In our discussion group we talked about “The loss of the Creature” by Percy and how people take the “beaten track” and what is both good and bad about doing so. Taking shortcuts can sometimes seem like the easy way out of things but much bad can come from this like when people just copy homework and notes from others and then do bad on tests it is because they tried taking the easy way putting in less work but this leads to poor results in the end. Or on the other hand sometimes professors will just lecture off of the same PowerPoints because that is the easy way out for them but the outcome of that is students doing poor in the class and not gaining anything from the class. By taken the beaten path, less is gained from the experience and less creativity is allowed which is essential to be more open minded and learn more.
