Describe a personal story of when you have used reason without using language.
It is hard to think of a time when i used reason without using language because language is used in everything, even to prove and reason. The only time would be when i am making a decision for myself and only need to think about it without talking, writing, or action. Once my brother rode his bike to my cousins’ house and i thought about following. He had a red speed bike and i had a pink trycycle. He was going down and big street and had to go near the highway, which, i was taught, dangerous. So, i decided not to go because his bike would be traveling more than ten times faster then my trycycle and i only followed him to the end of the block, then returned home. My little brother on the other hand didn’t even think about this and wanted to go with my brother, so he chased him all the way to the highway and disappeared for 2 hours. Later a cop brought my little brother home and pulled his trycycle out of the trunk. We were all silent reasoning that we might be in trouble and get arrested (though all the children there at the time were 10 and under) because a policeman has POWER; but nothing happened, he let my little brother off with a warning to not go near the highway again and to stay close to home. That could have been me too, but i used reason to stay behind and not get picked up by a cop.
