The Pandora Box that Sam mentioned, is a box where he placed/stored his bad experiences, "make-believe spot" or (in my opinion)"hard-to-believe spot"..he had mentioned this after he had found out about his sister, who are close to him, who then was doing smoking/taking "bad stuff". I don't litterally have the box to store my bad memories/experiences/feelings. Although in my heart/head, I would leave some part of it for the bad things, to learn through my mistakes in the past to try to create better things in future life & also to understand why things happened the way it is, to learn from what so called "life"
Agreed with Marchylia; The Pandora Box is where Sam puts his bad thoughts, to not think about/look through for awhile. We found out about this from when he mentioned that his sister smoked crack and pot and it was a way to let out his feelings.
I do not have a box where I put bad stuff, only good stuff and it's in my closet.I try to forget about anything bad that happens to me by the morning after. But I used to have a diary as a kid, I guess that could be considered my little box though, it wasn't physically a box.
Pandora's box that Sam mentions is a box that he described that he keeps in the back of his head. Sam said that every bad site or argument that he comes across he stores those thoughts in the back of his head. Sam says that one day he hopes to meet someone who he can trust and open up to that person about all the bad things that he has come across. do I have a Pandora's box? In a way I guess I do because when I see a bad site or experience something that I don't want to relive I try to block it out and act like it didn't happen.
The "Pandora's Box" described by Sam is a small spot in his mind in which he stored all of his bad memories. He kept all the bad memories in there and every time something else bad happened, he would always store that memory there. I don't have a "Pandora's Box", but I'm very canny at forgetting bad memories. Anything I don't want to remember, just disappears. I'm not EMO though. :)
During the story,the character Sam puts his life problems in the back of his head. This "make believe spot" was called his "Pandora Box". All his bad memories or experiences have been shoved into this box.
I don't necessarily have a "Pandora Box" but i most definitely have a place where i keep my problems pushed aside. I don't believe having something like that is a good idea. You should be able to express your feelings. If not to your parents but to someone you trust. Holding back how you feel into a "make believe spot" isn't healthy. You become overwhelmed.
Sam's Pandora Box was a imaginary box where he stores his bad experiences, memories, and events that he did not want to believe. I believe that one day he will have to open it and reveal his secrets.I don't have a box, instead i have a horrible film that's hidden in the back of my head that sometimes shows it's contents to me. I guess me and Sam are kind of alike that we don't want to believe in certain things that has happened to me as indicated by Marchylia.
The Pandora Box is basically when you put all the bad experience and the emotion you have in the box. That when he found out the his sister smoke and inhale chemical stuff. I don't have Pandora Box but i keep any bad experience and some time i talk about the bad experience i have with other people. -Marchlyia :: i think you should have talk to some people that you trust. They may give you a good advance/ help you through the problem you having! "Life" always have success,mistake,and bad and good experience to it.
@Jonna Volpe, I didn't catch the part about him saying he wanted to find someone to open up to, but I', sure he wanted to. And I think that I'm like you, i try to act like things didn't happen, and in a way, it gets deleted, or maybe it goes so far in my box I forget it completely.
Pandora's Box that Sam mentioned is a box that is in the back of his head. He stores all bad experiences in there, so that he will never interact with those experiences again. He made this box so he will forget the past and get on with the future. I don't have a Pandora's Box because I want to learn from the past to prevent future mistakes.
Sam's Pandora's is where he puts all his bad experiences to the back of his mind.Sam has had a Pandora's box ever since he witness his sister's addiction to drugs.Since then he has put all his bad experiences there forever.The box is not literal but figurative in Sam's head.I do have a Pandora's box,I sometimes encounter tragic things that happen in my life,such as relatives in my family dying,or other such things.I usually just take those things in and never aproach it again.
Sam said that Pandora's Box was a place where you can put bad experiences and events and sealed them away. He even gave an example of his parents getting into a fight. I also have a Pandora's Box of my own and have been using it for years. One example I could think of is when my mom snapped and just took all of our electronics and went to a hotel, feeling unappreciated. It may not feel right to keep this kind of stuff bottled up, but at least it relieves you for awhile.
