HW Mr. Padilla 5-20-15


Option 1: Re-read the quote below.  Based on today’s lesson, class discussion, reading, and previous knowledge, what do  these words mean to you? Write a paragraph in which you explain this quote in your own words.
…The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn- cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime."
Option 2: Task: Do you believe that people are becoming too over stimulated? Is there still room for books in our society? Will people ever stop reading? Do you think technology and books can coexist (live together)? Write a paragraph expressing your opinion. Include examples from the book.
Option 3: "Everyone must leave something behind when he dies….A child or a book or a painting or a house …Or a garden planted. Something …so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there. It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it.”
Do you agree that people will remember you based on what you have done in the world?
