I will be focusing on
the first profile in the ground breakers. Which focus on Marc Anderson Lawson,
42, talks with his sister, Karen Lawson, 45, about their father, video game
inventor Jerry Lawson.
This story was very
motivational and teaches how to be a good father and teacher in many ways.
Also, the way this profile is organized is like going through a person's life
journey. For example, at starting of the profile it showed that Jerry Lawson
was loved his kids and his kids loved him to because as Marc Anderson Lawson
said “And as soon as we heard that, we would just get up from wherever we were
and run to hug Dad”(p-27). Then they talk about their dad’s background how he
word hard to be where he is now. After talking about their dad’s background
they jumped into talk about how he taught his kids to be successful.
When Marc Anderson and
Karen Lawson were kids Jerry Lawson created a video game for them and let them play
the video game. He waited till his kids were fully connected with the game
because that’s when he decided to take the game away. This was very clever
thing to do because his kids were so connected to the video games they would do
anything to get that freedom back. So, he told them to create this own video
game by programing in this way they are learning and having fun at same time.
Which helped them in their carrier. As I said at the beginning this profile was
like a life journey, so it also talked about Jerry Lawson’s last chapter of his
life which was rough.
I also found this profile motivational and liked how the father inspired his kids to create their own game to have them learn and have fun at the same time.