I agree with Ariana, Long, Jonna, and Marchylia on the way they view the Pandora Box. I also think it is a box where Sam keeps his bad memories and thoughts that he wants to fade from memory. I don't have a box that I keep my bad thoughts. I usually remember anything that has hurt me bad enough,although, I try to forget all of it.
I agree with Jonna. I believe that some people do have that spot where they keep problems that they don't want to relive. Doing that though isn't a great idea considering in the long run it can become over whelming when you are constantly pushing your problems to the back of your head instead of dealing with them and moving on. I've learn though experience. Over and over again.
Sam describes his "Pandora's box" as a place where he kept his bad experiences. Where he sealed them away forever. In my opinion, everyone has a place like this. I think everybody has, not necessarily repressed memories, but memories that they choose not to remember, for lack of a better word. I know I definitely have a Pandora's box. Without it, I'd probably have gone crazy by now. But it seems like no matter how hard you try, you can't keep the bad memories and experiences away forever. It seems like those are the memories that stay with you long after a lot of the better memories have left you.
Me too I agree with long because I also forget bad memories just like I forget to do my homework, but as I said before the film accidentally shows it's contents to me so once I forget it comes back.
The Pandora's Box that Sam describe's is not literal it's figurative. The box is really is really something he uses to store all his bad memories, experineces, and thoughts. The box comes along when he finds out that his sister, who he is very close with is on drugs. I do myself sometimes will open a Pandora's Box to store all my horrible emotions and bed feelings that I go through.
Pandora's box is a place in Sam's head where he placed all of his bad memories and events he witnessed as child. He used it to make him forget about the past periods and events that he wished he did not have to see and move on with his future. The box was not real of course. It was just imagery to give detail and impact of a place where he could let go of the dark and never think about it again. Like many other people on Earth, I do have a Pandora's box. I use to free myself from pain and hardships that I have endured.
I agree Erica, I rather talk to someone and tell them my thoughts before letting it boil up. As Ariana said before she used to have a diary, which is also good. A diary or book you write your thoughts in can have pros and cons to it. For example, someone could read or snoop around in that book, invading you're personal space. Which is why I say people should talk to someone and not have a 'pandora box.'
Yes, I agree with Alex W. because many people have their own "Pandora's Box" which they put actions and feelings in, and don't address them as they should which can lead to future anger problems. But as people grow in life they should start to slowly but surely open their box because unsolved problems can be very unhealthy.
@Long i agree with Long because i also like to delete bad memories. Some bad memories which I delete are family issues, friend issues, neighborhood issues, body issues, and money issues. I tried to delete these as much as possible.
I agree with Alex and Marchylia. Because many people go through their problem's and have their own "Pandora's" Box to run to. But as people they learn to deal with things in there own way. It takes a real person to get up out of despair and regather themselves and never go back to the old them.
I agree w/ Ros.Everyone tries to forge bad bad memories that they just want to not think about. We all want to not think about bad times and just want to move on with our lives!
I agree with Marchylia. No body's life is perfect, and sometimes we do have to go through hard times in life. There will always be positive and negative things that sticks in my head, but there are also things that would stick in my heart too. Sometimes in life, you don't want to remember everything either. It's true that we learn through our mistakes, but we also have to live life with happiness, I have to learn that the hard way, and now, I'm nothing but a happy person. There is no need for any more hatred in this world.
The Pandora's box that Sam is talking about is simply a place in his mind where he can put all the bad things that happened to him. Just like any other human being, we all have done bad things and bad things have happened to us. Instead of dwelling on the negative things that have happened to us, we want to focus on the positive things in our lives. I believe that every human being has a "Pandora's box". I however also believe that one day, everyone will have to open that box and face what is in there just like Sam did in order to move on with our lives adequately.
