Often as the Hero proceeds along his journey, they encounter different mentor figures along the way, which help them to succeed in whatever it may be that they are doing. Mentors can provide guidance in many different forms; the two most common in these two pieces of literature being the kind advice giver, and the stern one who wishes you to learn lessons for yourself. The kind advice giver in both The Alchemist and The Odyssey seemed to play the lesser role than any other mentors in the stories. King Melchizedek offered advice and guidance to Santiago early on in his journey, encouraging him to set out after his personal legend in the first place. “Learn to recognize omens, and follow them,” the old king had said.” (Pg 41, Coehlo) The
I chose the article BECOMING A CRITIC OF YOUR THINKING by Dr. Linda Elder and Dr. Richard Paul. I felt the message was more straightforward and relatable than some of the other articles I read. This article struck me as a “how-to guide” to improve one’s critical thinking, which is something anyone could benefit from even if one is already a good thinker. I liked how the article first asks the reader how much they really know about their own daily thinking. It’s an interesting question, because as the article also states, most people probably think that “it just happens in their minds automatically,” and that we probably, for the most part, “take our thinking for granted.” I know I am guilty on both counts.

Their ideas shared thoughts of change and evils that needed fixing, but they differed in the end results. Also, generally, Prophets of Promise were more positive and had a more effective solution than the prophets of darkness.
The article "We Should Cherish Our Children's by Kie Ho, a business who was born and raised in Indonesia, explore the idea of freedom to think in the American schools. Ho argues that America’s education is not advanced in academics as other countries, though it is surely much better in other ways than many countries in the world. Ho shows that American education tends to teach young children to develop their own creativity more, rather than trying to fill their brain with knowledge, like a can of sausage. The article consists mainly of the personal experience of Ho and his son in American school. When Ho was young he always had to memorize things, such as all the major cities in the world, lines from Hamlet, and a lot of math formulas.
In some people's eyes, Malcolm may seem the ignorant between the two great leaders. Furthermore, Malcolm wanted segregation, while Martin wanted to work together which was the favorable thing to do in the long run. This is why so many more people know of the teachings of Martin Luther King. Only, I don’t think Malcolm was fighting for what was more likable to the people. He fought for what he believed in, and he fought until the end.
For example, my weakness is English in school, but I am getting stronger at it because I push myself through limitations rather than give up when I have reached my limit. Knowing how far you can push yourself is a key factor to learn during your growth as a person. You never want to give up and just stop striving to be improved more than you were yesterday, or last week, or last year even. The understanding that you don’t have to kill yourself to be better is a good way to measure your strengths durability. Just remembering that people defy logical strength all
