Ears Of The Matter Analysis

The Eyes and Ears of the Matter I was born to father working in electronics company and a mother working in local insurance company. I have hard time recalling my early days of my life. But I do remember that my parents loved to take pictures. Even to this day I see numerous pictures my mother had taken. I do not have a clear memory when I was an infant but I do remember where our family went. One place I remember is local public park. This park had lots of flowers during spring so my mother enjoyed to take my picture in the backgrounds of plants. Another place I remember is art museum. My parents loved going to zoos and museums. We almost traveled every week to visit a new museum. Back then I had no clue why my family loved going to museums but now I understand and really enjoys recalling that experience. Among many museums me and my parents have visited, the most memorable ones are aquarium in San Diego California.

    While I may have been raised in a small town in North Carolina and C.S. Lewis raised in Ireland, we both came to experience a great moment in both of our lives that had a lot of similarities. He was born in 1898 and I was born in 1998, I came in this world right at a year after he did. The amount of change that happened in the world during that time did not change the same key components of family, nature, and beauty that were all used in both of our special events. My experience with the Blyde River Canyon, was extremely similar to C.S. Lewis’s experience with the Toy Garden. My moment came when I was taken on a trip to south africa with my grandparents and my two younger cousins.…

My two great grandmothers passed away within weeks of each other, my Papa (cousin’s grandfather) passed a few months later, my father passed away in June of 2014, and my Papa (father’s father) died in August of 2015.
