The author Ralph Waldo Emerson knew perfectly what point he wanted to prove. He wrote Education with no bias at all, forcing people to think what the true meaning of education is. The main idea Emerson is attempting to prove is that students should find their own path to life, not what the teacher or parents would like the student to pursue. The teacher is a mentor or guide to what the student would like to achieve. Emerson also believes that everyone is a genius, it is a matter of how that person becomes the genius they have in themselves. A perfect example Emerson was an anecdote about a gentleman named Sir Charles Fellows. According to Emerson this overachieving man became the genius that he is by traveling the world to find the genius master to suit his preferences. Fellows did not go to school to find an education, but gained the knowledge of education by traveling to countries such as England and Greece, where he learned their beautiful languages. Emerson believes that for a pupil to become a genius they need the genius teacher, which requires the one eager to learn to find the guider themselves. The true meaning of education is outstandingly portrayed my Emerson
I like how the main idea of Education was included in this blog. I also liked how you included an example about Ralph Waldo Emerson. The blog was overall wonderful Shahe, but I believe in the last sentence “my” should be “by” but other than that the wording was put together terrifically.
ReplyDeleteI like how the SOAPST is listed in the beginning before it goes into detail about each category. It makes it easier to understand and more organized. I think this blog is written well and in an organized manner. There is a typo in the last sentence, but beyond that it is good.
ReplyDeleteJust as Maria stated, I like how Shahe has listed the SOAPST in the beginning of the post. This way of organizing one’s blog post makes it explicit, allowing the reader to easily understand what they are trying to express. I also like the fact that Shahe has not only stated the SOAPST, but also summarized the piece of literature. A job well done !

As both Maria and Karnie commented, I also am pleased with how the SOAPST is organized in the beginning. Marvelous job Shahe!

ReplyDeleteShahe was able to organize and elaborate the soapst of this piece, extremely well. By listing the soapst first, Shahe was able to establish a easy to understand post. Not only did this post explain the soapst, but also spoke about what a true education in Ralpho Emerson's opinion is. Good post Shahe.
ReplyDeleteAlthough everyone has stated how well-organized Shahe’s blog is, I must reiterate it due to its clarity and astonishing perfection.
