CONNECTING TO A GLBAL TRIBE


Read Matt Harding's Connecting to a Global Tribe after watching the video clip below. Read and be inspired by Matt's essay and at the same time note how he starts, the personal experiences he describes, his conclusion that connects to a deeper idea. Identify what he values.Respond in your blog

After I read his essay, I was so surprised that even Matt Harding is not a professional writer, he could write a really good essay. He first had he topic sentence, which hooked me up and made me feel curious what he was going to talk about. Then he started a paragraph about his backpacking trip, and how he started to think that people in the world want to get connected to each other. And I think that is the description of his personal experience. For his conclusion paragraph, I first thought that the paragraph was too short to be a good conclusion paragraph. But it was actually really amazing. I think it was because his previous paragraphs already had enough reasons why he thinks that, and that was why I could have understood the conclusion paragraph better. And also I think it actually looked like he was having another reason for his essay. Even it was another reason for his essay, it was kind of connecting to his other reasons and I think that is how he could write a great conclusion paragraph. From this essay, I could notice that Matt Harding, do value the connection of people in the world. He really hopes that people can connect to each other and that dancing would make people to be connected more closer to each other.
