Why I Write

I think he has a good point when he says that no matter what, anytime you put words on paper that it is a secret tactic of bullying. The reason I agree with this is because that whenever I write a paper, I somehow always jend up putting my opinion in that paper. I believe everyone does because it is human nature, you always want people to know your opinion. Even if it has nothing at all to do with your life or anything concerning you. Another good point he makes is that when you try to force yourself to do something, in his case learn, that you often find yourself thinking about something else that puzzles your mind. Sometimes when I am in class I find myself wondering if I locked the door or what the place we ride dirt bikes looks like if its raining. Your brain just thinks of anything to keep itself going. He also says that on his trips to Sacramento that he does not remember much about what Milton but rather the smell of butter. For some reason I find this to be true with almost everyone. When you go some where and you smell a particular smell, it seems to stick with you no matter how long ago it was. Hospitals, in my case, are the most notable smell that I will never forget or always recognize. No matter where I am in the world or if it is thirty years from now, I always will know the smell of a hospital. I was confused by what he meant with the whole picture and there was shimmer behind the cat.

  1. Good points, Ben - but Joan is a SHE, not a HE.

    Our sense of smell is closely linked to our memory.
