After reading the "Noble Lecture" by Morrison, and "This is Water" by Wallace i realized they had the same idea behind them but the way the handled them was totally different. In the "Noble Lecture" it shows how people see the things through language, while "This is Water" showed that people see things through the other people that are all around them.

In "Noble Lecture" the people cant see the things that are all around them. So this is the reason why the people cant understand the lady and the way she does things. She knows what the bird means and doesn't need to feel it to know what it is she knows that it is very special piece of nature that needs to be taken care of. She uses her language to push the people around her lower and lower. What she is trying to say is simple our words can hurt people just by saying simple things, so people need to be careful when they are speaking to others Because even saying that is gay could really hurt someone, even though that they didnt know was gay all along but you literally just said who cares about them. So the way she is talking is different than normal and it is just harder to understand she is using her words carefully.

Then in This is Water" Shows that people are more thinking of themselves and see that the other people are only there to get in their way, even though they both can have people only thinking of themselves. People need to not only think of themselves they need to also think of the other people in their world because the other person could be going through something as well so you need to not be the person thinking you are always right because chances are you are wrong. The children were especially only thinking of themselves because they didn't care about the old lady they had their own intentions. So sometimes you need to slow down and see how other people are and try to see things from their point of view and you could learn something from them.
