Table of contents for David at 17: The Journal Assignment
More excerpts from David’s Grade 12 journal writing assignment, circa late 1984:
Change
I changed more last summer than I ever have before. I started having all these new ideas and experiences. I got a lifeguard job down in Scranton, and made a whole new set of friends in the neighborhood of the pool where I worked. I never owned a car before this summer, and now I know what a pain that can be. I dieted on and off all summer, and lost 45 pounds. All the changes I went through this summer I’m glad for. I take a lot more responsibility for myself, but I still enjoy myself more than ever.
Knowledge
What can we know? That is, what can we be sure we know, or sure that we know we knew it, if indeed it is at all knowable. Or have we simply forgotten it and are too ashamed to say anything? By “knowable” I mean that which can be said to be known or to possess a knowness (knownness?) or knowability, or at least can be mentioned to a friend. In all seriousness, knowledge is an asset. If that is the case, someone will have to think of another name for small donkeys.
