Dear Jerald,
I liked how you got straight to the point of whether you agreed or disagreed with David Banach's view. Also how you explained his view and what it meant to you.I think that you could have put in some quotes by banach and elaborated more on how his ideas make you feel. I think that when you say "looks can be very decieving and that just looking at someone else cannot reveal exactly how that individual may necessarily feel." you could have explained more what you meant through a personal experience or used something that happened in the world.You post left me hanging like you had so much more to say yet it wasn't written down.

Dear John,
I like how you used a personal experience to express your view on Banach's ideas. I think allowing us to see this personal experience gave me an insight to why you believe that we are not absolute individuals. That at some point we connect with another person to a certain degree.I like how you related two people knowing each other for their whole lives connecting and two people on the train, sitting next to each other. How can you understand each other or connect with one another?When you said "our eyes may not see things in the same way" I thought about colors and how we each look at colors and have different preferrence. How we each see people differently from the outside even before we meet them and get to know who they are on the inside.John I think that you could have quoted Banach in your response to show more of an understanding of his views. Also so you could show whether you agree or disagree.Your post made me think of personal experiences and how and when I felt connected with the people in them. It made me think of how when I am on the train I look at the people around me and try and figure out their story. Sometimes I can look at them and shed that top layer of skin that protects them and discover who they really are.Most of all your post was very engaging and made me want to read the next line.
