    1. It was early in the afternoon when they got there, so Joe said they must walk over the place and look around.

      Whenever I imagine myself in Eatonville at this point in time, I think of it as the type of place to take a vacation to or stay because It reminds me of my country house and how it has a town nearby so going to Eatonville must be similar. I’ve visited my country house many times over the years and a lot of hotels to stay in.

    1. nd media coverage focused on men—specifically the leaders whose dress and rhetoric catered to the press’s desired image of the Plains Indian warrior.

      This reminds me of readings from a few weeks back and how matriarchy was the center of a lot of tribes but now that has really dimmed down in recent history

    1. O brave new world,That has such people in't!

      This line reminds me so much of the history of colonization. The fact that she calls it a brave new world when others have lived there is straight of a colonizers mindset.

    2. This island's mine, by Sycorax my mother,Which thou takest from me. When thou camest first,

      I think in these quotes we can see a little bit of background to Caliban's behavior. No matter what, attempting to rape Miranda is not justified, but to him it does not seem like a big deal or problem. In this quote he reminds us that the island originally belongs to him and his mother, suggesting that he is the one that shall pass judgment on its grounds. We also know from other parts of the book, they were cruel to the spirits that also inhabited the island with them, which may also impact why he is okay with cruelly treating others. These quotes also give the impression that even after death, Syncorax is able to influence and control Caliban, as he is unable to think of the island without mentioning her. He thinks ruling the island is his birthright and the constant reminder of his mother could be a large factor in his complex of not seeing himself in the wrong.

    3. and then I loved theeAnd show'd thee all the qualities o' the isle,

      This line really highlights the colonizing nature of Prospero to both Caliban and the island. After attempting to be helpful and kind, Prospero captures and controls him. At the same time however, it is impossible for me to think of Caliban as innocent as he tries to rape Miranda, even though I understand that Shakespeare wrote it that way to dehumanize Caliban. It reminds me of Othello, because even though he was punished and manipulated because he was black, he still murdered his wife. Looking through different lenses helps to remove the action from what we think is the author's intention.

    4. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.Sometimes a thousand twangling instrumentsWill hum about mine ears, and sometime voicesThat, if I then had waked after long sleep,Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,The clouds methought would open and show richesReady to drop upon me that, when I waked,I cried to dream again.

      In this speech, Caliban is explaining the mysterious music that they are hearing by magic. While he claims that a virtue of his new language is that it allows him to curse, he actually still shows himself as able to speak in a sensible and beautiful fashion. This speech seems especially poetic, and I find it odd that Shakespeare chose to put it in the mouth of the drunken man/monster. When Caliban had made himself into a completely ridiculous figure, he gives this speech and reminds us that he has something within himself that is often overlooked by the audience and other characters within the play. Overall this speech helps to convey they wondrous beauty of the island and his attachment to it, as well as a respect for Prospero's magic.

    1. cataloging the dominant and recessive traits” that have been passed down to us,

      HANDS UP EMOJI: This reminds me of social darwinism where citizens want people with the best genes and best abilities to collide, purposely leaving the ones opposite of this expectation are left with close to no opportunities to bring themselves up.

    2. “we live in a capitalist society”

      ? This reminds me of when people use "its just the way the world is" as an excuse for something bad. But if its something bad, why is the world still that way? We live in a capitalist society which is not benefitting the majority of the world, so why is it still that way?

    3. Previously the drug cost $13.50 a pill, but in Shkreli’s hands, the price quickly increased by a factor of 56, to $750 a pill.

      (! and hands emoji) This is where you find the old and bad guys (or good and bad companies) of economics. There are the ones who would literally make the price so absurd (like it is) for their own monetary gain, but in the process practically kill many people; and there are the ones who raise it like a good business man would, but either to a manageable price or make it covered by insurance. Hence not making them AS much money, but still a profit. Reminds me of identifying robber barons vs. captains of the industries. But in my opinion every businessman is a robber baron in some way.

    4. At a health care conference, Shkreli told the audience that he should have raised the price even higher. “No one wants to say it, no one’s proud of it,” he explained. “But this is a capitalist society, a capitalist system and capitalist rules.”

      Raise hand emoji This reminds me a lot of something that was said in the model commentary I read today about healthcare. The muckraker said that the power to charge whatever they want for the drug is at the hands of the healthcare provider, as most individuals will pay whatever the price is for life-saving medication. This is one of the most messed up parts of capitalism, and it takes advantage of people's dependency to gain profit. It also reminds me of one of the political cartoons we looked at a few weeks ago that showed the price of oxygen masks on planes. These are instances where money is favored over people's lives, which is unfortunately typical in a capitalistic society.

    1. –The Infinite Creator transcends me in mysterious ways that includes things I cannot fully grasp [5]. I indwell within the Infinite Creator.

      Reminds me of the Buddhist "Ocean and Wave" analogy.

    1. Grief and vengeful Care have made their beds, and pallid Sickness lives there, and sad Old Age, and Fear, and persuasive Hunger, and vile Need, forms terrible to look on, and Death and Pain:

      This vaguely reminds me of the seven deadly sins as seen in the Christian bible. Although I'm not actually familiarized with the bible, the descriptors/themes sound the same.

