Hi i am shae i think the quote that was written by bernadette is very true because if you really want to experience joy you have to suffer a little you have to feel a little pain or as they say you have to get stinged a few times before you taste the honey. All though for some people they have already experienced there before they felt the suffering but they will one day
i think it means that when u gain something thta is weathly to u.you wont need anything else and as long as u have that one thing that is all that matters.this peom cant be delt with life u have everything u need even thhing u dont need so why dont u just give it away

hi im chereen from class 281, and i think this quote means that whatever your goal is, or whatever important thing you wish for, you will have to forget the unecessary things that will keep you back from obtaining it. And i agree with shae, because you will always have to go through some type of trouble to obtain a goal.
hi my name is abby from 274. i think that the quote means that if u learn more stuff then dats really approving in what u knoe. if u maybe dont know anything else, its ok because u can still learn about that thing that u have lost.

i do not nesserari agree with najee because in life u can strive for one thing and get more and that more can make u give it all up.
Hi it's Jayvone. Well I agree what Bernadette said because. He's saying that if you achieve something or also do somthing also if you have to lose something. That's what i think.
im david balan and i think that the quote is saying that in order to have the things you want thst you have to sometimes give them up
Hello viewers, this is Ashley Anderson from class 273 and I absoulty agree with Ms.Shae. Sometimes you have to suffer pain to accomplish your excitment or joy in life. I aslo agree with Ms. Benadette Devil because she write's the truth about suffering pain and lossing everything that you else to gain. I love your blogs and keep them coming!!!!=)
I think the quote "To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to loose everything else" means when you gain something you have to be ready to loose more than you originally asked for.
hi my name is courtnie and i really agree with this quote because if you really want something you have to go after it but there may be sufferings that have to go through.

