Compare And Contrast Wallace And Mark Greif

While reading the texts by David Foster Wallace and Mark Greif, I began to realize how they both want people to know the standards are set by others and are never meant to fit everybody. Mark Greif discusses capitalism's effect on our health and standards. Wallace mentions the standards of education and its importance. Students' educations change their perspectives in life. The purpose of this paper is to inform people on how standards do not make up for yourself but it is about your morals and ideals that create your future.
To easily provide this information, I have organized my paper into four main sections. In the first section, I provide information on the first chapter of “Against Exercise” and the author's background, and details about

The chapter helps remind me that I can be healthy without going to the gym, without eating more or eating less, and so much more. I appreciate the author for doing this because many need to hear it. I wonder what made him even write this chapter. David seems like a healthy guy, I assume he sees many healthy people, but what made him decide to help people who have not learned as much as him? He mentions how advertisers try to pretend they care, but they have no regard for health. This is shown when he says, “Yet I can't even imagine who is caring - what human heart beats inside this paper trash.”(Greif, 2004) How could anyone notice who has helped by the ruin of the Earth but there are other perspectives? there are the people who love and want to help the earth, they are the people who love and want to help you, and so, so many

Throughout the entire transcript, David remained seemingly sanguine. He taught the seniors one more lesson before they started a new chapter in the world with great confidence and ease.
David’s thesis in his speech is to show how we would feel if others let their anger out on us. We can not only think about ourselves, and that others surrounding us are also equally important. The theme in my opinion is extremely similar, the world does not revolve around one person. This is again similar to the thesis that we are not the only ones that matter and others should be cared for just as we wish we can be treated.
I wonder why the speaker chose to use the metaphor of the old fish and the young fish. I also wonder why he thinks of the story to represent passing on generational knowledge when from my knowledge, the story just proves how unaware we could be of the most abundant commodity surrounding us in our environments. That also could be because I am being a bit too literal.
