Question 3:
Th first sentence in my opinion would have to read with a haunting tone of voice. The reason for that is because he couldn't find the knowledge that he was seeking. In my understand Adams is showing sympathy but not celebrating the courage, he is celebrating the determination that Henry Adams had. I don't see Henry Adams thinking of himself in such grand terms, I must be reading it wrong.
Like Jen said people learn in different ways, auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Henry Adams needed someone to teach the way he learned information.

You did a very good job of summarizing this essay. I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one who thought it was boring. However, I still don't see how you came to the conclusions - I think it's because I haven't picked up a book in like 4 or 5 years. I'm just not a reader and so this style of writing is hard for me to interpret. Maybe we could get together sometime after class today or something and you could explain it to me a little more. I don't know, I just think this reading was a bit too deep for my understanding at this point. But I'm sure that as time goes on and I spend more time reading essays I'll get the understanding of what the 2nd reading questions were all about. Good response though - I like it!