When Sam was describing his Pandora's Box, he was just using that as a metaphor. Whenever something bad happened in his life, he immediately put what he saw in the back of his mind where he would never think about it so it wouldn't effect him negatively. I also have a Pandora's Box. When bad things happen to me I usually forget about it. However, some things that happen to me aren't so easy to forget about.
Sam says that "Pandora's box" is a blank space in the back of his mind that he stores all of his bad experiences. He says he'll store them there forever, or at least until he meets someone later in life that he will open up to and share these bad experiences with. It saves him form feeling down and upset when his parents are arguing, or when he's being yelled at; it's like his comfort zone. Also yes, i do feel as if i have my own "Pandora's box". In my opinion everyone has some sort of "box" of their own that they store their troubles in to feel relief in unhappy situations. I feel as if sometimes, some situations may be too overwhelming to handle so everyone needs a "box" to put their troubles in until they feel confident and refreshed enough to deal with them.
Sam describe "Pandora Box" as "where I placed my bad experiences, stored them and sealed them forever (or so I thought)." What I think of Pandora Box is not like a literal box but more like a place in your mind where you shove all your horrible incidents that happen in life. So basically me and Sam have the same thought of what "Pandora Box" is. Yes, I have a "Pandora Box", where i shoved all my bad pass experiences.But Even though you shove them away they still haunt you, and you can't really explain to people how you feel, because they might think your crazy and they have no idea what your going through even though they try, it just really hurts to open that box.
Sam's Pandora Box had things of all the bad that he dealt with and he said where he places his bad experiences that he kept in there forever, or so he thought. Whenever his parents argued, whatever he saw or heard he kept into the pandora box. His life was hard and he struggled through many things so I could imagine all the memories that was kept into that box. Sam said that he would one day meet someone who would open the box with him to talk and help him through the problems he had. I do not have a Pandora Box because I wouldn't want to remember all the bad things that happened in my life because the world is already full or hatred and violence & I wouldn't want to keep that and regret it, so stop living the past and move on.
The Pandora box that Sam is describing is a box or trunk, where he place his bad experiences and then he stores them and seals them forever. I do have a Pandora box because when times get hard it is very stressful to deal with it all. When I experiences something bad that I don't want to think about I just push it to the back of my head. If its something that just keeps hunting me I talk to my friends or mom about. With out a place to put all of your bad experiences, you would be gong crazy and stressed out.
The Pandora's Box mentioned on page 24 is the place where Sam keeps all of his bad memories or thoughts that he doesn't want to face. I think that we all have a Pandora's Box because there's always that one thing that we never want to have to deal with.
When Sam refers to a "Pandora's box" he's talking about a place in his mind where he can put all the bad things aside. Sam avoids this part of his mind often because he's afraid to face the truth about things because that's not what he wants to hear. Sometimes hearing the truth can tear down your hopes and outlooks on things.
I would say I do have a "Pandora's box" but mines is different then Sams. Sam doesn't look back on the bad things he just adds more to it and eventually hopes one day he will find someone to tell them to. I'm one of those people who sometimes holds grudges and does look back on the bad things and just lets loose. When i say let loose I don't mean physically let loose. I mean to let all my feelings out to someone who I know I can trust and will tell me the truth one hundred percent. I personally have to let everything out eventually because if not it will all just build up inside of me and throw my concentration off.
I agree and disagree with what you said. I think that people choose to repress the feelings because of the negative affects they have had on the people's lives. It's rather hard to repress feelings subconsciously. Since we don't want to dwell or think about it, it we just send it there. However, I agree with you when you say that everyone has one. It's a good thing that everyone has one. But someday, however, we will need to face everything in there because it will one day fill up. It can not hold everything that will come at us in the course of life.
@ Steph & Emily, I disagree with you and agree with you at the same time. I disagree with your opinion because he already went through so much in his life so why would he just let it keep haunting you, if that was me, I would've just died because I couldn't live through all the violence of fear of my parents leaving me because they argue so much. I do agree with you in a way because yeah, you been through those times and they haunt you now and then but the past is the past and it would make you stress about thinking about it so much. But i see where you both are coming from. I feels ya LOL :)
Dear Stephanieeeee,:) I totally agree with you 100%, most people do have a Pandora Box but once they do feel comfortable enough to talk about it, then its just the past. LOL!!!!! :D <3
Dear Jennyfer, I agree w/ you but not all people can forget there past that easily but they should try to. <3 LMBO LMBO!!!!!
