__//**Category:**//__ Education

__//**Precis:**//__ In this well thought out essay, Ralph Waldo Emerson firmly states that the secret of education lies in respecting the pupil, by conveying his point of view through multiple accounts of scenarios where respect has successfully taught a student into an successful scholar.

__//**Personal Commentary:**//__ I thought that this essay was very clear in the beginning but came to realize the depth and insight as I kept on reading the essay. At first Emerson is just talking how to respect the pupil, however as we go more in-depth into the story Emerson somehow includes aspects such as patience, wisdom, and sympathy in order to reinforce his thesis. This essay kept on surprising me as I kept on reading, due to the fact that the essay kept on becoming more complicated sentence after sentence.

__//**Category:**//__ Work

__//**Precis:**//__ In this Controversial essay, Richard Selzer states that the job of being a surgeon is the same as a religious calling, by allowing the readers into the mind of a surgeon who has inner turmoil for invading the privacy of another man's body.

__//**Personal Commentary:**//__ I thought this essay was very well thought out because the author was able to show both sides of the problem rather than one, because in real life scenarios we are very indecisive therefore this essay accurately depicts the indecisiveness of humans and how their desires sometimes overtakes their logical thinking.

__//**Category:**//__ Community

__//**Precis:**//__ In this very well thought out essay, Jane Howard asserts that no matter who or what you are you will always need some form of family, clan, or tribe, by giving us examples such as the Bangwa of the Cameron's African tribe.

__//**Personal commentary:**//__ I thought this essay was very interesting because you would think that you wouldn't need a clan or family in order to survive. Although you may need some sort of ally or a companion wouldn't think that you would need some sort of network of a group of people.

__//**Precis:**//__ Gretel Ehrlich, who is a very pronounced documentary filmmaker states that the role of a cowboy is to just take everything that is thrown at them. She proves her point through examples of symbolism.

__//**Personal Commentary:**//__ I thought that this essay was actually quite interesting, because I too have always thought that cowboys were always supposed to be silent, strong, and resiient. However after reading this essay I have come to understand that cowboys are just like us except that they never give up on anything.

__//**Precis:**//__ In this essay, the author conveys the true reality of playing a sport. He states that playing a sport is actually quite dangerous and proves his statement by giving us statistics on the amount of people injured in football alone.

__//**Personal Commentary:**//__ I thought that this essay was actually kind of scary due to the fact that the character lost his ability to use his hand. In fact this essay has even convinced me further that not joining football was a good choice on my part.

__//**Category:**//__ Popular Culture

__//**Precis:**//__ In this interesting essay, the author Denby questions the authenticity of whether or not movies these days accurately reflect society by providing clear cut examples such as the character of a dumb haughty blonde girl or a big buff football jock who always pushes people onto lockers.

__//**Personal Commentary:**//__ I thought that the author Denby had a very good point in this essay, because I feel that movies do not at all accurately depict the situations in a real highschool. However I do live in the "Coppell Bubble" so i could simply be ignorant of what other high school are like.

 * //__Precis:__//** Waldo Emerson states in his essay that nature is something that can never be fully comprehended and full of imaginative things, he proves his statement by backing up his argument with loads of examples of the mysteries and wonders of nature.

//__**Personal Commentary:**__// I thought that this essay was really confusing because he didn't really have one main argument, rather he just talked about the wonders and the uniqueness of nature.
