The novel opens with Randy Pausch attempting to explain why he even agreed to give a "last lecture" in the first place. His beloved wife Jai, whom he has always regarded as his biggest "cheerleader," was initially opposed. Why, with so little time left, would he decide to devote so much of it to an academic pursuit rather than to his beloved wife and children?
Pausch explains that it was not despite his children, but rather forthem that he has agreed to give to this lecture. He is dying. His eldest child Dylan is only five years old. He will grow up with very few memories of his father. His two year old son Logan and one year old daughter Chloe will have no memories of him at all. Pausch hopes that this lecture, which will be recorded on video tape for posterity, will one day give his children some idea of who their father was and what he stood for. Long after he's gone, this lecture will remain. “An injured lion,” he says, “still wants to roar.” Having won over his wife, Pausch dedicates himself to crafting his last lecture.
Is this a math question? lol i bet you'd find a better answer if you put it in the math section. Good luck :)
For clarification purposes, what exactly do you need assistance with? Is it getting an opinion? Trouble understanding what the question means? Please explain and I will try to quickly reply :)
Over 1000 people tried out for a spot n the new reality television show; <u>in fact,</u> many of the contestants stood in line for over ten hours. :)
I knew that I did well on the test.
"knew" and "did" are in the same tense, making them simultaneous events.
