“Dreams are the touchstone of our character”. Henry David Thoreau. The way that I interoperate this quote is that everyone has dreams, and people’s dreams define who they are. The way that I will use this quote to help guide me to accomplishing the things on my bucket list is, I will make sure that my dreams are unique. I will also use this quote to accomplish my things on my bucket list, by making sure that my dreams will always define who I am as a person. The last way that I will use this quote to make sure that I accomplish the things on my bucket list is by, making sure that all my dreams help support my character. Some of the underlying themes that I see in my bucket list are that my dreams will be very easy to accomplish if I put my mind to it. One of the other themes that I noticed in my bucket list is I have many things that I might not accomplish before I die. I also see that many of the items include me helping other people around me. Another theme that I also see throughout my bucket list is that many of the things on my list are things that I might not be able to do without some else helping me. I think that my list will lead me to being a very adventures person. One of the examples that might show that I am an adventures person is one of the things on my list is that I would like to climb to the Everest base camp. My bucket list also shows that I might be a person that really likes to travel around top many places.one of these examples is that I would like to go to the Great Wall of China. I think that it is really good to write a bucket list. The reason that I think that it might be really good to write a bucket list is because then I will be able to have something to look forward to and try to accomplish. Some of the things that I learned about myself are that I am a really adventurous. My list also showed me that I really would like to travel in the future.I think that because I am really adventures that this might really have a large impact on the places that I might live in the future.
