In his memoir. grant stated that he did not like to work when he was a young man, but he did as much as he was expected to do while he attended school. he explained that he was a
privileged child, perhaps more so than the other children in his area. he wrote that he did not get punished at home, but at school, the teachers often hit students with a switch.
this was a physically painful experience that stayed in grant's memory. he wrote, " john d. white-the school teacher-now, with his long beech switch always in his hand. it
was not always the same one either. switches were brought in bundles, from a beech wood near the school house, by the boys for whose benefit they were intended. often a whole
bundle would be used up in a single day. i never had any hard feelings against my teacher either while attending the school. or in later years when reflecting upon my experience. mr.
white was a kindhearted man, and was much respected by the community in which he lived. he only followed the universal custom of the period, and that under which he had received
his own education."
grant added that in the winter of 1838-9, he visited home for christmas vacation. during this time, his father said, "ulysses. i believe you are going to receive the appointment " grant
asked, "what appointment? " "to west point, i have applied for it." his father explained. "but i won't go, "grant said
to which of the senses do the lines in bold appeal?
seeing
hearing
feeling
tasting
