Miguel Ruiz and Linkin Park

For this blog post, I want you to consider the main texts (Miguel Ruiz) we have studied the last few days. Think of the songs we listened to in class (Numb and Somewhere I Belong) and the implications of their messages. How are these texts talking back to one another? What conversation are they entering? What seems to be the central argument for each? For this post, I want you to pull a quote from each text and compose a paragraph (minimum) response that connects the big ideas to the two texts.
