Dialectic journal


Quote.

‘How much do you remember from what you learned in school last year?’

Almost nothing, I’d say. “

Response.

I Agree with this quote because now that I think about it I don’t really remember what I learned last year. I remember that we learned about the first ten amendments and all of states and where they are on the map, we had to memorize these, for the states we had to memorize where they are on the maps and all of the states and we had to remember the first ten amendments. If you were to ask me now what the first ten amendments are I couldn’t tell you the only ones that I remember is the first one, the second one and the third one.

First Amendment: the right to freedom of speech, religion, press , assembly and petition.

Second Amendment: the right to bare arms

Third Amendment: the right to say no to a soldier.

If someone were to hand me a blank map and tell me to fill in all of the states I could probably only fill in about half of it. Most of the big states like California, Texas, Florida, south Dakota. Ect.

  1. You had a great relation to the story, and the picture was great. Honestly I cannot remember half the things that I learned last year and I am able to agree with you completely.

    The only thing that I noticed was that you needed to add some more things like what was Daniel Quinn getting at.

  2. I can definitely relate with this, because all I can remember from history last year was manifest destiny, and that was because it was intriguing to me that people would think that just because we live here, we should also be able to live all the way over there, and nobody can stop me.
