Van Winkle Project Response

The Van Winkle Project by the blogger is a good way to exclude oneself from the distractions there are in todays’ society. The main goal of this project is to be Van Winkled, which means the author of the blog will be totally blocked away from the current, new weather, sports and entertainment. By doing so, the author is said to be “asleep” from September 11, 2010 to September 11, 2011. However, the author is conscience of his or hers personal life. When the author awake, the author will find out all the changes that have happened during this year. During his “sleeping” year, the author can live the life that people once had. The author can just enjoy his personal life without the distraction from the news, entertainments, and anxiety. It is a smart way to just be, and live in the moment of things. When people are distracted by their phones and computers, they are missing out on the basic moments that are happening around them. Through the Van Winkle Project, people can learn to appreciate the little events around them and determine what is truly important to themselves. http://goo.gl/AuE5sG
