Chapter 5 Reflection:
1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?
-The biggest surprise for me in this reading was that of that they decided to spend a whole section of the chapter discussing the distinction between left and right brain functions when in reality, one does not have control over which side they are using so this information seems slightly irrelevant and out of place. I would more so expect to see this in a psychology textbook.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
-One part that was confusing to me was the relational aspect of chapter 5. It discusses relationships like they are a black and white thing and how to respond to different types of people, but in my experience, it is not this easy and differs from a case-to-case basis depending on who you're talking too and the context of the conversation.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
-I would ask the 2 questions of "Why do you want readers to know the different sides of the brain as this seems irrelevant?" and "Do you think knowing the two sides of the brain and their functions really helps spur creativity?" I ask these because I feel strongly that they are not relevant to one's creative process unless one distinctly made it a part to think in two separate ways.
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
-I think the author was wrong on the topic of "starting small". If one was limited to starting small in all things, it could hinder the process and limit them in terms of scope. Often, i find myself starting with a bigger goal and it helps motivate me to be better and stay on track in general.
Well that's all the time i have for today,
Mitch
