There will be a time in the future where no human on earth will ever know who you were. For example, think of your great great grandparents. There's a 99% chance you don't know their names, what they looked like or anything about them. If you'd know anything, it would be their name. A person's name is their identity, and is what lets people recognize them. Some questions I have about this is I kind of understand how the tiger and it's skin relates to this but not fully. ]]> 2020-09-11 14:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738885193 to me this means that if m going to share something to you the first thing i want you to know is my name https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738894127 2020-09-11 14:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738894127 “Tigers die and leave their skins; people die and leave their names.” —Japanese proverb https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738894366 Similar to how tigers are known for their unique skin, as humans we have  our names. In the same way that the tiger skin is unique for them, our names are unique as humans. There aren't any animals or insects that provide names for themselves or their children, but it is something that humans do. In relation to the tiger skin, they are all similar but are individual to the tiger while human names are similar but each has their own meaning.


- I agree with the comments that mention that names are a sort of legacy for us since it is not something physical, but it is something that can be passed on through generations. Due to this, there is more significance to a person's name because it is lived up to and then passed down.]]> 2020-09-11 14:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738894366 “Tigers die and leave their skins; people die and leave their names.” —Japanese proverb https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738896869 this quote shows us how legacies are left behind for different types of species. As humans we cannot leave behind physical parts of us so we leave behind our names and that is how people remember us.]]> 2020-09-11 14:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738896869 “Tigers die and leave their skins; people die and leave their names.” —Japanese proverb https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738897120 I feel that this is very powerful as when tigers die, they only leave behind their cubs whilst when humans die, they leave behind their name as their legacy.]]> 2020-09-11 14:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738897120 “It is through our names that we first place ourselves in the world.

It talks about how people are still "alive" when people still remembers them. However, when no one alive can still remember them, that's when you really died and go away with the wind. The question here is how can you leave your name and "live" as long as you can. The name here doesn't only represent your legacy, your ancestor, but also your contribution. Because a lot of people share the same name, it is your contribution which makes you be remembered forever.

-I think I forgot to talk about the tigers here. The tiger skin shows who they once were. However, skins will rot eventually, and become part of the cycle, wait for more leaders. For human being, one day we will all be forgotten, however, we made some changes when we are still alive, that's how we will be remembered by the earth, the sky and the wind. ]]> 2020-09-11 14:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738902069 Humans and animals https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738907170 tend to leave a mark when we die but the comparison differs due to the fact of how our mind and body works. We have names to make us feel acknowledged, however for tigers they are just known for their skin nothing else with no meaning.]]> 2020-09-11 14:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738907170 "Tigers die and leave their skins; people die and leave their names." - Japanese Proverb https://padlet.com/devorahsalsberg/3msl2sozu9oxh4es/wish/738907838 To me, I chose this quote because I feel like there's a deeper meaning to this. I think when it says "people die and leave their names", it means that whether someone has done something good or bad, these people have done something important to be remembered by others. When the writer was writing this quote, maybe he wanted us to remember the importance and why someone is significant or why we shall remember them when they pass but my question that this quote raised for me was I'm not too sure was tigers dying and leaving their skins mean so in what way would the tiger connect to people dying? Maybe their both similar things but I couldn't figure that one out

Everyone's name is a story of their life and their achievements. This quote talks about being remembered through yourself. I would not like to be commemorated using a false name.

I agree with a lot of these comments as multiple mention legacy. Names have power and create identities for different people. Everyone strives to be their own person and if that ability is taken away, it is unknown who they are in the world.

- I agree  with  this comment. Our contribution to the world is the true  legacy that stays from us. People recall us by our name and remember us by who we was behind that name.
