    During the discussion, I didn’t talk as much as I should have because for the questions that I didn’t raise my hand for I didn’t have an opinion for the discussion at hand, or at least I didn’t have a solid response that could be backed up with the text or generate more discussions among the group. For the two times that I did respond to someone’s response, I felt that I had a view worthy of being shared among my group, and this was supported when some of my peers agreed with the point I made and added their own view on top of mine. But for my second response, it was more like two responses which were included in one as a result of my wanting to respond to something that was mentioned before but that I wasn’t called on for, and for the most recent response at the time.

    357 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the novel A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, it was evident that Mallow's Hierarchy of Needs influenced the decisions Ishmael made to survive. For our book club I created a version of Mallow's Hierarchy using quotes from the novel. This helped me understand that one cannot attain self-actualization until the needs below it are met. Once Ishmael's physiological needs were not met he “started to feel weak”(Beah 45). To fulfill his needs, Ishmael and his friends, “stole people's food while they slept.