    1. Jeff Sonnabend in the Ecco Yahoo forum: "I remember first trying to learn Ecco 1.0. It was tough until the proverbial light went on. Then it all made sense. For me, it was simply understanding that Ecco is just a data base. So called folders are nothing more than fields in a flat-file table (like a spreadsheet). The rest is interface and implementation of various users' work or management systems in Ecco. That learning curve, to me, is the primary Ecco "weakness", at least as far as new users go."

      There was a steep learning curve involved with using ECCO Pro. Reminds me of Roam, which also has a steep learning curve, but then it feels like it's worth it.

    2. Chris Thompson: "If your goals in using a PIM are mostly calendaring, todos, and a phonebook, then Maximizer, Outlook, and Time and Chaos all do a reasonable job. On an enterprise-level, Lotus Notes would be another good choice. If you're more interested in keeping track of notes or research, Lotus Agenda, Zoot, or InfoHandler are better choices. For keeping track of miscellaneous files, InfoSelect is pretty good. On the other hand, if you want to do a little of everything, and do it well, Ecco really has no rivals."

      ECCO Pro was loved for its ability to do a lot of different things versus being good at one narrow thing. Reminds me of Roam Research.

    1. Daisy and Jordan lay upon an enormous couch, like silver idols, weighing down their own white dresses against the singing breeze of the fans

      the imagery reminds me of like a statue. the way he describes the with such a feminine eye

    1. Like many other hotel bars and restaurants, the Plaza excluded women during weekday lunch hours, from noon until three, so as not distract the businessmen from their deal-making. But Friedan and the group of activists walked past the maître-d’ and gathered around a table.

      This shows the recurring problem of blaming women for mens's actions. Why must a woman sacrifice her social life or way of living because a man can't control his thoughts. Reminds me of dress codes in school that seemingly were only enforced on girls.

    1. blindfolding

      This reminds me of the first sentence of "Araby": "NORTH RICHMOND STREET, being blind, was a quiet street..." Maria playing the divination game blindfolded implies that the dubliners are mentally blind

    1. Imagine next a whole range of cases, in each of which, in a single operation, a different proportion of the cells in your brain and body would be replaced with exact duplicates. At the near end of this range, only 1 or 2 per cent would be replaced; in the middle, 40 or 60 per cent; near the far end, 98 or 99 per cent. At the far end of this range is pure teletransportation, the case in which all of your cells would be ‘replaced’

      This reminds me of the Ship of Theseus

    2. ‘How many colours can you see?’ With both hands the person writes, ‘Only one’. The words are now changed to read, ‘Which is the only colour that you can see?’

      This is really interesting how although there are two colors people still see one but not everyone is seeing the same colors because there are two colors. This also reminds me of the controversial issue going around a couple years ago about a blue and gold dress and how some people were seeing blue and other people were seeing gold.

    1. conceal knives ready for strangers we pass in the street if they don't recognise our right of way.

      This is a super interesting and impactful line. It suggests a hypocrisy that is reveling the true nature of people. What strikes me though is that it occurs right after the discussion about generational knowledge. Is it suggesting something about hypocrisy in ancestors? Also, the close tie to veganism reminds me of tourism as a privilege or a use of trying to get over some guilt in a wishy-washy way.

    1. Like every other group, we must be judged by our leaders and by those who are themselves gay,those who are visible. For invisible, we remain in limbo – a myth, a person with no parents, nobrothers, no sisters, no friends who are straight, no important positions in employment. A tenth ofthe nation supposedly composed of stereotypes and would-be seducers of children – and no offensemeant to the stereotypes. But today, the black community is not judged by its friends, but by its blacklegislators and leaders. And we must give people the chance to judge us by our leaders andlegislators. A gay person in office can set a tone, con command respect not only from the largercommunity, but from the young people in our own community who need both examples and hope.

      Reminds me Nixon's concept of a "silent majority" and how such population would respond to the vocal minorities regarding civil rights rather than war/foreign affairs.

    1. When students are sitting in classes hungry, when they cannot see the words on the board or on the page, and when they experience school as a place where they are regularly bombarded with standardized tests, we have to wonder: Education as a great equalizer for whom?When they are forced to learn under conditions that rely on English Only and zero-tolerance policies, we have to inquire:

      The goal of the education system should be consistent with the goals of educators; but social constructs interfere with all of our lives. This reminds me of my earlier linguistic classes; if the goal to 'help' students or conform them to a popular ideal?

    1. We’ve had people go so far as to tell us that mnemonics make memory a solved problem

      This reminds me of Donald Trump: "People are saying...". Who are these people and why should we care what they are saying?

      This is a straw man argument...making a claim that few people familiar with the literature would support, and then taking a position in opposition to the claim.

    1. Equally as important, these teachers offer urban middle school students opportunities and tools to counter narrate—simultaneously critiquing and reimagining the places they inhabit and the often-negative stories told about them

      This reminds me The Stories They Tell, where students/teachers explore all the injustices, explicit and implicit, to transform original knowledge. I think this is the goal of a democratic education.

