Authors Note: I read a short story in Language arts and this is my repose to it. You should always respect what others say. Take it into consideration.
Have you ever made a bet with your friend and ended up losing in the end? You feel frustrated and embarrassed. This is how Mr.Obi felt in the book Dead mans path. In this book a man blocks off a pathway that is believed to be used for peoples loved ones to ravel through. One day a Priest comes and tried to encourage Mr.Obi not to block the path since its bothering the city. Mr. Obi does not agree with the priest. The priest said, "let the hawk perch and let the eagle perch" and walked out of the school.
First off, the famous quote said by the priest was, "Let the hawk perch and let the eagle perch". This quote means, let others believe what others believe even if you don’t agree. In this case, the Priest was the hawk and won the battle. Soon there after, the school got horrible reviews because people destroyed the gateway that he made to the path.
In conclusion, Mr.Obi shouldn’t have acted so ignorant towards the priest, because it messed up his whole life in the end. Even though talk is cheap, you should always take other peoples words into consideration. It could save you in the end.
