HW 28 - Comments 2

Dean
This was a very different an interesting post than others i have seen. You decided to take the perspective of someone random but well known and gave it your own twist. Although this was different and good, you could have used more insight in your writing. Why is it that he is still performing even at such an old age of 84? Doesn't this relate to a some-what denial of dying displayed in our culture? The alignment to this assignment was slightly off, but other than that i enjoyed your entry.

Good Post

Harry,

I thought that your post was very interesting. I liked how you interviewed a person who had had a stroke because it is one of the biggest illnesses in America (after cancer). Since they are so common we can compare it to other people that we know who have also had strokes. When I read your post I started to think about Captain Phil from the TV show Deadliest Catch. I noticed some similarities and differences between them. One of the biggest differences is that Phil had multiple strokes and he died from them. I agree with you when you said that some of your questions could have been a bit more insightful. You could have explained more about the event of the stroke by saying what caused it and how it has affected his body and his life.

Great Post

Your post was very insightful. After reading this, i had a clear understanding of what disease your 13 year old relative had as well as how he went about it and felt. From the part about his behavior in school as well as outside of school really provided my thoughts a picture that was very well painted. It is clear your 13 year old relative is strong and your connections to Morries philosophy from tuesdays with Morrie are very relatable and relevant. Other than one or two grammar mistakes this was a very good post.

Harry,
You made some very good observations regarding our good friend's recent stroke,and his reaction to his treatment. I wish that you had delved a little deeper into his subsequent recovery and his present state.