    2. including community knowledge that may not be valued in schools or as part of the official curriculum.

      This phrase reminded me of a lot of conversations I had with my Unit 2 group about how bias a lot of curriculum is. It reminds me of how important it is for educators to recognize this.

    1. Creek by blood” but her husband was “Creek Freedman,” their children would be considered to be “Creek Freedmen” as well, overriding matrilineal rules.

      Reminds me of readings in week 3 that talks about how colonization is seen as gendered

    1. rarely posit Black people in positive ways. Even when Black people are victims of violence, it is rare that their accomplishments are named in the media. Conversely, the media are careful about how they represent White criminals, usually portraying them sympathetically.

      This reminds me of the incident with Christian Cooper. In Central Park, Mr. Cooper was bird watching and asked a white woman to put a leash on her dog. She responded by calling 911 to claim that a Black man was threatening her life. Some new outlets were sympathetic, and her lawyer also said that any repercussion is 'cancel culture'. Mr. Cooper graduated from Harvard and is well-respected, and in my opinion, this is why the media begrudgingly did not try to portray him negatively.

    2. 131Baker-Bell, Stanbrough, and Everett > The Stories They Telldents on cell-phone video, shows the girl sitting at her desk when the officer grabs her and tosses her around like a rag doll. There were many conflicting views about the nature of the incident. For example, Harry Houck, an analyst from CNN—a major force in world news and information delivery—argued: “If that girl got out of the seat when she was told, there’d be no problem. But apparently she had no respect for the school, no respect for her teacher, probably has no respect at home or on the street, and that’s why she acted the way she did” (“She Had No Respect,” 2015). Rather than seeing the girl as the victim, Houck faulted her for the attack, which is troublesome but unsurprising, given mainstream media’s coverage of brutality against Black bodies. Aside from victim blaming, Houck attempted to legitimize the brutal-ity “through a discourse of demonization, stereotypes, and objectification” (Giroux, 2015) in his assumptions about her lack of respect. Others, such as cultural critic and CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill, had a drastically different perspective from Houck’s. Hill (2015) emphatically asserted in a tweet following the incident that “NOBODY would be asking what that little girl did to deserve a police assault if she were white.” Hill’s tweet problematizes media perspec-tives such as Houck’s that fail to acknowledge the intersections of race and police brutality, especially when it comes to Black youth. Despite Hill’s important critique, Houck’s perspective could carry more weight with media consumers given his role as an analyst with CNN and Hill’s as a commenter. Moreover, Hill’s critique was put out via Twitter, whereas Houck’s was broadcasted on national television. For us, Houck’s comment captures the critical role that mainstream media play in the “debasement of Black humanity, utter indifference to Black suffering, and the denial of Black people’s right to exist” (Jefferies, 2014). Furthermore, the Spring Valley incident reminds us that schools and classrooms are not exempt from assault against Black bodies. In other words, the same racist brutality toward Black citizens that we see happening on the streets across the United States mirrors the violence

      We first have to look at who are the people in these positions in these places. These are the same people who are treating black citizens in the streets as well. The media doesn't hold black students the same way as a white student. This just made me furious. CNN had no understanding of why the student acted the way she did. You don't hold her as victim and it's her fault.You have to understand the kids in order to reach them.

    3. One example of involving Black youth in this work is by having them design protest signs. By doing so, they can create and draw from their own language(s) to create loving and accurate portrayals of their experiences.

      I really like this idea, and it reminds me of a point that is made in Pose, Wobble, Flow by Antero Garcia and Cindy O'Donnell-Allen. How we can encourage our students to take their work to the next step? What are ways in which their work in the classroom can lead to change in the classroom and beyond? For example, the students could hold a school assembly to present their protest signs or post them on a social media platform. That way, their voices and work are able to reach others beyond the classroom and keep the conversation going.

    1. This reminds me of how similar and true this is for spoken language as well because from my experience, often the use of slang is common among young people and I’ve often found it to be used incorrectly with older aged individuals

      This is a relevant comparison, but as you've phrased it, it's not appropriate for a summary. Something like this could go at the end where you talk about the contribution of the text, but do so in an "objective" way that's not framed specifically in terms of your own experience

    1. Intelligent PDF viewers, eBook readers, audiobook & podcast players

      This whole section reminds me of Ted Nelson's Xanadu system, and of course Douglas Englebart's NLS. If you don’t know about them (I didn’t see any mentions) you should look them up immediately! Neither one exist as more than demos, but they’re inspiring.

    1. what cathedral workers must have been like, the ones who lay on scaffolds, a deadly distance above the ground, to complete carvings that were much too high to ever be seen by the worshippers below. Their work, and Br. Joseph’s, is done for God, and for this one girl.

      Reminds me of Antoni Gaudí talking about God as his client. People always quote him joking about la Sagrada Família taking forever, "My client is not in a hurry." But I liked what he said about the Mercat Santa Caterina, for which he designed an unbelievably complex, decorative roof. "Nobody will see it!" critics said. "Do you think God is nobody?!" he responded.

