Hrmm...

This is the first time I've had to do an entry and had no idea what to write about. I thought that that was worth noting, though, and then I thought about it and decided that it is because these two chapters are primarily exemplary stories. Everything is an example. This makes sense though because he writes on page 134 about how important it is to work bottom-up. He explains, "When you move into a situation and frames don't work, you're in a bottom-up mode. You take in the differences and work to build a frame that shows how they're all related." Since he's explaining to us his experiences and how they've helped to change his frames and top-down theories, it makes sense. That initial knowledge comes from somewhere. I know this is going to be a very general question, but I'm just curious about people's reactions to these chapters. I found them entertaining and informative--once I thought about them more. I was trying to think about times when I had expectations that were totally shattered, and I suppose they almost exclusively come from traveling experiences or times when I've run across someone knew who just had a completely different way of approaching something than I did. What kinds of experiences does everyone else have with this?
