From Cheyenne,

We're reading The Life of Pi in my two senior classes. Their assignment: Find a meaningful quote, and respond to it.

Here is Cheyenne's (whom I think I shared something about three months ago).

Her quote: "The sea lay quietly, bathed in a shy, light footed light, a dancing play of black and silver that extended without limits all about me."

Her response: "When I read this quote, a single word comes to mind: existence. What is existence? Perhaps it is merely our sentience, or perhaps it's something greater. I think being human means existing, knowing of your existence, and acknowledging that there is more out there beyond your existence."


Deep thinker, Cheyenne. I love teaching this book to these kids, too.
