What matters most in my life ? I will be referring to those texts to help me analyze this question and maybe answer it. Anthem, Prometheus, Emancipation Proclamation, Critical Thinking video, and the Socratic seminar we’ve done in class. All these sources lead to one thing that really matters most in life.

Prometheus’s punishment was being tied down to a mountain and an eagle would come and eat Prometheus’s liver. The liver would grow back overnight and the next day the eagle would come and eat it once

never been easy for me. It is as if my hand is limited to what I express on paper or the monitor of a computer. Some people are like this in their way of learning; where it may be them requiring different ways of learning (visual aids, word of mouth, etc.), I am not so different.
