving them in the dark and letting them deal with something that's hard to deal with.

It was made to make you feel bad for those who are in a place where everyone speaks a different language than they do. Thu, 11 Mar 2021 14:34:16 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2375321 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2375321 Sedaris Shows how one can make one doubt themselves which is an instance where everyone can relate. Since people can relate this is an appeal to Pathos and a good one at that since it really can pull at the reader's emotions.

Through his passion for the french language drove him to continue to get better even when he felt that he wasn't. David Sedaris shows the reader the rewards for not giving in to defeat, which is what I believe the purpose of this essay is.

I find the hypocrisy in the fact that she can speak any language she wants but the students can only speak french to be really unfair especially when the teacher is a master at the language. Thu, 11 Mar 2021 13:32:00 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2372511 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2372511 The difference in the praise given to a "honors" student and a "regular" is pretty evident. Those that show academic excellence deserve rewards but the "regulars" shouldn't be cast aside like all they have done is fall behind the ones that are sprinting forward.

He continued to the point where some would assume that he went to school even though he was in prison. I find this moving since many people don't have the need to go to schools and learn but despite that, it isn't impossible to learn about the "important" subjects that school teaches you.

I wonder if that will change on an "important" age like eighteen.

The marked stone that signifies someones resting spot brings with it a scary but also reassuring message.

Morrie saying that it is impossible for the old to not envy the young makes sense.

Did something happen to Morrie which involved a lawyer? Mon, 11 Jan 2021 13:59:24 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2186670 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2186670 I find this scene to be a heartwarming departure of friends. He lets Lucien know that he means a business which is his somewhat catchphrase, he talks to Norman about how much he has learned about keys and doughnuts, then when he goes to talk to Arnold Arnold sort of refuses the goodbye. The scene of Arnold still being made is like a raincloud appearing on a sunny day then it appears to vanish when Arnold says goodbye as the train is leaving.

When Jack takes Barry back to the Pro Shot Golf Range Barry had the proper grip and wasn't shaking then hit the ball like a pro. Jack was proud of Barry but not because of the shot but because of the fact that he hit it at least. The difference between Jack and Barry's dad is that Barry could have hit the ball for his dad but if the swing or hit wasn't good enough he still would have thought of his son as a disappointment. Jack has more love and compassion for Barry as a person instead of loving whether he can do something or not.

I think Rupi Kaur is trying to reach out to the people that need reassurance and is trying to tell them to let others help them. If you try and lone wolf your whole life will you ever experience happiness or will you just be pretending your whole life? Friends and family lighten up almost every situation so if you have either I would encourage those to get help from one. Thu, 29 Oct 2020 08:49:47 -0400
