Extra Credit - Peter Gizzi
"Objects in the mirror may seem closer than they appear." This title, from a poem by Peter Gizzi, really caught my attention to reflect on certain areas. He explained that its important to look more in depth at things rather than just seeing what it is. Gizzi noted that everyone should examine things in a detailed way and find their true meanings and what they stand for. When analyzing this title, the person is looking back on what is behind them in their rear view mirror. In a deeper reflection, it can be seen as someone looking back on their life and their history and what is left behind them in the past. Even though things have already occurred and are left behind, we may not realize how much they still influence us inour future. Our pasts have an impact on how we live our lives in the future through the decisions we make. This quote or phrase is very beneficial because it makes a point that examining your past is very necessary as a person. Sometimes we tend to ignore things from our past, maybe because we do not want to remember them for negative reasons, but it is still important to relfect and learn from those mistakes. Everyone should be open and willing to look past on their past so they can improve their futures.
