Wallace, David Foster's This Is Water
Wallace, David Foster, "This is Water" Kenyon College Commencement Speech, 2005
Wallace while covering the topic of having the innate ability to choose how you see day to day life engages and enthralls the reader through the slight use of humor and contemporary sense full writing. While simplifying by generally extracting a piece of an event from the normal day of a worker, Wallace depicts the process of "Default" settings in one's own way of thinking. Wallace clearly defies normal structures of providing advice by genuinely speaking in a tone in which the reader feels connected. Pathos provided necessary flow between his words and the act of choosing to opt out of the "Default settings" Wallace pertains to motivate the audience to actively

    1. In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others. He told us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were left to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman.…

    In the novel "The Color of Water" by James McBride, the two characters Ruth and James grieve over the death of James's stepfather's death, Jordan Hunter, in completely different ways. Ruth's way of grieving for her husband was very different than how her son chose to grieve his departure. James said after the death of his stepfather's death he just started to misbehave and resulted in him skipping school a lot and going to the movies with his friends. "I virtually dropped out of high school... failing every class. I spent the year going to the movies ... with my friends" (pg 6). His siblings joked about the way he dealt with he grieved saying things like "James is going through his revolution"(pg 6). Skipping school was not the only thing…

    Wallace applies many rhetorical devices of persuasion to make his points sound convincing and his past experiences allows him to appeal to ethos, which highlights the speaker’s credibility. In the beginning of paragraph 2, Wallace tells his audience that “if you're worried that I plan to present myself here as the wise, older fish explaining what water is to you younger fish, please don't be. I am not the wise old fish.” By admitting that he is “not the wise old fish”, Wallace establishes his credibility in two distinct ways. First, he demonstrates that he knows what he is talking about and secondly, Wallace moderates his audience by not pretending to be someone that he is not. Another way how Wallace uses ethos effectively is stating that…

    What I Saw in the Water is different from most of Kahlo’s painting because this painting does have a dominant focus. This painting is one of the most creative and unsettling. Frida Kahlo friend Julien Levy explained this painting, as “It is an image of passing time about time and childhood games in the bathtub and the sadness of what had happened to her in the course of her life”. She painted her entire life into the bathtub. In this painting you see can some of the same symbols that Kahlo uses in all of her paintings. The bathtub is the first symbol, which is present in the painting. For Kahlo the bathtub setting is equivalent to the womb, which for the artist is both a source of happiness and suffering. Frida deeply moaned her inability to…

    Wallace, David Foster. "This is Water." Kenyon college commencement speech. May 21, 2005. Wallace's speech gives a look at reality. The way an American adult's life is. The way how everything is routine, how if not "well adjusted," you will be self centered and in default setting. He describes the daily routine of an American adult, and how he goes to a supermarket, packed with more people. He gets frustrated and annoyed by all of these people; how they are just wasting his time. He then starts thinking how all of these people are going through the same thing he is going through; they have rough days just as he does. If someone was to think outside the box and actually focus on the beauty of this world, they will not be bored, annoyed, frustrated,…

    There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.” This is a famous quote said by Marcel Proust. Books over the centuries have had an influential impact on the lives of many. Arguably, there are none more influential than children’s books. Children’s books contain important life lessons and teach many children the basic values they will hold for the remainder of their lives. Examples of the best range from the well-known Dr. Seuss books, to the always-popular Winnie the Pooh books. Although those are historically popular, The Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister, is one that should be kept in mind. With it’s enticing illustrations, simple and descriptive context, and lesson it portrays, the children’s book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister should be considered for a spot on the “Top 100 Children’s Books” list.…

    Wallace later brushes up on the fact that it is the belief; which “everything is about you” triggers the anger and unhappiness most people have, the anger that every other human around you is getting in your way. He refers to this as a person’s “natural default setting” (205). He then gives an example of this by telling everyone the too real story about the shopper who is very tired; but has to fill his food supply, and gets mad about everyone being in his way of getting out of there. The shopper is not only upset about everyone in his way but also, in what seems a few short hours, he will be getting back up at seven to be at work at eight, and start his routine all over…

    An abundance of Wallace 's speech is him presenting different stories and analogies about knowledge being not "the capacity to think, but rather about the choice of what to think about." (Wallace 1) Wallace goes on with another moral story about the "banal platitudes" of the adult life explaining if you don 't consciously choose what and how you 're going to think about a thing you 're going to be "pissed and miserable" (Wallace 1) On further expanding that thought, David states "there are totally different ways to think[…]" (Wallace 1) Wallace 's speech centers around "[…]the freedom of real education is[…] you get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn 't."

    “Default Setting” in this is seen as a positive to most, because of this quote. “ And the world will not discourage you from operating on your default-settings, because the world of men and money and power hums along quite nicely on the fuel of fear and contempt and frustration and craving and the worship of self. Our own present culture has harnessed these forces in ways that have yielded extraordinary wealth and comfort and personal freedom.” This quote leads the reader to believe that it is possible to achieve vast wealth through the “Default Setting.” From a faulty perception of Wallace’s use of “Default Setting” the reader believes the setting can help achieve this because you will be acting for yourself, putting “your needs”, “your wants”, and “your goals” ahead of everyone else's, because “you” are at the center of every situation. But really what Wallace wants the reader to see is that actually what is being said is simply just a mockery. Wallace is attacking the “Default Setting” by pointing out that using it in this fashion is greedy and disappointing. From this fragment of the previous quote, “the world will not discourage you” Wallace is trying to hint the reader that nobody will stop “you” from using the “Default setting” only “you” can stop yourself from using it. By leaving the decision up to the reader on whether using the “Default Setting” is the right thing, it allows the reader to deeper analyze the situation and come to the conclusion that using the “Default Setting” to achieve wealth is greedy. It turns the reader to pair “Default Setting” with greed because the reader supposes that if they where to put themselves first in every situation, regardless of the situation then profitability will be close by. At first it seems as Wallace is going to contradict himself but by looking deeper it is visible that “Default Setting” is…

    For a lot of families Sunday is the most important day of the week, mine included. At least it was the most important day of the week when I was younger. When I was in elementary school, my family had a Sunday ritual: my mom would cook breakfast, we would go to 10:30 mass and then go to my great-grandmother’s nursing home with my extended family. As I got older and my great-grandmother passed away, we started to go to church less and less, only going to mass about two times a month. As my brother started growing up, our attendance declined even more as my parents often traveled out of town for his basketball, baseball, and football tournaments, making it hard to be present at Sunday mass. For the past couple of years, we have only been going on holidays. With my grandparents being very religious, they do not approve of how little my immediate family and I go to church.…

One of these breakthroughs is Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), a British naturalist born in Monmouthshire, England who gained a reputation of greatness upon exploration of Malay Archipelago. Unlike other great intellects like Charles Darwin, Wallace had dropped his formal schooling at the age of fourteen to start providing for his family as a carpenter. Later in life Wallace acquires a job at the Collegiate school of Leicester teaching, and it is here that he meets Henry Walter Bates, a naturalist who sparks Wallace's interest in nature.…
