HW 28 - Comments 2
For Amanda: Amanda, I think you exhibited a lot of good thoughts in this post. The fact that you and your family even went to visit a friend of your grandmother is shocking to me. I don't think I even know one of my grandparents' friends. I really liked your description of her house because I felt that it added a sense of hesitancy that you had to leave as soon as possible. Like Andy said, what your grandmother told you about being jealous of you and your brother was quite unique. Since my grandmother if she ever felt that way, would never be that honest with me. I also liked how you ended your blog saying that you would probably not treat her differently even if you saw her again because it shows how we as a society often tend to keep our first impression as the last impression. I also felt that you were treating Roberta as an illness rather than a person. I don't mean this in a bad way. Since I think I know you pretty well personally, I'm just saying you're a open person that doesn't really keep their feelings towards someone bottled up, and I like that.

Thank you for commenting Abdullah, yeah i am surprisingly close to my grandmothers friends (as well as my other grandparents friends) my grand folks enjoy bringing me to lunch when they meet up with their friends, i like it to, the experience seems genuine and makes me feel almost hopeful for life. i don't think i would treat Roberta differently for the reason of first impressions, i guess i would look at her actions and almost observe to see if she could prove herself to me which seems horrible. but if maybe she did actions that were closer to my actions or if she didn't need the broom-cane or she took less time maybe i would have more respect or id try harder because id feel like communicating with her was less of a lost cause... it probably seems as if i don't see her as a person. thanks again for your comment :D
