English class, very different than last year, has become a place of opinion, not a place of put a comma here, or semicolon here, and read this and have the same opinion as me because it's right, which is completely false.
No, it has become a place of differences, which, like the real word, is truer. It makes sense to have a need to talk things through and understand all view points. This is my kind of English class.
Today we debated chivalry. Honest to God, I wish there were chivalry. Apparently, I'm the only one who has not experienced chivalry in my class. Apparently it's everywhere. So how am I missing it? If its honestly ubiquitous, how am I missing it? Oh, right. (I =/= pencil!)
Either way, no matter how much I would love care for others, and care of myself from others, chivalry has been lost. It may still be around, but it's lost. It's not around for the right reason: more for personal gain that attracts attention to self, not that anyone cares in the world right? Right.
Chivalry, to me, is buried away for another day. Probably not my day, but I don't care. If you don't treat others how you want to be treated, then you won't get anything that you want. In other words, if you want to treat others as fragile creatures, then be prepared to be treated as such.
Chivalry is not dead, but it has undergone cultural diffusion and vast alteration. I'm glad chivalry is lost. We would get nowhere with it around. Though mutual chivalry would be nice.
