Reflection Homework

     Putting chapter 29 in Jefferson's point of view gave readers an insight on Jefferson's feelings. Telling Jefferson's point of view made the book personal and gave readers an emotional feeling. Since Jefferson did not speak to much throughout the book, putting his personal thoughts in the book finally help me understand what kind of person Jefferson really was. Jefferson thoughts help my come to the conclusion that he is not a hog, but in fact a human with emotions.
     Describing in depth how Jefferson's execution day went sent my emotions in a spiral. I feel as though Grant should have been there for Jefferson's execution because Jefferson trusted Grant the most. The Sheriff was more concerned about Jefferson writing good things about him in his diary than Jefferson's well being. The quietness of the plantation showed the love everyone has for Jefferson. In my opinion, Jefferson did die as a man and Grant helped Jefferson grow as a person.

"A sudden, darkly powerful sense of guilt had struck home; he responded prudishly, tearing himself from her arms." (Pg 133) This quote represents the man vs. self conflict. Kien wants to be with Phuong but his going off to war soon is preventing him from getting close to her.

When You Throw a Party and Nobody Comes

Summary      The article, "When you throw a party and nobody comes", is about a group, PCTA, who throws parties and no one attends. The group could not understand the lack of attendance. PCTA never once considered their party throwing skills were the problem. The group came up with three possible factors of the lack of attendance. The first being isolation from big population. The second being isolation from big roads. The last factor being isolation from a social scene. With those possible problems the PCTA also came up with possible solutions. The solutions include: hold more parties, more outreach, and send experienced volunteers from other sections of the trail to lead and mentor new local volunteers in isolated areas.  Questions 1. Could the lack of attendance come form the purpose of the parties? 2. Could it just be that the PCTA is bad at hosting parties? Facts 1. Through the Goat Rocks and William O. Douglas Wilderness, the PCT is in bad shape
