Seedfolks Reading Response: Offering a Personal Opinion

I am impressed by Wendell and his attitude towards life.  Although he has lost both his wife and child, he remains positive and hopeful.  If this tragedy happened to me, I think I would remain depressed for quite a long time – it would be difficult to get over.  I really admire the fact that Wendell chooses to focus on the present and future, not “moan about” his tragic losses.  I respect his decision to direct his attention on what he can change (growing the Gibb Street Garden) and not repeatedly dwell on what he can’t change (death of wife/son).  I feel he has a good heart and that helping others in the neighborhood, will help him feel better and give him a purpose in life.  He teaches me that everyone must move on with living and not get caught up thinking about or reliving the past – no good will come of this.  We must work towards building a positive future.

Now, select any 1 character of your choice and offer a personal opinion of him/her with supporting reasons.  Lined paper or MS Word, take your pick and submit. When you are offering your personal opinion, your sentences must be written in the 1^st person point of view, using the pronoun “I”.  NO RETELL.