    1. I did it because it made me feel like I was contributing to my state and a part of the community around me

      also reminds me of organism--the need to belong, to have value, to make a contribution

    1. If we interpret space as khoros, it means that it is not already given: it is produced (Lefebvre 1974).

      Reminds me of Victor Burgin's psycho-geographical interpretation of space. As Burgin argues, through Guy Debord, "the lessons drawn from the derive permit the drawing up of the first surveys of the psychogeographical articulations of a modern city. Beyond the discovery of unities of ambiance, of their main components and their spatial localization, one comes to perceive their principal axes of passage, their exits and their defenses. One arrives at the central hypothesis of the existence of psychogeographical pivotal points." (32). When trying to conceptualize this passage I immediately thought of the desire path, which refers to a path created as consequence of erosion caused by the desire of people to take the shortest or most efficient route to their destination. Is there place for the desire path within platforms, can we find transgressive gaps for human desire to inform these social spaces?

    1. For this island is by no means poor, but would carry any crop in due season. There are rich well-watered meadows there, along the shore of the grey sea, where vines would never fail.

      It bothers me that the land the cyclopes inhibit is described so positively, but the cyclopses themselves are not. It reminds me of descriptions given of Native Americans when America was being colonized (yikes).

    1. . If you outline a paper too early in the writing process, you risk missing these connections. You line up your argument -A. B. C. -without fully understanding why. Sketching your argument helps you to see, for example, that points A and C really overlap and need to be thought through more carefully.

      I definitely run into this problem more than I should. I often start right away by outlining my paper and I will miss certain opportunities to make more insightful connections within my writing because I look at and figure out the structure of my paper too early on. This reminds me of the idea of picking a typeface before actually writing, therefore assigning an idea to something that has yet to be fully formed.

    2. You line up your argument -A. B. C. -without fully understanding why. Sketching your argument helps you to see, for example, that points A and C really overlap and need to be thought through more carefull

      This section of "sketching your argument" is very helpful. It is a good tip to relieve the anxiety involved with not knowing where to begin. It reminds me of the SFD, just sketch, brainstorm, start. "Without fully understanding why", sometimes starting something, or just beginning to organize the arguments will lead to a clearer picture later on. Again, emphasizing that no one starts with a clear organized essay, it is a "work in progress" and one has to start somewhere. Starting is the key, reminds me of the saying "Showing up is half the battle."

    3. Working from your sketch, try to see theline of reasoning that is evolving.

      This section in general reminds me of brainstorming a mind map as the textbook discussed. I feel rather unsure of the process detailed so far though. It feels like something I would to organize information, identify lines of inquiry, and produce a thesis - not after I have constructed my thesis.

    4. But length isn't all that matters in paragraph development. What's important is that a paragraph develops its idea fully, and in a manner that a reader can follow with ease

      This reminds me of the saying quality over quantity, and this case it isn't necessarily how much evidence you have but rather how you apply such evidence to your argument. Having evidence is obviously an important factor since you can't make a claim without sufficient facts to back it up however, you don't necessarily need the same kind of evidence every time. Rather you should explain that piece of evidence and how it either supports or goes against your claim. It is important to further analyze your evidence in your own words and demonstrate why it is important to the overall picture.

    1. There are more than 500 federally recognized tribal nations in the United States today, each with distinct systems of governance, languages, locations, material cultures, religions, and, of course, stories! Some people are taken aback at the word “nation” as applied to Native nations because of the tendency to group Native peoples with other minority groups in the United States.

      This reminds me of Teaching For a Living Democracy by Block. The author describes the community efforts of acknowledging and celebrating the history and customs of the Maori people.

    2. Critical literacy encourages children to read between the lines and ask questions when engaging with literature: Whose story is this? Who benefits from this story? Whose voices are not being heard?

      This reminds me of Paulo Friere's "read the word and the world."

    1. One area of this work that is particularly resonant with our concerns here is the exploration of the intersections between shared, collective traumas and more intimate, personal traumas; witnessing of and testimony to life stories as pedagogy; and classrooms as sites of vulnerability and embodied experience

      This reminds me of the foundations of many projects explained in Teaching for a Living Deomocracy. Block's projects resulted with his students (mostly) invested in the work because it revolved about their stories and the stories of others.

    2. The nuances of a “safe space” for SEL in our classrooms requires looking across social, political, and cultural factors for all members of a school community.

      I completely agree with this statement, and it reminds me of a critical point made in Pose, Wobble, Flow by Antero Garcia and Cindy O'Donnell-Allen that teachers cannot be apolitical in the classroom. In order to create a safe space in the classroom, we need to recognize who we are creating this safe space for and from who/what, and why we are creating a safe space. We cannot do this without acknowledging the social, political, and cultural factors that impact our students' lives--something that can be very much political, and for some, even controversial.

