Growth Mindset Theory Week 6

Every day we are faced with challenges, big and small.  It is how we face these challenges that ultimately decides who we are.

  1. Hi Rhiannon. I think that this is very true that we face challenges everyday and although that they are small they are challenges none the less.

I also think that when we try and succeed in passing the challenge we begin to think that defeat is not an option.

Literary Analysis Week 5

Joaquin Miller      In his writing, Joaquin speaks about the ocean and atmosphere around him in California including the Sierras and the snow beyond.  He seems to be taken aback by the majesty of the area.  He speaks of the ocean and the mines and the opportunities that lie within for the miners and opportunities for trade across the sea.  The opportunities that await all those that venture there.  The way he describes the ocean it's as if he is using it as a metaphor for the endless opportunities he sees in California during this time period.  Being somewhat of a blank slate, so to speak, the opportunity to build a life would be up to those brave enough to make the journey.  The lives they choose to create out of this environment would be completely up to them and how they wish their lives to be.  This no doubt had some influence in his decision to return to California and make his home in the Oakland Hills after traveling abr...
