David Foster Wallace This Is Water Summary

Decent Essays
While reading David Foster Wallace's "This is Water," I realized how much I understood what he was communicating. I was thinking why the young fish did not ask the older fish what water is. The young fish could have learned something new. Maybe the young fish did not want to embarrass itself because the way the older fish asked the question makes it seem like every fish should know what water is. The young fish did ask the other young fish, but they are probably friends and have the same intelligence level. What I get from this is to be open-minded and get out of your friend circle because there is so many other people you can learn from and befriend.

Another connection I made with the speech is the story about adult life. Situations are going

Although a very commonly used force of change, water is shown in many different ways such as rivers and snow. In Thomas Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor, he describes snow as “clean, stark… playful, suffocating, filthy” (80). Foster writes this in order to present the reader with many different effects snow can have on someone or something. For example, in A Separate Peace, snow is used to represent the coming effect World War II will have on the Devon boys.…

    She points out how important it is to know that you are not alone. She felt comfortable sharing her story when she knew others had too. She is very blunt when using logos to get her message across. She simply states, “If over these years, just one adult listened, and had the courage and character to act, this tragedy could have been avoided.” This statement is very logical and straight to the point; however, Raisman is exactly right.…

    I think that he was trying to speak to his audience that they should take risks in life and see everything that they can when given the chance because you never know when that will be cut short and you don’t want to have any regrets. I really agree with the point of view of this text. I’ve always liked traveling, not so that I could tell people how they “need to go visit this place” because of this that in the other thing, but for my own personal reasons. I’ve always tried to live life in the moment and I think that people really should stop worrying so much about their futures, sure it’s something that I think about but it’s nothing that I dwell on because I don’t want to miss what’s happening in the present.…

    In his speech “This is Water”, creative writer, David Foster Wallace outlines to Kenyon College graduates of 2005, the struggles that are out there in the world. David Foster Wallace is aware that as college graduates, they have never taken into consideration the deeper aspects of life most people are not mindful of when entering the real world. It seems that Wallace, by the end of the speech, hoped to have opened the minds of these graduates and aid them in coming to realization and reality. Wallace, although being older than the graduates, reinforces to them that he may be older, he is definitely not the wise the fish or nearly as wise as the fish from the anecdote he had commenced his speech with. He does this to establish credibility…

    The books and articles I read this summer taught me to take common topics and change the way I look at them. They covered a wide variety of subjects such as adult life, capital punishment, school shootings, and how my own mind works. They all received critical acclaim and it is obvious why.

David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech to Kenyon College graduates has received praise because of his ability to break the set pattern of commencement speeches.…
