FIRST IMPRESSION: SELF-ALLIANCE

My first impression on the essay was that we should not do what society expects us to do and accomplish. After reading that I got some understanding that people are afraid to go outside the box and speak their mind. For example, when teachers ask us if we have any questions, comments, or concerns more than half the time no one asks any questions when deep down we know we have something to say. Is it because no one is asking anything? Is it because we are afraid? Is it because we  are too afraid to get judged by our classmates? When I found out the first sentence was written in Latin I was curious and never seen that on an essay , I feel like it was there for us to find a meaning behind that to keep on reading the whole essay. All these words from the essay I never heard of till Dr. Preston analyzed mostly every sentence or two for us to understand which was so helpful and learned new words and meanings as we read along together.

He felt flustered and agitated when he was simply strolling the streets and then suddenly being stopped by a police officer. He was just enjoying the crisp breeze, the cars cruising by, and the city lights beaming down, which the police officer seems to be taking that as a crime. Bradbury has this real life experience and had so many feelings about the situation that instead of keeping this to himself he went home and portrayed this and wrote it into an actual story.                  Ray Bradbury sets the story in a futuristic setting in the year of 2053. His tone in the story is somewhat lonely. He gives us the image of him walking by himself so clearly and precise to the point that we feel we are walking behind him and just present in that very moment...

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

The link that I chose was the difficult art of the friend breakup because everyone eventually loses friends in their life whether they were mean, used you, drama, or simply you guys just grew apart. I should know it happens to me and many to people I know and rumors people like to share sadly. When I read it I understood why he distanced himself from he fellow friend George. George would talk bad about him, stab him in the back, and bring unhappiness to Steinbeck’s life. I believe he obviously did the right choice because at the end of the day you really on have yourself and cutting George being the toxic friend was beneficial to him.
