English III #2

     This year, we did a lot of reading, writing, talking, and presenting. Of all the stuff we did in English III, my favorite was our last lecture. During the Last Lecture's, I was able to learn a lot about my fellow classmates. The Last Lecture made me think about how cruel life can be. Listening to other people's stories made me realize the hardship people went through. I never thought the events can be filled with tragedy.
     While growing up, I had a happy life, I met people with there own happy stories. The only events I experienced tragedy was when I was reading books. I never thought I would meet people who had experienced something very tragic in their lives. After listening to other classmates Last Lectures, I started to think differently. Knowing someone who went through bad times and is still smiling tells me how strong a person can be.
     The only bad experience I have was when I was arguing with my brother. Usually we tend to argue over small unimportant things, for example, food. After arguments I would usually forget them easily and return my life back to normal. Seeing how other people experienced more tragic events, I cannot stop thinking about how people are able to stay strong. If an event is very tragic or important, you cannot lose that memory easily. Usually people would have to grow up remembering these events. This is similar to Gatsby in "The Great Gatsby".
     In "The Great Gatsby", Gatsby grows up thinking about money and daisy. Past events made Gatsby trying to achieve the impossible. People tend to say the past makes who you are today, well I think you can become a better person b learning from the past. You don't necessarily have to be who you were in the past, you just have to learn from the past to become a better person. The Last Lecture's helped me realize how people are able to learn and become a greater person.
