In My Ishmael the chapters called School Daze and School Daze II, are we interesting topic to talk about they talk about Rachel Sokolow and how Ishmael watched grow up and start school and how excited she was but as she grew older here lack of interest increased. As Rachel Sokolow grew away from school Ishmael grew closer wanting more knowledge. Here is a quote from My Ishmael, “People imagine
That they'd like to see their children enter the workplace with really useful business skills, but if they
Actually did so, they'd immediately begin competing for jobs with their older siblings and their parents,
Which would be catastrophic. And if graduates came out of school with advanced skills, who would bag
the groceries, Julie? Who would do the sweeping up? Who would pump the gas? Who would do the
filing? Who would flip the burgers?"
"I suppose it would turn into an age thing."
"You mean you'd tell Johnny Smith and Jennie Jones that they can't have the jobs they want, not
because others are more qualified but because others are older."
Hi Vinnie,one of the things I liked most about your dialectic journal was that you wrote what you thought about the quote before you stated it. It gave me a clear image of what happened when you described how as Ishmael watched Julie grow up her lack of interest increased. I also thought that the quote you chose was a good one to connect to because you were able to describe the chapter in good detail. Good Job!

Hey Vinnie,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed how you summarized the chapter in the beginning, and then shared the quotes you liked. Several questions I have are, what did you like about those quotes? Why did you choose this quote? And what does this quote mean to you?

Where is your reflection on the quote? I'm not sure why you picked the one you did.