hey Mrs. Hall i thought you said your blog is suppose to be about a discussion with everyone else???????
I believe the quote ""To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to loose everything else" ---Bernadette Devlin The Price of My Soul, 1969" in order to get what is necessary it is better too lose what is not necessary for example is I had a beef jerky I rather give it in for something education, or something life treating, or maybe a bus fair which I need to get home
Make reverberations. How does this quote make a connection to the author study book that you are reading in class? Make a text to text connection. (Please write full and complete sentences with detailed information.
In response to carl's question, yes I did say that students should have discussions on the blog. I am still waiting for this to happen. I love how a few people are doing it. But I want to see more people discussing.
-Mrs. T. Hall
well i have to say that chreen said what i wanted to say. if u have a goal set for yourself u have to be more concerned about that goal and not of the little things that r not that much important
hi i m nicole. i agree with that. it's true. for example somebody is goin' to get marry and have children, but she/he still wants to do what she/he likes everyday, n it's impossible. cuz when u get marry u have to sacrifice for ur family. as the chinese people said, the world would never be perfect.
i agree with chereen. if u got a goal, suppose that goal is u want to got a 90 or over in english, u have to sacrifice ur time to play to study. u can't got a gd grade without study. n somethin' that dosen't matter to ur goal, forget about it.
Shae- I have to say i disagree with chereen because you can get a good grade with out studying i am not saying it is good not to study or eve that you shouldn't i am simply saying i have seen in my times people who get 95 and above even though they haven't studied i ahve even done it before but i am sayin that the key to getting a good grade is to listen and pay attention because some people have such a good brain they would learn somethin in June and remember it from the next paying attention will get you further to your goal than to study because some people thay study but they do not understand wat they are studying.
hi this Patrick and I think that this quote means that you have to suffer before you experiance happiness
What shes obviously saying this that if you think you really want something that bad are you willing to loose everything else you have. And she calls it the price of my soul because can you really put a price you have already. For ex: you love your friends but you want to hang out with others cause you think it's a better road. I get that from my mother. Bernadette probably learned that the hard way or from her mother too.
(BTW this Cassandra) at school I'm reading a book called local news stories. and this quote relates to my author because Gary Soto was a poor boy living in Fresno California. he was always chasing girls and he didn't do well in school. if he just paid attention in school more often and was willing to loose all that he had he would probably have a better life instead of wishing he had a better life.
Alfred,281
I think this Qoutes messages is that to get what is recuired of everyone you will have to sacrifice and loose the ones you love
Alfred,281
I can connet this qoute to the book i am reading called a place called haert break becausein order for major fred cherry to help in the war and be sucses full he will have to do alot even loose his life in the line of fire
I think ""To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to loose everything else"means if you have something that you will loose it so you have to be ready to loose it.
This qoute reminds me of a qoute saying 'a man without history is like a tree without roots'.
As I read:this quote
It reminded me of:when I was reading looking for work
Because:the oldest was looking for work and just like the qoute he had to loose every thing else to gain the job that he wanted
281 all day!!!!(khalil) i think the quote means you have to give up the little things if you want to get the eccential things in life.
it reminds me of the book im reading in class(malcolm X: by any means necessary) the title itself is a connection to the quote. maloclm did anything to see the strive for african americans.
I connect the quote to another quote that my coach always says "Football is 20% physical and 80% mental". I saw that these two quotes had something in common and that is I use both of them to motivate me. I used the one by Bernadette Devlin as a motivation to pass my test I must sacrifice television and my psp to study and pass the test. And of course I use my coach's quote in practice and the game.
Reverberations
As i read this quote,i was reminded of when my aunt said everything you earn,its for a reason and somethings are worth losing for others.
Carl W Powell Jr
this connect to my book because,in the book Jamal ..... I don't think it connects to my book because he never lost something in order to gain another thing very important to him or to his life
i also i agree with that. it's true. for example somebody is goin' to get marry and have children, but she/he still wants to do what she/he likes everyday, n it's impossible. cuz when u get marry u have to sacrifice for ur family. as the hatain people said, the world would never be perfect. which my mom and dad also say thats what they belive in from octavina bastien 274
don't think it connects to my book because he never lost something in order to gain another thing very important to my or to his life
I CAN MAKE A TEXT TO TEXT TO TEXT TO THE BOOK IM READING BECAUSE IN THE BOOK THE BOYS MOTHER HAD TO PAY THE MONEY THAT SHE WAS SAVING UP FOR A WHILE BECAUSE HER SON HAD A CHANCE TO GO TO JAPAN.
hey mrs.hall its ragayla 281, and i could connect this quote to my book by the way gloria is looking to get her parents back together and not paying that much attention to her friends the same way the quote is saying that if she strives that it maybe a possibilty that it may not work
my opinion for u quote would be that i think thats true n ever way .....i think n feel this way cause alot of people that i know can relate to this quote...also b/c in order to grow n acheive in life u hav to sacrafise to gain ...for ex.LOVE u hav to let go of NONE true love to GAIN the real thing{LOVE}.....THATS MY OPINION
i agree with shae and i think she just proved my point ov my commment that i mae on this quote ...also i liked how u expressed it shae n used ex too
I Think It Means In Every Success There Is Always A Struggle So Its A 50 % - 50 % Chance What Can Be Made After Hard Work.
Ex: I Can Compare This To How Last Year When I Was In 271 With Mr. Monaco And Did Gary Soto Author Study's And Read Books Of Him And One Of Them Were "Novio Boy"
Where He Has A Chance Of Getting A Date With A Girl Who Is Older Than Him. Even Though He Works Very Hard, He Could Of Been Rejected But it Worked Out *

**Patrick Tousaaint I Disagree With Your View Because It Doesnt Always Mean To Suffer But To Lose Something. Its Just A Loss**
** I Like The Remeberece Of What swtd2007 Aunt Said To Him And Can Be A Wise Thought To Use In The Future**
Hi I'm Shamarie. I think it means that in life, you have to make sacrifices for the really-important things,and sometimes those important things are worth loosing everything else.

As I read:The price of my soul,1969
I was reminded:of Clyde
Because: his dad died and he was getting bad grades and he had to make sacrifices of not spending all his time on the streets and help out his mom at home and cut out some of the idling he was doing and study.
This is Ashley from 281 and i like the quote. I think it means that when u gain or receive something you will forget the other necessities that u have and stay focus on wat u really have and appreciate it. Or wat u have is worth more than everything else. I can completely agree with Shae because I luv the way she stated it in a phrase and Chereen 2, miss smarty. Ashes flyin out and leavin her luv out there!:)
hi my name is Enjah Newman. as you may know i am not doing as good in your class i will try to do better i know i am getting better grade love Enjah Newman
I think this quote means in order to achieve a goal you have to realize it may be necessary to make a sacrifice.Reminds me of how Walter didn't fight in school because the death of his paternal Uncle Lee depressed his father.It reminds of myself in your class also,It makes me think that if you want to see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
