HOW TO GET TO GRACELAND

Most of the assignment we do in class I would rather work individually. I feel like when I don’t have others waiting for me to understand something or to solve a certain problem, I feel like I can take my time to understand something in my own way. Although, I usually enjoy being independent sometimes I enjoy reading alone and then discussing it with people to have a better understanding about the main idea. Also to see different point of views and how others see things differently than me and why. I think my experience somewhat aligns with what we saw in the Paul Simon video because when I feel other people have different ideas to a certain topic I usually want to hear how they feel or see something that maybe doesn’t really impact me. Then I can understand why they see things the way they do and I can also put my input so others can understand me.

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.
