Blogg from Wend 15th and Fri 17th when i was absent

Topics: What we think Stein meant in her writing & how we learn

In all of the confusion of crazy sentence structure, long sentences, and what seems like an entire book that doesn't make sense, Stein is saying something. I thought that maybe the entire purpose of her crazy book was to show how important sentence structure, grammar and punctuation is. For example punctuation is what helps us read the sentence 'I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse' instead of reading it as 'I helped my uncle jack off a horse'. Now that a disturbing imagine is in your head one can really appreciate grammar. I believe she used a similar method to show that without it reading is extremely difficult. She showed us without a period a sentence drags on forever and sometimes it is too lengthly and for the reader that can be very annoying.
Stein showed what not to do why doing. I believe people learn by doing so I will attempt to tell you how I learn through Stein's style:
Like photography we develop from our negatives. I think that as people we learn from our mistakes. A man once trained his dog to attack others but himself. One night a burglar broke into the mans house and the man attempted to fight the burglar. The dog got confused at bit his owner. After that the man got rid of the dog and never owned another one again. Scars are not only physical but emotional. When people look back on people they lost there is a scar on their emotion. One learns by mistakes, not getting a 100% helps because it shows us what we did wrong and how to fix it. Nothing is perfect but things can be damn close. One learns from example. It's hard for people to just tell others what to do. But an example is a nice. You can learn about me by examples I give you. Teachers use examples to explain their lesson plans. Mothers use examples to explain their child's life plan. Children use examples to explain why not to stick their hand in the fan.
 We learn by what we do not want. I do not want math. Although, we do not want war, yet it ravages our planet. We do not want death, yet there is not a cure for cancer. Maybe it is the fear that helps us learn. Animals are afraid to die so they play it safe. Humans are afraid to cry so they bottle things up. As people, we all have different learning styles. Look it up in psychology. All things learn so differently. Trees learn to grow the tallest to live. Karma is an interesting thing we learn from how it will bite us in the ass if we do not live by it. But then the others who do not believe are not affected by it. Interesting how everything is connected through how they learn Everything learns and that is what connects us as one world. The sea learns to move to the Moon. The Moon learns to move from the Sun.
