The Watchmen

"We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our own perceptions. yet seen from an others vantage point, as if new, it may still take the breath away." Ch.9 pg27

looking at different situations or problems from different perspectives important. This can make solving problems or understanding situations much easier. An example of this is getting different points of view from different people. In this novel it jumps around from character to character and shows what they are thinking and doing. Some situations can look normal to some people and strange and weird to others. When someone hears a different language it sounds different but when you hear your own language being spoken it sounds normal.

Canucks this season

Vancouver Canucks are the best team in the NHL at conserving energy. The Canucks know that a team doesn't have to come first in the regular season to win the Stanley cup. The Canucks so far have played this regular season with the bare minimum effort required. They have been hanging around 7th to 9th position for the past month this season and the Canucks are planning on locking up 8th place on the last possible game. By only winning when they absolutely have to they know that they haven't wasted any energy and all of their hard work was necessary. Even if they have to play Detroit in the first round the canucks know that they will have to play Detroit at some point in the playoffs. It would be better for Vancouver to play Detroit in the first round when they are fresh from all the energy they conserved from the season than to play them in a later round.
