In his essay The Right to Fail, William Zinsser claims that dropping out is often a way of dropping in (par 2) and seems cynical about our goal-oriented society (par 8). Respond to his main idea and join the conversation. How accurate does his main idea seem to be? Are there times when failure is beneficial? If so, how? Are there times when being goal-oriented is necessary in life? How might a person reconcile these two seemingly opposing aspects (dropping out and being goal-oriented) in life? Do you have any other insights to add regarding success, failure, or societys attitudes in these matters?
Be sure to quote from Zinssers essay in order to respond to his ideas. You may integrate supporting evidence from other outside sources (facts, statistics from websites, etc.) but be sure to quote correctly and provide proper attribution (remember, even if youre relaying someone elses ideas in your own words, you still need to give attribution for that source both in-text and in a Works Cited page).
