    The first quote that really motivated me was Joan Didon’s quote "Was it only by dreaming or writing that I could find out what I thought?" This really inspired me to think past of who I am as a writer and how I bring myself to the page with my strengths and weaknessess. For me the greatest part of writing is daydreaming and witnessing the transformation I go through when dreaming the dream of my story until it breaks out of the writing down of it which I always find hard.…

    Never Give Up Quotes

    • 335 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I think one of the themes in this book “Exposed” is Never Give Up. Don’t ever give up on anything you want to and never let it slip without fighting. In the book it says, " She's been avoiding me all week long.” page 45. Yes the girl was avoiding her, but she never stopped trying to talk to her, like in this quote she talks about it with her, " Im sorry, Liz, but I can’t be with you anymore.Every time i’m with you I see him.” pg 131 " I thought we were friends! Forever-Best-Friends!” pg 130 I think she was brave for trying to keep cool and try to fix it. She never gave up on the friendship she want to still have and have her inner life.Another theme I thought was in this book is trust, it talks a lot about how Liz doesn’t believe Kate yet…

    Wisdom Sits in Places

    • 784 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Keith H. Basso’s Wisdom Sits in Places: Landscape and Language Among the Western Apache delivers a strong message regarding human connections between place, identity, and origins in relation to the idea of place-names. Every place evokes an association to a story and/or a person/ancestor bearing a moral message that allows the Western Apache to shape their beliefs, behaviors, identities, etc. It is through this connection to the land that the Apache begin to define their understanding of their lives.…

    Aphorism

    • 405 Words
    • 2 Pages

    “The way to be safe, is to never be secure.” Benjamin Franklin once said this statement. But what does it mean? Being unsure keeps you from doing many things. A lot of people probably think a secure person probably does the right things and is always so sure about everything. But really that is what sometimes causes mistakes in peoples lives. For example, if you’re with your friends and they want to do something that you know is wrong, someone who feels secure might not think about the possibilities of things that could go wrong because they feel safe or un-doubtful of something possibly happening. Then the police ends up catching you and your friends. If you would have been skeptical you would have you would have thought about it twice and the possibilities of something happening including the risks. I think being unsure can also be referred to as your conscience because your conscience is the battle that goes on in your head debating between right and wrong, and thinks about the possible consequences. It’s what actually stops you from doing what you’re not so sure of.…

    The amazing thing about Emerson's aphorisms is the fact that the truths he wrote in the past still applies to everyone, including myself, in the present. I especially agree with the aphorism above because I had an experience this past summer that relates to its simplicity. My love for traveling to new places brought my brother and myself to Thailand during our summer vacation, which was a break from home and the stress that comes with it. During our three week trip, we were offered the opportunity, along with 10 other high school students in our group, to make a 4x4 off road trek through jungles and remote villages to a Burmese Refugee Camp. After we arrived in the afternoon, we did small service projects throughout the expansive area. At night,…
