Response to The Phanton Tollbooth

Question- What does this piece of writing say about learning? How do you connect this piece to the expectations of this class? MAKE SURE TO RESPOND TO OTHER CLASSMATES'S POSTS AS WELL. 

In the passage from The Phanton Tollbooth, it takes a deep approach on what truly learning is. Throughout the passage it states that learning is not always about what you learn but its what you do with the knowledge you gain. It also implies that making mistakes and taking risks is one of the first steps to learning and its not about how you messed up its more about how you recover from it or what you learn. In response to the paragraph by Julia i agree with everything she stated and to add onto the point of the Team Effort if one person comes to class unprepared its not that the rest of the class is not unprepared its just that because this person is not at the full potential  due to missing materials it takes away from the discussion in where the class uses each other to succeed. In the rest of this passage it states how that it takes time and effort to reach your goals and your full potential. In the end of the passage it states how the man from the story noticed how that the world was so full of things to touch and see that you cannot just go through life regretting things but making the most of them. How this passage connects to the expectations to class is that you not only need to be willing to learn but take the time and effort help yourself and the others around you. And though it may seem that much of the content we are learning is useless it will eventually have an impact on our life.
