Staying power

What I believe stays with you after you read, is the ways the author describes things. If he or she describes something so clear we can imagine being in that exact spot or situation, it makes us understand the story/book much better. Also the main idea of the story, if it is something interesting to us we will remember the story much more. The lesson the author gives us can impact our way of seeing things, which is why we remember certain things from a reading. However, that is not always the case when we can’t remember certain things from a story/book it’s probably because we didn’t really understand what it was trying to say, it wasn’t giving us an idea of the environment with good descriptive words. Or simply because the theme and main idea doesn’t really interest us.

Response to “Dream Within a Dream”

What I understand from the poem “Dream Within a Dream” is that it seems hard to understand what is a dream and what it real life. It is also really hard to remember what your dream was about even after you just woke up. No matter how had you try to remember it the less you seem to know what you were dreaming about and even the most basic details about it. The author also want to show how he would like to hold on to them for a long period of time so he can remember at least the good things in life, even if that comes from just a dream.

Brave New World Theme

From reading the book Brave New World the theme for me is loneliness. In the beginning we are introduced to Bernard, when we meet him he feels like he doesn’t fit in. He seems to be different from others and thinks differently than the people from the World State. People in the World State take soma and do sexual things in order to please themselves and others because they feel empty inside. John also feels out of place when he arrives to the World State that he wants to leave to the island. 

I am GSD

As an independent learner I believe that it makes me understand a topic more. I can take as much time I want on a specific topic, without anyone telling me to rush my learning process. I feel like I can gather important information when I do my own research. When I become a independent learner it feels like it makes me more motivated and responsible as a person. It motivates me because I know what I need to improve on and I find ways to get better. It also makes me responsible because I know what I need to understand and how to increase my learning in anyway.
