Unit 4: A Raisin in the Sun

"The Fallacy Of Success" and "Why The Americans Are So Restless In The Midst Of Their Prosperity"

This reading personally connects to me because my success is defined by many people and things. I have my parents, my own interests, my school, etc. and I am always trying to figure out what I ought to do.

Higher order questions matter so you can make high order thoughts. Often, if you aren't asked, you never think. These questions are to provoke thinking, so you can make your own personal responses.

Level 5:

What books have you read that claim to guarantee success? What did you think about that book? Did it seem useless like Chesterton says, or did you feel something different?

I believe there are books that you should read for success. For a very simple example: an instruction manual. Often, a product will tell you to read the instruction manual for "success". And in many cases, they are right. Many books are non-fiction manuals or explanations about how to do things. These are really books that teach success.

I think this was my strongest response because I was able to consider a personal side to each participant, and allow them to respond to the open-ended prompt with their own experiences, opening the door for more discussion.
