The Phantoms Tollbooths says a lot of very important messages and lessons about learning.  The goal of this passage is to tell people that you can’t be afraid to fail. Without failing you will not be able to learn. When learning there is no such thing as failing all you are doing is finding another way of doing it wrong.  I think the idea Trey had about if one person fails the whole group fails is a excellent example of how one person can affect a whole group allowing it to not reach its full potential. A group is like a chain each link by itself is not very useful but when put together they create an amazing thing that relies on every single link, in this case a person to work.  The Phantoms Tollbooth has many ideas and themes that portray what learning really is. This connects to the expectation of class because we all need to be a “10” in order to work together and learn from each other. We can’t be afraid to fail only to become stronger as a learner and a person.