    1. Our plan was to live in a golden cage for three days, presenting our­selves as undiscovered Amerindians from an island in the Gulf of Mexico that had somehow been overlooked by Europeans for five centuries. We called our homeland Guatinau, and ourselves Guatinauis. We performed our "traditional tasks," which ranged from sewing voodoo dolls and lifting weights to watching television and working on a laptop computer. A dona­tion box in front of the cage indicated that for a small fee, I would dance (to rap music), Guillermo would tell authentic Amerindian stories (in a nonsensical language) and we would pose for polaroids with visitors. Two "zoo guards" would be on hand to speak to visitors (since we could not understand them), take us to the bathroom on leashes, and feed us sand­wiches and fruit. At the Whitney Museum in New York, we added sex to our spectacle, offering a peek at authentic Guatinaui male genitals for $5.

      This whole performance reminds me of a piece that we learned about in our recent slide lecture, and the piece is Betye Saar's The Liberation of Aunt Jemima, 1972. I compare the two works of art because, Saar's piece had similar symbolism of sterotypes for the African American culture as compared to Gomez-Pena and Fusco's use of symbolism for stero typical 'Guatinau' sterotypes. Both artists with both works of art are portaying this racist dipiction for the purpose of educating the viewers and for the purpose of taking back that power from the oppressors. In this the piece becomes empowering and educational.

    1. The conquered or visited peoples are thus forced into a long and painful quest after an identity whose first task will be opposition to the denaturing process introduced by the conqueror. A tragic variation of a sear'ch for identity. For more than two centuries whole populations have had to assert their identity in opposition to the processes of identification br annihilation triggered by these invaders

      This reminds me in native Americans for some reason. The struggles that the natives went through to survive once America was found by the Europeans. It also reminds me of how much their culture and cultures have been lost for pointless reasons. For instance, take Mount Rushmore. They took what was considered sacred ground to carve some stupid faces into the mountain. Not only that but it if of the faces of people that were responsible for killing so many of their people.

    1. Whoistosaythatrobbinga peopleofitslanguageislessviolent thanwar

      This reminds me of the saying stick and stone may break my bone but words will never hurt me. Some people know how to make words seem more hurtful then what it really is.

    1. traversed the little circus before the church

      Like Mansfield’s The Garden Party and Other Stories, where the characters in each vignette appear in the same universe, I feel like this is also the same with Joyce’s. “The circus” reminds me of Araby. Perhaps it was the same event?

    2. It was impossible

      This line stands out to me because it seems to imply that something held Eveline back, but that it was not necessarily her own will. It reminds me of the discussion we had about paralysis in these stories.

    1. or souls being, as far as we know anything of them, in their nature indifferent to any parcel of matter, the supposi-tion has no apparent absurdity in it,)

      What is a soul? This reminds me of the Soul Theory and how since we don't know what a soul really is, it is not a strong theory of personal identity.

    1. Culbert notes two jarring events that seemed made for television’s vivid imagery, creating lasting effects on the American psyche.

      This whole situation reminds me of Plato's allegory of the cave: Americans being accustomed to peace (not considering civil unrest) while being blind to the fact that other countries suffer as a result of us "containing communism" and being shocked to find out about the reality of what has really been going on in these other countries being "saved" by us.

    1. e discovers the shape of his oppression

      This phrase applies to us all. Baldwin speaks of black children here learning about who and how oppression is represented in their lives. The idea that oppression has a shape to be discovered reminds me of this:

      There is a difference. The shape of oppression actively brutalizes the one who is touching it. And DuBois would argue that it shapes the one who is oppressing as well.

    1. The students stood up, formed a circle, and documented their perceptions and feelings about the name in their journals. Then, they shared aloud their thoughts.

      This reminds me a lot of practice we use at my school called restorative justice circles.

    1. s would help these women because limiting the number of children they could have would help them to become more financially stable.

      it loosely reminds me of the war on poverty rhetoric in a sense since it's reinforcing the idea that poor women of color are unfit to raise children.

    2. Within this report, there is an understanding of poverty that is predicated upon this idea that “paupers” are poor because they expect others to do things for them, that they are unwilling in some way to work for themselves. The Meriam Report does not blame Native people for being “paupers”—it explicitly blames the past policies of the government. However, it asserts that Native people have adopted this “pauper point of view.” For example:

      Yeah again reifying this individual narrative of how some ppl got used to having a helping hand, got lazy and because used to having help from the government. It reminds me very loosely of the Moynihan report on Black communities in the 60s or 70s.

    1. get blamed on Black youth rather than on the structural inequalities endemic to US society.

      This reminds me of a scene from the documentary "Precious Knowledge," which I highly recommend. The school's teachers are in a meeting and one of the school's white teachers states that the students are damaged, "culturally damaged" and describes how learning has become irrelevant in their lives. Another teacher in the meeting, a Latinx man, responds by describing how students have a dysfunctional relationship with school and not learning, primarily because of the ways in which the educational system (and the structural inequalities in place, as stated in this reading) do NOT serve Black and Brown students.

      Both the scene from the documentary and this statement demonstrate how the blame is put on the students and not the racist and oppressive systems that push them out.

      "Precious Knowledge"

    2. talk back to narratives of failure

      I love this phrase and will continue to research and apply this. This also reminds me of a text to media connection, these boys who challenge the school to prison pipeline in the Netflix show Grand Army.

