Personal Narrative: What We Is In Front Of Us

355 Words2 Pages

I chose this quote because it seemed like the truth to me. To me the author of the quote is trying to convey a deep truth that people do not want to see so they just push it away like it didn’t matter. When we go outside we discover our true selves and we actually conversate with people. Phones and electronics distract us from the people who are in front of us and who care about us. It also makes it to where we can’t see the mass destruction that we have had on our world. All we see is the little screen that is in front of our faces. In a sense we are tuning out the world but we are tuning in to the screens that in front of us. We don’t realize what we have until we lose it. This is like saying we have earth but we use and abuse it and when we do lose it we will come to our senses. This is what I think he or she means by saying that we lose our senses. …show more content…

To me this part remind me of when i go outside and go on a walk with my family and we actually talk and are aware of what is happening around us. For example when teenagers walk they are looking down at their phones and they get hit by a car or kidnapped because they weren’t paying attention to their surroundings or they on a walk through nature and they don’t realize how much trash there is around them. Since the teen did not see the trash there is some poor animal that is slowly dying because the teen was to busy on their phone playing and texting their friends. That sense of common sense was blocked because of a tiny little screen was blocking it. So to me the author said or wrote this quote because he wanted the truth of everyone to come out. Everyone is guilty of blocking their senses because something is more

It was the last inning in our all-star game, and we were losing 10 to 8. Our team had 2 outs and we couldn’t get the third. Our pitcher was doing bad, throwing all balls, while all of us in the field were tired, ready to fall asleep at any moment. There goes another walk. They score again.

We can be blind to the more important things in life. I agree with Wallace that we can become slaves to our own minds. Our perception is our reality. However, I believe that we should all gain some clear understanding of what we all really face from day to day and be more sympathetic to one another. I believe it could be a matter of life and death for each and every one of us.

The Tide detergent bottle gradually moved back and forth, as my father’s elbow creaked, refusing to cooperate. “It’s my own way of physical therapy, you see,” my father boasted. “If I keep it up, I think I’ll be able to move my elbow by the end of the month.” “Yeah,” I whispered, keeping my voice low, because I knew my mother was shut-away in the other room. The lights were off, the door was closed, and she barricaded each ear with a pillow to block out any sound that might further trigger her migraine.

Is it possible to go on with life today without looking at a phone, computer or tv? Faces are only lit up by the brightness of a phone and connection. A social life is a necessary part of every teenagers day, no playing outside with a ball and being called in at night to have a family dinner. No, minds are focused on unrealistic expectations of a perfect life and someone who enjoys a walk in the park or going to mass on a Sunday is not an outcast or labeled as a ‘hipster’. Taking a step back from technology, people and the busy lives gives you a sense of peace and serenity only to be achieved by living a common day transcendentalist life.

English poet and painter William Blake once asserted, “If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is.” In this short, yet profound statement, Blake sheds light on the fact that people do not have a completely accurate view of the universe. Through his words, he essentially implies that each and every individual sees the world in a unique way that can vary from the truth and that each person’s perception may be similar to or different from that of others in some aspects. What Blake claims about people’s view of the world is true, but there are many factors that cause perceive the world in certain ways. The most significant elements that help shape people’s view of the world are the five senses they possess

But can our senses trick us and affect what we know of the world? How can we know that the reality we know is simply a figment of our imagination? Perception can be divided into two parts: the sensation, which is what is provided by the world (the stimulus to the senses) and the interpretation, which is when our mind turns the sensation into information for us. Perception lets us interact with the world that surrounds us. With perception, it is much more easy way to know something.

According to this view, he is expressing the idea that language, as powerful as it is, might not always be efficient enough to explain a sensation. In sum, then, the issue whether language constructs our thought or vice versa. My own view is that language does indeed construct thought. Though I concede that language shapes our thought, I still maintain a view that language might not always be powerful enough in certain situations. I have had several encounters where language has the potential to really hurt someone, or even me.
