    The first journal that caught my attention and fit the category of “a personal response to a theme/topic in the novel” was providing a narrative which exemplifies my relationship with my best friend: the fourth journal entry. The reason why I chose this specific journal is because it really tackled the personal experience I once had with my former relationship and how it tied in with knowledge and beliefs. My interpersonal relationship with my former best friend resembled a certain situation that the characters in the book discussed; in both instances, both of us changed our views on seeing the advantages and disadvantages of a problem and seeing what consequences come with each side. Being in a relationship is a gateway to learning new things…

    I chose this site because it looked extremely informative and a well-published American Historian, David Saville Muzzey, wrote the article of writing, so I knew that it would be accurate. The site gives an in-depth description about the settling of the New England colonies in December of 1620. In the article, I read that the initial voyage to Plymouth was “never granted a charter by the King”, which means that in the eyes of the English, the small colony was never actually legal. This makes the whole idea of colonizing New England interesting because the Pilgrims seem to be rebellious and when I hear “rebel”, Pilgrims are the last thing on my mind because of how religious they are.…

This quote form the text was the key phrase that made me realize it, “There’s discovery to be made and wonder to be had on the journey that not only enrich the ending but in many ways define it.” The author it is trying to convey that we need to take every step of the way seriously and to take our time and let the mystery in whether we are watching a series playing a game or just going through life. A question that pops into my mind after readying this article is why are we always in a hurry to get to the end or finish something?…
