talk about an intrinsic motivation to study. Wow, that story was nothing like anything i ever read before. I am still trying to figure out the moral. Is it telling us, that our pride is in the way of many things. It seems to me as if this story had a great supply of morals.
I simply loved the puppy dog comparison. Great way to look at things.
I was surprised there was always someone to rescue, or watch over him. That to me was like a god. And he did not stop the guy from getting burned, he needed that burn to figure out a bunch of other things. But he didn’t get seriously hurt. So the burn served a purpose.
It must be really really strange walking around with the awareness that everyone around you is constantly reading your thoughts. And that even the thought of what to write in teh letter doesn’t matter because the know you wouldn’t put anything harmful in there because you can not because of your pride being in the way or because you finally figured things out and feel like sharing your thoughts wouldn’t be understood by anyone anyway.
Why did the father finally say the name in the real language? What was the message behind that?
My goodness, I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep tonight, way too many thoughts rambling through my mind. It’ll be a great discussion tomorrow!

here’s what i think about other people thinking your thoughts. all thoughts are sort of out there to be thought and we are all just sort of catching them as they go along. so these people sort of see the thoughts floating and see them enter and exit peoples brains. they see the possibilities as they are happening as opposed to when they are brought to fruition. In real life you can almost do it. i mean most conversations are rather linear and logical and can only progress in so many fashions. its like hearing a song that has a very simple rhyme scheme; you can almost sing along with the song the first time you hear it because there are only so many possibilities for what could come next. thats why earthlings had such a hard time understanding the aliens is because they were saying things that didnt make sense. they were saying a possibility of thought that was very low on the radar of humans as having a chance to pop into anyones mind but the humans, being young, say things that the aliens are miles above and used to. humans patter on the cliche that is easy to recognize and guess.
