Tuesdays with Morrie
- Morrie began to enjoy his dependency. He enjoyed when others would do tasks for him. It is familiar to him because it reminded him of times when he was a child when someone would bathe or wiped him. These memories allowed him to enjoy his dependency. If sometime in the future I will become as dependant as Morrie I would feel like a huge burden for others.
- I think I can agree with his statement. Nowadays teens are more succumbed to other’s opinion. They would think that being popular by looks is being on top of the world. This is clearly not a good thing because teens will only depend on others rather their own opinion.
- I think that when you finally found the meaning in your life, you will not want to look back. You want to strive forward, see what life had prepared for you in the future. You’ve already unveiled all of the secrets of the past and I think this is the main reason we would not want to come back.
- I think Morrie is not sad about aging. In fact, he is pretty exited about it. He is now looking back on his previous ages and is very happy that he’s been through all of them. He could be five year old, thirty year old, fifty year old, doesn’t matter. The main point is that he lived through these times and could be whatever he wanted.
Silver Chair
- When Jill first woke up she thought that she ended up it the wretched underworld again. But after she realised that she was laying in bed, she became relieved and remembered all the great times they had the night before. The supper they had last night was superb. There was a feast with many different scrumptious foods you could ever imagine.
- Puddleglum was told to stay in bed to wait for the arrival of the Cloud-Birth, the healer, so that he could look at his burned foot. Puddleglum suggested that he would cut his whole ankle off. But in reality he is really happy to stay in bed.
- Everyone felt uneasy when they saw a barely living body of the king being carried in his deathbed to his son until he eventually gave up and passed away.
- Eustace was asked to grab a thorn from a thicket and drive it inside the Aslan’s paw. Eustace hesitated but Aslan convinced him that it was fine. The blood dripped onto King Caspian’s dead body that was layed in the running water. Then blood covered his body around them and after that his body started drastically growing younger until eventually he was resurrected.
- Then Aslan roared, the sun shook in the sky and 30-feet tall wall collapsed before them. Then our heroes could see the familiar Experimental house, the gym and the shrubbery where their journey started. When the bullies came they only saw a huge lion and three deadly armed figures. Jill, Eustace and Caspian had enough strength to take down three of them with ease. After the brawl, bullies withdrew from the scene. After that, Head showed up to see what was the fuss about and she witnessed a broken wall, the lion, and three “convicts”. She had hysterics and went back to her home to report the scene to the police. While that was happening, our three heroes fled quickly to change into their simple clothes. When she returned with police by her side there was nothing, no broken wall, no convicts, and no lion. Police then investigated the place and got 10 people expelled from the House because of their wrongdoings. The head then ended up in the parliament where she lived happily. Everything in the school changed after that and Jill and Eustace became good friends.
This paragraph was a very great way to wrap up the story. I really liked that all of the characters had their own development throughout the book and it all came nicely in the end. This was a fun adventure.
I’ve recently read an article on different beautiful places in the world. And oe of these places was The Redwood national park. The park was filled with huge sequoia trees that were 350 feet high and are the age of 2000 years old. I googled how these trees look and was astonished by their sheer size. I hope someday to see these trees in person.
