In My Ishmael the chaptersSchool Daze and School Daze II, we looking at topics that they talk about, Rachel Sokolow, and how Ishmael watched her grow up and start school and how excited she was but as she grew older here interest decreased.
This is one of the quotes that I favor in these chapters.
“People imagine
That they'd like to see their children enter the workplace with really useful business skills, but if they
Actually did so, they'd immediately begin competing for jobs with their older siblings and their parents,
Which would be catastrophic. And if graduates came out of school with advanced skills, who would bag
the groceries, Julie? Who would do the sweeping up? Who would pump the gas? Who would do the
filing? Who would flip the burgers?"
"I suppose it would turn into an age thing."
"You mean you'd tell Johnny Smith and Jennie Jones that they can't have the jobs they want, not
because others are more qualified but because others are older."
Why do you like this quote and chapter so much?
ReplyDeletehey I really love the quote you chose to do your dialectic journal about, but you should give an explanation why you like this quote. Give your opinion of what grabbed your attention. :)
ReplyDeleteI like how you expressed yourself though your writing but you need to fix on some of your grammar,and it really passed through my head but explain yourself a little more on why
