Throughout these
chapters, Salmon had talked a lot about traditions and how certain thing are
handed down from generation to generation. In the beginning of chapter 9, Salmon
had said “After 48 years of pit roasting with my family, countless campfires,
time spent in the military, and just being a kid, I knew a little something
about starting cooking fires.” (page 138) As I was reading this chapter it
reminded me how I had learned certain things from the different people in my
family without “teaching or showing” me how to do something, I simply learned
just by watching what they did when making something or fixing something.
This had reminded
of when I was little, when I would watch my mom fold the laundry. She had never
taught me how to fold the laundry, I learned by watching her to it herself.
Every piece of clothing was folded differently and the clothes were folded
differently from the towels. I learned how to fold the articles of laundry by
watching how my mom had folded the laundry.
I love the connection you made about learning from just watching your mom. We don't think about it much everyone learns like this, especially when we are young.I think so many people learn best by watching or being shown how to do something. We don't think about it but it's how we learn common life skills, by watching.
