                                  In respond to Chounard, Yvon reading assignments

          I like the way she wrote her story . She creates imagination . When you read , you

would feel like you are a part of the story being told. It is very precise and direct. It is not

easy telling a  story if you have no relation or knowledge to the story you are about to

tell.

          I agree with yvon chounard about how people spent more time at home than loving

and experiencing the nature.  I think  at this age in time people have  forgotten what is

it like to be outdoors because  of our lifestyle demand. For one   a lot of us work so hard

to make ends meet , some work two jobs just to provide food and shelter for their

families. For the most part instead of going out and enjoying the great outdoors they are

so tired that they just want to stay home and rest. It is all work no play  because we have

to catch up with the bills.When I was growing up I used to be outside after school playing

almost evrything with my neighbors kids. Now a days children spent their time inside of

their home because parents are scared that one day they’re children will be abducted or

may have an accident on the street because of gang or careless street driver . It’s been a

change world !which led parents to get comfort of being indoor from the influence  of  a

new technology.

          I went to lake Tahoe once not too long ago. I just love it! The place is very

peaceful. This is the only time i have realize how much I have forgotten the “great

outdoors”. The place was just outstandingly great. Peaceful and serene. As much as I

want to go  more outdoors, the lifestyle is just preventing me from doing so.