    1. ay to boarding school.

      This reminds me of indigenous people in Australia and how many children were taken away from their homes to be raised in a "white" society. leaving no other option but boarding school seems as though they are trying to take their culture away from them at an early and impressionable age

    1. And you were handsome, and my fate lured me on: the light of your eyes stole mine away.

      Even though this poem was written so long ago, the pain and betrayal of Medea's dialogue reminds me a lot of modern songs. It carries the same themes of love and betrayal and the pain that comes along with it that modern songs do. It's just very timeless.

    1. Freshman writers are re-envisioned in this kind of cyberspace as constructors of andco-participants in black intellectual and rhetorical traditions...now AfroDigitized.

      This "re-envisioning" reminds me a bit of Afrofuturist movements broadly speaking. Online realms can be a realm of possibility!

    1. Pardon, master;I will be correspondent to commandAnd do my spiriting gently.

      Ariel reminds me of a lot of characters throughout previous plays that resemble the trickster archetype. but she is more obedient than the previous ones we have read. (Puck and Iago for example).

    2. I boarded the king's ship; now on the beak,Now in the waist, the deck, in every cabin,

      Ariel reminds me a lot of Puck in Midsummer. He narrates what he is doing and what the characters are doing, and uses magic. He is also serving a master (like Puck serving Oberon) but seems to have a lot less freedom within their relationship. This could show a different side of magic than we see in Midsummer, one with less agency and more aggressive control on the part of the magician.

    3. Made such a sinner of his memory,To credit his own lie, he did believeHe was indeed the duke; out o' the substitution

      Prospero's complaint reminds me of King Lear's, in which he wants to maintain his position without doing the work that is required of it. As we discussed in class, the nature of a king's relationship with his people is through the work that provides as king he earns love and devotion. This feels like the complaints that Goneril and Regan had with Lear, which were seemingly reasonable at the time.

    4. Twelve year since, Miranda, twelve year since,

      Knowing that Miranda is meant to be married at the end of this play, coming to the realization that she is currently between 14-15 years old reminds me of the societal differences compared to modern day. While in the past being married at such an age was normal, now I am only aware of how horrifying it would be to imagine being married at such an age. This does change her naivety from being a show a virtue in a woman to child-like innocence, which is a little sketchy.

    1. Let him be a fugitive slave in a strange land—a land given up to be the hunting-ground for slaveholders—whose inhabitants are legalized kidnappers—where he is every moment subjected to the terrible liability of being seized uponby his fellow-men, as the hideous crocodile seizes upon his prey!—I say, let him place himself in my situation—without home or friends—without money or credit—wanting shelter, and no one to give it—wanting bread, and no money to buy it,—and at the same time let him feel that he is pursued by merciless men-hunters, and in total darkness as to what to do,where to go, or where to stay,—perfectly helpless both as to the means of defence and means of escape,—in the midst of plenty, yet suffering the terrible gnawings of hunger,—in the midst of houses, yet having no home,—among fellow-men, yet feeling as if in the midst of wild beasts, whose greediness to swallow up the trembling and half-famished fugitive is only equalled by that with which the monsters of the deep swallow up the helpless fish upon which they subsist,—I say, let him be placed in this most trying situation,—the situation in which I was placed,—then, and not till then, will he fully appreciate the hardships of, and know how to sympathize with, the toil-worn and whip-scarred fugitive slave.

      reminds me of MLK's anecdote in "Letter from Birmingham Jail"

    1. eptthecoincidenceof havingcheatedonyourwivesinthesamesummerwiththesamewoman...girl...woman?Whatexceptthat?Andhardlya distinction.

      Claire ponders if she should refer to the person Tobias cheated with as a girl or a woman, clearly there being a distinction in her mind. Then, she goes on to say there is hardly a distinction, contradicting herself. As the audience does not have more context on this affair, we do not know if girl or woman feels more appropriate, or what meaning Claire has put to the terms. It reminds me of her distinction of alcoholic and drunk, maybe in her mind one is acceptable and one is not? I wonder if she is not truly trying to make a distinction, but to provoke a reaction to Tobias, as if insinuating it was a "girl" would be worse. If so, Tobias does not appear to rise to the bate, only trying to derail the conversation as a whole.

    1. 13 His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, bring them to me.”

      This reminds me of when God walked through the covenant with Abraham twice so that is Abraham messes up it will be on god. this shows that if Isaac finds out all the blame will go on his mother.

    1. Apparently I needed towrite to understand what I wanted to explain and how

      This reminds me of the Microsoft research talk (link pending) about the advice he gave to his researcher students about not waiting until having ideas clear to write them, but write ideas to make them clear.

      In my case, documentation has been a pretty active part of Grafoscopio and Brea, but the closer prose, code and workshops are, the clearer I'm about how and what to teach (and the code and prose to write and to replace/erase).

