Journal 4

I thought the article associated with this journal entry was quite interesting. When I first started reading it, I didn’t think much of it. That is, until I got to the part when Patton mentions that once he started looking for arrows, he started to see them everywhere. I had this same experience. I didn’t think I’d find that many arrows (other than street signs) but I was absolutely wrong. Once the thought that arrows are everywhere was brought to my attention, I couldn’t stop seeing them! As a society, we seem to completely disregard the arrow, but it is such a useful symbol. It directs our attention to where it needs to be. After my realization, I feel like I need to tell other people to keep an eye out for arrows so they can have this surprising experience that I had. =]
