ReplyDelete2. One problem Milo had was to decide which road to take. Another problem was: "If a small car carrying three people at thirty miles an hour for ten minutes along a road five miles long at 11:35 in the morning starts at the same time as three people who have been traveling in a little automobile at twenty miles an hour for fifteen minutes on another road exactly twice as long as one half the distance of the other, while a dog, a bug, and a boy travel at an equal distance in the same time or the same distance in an equal time along a road in mid-October then which one arrives first and which is the best way to go?"

I am going to answer question number 1. Yes, problems are necessary. They help us to test our knowledge and practice what we have learned. We can also get more information from solving our problems. Sometimes we solve a problem successfully and other times we might makes mistakes. Either result is okay because sometimes we learn more when we fail. E. g. When you get a social studies quiz back and you get an A that is great that you have mastered the states, but if you get a C you learn that you need to spell Seattle right or find out the capital of Ohio. So, problems are very important .
ReplyDeleteOne problem I have encountered numorous times is in basketball. I usually play big-man and guard the bigger guys on the other team. The problem with this is that sometimes I realize that they are twice my size. I deal with this problem by when he dribbles down towards me, I can easily draw a charge. Althogh when that is not an option, I just use my forearm and put it against his back and then he has a very difficult time scoring.
ReplyDeleteDear Ozzy a.k.a The Blogmaster,
ReplyDeleteExcellent recap of the novel. Have you ever had any of the same problems that Milo has had?

Dear Brandt,
ReplyDeleteI like how you use E.g. for your examples. :) I agree that we learn when we fail, although it is not fun to fail. What do you think is one of the most important problems in the world right now?

Dear Ben,
ReplyDeleteWhen you are playing the post, work on your hook-shot so you can loop it over their heads. Also, don't forget to box-out when rebounding.

The economy is basiclly falling apart and people have some promblems such as losing jobs.
ReplyDeleteOf course they are nessecary. Why wouldn't they be? Isn't life a problem that is waiting to be finished. Humans crave answers as much as they crave the problem that made them think. Everyday is a promblem. It may not be a bad problem but is a problem. You add more and more things onto your *acheda and then you find a solution at the end of the day and the sum is either it was a good day or a bad day. SO, yes I think problems are good.
ReplyDeleteOne promble that I have had is a baseball hitting promble. I was in a big hitting slump and couldn't get a hit. I handle this promble by working really had on my swing and before you know it know I'm a hitting machine. This goes to show you never give up on sloving a promble and always work had.
