Quote:
“Wisconsin thunderstorms, too, fascinated John. He watched as dark clouds rolled across the sky, dropping hail and rain. Several times, the boys saw trees shattered by lightening. Years later, Muir wrote, ‘Here without knowing it we still were at school; every wild lesson a love lesson, not whipped but charmed into us…how utterly happy it made us.’” (Warrick 25).
Prompt:
What does John mean at the end of this quote when he says, “Here without knowing it we still were at school; every wild lesson a love lesson, not whipped but charmed into us…how utterly happy it made us”? Paraphrase it in your own words. How do you learn the best? Do you learn by listening? by observation? by experience? Describe something new that you have recently learned and explain how you learned it. Like John, it doesn’t need to be something that you learned in a classroom. Remember to write at least 100 words.
