Dear President Obama
As you have said we can’t change history but we can bend it toward justice, it means that people can’t change history, but people can change the future. I’m the student from RIST, Thailand. I think the thing is that people could do anything to make a better life in the future. It could be anything like teaching Thai children in English, or raising poor people by money and etc. These things would be able to change the world because people would have more education and job to do, so their life would be more comfortable and this world will have less uneducated and poor people.“One can make a difference?” I am totally agreed with this idea. As I’ve read many kinds of stories which were about one make a difference, it taught me a lot. Even only one person wants to do something, if you think by your own and start to do it, anything could happen.
“Bend the history” means that people can’t change the history, but they can do something to make it to be better. For example, I as a Thai person teach Tom, a Taiwanese person in Thai. Tom has a difficulty in learning word order because the position of the word order is not the same. It made him confused a lot, so I could teach him and help him correcting the grammar. It would help him to understand more in Thai language and it would be great for his future. This example would be a nice chance to bend Tom’s history which he never knows another language and one day he can speak and understand. I’m sure that he would be so happy.
Sincerely,
Boon

ReplyDeleteI think your response is sincere. However, it is disorganized, so I would swap the second and third paragraphs. Now that I think of it, your example of learning Japanese would change the world for you. How might your learning Japanese change the world for others? In other words, what uses could you put your knowledge of Japanese so that you can "bend" history towards fairness?
