This class meeting, we had another book discussion on This Chair Rocks. This was another great book. This book was more about the ageism towards seniors. It talked about how we have this misconception that once you start getting old it goes downhill. After reading this book I defiantly do not think that this is true. A point that the author made that I though was the most interesting was when she talked about the U-shape of happiness. This idea talks about how we are the happiest when we are youngest and the oldest. After the presentation again, the other half of the class presented their oral history projects. Many of the projects had such interesting stories about their EP’s especially about when they moved to the U.S and how they ended up raising their families here. My favorite thing about the oral history projects was getting to see all the photos of everybody and how every picture has a deep story that goes with it. This project was definitely so great because it was on a more personal level and each individual had their own story to tell.
