When I was reading the first graph we were assigned about, I felt that there were a lot of things that I could take from him and be able to use in my own writing. After reading this column about “Anatomy of a High School Dropout” my thoughts have not changed.
As I was reading Mr. Murray’s column, I couldn’t help but to see myself in his writing. I feel that Don Murray’s writings touch so many people are because he talks about real issues, and keeps his writings personal. When Murray was talking about how he had a different learning style and that hindered him in his high school, but on the other hand it was what made him such a success. I once heard in a song “I’m trying to right my wrongs, but funny that those same wrongs help me write this song.”
“Anatomy of a High School Dropout”
"I think I have succeeded because of the negative influences in my life," Murray concedes. "They gave me the materials for my writing but more than that, gave me the emotional hunger, the needs, the drive to express myself, to discover myself, to exist, to influence, to shout I AM HERE."