Emily N, I agree with you completely :) I feel as if sometimes in certain situations, if you try to share your feelings with other people than they don't know how to take it and turn on you. Sometimes instead of being there for you like a friend, they'll look at you as "weird" or "crazy". I also agree with you in what you believe "Pandora's box" is. I believe that it is a place to shove all bad experiences you have to deal with and leave them there for when your ready to deal with them. So I've discovered, You, Sam and I all have the same feelings on "Pandora's box". <3
Sam describes his Pandora's box as a make-believe spot in the back of his mind where he keeps and hold all her bad memories or experiences. He keeps them there forever, until one day he meets someone he will open up to or as he says he would meet someone and"...open the box and for the first time deal with all that was in there".
Personally I don't have a a Pandora's box, I share all the bad experiences I've ever had with my best friend. So technically she is my "Pandora box", because she keeps all my memories to herself.
I agree with a lot of things everyone has posted such as, Ariana, Erica, and Maia. Especially Erica's comment about how it is unhealthy to keep things bottled up for a long time and with that comes stress and becoming overwhelmed. Also, Maia's statement about telling someone how you feel I think that's what best. Or, like Ariana said and writing it in a diary to let it all out of your mind and feel relieved.
The “Pandora’s box” that Sam discussed on p.24 wasn’t literally a box it was an imaginary box. Pandora’s box was a special place in his mind where he kept all of his hardships and bad experiences he withheld. It was how Sam dealt with his emotions instead of letting the rough times in his life get the best of him. He just simply stored them away in his mind and tried not to face the things that would bring grief in his world.
No I don’t have a “Pandora’s box”. I think that it would probably be stressful if I just let all the mishaps in my life just happen and not deal with it or try to face the problems I may have. I can’t just let things go to the back of my mind and just forget about it that easily, it takes time.
Rosiland Stepteau pretty much hit the nail right on the head. However, I have a question about when she said that people choose not to remember things. How can you choose to not remember something? Isn't it true that the more you try to forget something, the more you think about it?
I completely agree with your statement. I agree with it because even though there's things that we've done or things that have been done to us, there has to be a point where we let these things go, and move on from the past.
@ Emily, True, true. I understand how some people can't live without letting it be known and keeping it bottled inside. I'm not saying to keep it bottled up inside of you, because of course that's just gonna make it worse. But I see where all of you guys are coming from :)
Sam’s thought of Pandora’s box was a small spot in the back of his mind where he could store all his bad experiences. He would put his parents’ arguments or his sad feelings in that box. When it was opened, he was terrified by everything that came out. It was a horrible experienced that he had. In my opinion, Pandora’s box is an encouragement that helps me deal with my awful experiences that I had in the past. It gives me hope to a better future.
The Pandora box was this spot in the back of Sam’s mind which he made up so he could put aside all of his thoughts and bad experiences away. He put them all aside so that he wouldn’t think that much about it. I think almost everyone has a Pandora box, I know I do. As a human being, it’s hard to open up to people about our deep thoughts and feelings. Sometime, we just want to put them all away and not think about them. I often try to do the same thing as Sam but it usually backfires because I always reminisce about the past. It’s quite difficult sometimes, but somehow I managed to overcome it and move on with my life.
The Pandora box that Sam described in the story is a little imaginary box in his mind, where he stored his negative memories and emotions such as, when his dad left, or when he saw his sister does drugs. I think the reason why Sam called it a Pandora box is because in mythology, the Pandora box contains the horrible things in the world and it was never suppose to be open. Sam stored these bad experiences in this box, because he doesn’t want to think about it, much less deal with it. I think everybody has a little Pandora box, somewhere in his or her mind. Sometimes, this Pandora box can be a good thing, because if we have storage for these emotional issues, it wouldn’t distract us in our everyday life. But if we stuff our emotions inside us, we would be in a siege. We wouldn’t be able to let go.
