Unit 5 -Discussion Assignment
Comments(1) 1. First person
I saw a black male at the gate of duck store. He is very tall and maybe 6’3”. This guy wearing dark green hoodie and sport pant with letters”UO”. The most obvious things is that he wore Jordan basketball shoes. That is my favorite one. He was walking alone with his Nike schoolbag. He was also enjoying his big headset on his head. He showed his expression leisurely on his face. This tall man was going to enter duck store from the opposite road.
I guess he is a basketball player in U of O. Firstly, he wore the cloth looked like UO’s basketball team uniform. Secondly, he is so tall that he can play basketball easily. Thirdly, why I thought he is good at basketball because of my feeling. I also play basketball and sometimes I can figure the person who is good at basketball. I thought his family is not rich and most money he earned is from school team.
However, all of my ideas are my guess. He could be a football player or something else. In this value, I can learn that even though family is not rich to support students to go college, they can utilize their specialty such as sports to help themselves.
2. Second person
I observed the old guy for about 2 years. When I came to this campus, I can always see him at the bicycle shop. He always wore his reading glasses and his lovely hat. He was good at fix broken bicycles. I saw many times that he helped other students to fix bicycles. His cloths looked not clean and tidy. For sure, he was not rich man. Just sitting on the ground and research his stuffs.
I guess he must be the person who has a lot of experience in his whole life. When this old guy was young, he was full of energy and good at something. He must be the positive man. Because he said hello to others with smile and looked happy. He must have strong body when he was young because he was not thin even though he is old. I though he joint the army before.
This old guy gave me deeply impression. In this value, I realize that everyone should enjoy life like this old man every moment. Sometimes difficulty can stop us but we cannot be beaten by it. We need to be positive toward everything.
3. Third person
The last person is a female wore glasses. This girl was going to enter knight library. She holding some books in her arms and walking quickly. Her hair looked not tiny and her clothes were really normal looked like boy cloths and cheap.
This person is the typical guy who love study and is good at study or at least study hard. I guess she is too hardworking to enjoy life. Her whole student life is boring with study and books. I really hate this style of life.
However, this is just my first impression from this girl. Perhaps I was right, I want to tell her that she do not need to work so hard to ignore enjoying life. In this value, I can summarize my idea. People need to work hard for his successful life, but at the same time, he should enjoy this present campus life. Do not be rigid.
Based on your observations you wrote about person number two, I think I recognize this man. It put a smile on my face to see the different impressions other people, like yourself think about him. I do agree that he gives off an attitude that everyone should be thankful and happy for what they have. He does not look rich, but he does look happy and he gives off a vibe that I think college students sometimes need. His smile I believe lights up much of 13th avenue and much of the University of Oregon. Although I thought your observations about the female you saw was informative, I did not fully agree with you. I think she is walking into the knight library because she wants to. She wants to learn, she enjoys her major, she wants to get good grades, she wants to be successful. How do you know that she is walking into the library now, and in three hours she is going to reward herself with some activity that she classifies as ‘fun’? Although I did not observe this girl, I think your impressions about her were a little rigid.
