For example, when I see a poor person on the street I see how lucky I am to have a home and have food in front of me every night. Also, when I see someone who is mean and disrespectful to their elder I see that the consequences to their action aren’t so good so that teaches me to respect my elders. When I see other people life’s it shows how to control my actions to learn from other people mistake and study their ways to know how lucky I am and how to make the same mistakes they did. What can you learn about your to their self by studying the lives of others? We can learn about our self by studying the lives of others in many ways. One way is in the book __Maniac Magee, __Jeffery Magee goes threw a situation where he doesn’t know about the racism in life. If I was in that situation It would be hard for me knowing that I can’t communicate or have a friendship with any type of race. That shows me how lucky I am to be in a time period where I can be friends with different races. In the book Maniac Magee, Jeffery (Maniac) is homeless because his parents died in a car accident. And has to live a rough life. I know if that was me I would go crazy. He also had to live without his parents. If I had to live without my parents I couldn’t live at all. Going through life without a home or parents and education must be very hard. It shows me how others life help me make the decision for mine. I remember the time when I saw my friend talk badly to her mother and father and parents. Her consequences weren’t so good. It teaches me to respect others. To treat others the way they want to be treated. She also treats her friends very badly and lost a lot of them. Friendship and family is the best things in life. You have to learn from mistakes. From studying other people’s lives, it showed me about how lucky I am and how not to make a lot of mistakes. By studying the lives of others, it helps me learn about myself!