I agree with you too and I do the same thing as well. I constantly look back at the bad things that happen and get even more mad about it so girlfriend trust me I know what your feeling. lol :)
I agree with you 100%. Nobody wants to admit that they have problems that they dont want to face or that they are to scared to even. But I know what your saying sista ! lol
@Cam Tu I Disagree with your last statement, If we were to store all those bad thoughts in the back of our mind, I think it would distract your everyday life. The Pandora box is the same as storing bad thoughts, so your last two sentences kind of clash.
Dominay True,true. For real, LOl. It is to stressful but some people just don't know how to release that, cause they're are afraid of peoples judgement
Hannah Girl you know, we don't got time for ignorant people. =]
I totally agree with you and and i think your right when you say that people don't like to open up about it because they are worried about what others would think
Joe: I agree with what you said. The more people try to forget about something the more they think about it. If someone really tries to forget about a certain memory they do have to think about it to forget it. The more someone spends time on one thing the less time they have on working towards the future.
I agree with Mingo.It was a horrible experience and it's sad how his parents erupted in front of their own children. :(
I don't have a box full of memories, but I do think about the past sometimes, like Deshindri. It makes me mad thinking about the past because the only things I really remember is the arguments I have with people. :(
Shawniece Thank you Shawniece, Girl to much drama for this world, Friends should stick together and be understanding and get through it together. :D <33333 LOL ROFL!
@Jenny i agree with you because whats in the past we should be able to move on from it, things happen i understand that but i personally think that it is better to let it out then to hold it in because all that builds up and can eventually send you to a breaking point.
@ Mike P I agree with you, usually most people have a spot in their where they like to keep their bad memories, and experiences in life. I don't really have a pandora's box, i usually forget most of my bad memories within two-three years. But this is only me, lots of other people have them.
Pandora's Box was the the place where Sam put his bad memories and expirences in. In my opinion, that box was Sam's get-away; he didnt want to face the hardships he had to deal and cope with. I myself do not have a "pandora box" because i face what i have gone through and try to make it better.
The Pandora Box that Sam mentioned, is a box where he placed/stored his bad experiences, "make-believe spot" or (in my opinion)"hard-to-believe spot"..he had mentioned this after he had found out about his sister, who are close to him, who then was doing smoking/taking "bad stuff".

ReplyDeleteTo my knowledge he never said he wanted to "reveal his secrets." If you did see this please tell me which page because I believe you just added that.
The Pandora's Box that Sam describe's is not literal it's figurative. The box is really is really something he uses to store all his bad memories, experineces, and thoughts.

Long:
ReplyDeleteNah, Long. You're not emo, you're just a teenager. And we all know how they can be. ^__^
Ariana:
It's hard to try and forget bad things. You have to teach me. TEACH ME!!!
Yes, I agree with Alex W. because many people have their own "Pandora's Box" which they put actions and feelings in, and don't address them as they should which can lead to future anger problems.

ReplyDeleteThe Pandora's box that Sam is talking about is simply a place in his mind where he can put all the bad things that happened to him. Just like any other human being, we all have done bad things and bad things have happened to us. Instead of dwelling on the negative things that have happened to us, we want to focus on the positive things in our lives. I believe that every human being has a "Pandora's box". I however also believe that one day, everyone will have to open that box and face what is in there just like Sam did in order to move on with our lives adequately.
ReplyDeleteWhen Sam was describing his Pandora's Box, he was just using that as a metaphor. Whenever something bad happened in his life, he immediately put what he saw in the back of his mind where he would never think about it so it wouldn't effect him negatively. I also have a Pandora's Box. When bad things happen to me I usually forget about it. However, some things that happen to me aren't so easy to forget about.
