Blogging Around II - Merrick and Bill

In response to Bill's Post About King Lear and the Erosion of Mountains:

"Bill, I really like these analogies you've made between the characters of Lear and the natural forces that wear away at mountains. I know what you mean when you talk about using comparisons to better understand literature; I think that even if they don't realize it, everyone employs this method when they read."

In response to Merrick's Post About A One-Handed Basketball Player Winning A DI Scholarship:

"Merrick, this is a great post and I particularly liked the theme of work ethic and its significance. I agree that in many things, including but not exclusive to athletics, hard work is something that is universally necessary and will pave the way to achieving your goals. Something my coach has told us countless times is that "there's no shame in giving it all you've got and falling short." Some people are born with talent, some people aren't. You can't control that, but what you can control is what work you put in."
