"Learning in the Key of Life" was a work that I compare and feel is very similar to Thoreau's writings on education. At the same time, as I was reading this i sensed a great deal that was very familiar. I felt as if I was talking to someone who was best friends with Martha Nussbaum. Spayde seemed to share ideas of the importance in humanities and what it can do for society. The situation was very ironic because right when i turned the page there it was. Spayde was citing Nussbaum's theories and works. It was awesome!
I found "Entering the Conversation" very easy to become enveloped in. The way the the essay was written in the form of a story that walked us through the schooling of Rose made the writing very relatable. I feel that his story provided a sense of relief when it comes to college nerves. All it takes is applying yourself and working hard in many different areas. There is always a time to change your study habits, and asking for help is the first step. Lastly, "Entering the Conversation" is a very good way to name this essay. The conversation is representing the educated world, and Rose has entered into it at the end of his college education.
Happy Outfly