ReplyDeleteSam says that "Pandora's box" is a blank space in the back of his mind that he stores all of his bad experiences. He says he'll store them there forever, or at least until he meets someone later in life that he will open up to and share these bad experiences with. It saves him form feeling down and upset when his parents are arguing, or when he's being yelled at; it's like his comfort zone. Also yes, i do feel as if i have my own "Pandora's box". In my opinion everyone has some sort of "box" of their own that they store their troubles in to feel relief in unhappy situations. I feel as if sometimes, some situations may be too overwhelming to handle so everyone needs a "box" to put their troubles in until they feel confident and refreshed enough to deal with them.
ReplyDeleteSam describe "Pandora Box" as "where I placed my bad experiences, stored them and sealed them forever (or so I thought)."
ReplyDeleteWhat I think of Pandora Box is not like a literal box but more like a place in your mind where you shove all your horrible incidents that happen in life. So basically me and Sam have the same thought of what "Pandora Box" is.
Yes, I have a "Pandora Box", where i shoved all my bad pass experiences.But Even though you shove them away they still haunt you, and you can't really explain to people how you feel, because they might think your crazy and they have no idea what your going through even though they try, it just really hurts to open that box.
Sam's Pandora Box had things of all the bad that he dealt with and he said where he places his bad experiences that he kept in there forever, or so he thought. Whenever his parents argued, whatever he saw or heard he kept into the pandora box. His life was hard and he struggled through many things so I could imagine all the memories that was kept into that box. Sam said that he would one day meet someone who would open the box with him to talk and help him through the problems he had.
ReplyDeleteI do not have a Pandora Box because I wouldn't want to remember all the bad things that happened in my life because the world is already full or hatred and violence & I wouldn't want to keep that and regret it, so stop living the past and move on.
The Pandora box that Sam is describing is a box or trunk, where he place his bad experiences and then he stores them and seals them forever. I do have a Pandora box because when times get hard it is very stressful to deal with it all. When I experiences something bad that I don't want to think about I just push it to the back of my head. If its something that just keeps hunting me I talk to my friends or mom about. With out a place to put all of your bad experiences, you would be gong crazy and stressed out.
ReplyDeleteThe Pandora's Box mentioned on page 24 is the place where Sam keeps all of his bad memories or thoughts that he doesn't want to face. I think that we all have a Pandora's Box because there's always that one thing that we never want to have to deal with.
ReplyDeleteWhen Sam refers to a "Pandora's box" he's talking about a place in his mind where he can put all the bad things aside. Sam avoids this part of his mind often because he's afraid to face the truth about things because that's not what he wants to hear. Sometimes hearing the truth can tear down your hopes and outlooks on things.
ReplyDeleteI would say I do have a "Pandora's box" but mines is different then Sams. Sam doesn't look back on the bad things he just adds more to it and eventually hopes one day he will find someone to tell them to. I'm one of those people who sometimes holds grudges and does look back on the bad things and just lets loose. When i say let loose I don't mean physically let loose. I mean to let all my feelings out to someone who I know I can trust and will tell me the truth one hundred percent. I personally have to let everything out eventually because if not it will all just build up inside of me and throw my concentration off.
@ Rosalind...
ReplyDeleteI agree and disagree with what you said. I think that people choose to repress the feelings because of the negative affects they have had on the people's lives. It's rather hard to repress feelings subconsciously. Since we don't want to dwell or think about it, it we just send it there. However, I agree with you when you say that everyone has one. It's a good thing that everyone has one. But someday, however, we will need to face everything in there because it will one day fill up. It can not hold everything that will come at us in the course of life.
P.S. Very thoughtful of you though Rosalind :]
@ Steph & Emily,
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you and agree with you at the same time. I disagree with your opinion because he already went through so much in his life so why would he just let it keep haunting you, if that was me, I would've just died because I couldn't live through all the violence of fear of my parents leaving me because they argue so much. I do agree with you in a way because yeah, you been through those times and they haunt you now and then but the past is the past and it would make you stress about thinking about it so much. But i see where you both are coming from. I feels ya LOL :)
Dear Stephanieeeee,:)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you 100%, most people do have a Pandora Box but once they do feel comfortable enough to talk about it, then its just the past.
