ENG 108 - Lecture One - Reflection
ReplyDeleteI think it's really dangerous to have only a single story. When you read the story about somу country or human, you have to find out what filling or mood author have about the object what he wrote about.Sometimesauthor have terrible experience in the some of the countries, and then show in his book how country or hhuman is awful, but this is just from his point of view. So, better to have few stories from different people, then you can see both sides of medal.

Having a single story is like having a judge decide your fait without you even getting a chance to have your say; It is not right. If one only knows of one way to complete a specific task, it becomes difficult to expand his or her mind, and learn from things. For example, you may know how to fold a paper plane, but it is the best way; the more efficient way? Perhaps not. One must be able to see different points of view, explore various places and ideas, and take risks in order to gain a better understanding of what he or she is trying to learn. If one becomes stuck with a single story, their whole life is solely based on what they have grown up to believe and understand. In this case, it is as simple as to say, two is better than one; expanding your mind will make you more whole as a person, and more knowledgeable to the world around you.
