The article “This is water”
written by David Foster Wallace. This article is different with previous
article, which I was read. This article
starts with a speech, which is US commencement speech. The article uses fish
story to narrate actual human value and material payoff. First, the article explain that student have
to know how to know and what you need to think. Then the author tells an
example, there are two guys which are religious and atheist. They are arguing
about the existence of God. The result is different people have different
thinking. One is believe in god, he said: ”I’m lost in this blizzard”, but
finally he survived. Another guy, he does not believe in god, so he think other
person saved him, but it is not god. I like this sentence: “It’s easy to run this
story through kind of a standard liberal arts analysis: the exact same
experience can mean two totally different things to two different people, give
those people’s two different belief templates and two different ways of
constructing meaning from experience.” I really agree it.
I agree the author’s opinion, because people have different
opinion when we face the same things is due to everyone have there own ideas.