LOL!!!!! :D <3
Dear Jennyfer,
I agree w/ you but not all people can forget there past that easily but they should try to.
<3 LMBO LMBO!!!!!
Emily N,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely :) I feel as if sometimes in certain situations, if you try to share your feelings with other people than they don't know how to take it and turn on you. Sometimes instead of being there for you like a friend, they'll look at you as "weird" or "crazy". I also agree with you in what you believe "Pandora's box" is. I believe that it is a place to shove all bad experiences you have to deal with and leave them there for when your ready to deal with them. So I've discovered, You, Sam and I all have the same feelings on "Pandora's box". <3
Sam describes his Pandora's box as a make-believe spot in the back of his mind where he keeps and hold all her bad memories or experiences. He keeps them there forever, until one day he meets someone he will open up to or as he says he would meet someone and"...open the box and for the first time deal with all that was in there".
ReplyDeletePersonally I don't have a a Pandora's box, I share all the bad experiences I've ever had with my best friend. So technically she is my "Pandora box", because she keeps all my memories to herself.
I agree with a lot of things everyone has posted such as, Ariana, Erica, and Maia.
Especially Erica's comment about how it is unhealthy to keep things bottled up for a long time and with that comes stress and becoming overwhelmed. Also, Maia's statement about telling someone how you feel I think that's what best. Or, like Ariana said and writing it in a diary to let it all out of your mind and feel relieved.
The “Pandora’s box” that Sam discussed on p.24 wasn’t literally a box it was an imaginary box. Pandora’s box was a special place in his mind where he kept all of his hardships and bad experiences he withheld. It was how Sam dealt with his emotions instead of letting the rough times in his life get the best of him. He just simply stored them away in his mind and tried not to face the things that would bring grief in his world.
ReplyDeleteNo I don’t have a “Pandora’s box”. I think that it would probably be stressful if I just let all the mishaps in my life just happen and not deal with it or try to face the problems I may have. I can’t just let things go to the back of my mind and just forget about it that easily, it takes time.
Rosiland Stepteau pretty much hit the nail right on the head. However, I have a question about when she said that people choose not to remember things. How can you choose to not remember something? Isn't it true that the more you try to forget something, the more you think about it?
ReplyDelete@Eric
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your statement. I agree with it because even though there's things that we've done or things that have been done to us, there has to be a point where we let these things go, and move on from the past.
@ Emily,
ReplyDeleteTrue, true. I understand how some people can't live without letting it be known and keeping it bottled inside. I'm not saying to keep it bottled up inside of you, because of course that's just gonna make it worse. But I see where all of you guys are coming from :)
Jennyfer Tran love all of you guyysssss <3
Sam’s thought of Pandora’s box was a small spot in the back of his mind where he could store all his bad experiences. He would put his parents’ arguments or his sad feelings in that box. When it was opened, he was terrified by everything that came out. It was a horrible experienced that he had. In my opinion, Pandora’s box is an encouragement that helps me deal with my awful experiences that I had in the past. It gives me hope to a better future.
ReplyDeleteThe Pandora box was this spot in the back of Sam’s mind which he made up so he could put aside all of his thoughts and bad experiences away. He put them all aside so that he wouldn’t think that much about it. I think almost everyone has a Pandora box, I know I do. As a human being, it’s hard to open up to people about our deep thoughts and feelings. Sometime, we just want to put them all away and not think about them. I often try to do the same thing as Sam but it usually backfires because I always reminisce about the past. It’s quite difficult sometimes, but somehow I managed to overcome it and move on with my life.
ReplyDeleteThe Pandora box that Sam described in the story is a little imaginary box in his mind, where he stored his negative memories and emotions such as, when his dad left, or when he saw his sister does drugs. I think the reason why Sam called it a Pandora box is because in mythology, the Pandora box contains the horrible things in the world and it was never suppose to be open. Sam stored these bad experiences in this box, because he doesn’t want to think about it, much less deal with it.
