In a brief paragraph, explain what you think the following quote means.
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
- Maya Angelou
i think what the quote means is that people would remember what you have made them feel.When you make someone happy maybe that person would remember you making them happy.Also what think that this quote means is like they will remember you do doing something to them especially.
ReplyDeleteI think Maya Angelou means that when you say something not nive to people or do something to them they will forget about it but they would never forget how you made them feel embaressed or other feelings. This quote kinda remember me of when somebody made fun of somebody and the person forgot about it they never forgived that person.This also relates to the book They Cage the Animals at night when kids made fun of Jennings so he changed his name to mark so nobody would make fun of his name.They were also makeing fun of what he was wearing and he tried to forget it but he never forgived them.

I think she is trying to say that if you say something the pewson may never forget that thing you said.It is like how elephants dont forget anything.Elephants can remeber something that happened to them as as far back as 10 years.If you make someone feel very happy or very sad , they might not ever forget that feeling.Like if you give someone a really good birhtday party then they'll never forget that feeling of happiness.Or when someone almost dies they will never forget the fear that was stuck into them.Someone that you make a very big impression on will never forget that impact.Like the impact Jhon Lennon made on the world befroe his TRAGIC death.

I think it means that people will forget you by the way you look but they will never forget the way you made them feel like Mark and Jennings sadly. Maya Angelou might also mean that if you said something the person you said it to might forget what you said. I think Maya also means that you should make someone think good of you if you have a friend then you don't want to beat him up because they might only remember you for being a jerk not a friend.

I can totally agree that people forget the things you say and did but they never will forget the way you made them feel. I can forgive and forget about what someone said to me but I can't forget the way I felt when they said it. The things I did to people probably would be forgotten sooner or later but they would always remember how I hurt their feelings or how I made them feel better. I probably won't care about the things someone said to me but how I felt when they said it will always pop up into my head when I see them. It is hard to forgive someone's wrong doing towards you when you can't forget how your feelings were hurt. - Shawn Thomas
ReplyDeleteI think this quote means when you forget to remember something and you cant remember what you said it makes you forget.As an example sometimes i forget what i say,it always comes up later.Another reason of what this means is when people forget what you say its an accident and makes you feel ok since you cant always remember everything,but if it is very important to you it makes you upset at times.

I think this quote have alot of meaning to it. Frist,that people can forget everything you say or do but they won't forget who you are. For example, my mom forget what I did last week but, she dosent forget who im. Second that alot of famous people well forget about them but, they still known who it is. However, some of us remember who they are and what they did. Lastly, nobody can ever forget you.

I think that this quote means as many times as you may tell someone something or you do something people will not remember.But when you put that person on blast or treat them poorly they will remember and it will come back and bite you in the butt some how.-TaylorHarris
ReplyDeleteI think this quote is trying to say that some people think you are not importan but you think you are importan and that is the real thing you should care.I think you can make some one feel good.

What I feel that she was saying is that know matter how hard you tried to tell someone something they may forget,but if you felt disapointment,later in life that person will remember how you felt.-Joi Tynes
ReplyDeleteI think that this quote is telling the. reader that actions or words arent as strong as the effect they had on people. Lets say you saved a life. People will forget you are a hero but the person you saved will never forget what you did for them. Many people dont recognize peole or what they did but whey alwys remember is how that person affected the peopl around him.
ReplyDeleteI thing the quote means that if some one say's a bad thing to a person , and it might hurt them. They will never forget how they felt but they might forget what the person said.But not all persons forget who made them feel bad or happy and how the person cared about.
ReplyDeleteWhat this quote means to me is that what you do and the things you say do not make a huge impact at the moment but if something ever happened it would be cherished. For example everyone loved Michael Jackson and he was very famous but when he had past away his songs and everything he did was now more important and more valuable even when some people didn't even know him. When you are giving wisdom to someone, they look like their not listening but they really are but just taking it all in and seeing what they feel about it.

Maya Angelou's quote makes sense on the fact that many famous people and groups were or are famous of their impact on people and affects the way they feel. It means that many people can impact others even if their quotes and actions were forgotten. Even Angelou's actions and quotes will gradually be forgotten. For example: John Lennon has affected millions of people on his Beatles and solo careers. Millions more were affected by Lennon's political activism and his mission for world peace and humanity. His actions and quotes will gradually fade no matter how protected and perfectly recorded they are. Another examples including George Washington, Marshall Mathers (Eminem), and Isaac Newton all had great attributes, actions and quotes, but non of these things compare to their affects on the people.

I have to agree on what James said about this quote.Most poetry writers put their feelings into their work but this quote actullay makes sense.What this quote is trying to say is that,people will forget what you said to them and they will forget what you did to them but feelings are different.People will never forget on how you made them feel because it is something that you can't get rid of.For example, when my brother was little he pulled my pants down on a train,that had a lot of people.Most of them looked away others laughed and I started to run to my parents crying,which people saw to.I felt so embarassed that day and I will never forget that day.After that day,he still tries to pants me and when he does,I remember that day and it also makes me angry,which makes me want to beat him up.But now he has stoped this hobby because he will know what I will do to him.Still I will never forget that feeling on being pantsed by my brother.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. - Maya Angelou
ReplyDeleteThis quote is self-explanitory. People will forget what things you would have or wouldn't say,and they will forget things you did or didn't mean to do, they will remember how you made them feel because it must have hurt them, or made them feel good. For example, your friends sometimes play to much and can't take things seriously. They sometimes say stuff and do stuff that is about you, but they think it won't hurt you. You'll forget about it cause you know there just playing around but the feeling you get when they say it can make you feel bad when they're making fun of you. You might remember it, but in a bad way. Most memories want to be remember in a good way. In all, its best to becareful in what you say and do cause it might affect the people around you.

This quote is very true people may forget what you said or what you did but they will never forget how you made them feel. For example, if you said something wrong or what you did they may forget but if you made feel horrible that will never go away only if you apologize to them.

I think that the quote means that if you do something kind to someone they wont forget and they'll pay you back in another kind thing,but if your someone like me,then you plan on getting them back. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat this quote means to me is words can affect people in a way where they will forgive you but,carry their thoughts along with them.This reason is because so often we hurt others feelings but don't know how that person is feeling inside.
ReplyDeleteI think what the quote means is that you may forgot of people or what they did but you will never forget the feeling that people gave them will never go away. This feeling will never go away, it will stick with you your whole life. If it is a emotional feeling it maybe will never go away but if it is a special feeling it will never go away. This is what the quote means.
ReplyDeletei think this quote is something like no one will forget your first impression. i think it means that poeple can forget you and what you look like or how you sound but can never forget good or bad what you did for them and what you made them see and open their eyes to. also what you did for them and helped them do themselves.

For me, this quote means the impression you leave on people in life matters most. The way you treat people obviously effects the way people feel and things you do should make an impact on people. However, those things usually don't matter. The way you treat people and act toward them are memorable. That leaves a mark on the impact you had on another being. The way you choose to act towards another person will always make them remember that one person that made them feel that certain way. In then end, the things you've said probably won't be remembered, neither the things you might have done for the person, but the way you made them understand and feel for the person you were, won't be forgotten.

I think this quote means that people will forget what you said because it not important but it is important to remember how you made them feel because it will hurt and affect you for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI think this quote means that people will forget anything that you say to them,but you have to remember that what ever you said to them a hundred percent might of hurt their feelings.
