On Self Respect

1) Well the effect its suppose to have is to make us think about how those things in the stories go with self-respect. If we have read those books and we know what she is talking about, it could work with what she is trying to do. But because some of us haven't it makes us lost and almost like we need to go a read that story to understand what it is she is talking about. Now some she gave a good detail to the explains she used.

2) I think people could agree with these statements if they knew what was going on or what that story was about. These are a little hard to catch at first so you either have to reread or look up what she was talking about. Now with the whole adultery one I thinks its a good one because its so complex of a topic. To me its really something wrong and people shouldn't do it. And people do they normally don't tell people that they did do it. I don't think its really self-respect because if your with someone why would you cheat on them. Because the only way to have self-respect is to also be able to respect others as well. Because with self-respect people will see that you are honest and trust-worthy that they will respect you.
Some examples of the statements she used:
  • the careless, suicidal Julian English in Appointment in Samarra
  • the careless, incurably dishonest Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby


3) When your writing you have to practice and train yourself to do your work. You have to always practice and do your best in writing things. We have to be willing to let it grow and become as good as it can possible can be. Also writing is a habit to learn as well. we aren't born to writing we have to learn how to write and we have to practice it all the time.

  1. I think you did a great job on all three of your answers. You can really tell you put a lot of thought into them.