    1. Our experiments lead us to favorthe idea that synesthetes are experiencingthe result of some kind of cross wiring inthe brain.

      this is kind of what I assumed - also reminds me of the neurodiversity phenomenon, this truly is a brain difference and one that I'm not sure if it's been pathologized

    1. there are no facestruer than those that are so washed

      This line by Leonato, stating that crying is the purest form of emotional sincerity reminds me of the moment after Hero is accused where Benedick finds Beatrice crying. It is a moment where the snarky Beatrice is being vulnerable, her crying showing that she is not hiding behind her wit and Benedick can see a fully open side of her.

    2. Marry, that can Hero;Hero itself can blot out Hero's virtue.What man was he talk'd with you yesternightOut at your window betwixt twelve and one?Now, if you are a maid, answer to this.

      Claudio's demand to Hero reminds me of many trials for witches, which were a lose-lose situation for the women accused. If Hero does not answer the question, she is sullying her maidenhood, however, if she admits there was a man in her bedroom, this also damages her reputation. This is a prime example of oppression on women creating impossible situations for them.

    3. She speaks poniards, and every word stabs:

      This line reminds me of when Margaret said that Benedick's wit is a dull blade, as it never actually hurts anyone. In comparison, Beatrice is shown to make very sharp remarks and Benedick seems genuinely hurt by her remarks, while she thinks little of his. That is interesting to note because as the story continues, her jabs at Benedick seem to become more playful than pointed as she begins to care for him.

    1. Stockdale’s lesson was to never confuse the necessary belief that you’ll prevail in the end, with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of current reality, whatever they may be

      Reminds me of the founding process. You can believe that things will prevail in the end without enough control over your inputs, but that cannot rationalize lethargy in your day-to-day behavior.

    1. Academic rigor shouldn’t be built into a course like an impenetrable fortress for students to inhabit.

      This imagery of an impenetrable fortress reminds me of the authoritarianism and control of Skinner and the teaching machines. I agree that rigour is fostered through a student and teacher's love of learning discovery.

    1. "Disabled person" vs. "person with a disability" Example: "He is a disabled person" vs. "He is a person with a disability." Impact: This is one of the most debated areas of disability language, particularly between North Americans and Europeans. "Disabled person" is sometimes seen as putting the disability first, and describing the person according to it. However, proponents point out that "disabled" is a description of society and its treatment of disability; in other words, one is "disabled" by society's problems with access, inclusion, and so forth. This is often related to the social model of disability, emphasizing the experience of disability rather than the condition itself. This idea is most prevalent in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom. In North America, "person with a disability" prevails because of person-first language, which tries to put the person at the forefront above everything else; in other words, the person is not defined by his/her disability. It has a smaller emphasis on society's role in the experience of having a disability.

      This reminds me of the tedx talk Why everything you know about autism is wrong by [[Jac den Houting]] and the differences between the [[medical model of disability]] and the [[social model of disability]]

      but the idea with the [[social model of disability]] - is that the person is being disabled by the environment,

    1. But within months of his murder nearly all of it would be gone. White creditors and people posing as cred-itors took the money the family got from the sale of their trucks and cat-tle. They even staked claims on what was left of the family’s savings. The jobs that he provided were gone, too. Almost overnight the Bollings went from prosperity to poverty.

      This story is jaw dropping to me. As I read I felt tears coming on. Knowing that just because a man has success was the reason that the people killed him is devastating to me. Elmore Bolling had seven children and a wife. He had a business, he provided people with jobs, he had saved money in the bank. That was all gone with in months of his death. To think that these people probably don't even care what happens to the family or the people who had lost their jobs shows how cruel this world can be. It reminds me of everything that has been happening in our world today, how some people don't think of the life these people have.

    2. Laws governing slavery were replaced with Black Codes govern-ing free black people — making the criminal-justice system central to new strategies of racial control.

      This statement reminds me about the article defining spaghetti junction and how that highway in Atlanta had segregated two sides of town. The fact the people thought that because they changed the laws about slavery to the Black Code was ok is devastating. The criminal justice system coming up with new strategies of racial control shows that people can't let go of this haunting past. In the next sentence it states how the strategies intensified when ever black people asserted their independence or if they achieved any measure of success. You should not forget the past but you should learn from it, and become better.

    1. Is where I now want to fish

      I appreciate not repeating the subject, it reminds me of a lot of subject-lacking sentences in Caribbean forms of English, like "is just a movie" that gives the title to Earl Lovelace's novel

    2. Mr. VAULTIER MAYENCOURT

      This is a reference to a slave owner who was put on trial in 1841 for abusing a young enslaved boy. Vaultier Mayencourt was acquitted. You can read a contemporary description of the case here.

      I haven't been able to find information about the other names here, but I suspect something similar. Does anyone have information about them?

      This reminds me a little bit, too, of the way the Baron de Vastey in Haiti produced a work that documented the atrocities committed by particular masters in Saint-Domingue, a way of putting them on trial in absentia, after the fact, so that the crimes would not be forgotten.

