“No Red Pill No Blue Pill”- Responds

The basic idea of this digital narrative was that motivation is a key factor of success, and that your teachers aren’t responsible for it. I completely agree with this. If you don’t motivate yourself, how are you supposed to get anything done? The answer to that is you don’t. You have to find what motivates you and remember it every time you feel like giving up. In her post, she explained how some students blame their teacher for not encouraging them enough. Doing this is like blaming your coach for not being a good player; even though he/she did everything in his/her power to train you. It is up to the player to practice to become better. In this case, it’s up the student responsibility to practice too become better.

This post can address a lot of different people, for many different reasons. However, I think that this is more relatable for student because of our work habits. Say you’re a high school student, and you’re taking a class that doesn’t interest you at all, therefore you don’t try to do well. After reading the post, you’ll realize that if you’re not going to try, what’s the point of going to school? This point is mentioned numerous of times and is very true.

She had a very unique style of writing, which I enjoyed, along with the images and links. She used lots of examples which helps you relate to the topic better. She also had a very good attention grabber that made me want to read more. In my opinion, her style of writing is very confusing. However, this made me reread the digital narrative several of times as well as think about it for hours. Some people thought that the images were very distracting, but I personally enjoyed them. I found that since the post was very long, the images helped me take a break and understand the concept without using words. The links were very useful too, if I didn’t know or wanted a better understanding of a word or phrase.