ReplyDeleteI think everybody has a little Pandora box, somewhere in his or her mind. Sometimes, this Pandora box can be a good thing, because if we have storage for these emotional issues, it wouldn’t distract us in our everyday life. But if we stuff our emotions inside us, we would be in a siege. We wouldn’t be able to let go.
@ Hannah
ReplyDeleteI agree with you too and I do the same thing as well. I constantly look back at the bad things that happen and get even more mad about it so girlfriend trust me I know what your feeling. lol :)
Jennyfer
ReplyDeleteThank you for being understandable. LOL!!!!! :{D
@Jennyfer
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point lol
So what do you do with your bad experiences, etc? :P
@ Desh, i understand where you're coming from. We need to have a heart to heart conversation some day ily. <3
ReplyDeleteTo Jenny & Emily I agree with you and Emily about trying to forget about the past and like Emily said if they try they should forget.
ReplyDeleteTo Dominay
I agree it would be stressful to have a "Pandora box", but that's just how some people deal with things.
- <3 yall lots, Niecey %) LOL
@ Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100%. Nobody wants to admit that they have problems that they dont want to face or that they are to scared to even. But I know what your saying sista ! lol
@Jen, sure, anytime :) ilyt <3
ReplyDelete@jennyfer:
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, the past is the past if you're keeping it "in a box" it'll just hunt you, your whole life. ahaha.
@Cam Tu
ReplyDeleteI Disagree with your last statement, If we were to store all those bad thoughts in the back of our mind, I think it would distract your everyday life. The Pandora box is the same as storing bad thoughts, so your last two sentences kind of clash.
Dominay
ReplyDeleteTrue,true. For real, LOl. It is to stressful but some people just don't know how to release that, cause they're are afraid of peoples judgement
Hannah
Girl you know, we don't got time for ignorant people.
=]
@Mingo
ReplyDeletecouldn't have said it better myself <3
@ Desh
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you and and i think your right when you say that people don't like to open up about it because they are worried about what others would think
Desh
ReplyDeleteYOU GO GIRL! We need a vacation from all this stressful stuff.
Joe:
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said. The more people try to forget about something the more they think about it. If someone really tries to forget about a certain memory they do have to think about it to forget it. The more someone spends time on one thing the less time they have on working towards the future.
I agree with Mingo.It was a horrible experience and it's sad how his parents erupted in front of their own children. :(
ReplyDeleteI don't have a box full of memories, but I do think about the past sometimes, like Deshindri. It makes me mad thinking about the past because the only things I really remember is the arguments I have with people. :(
Shawniece
ReplyDeleteThank you Shawniece, Girl to much drama for this world, Friends should stick together and be understanding and get through it together. :D
<33333 LOL ROFL!
@Lexi
ReplyDeleteyes, and not only that, but also people don't like to open up about it because they're afraid others wouldn't care about them.
@Jenny i agree with you because whats in the past we should be able to move on from it, things happen i understand that but i personally think that it is better to let it out then to hold it in because all that builds up and can eventually send you to a breaking point.
ReplyDelete@Emily I know l0l :)
@ Mike P
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, usually most people have a spot in their where they like to keep their bad memories, and experiences in life. I don't really have a pandora's box, i usually forget most of my bad memories within two-three years. But this is only me, lots of other people have them.
Savannah:
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100%!
@Emliy
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, let's go!
Me and you both know what drama is like in this crazy world lol
ReplyDelete@ Roz (Rosalind)
ReplyDeleteOh Roz, haha. I just wakeup everyday and I like, it happened yesterday. Forget about it. New day, new stuff can happen.
Pandora's Box was the the place where Sam put his bad memories and expirences in. In my opinion, that box was Sam's get-away; he didnt want to face the hardships he had to deal and cope with. I myself do not have a "pandora box" because i face what i have gone through and try to make it better.
ReplyDeleteiagree with Savannah Desiderio !
@ Athena & Victoria:
ReplyDelete-Thanks! An you both make great points yourself.