    1. Choctaw removal began in 1831 – people were moved to Vicksburg and Memphis, transferred to steamboats and carried via the Mississippi, and then they walked. The walk was brutal—the winter was cold and snowy, the people lacked warm clothes, the transport agents failed to supply enough food. In 1832, a cholera outbreak struck the migrants and killed many. By the time the last wave was scheduled, news of the hardships terrified the remaining Choctaws, and only 900 agreed to go. Of the 14,000 Choctaws who left Mississippi, 2,500 people died in the move. About 6,000 of them remained in the East—some of whom moved themselves west over the next several years

      This reminds me of the Trail of tears where many Indians walked for hundreds of miles with no adequate sustenance and died on the way.

    1. Re-presentation may be gone but it is not forgotten

      This reminds me of the infamous Robert Rauschenberg "Erased de Kooning Drawing" from 1953, and the notions of permanence. By removing as much of the original artists marks, what remained still showed the ghosts and reversal of the image. This re-creation now becomes a part of art histories discussion around artist value as well. Who is the artist of the work, or is the credit shared? The label on the matted frame was added by Jasper Johns, now the narrative and labour of the work incorporates three artists and a timeline spanning from 1951 (first created by de Kooning - 1953 when it was framed and presented as something new.

    1. could be converted to a beneficial method of consolidating useable land, water, forests, fisheries, and other exploitable and renewable natural resources into productive economic, cultural, or other community-purpose units, benefiting both individual and tribal interests in direct forms under autonomous control of properly-defined, appropriate levels of Indian government.

      This reminds me of litigation between the Agua Caliente band of Cahuilla Indians and water agencies over rights to groundwater in the aquifer beneath the Coachella Valley. Many federal and state courts have recognized that the reserved water rights of Indian tribes applies to groundwater underlying reservations. However legal issues which include quantifying the Tribe’s share and whether there is a right to water of a certain quality have not been resolved.

    2. The Congress should eliminate the immunity of non-Indians to the general application of law and law enforcement within Reservation Boundaries, without regard to land or property title. Title 18 of the U.S. Code should be amended to clarify and compel that all persons within the originally-established boundaries of an Indian Reservation are subject to the laws of the sovereign Indian Nation in the exercise of its autonomous governing authority. A system of concurrent jurisdiction should be minimum requirement in incorporated towns.

      This is one of the key points. This reminds me of the readings about jurisdiction two weeks ago anyhow it led to many Native Women being abused.

    1. SomeIndiansweresuspiciousandrefusedtoattend,withtheresultthattroopsmightdisciplinethem.

      This reminds me of a quote from Star Wars: "You call this a diplomatic solution?" "No, I call it aggressive negotiations."

      Quotes like these in Star Wars subtly suggest how the Jedi were supposed to be a diplomatic entity serving as neutral arbitrators in a conflict. Before the Clone Wars, the Jedi were people who you could rely on to make decisions based not on what was best for the government of The Republic and it's agenda, but on what was right and just. In reality the Jedi ended up taking on the role of soldiers; effectively carrying out the unjust and oppressive philosophies they claimed they were defending people from. I view the dualism between the philosophy behind vs. the application of Western Law (with its principles of civil rights and equality before the law) this way in regards to how it affected marginalized populations in America. Western Law is in theory supposed to function as an impartial check on the selfish interests of government power and a guardian of individual rights. Instead it ended up being a mere pretense for an instrument of control, a way for those in power to regulate and punish people not in power. Many European-Americans claimed they were duty-bound to disseminate those principles of Western civilization to what they viewed as primitive and backwards cultures. However like the Jedi, many were blind to their own hypocrisy in their mission.

    1. practice of targeting the “Indian bars” for weekend arrests on “drunk and disorderly” charges

      This reminds me of the controversial "stop and frisk" practice used by NYC cops.

    2. They expanded their reach to other issues, directly confronting city hall, county and state agencies, and other institutions to demand more responsiveness to the needs and desires of Native people. They accompanied individual Natives to employment centers, welfare agencies, and courtrooms to advocate for their interests, and went to juvenile detention centers and prisons to counsel and connect with Native inmates. They took a confrontational approach to urban institutions, insisting on more Native control over urban services for Native people. AIM founders Dennis Banks and Clyde Bellecourt both have asserted that AIM filled a gap in existing Native organizing in the Twin Cities.

      this reminds me of the occupation of the island of Alcatraz because Native people's are definitely affected by the prison complex/policing and ironic how they occupied an old prison got under the US's skin but literally speaks to the larger dilemma of how Native people are literally criminalized for their existence.

    1. The current logo of vscode reminds me of a fish which is a religious symbol and is very offensive to me, additionally christianity has cost millions of lives over the centuries, yet even if that was not the case, pushing religious symbols as part of a product design is completely unacceptable. Please remove it immediately and make it your top priority. To me this is almost equally offensive as a swastika.

    1. The day when he ordered the town to line up on the patio of the schoolyard to watch the four rebels hanging there

      This reminds me of WW2, and of a movie I watched called Jojo rabbit

    1. partly because these men had always been in favour of making peace and surrendering Helen.

      There's a common theme here of women being treated as something you can give, like gifts? It reminds me of how lots of gods are just 'given' wives by Zeus.

    2. The Aborigines, who occupied the country, with their king Latinus at their head, came hastily together from the city and the country districts to repel the inroads of the strangers by force of arms.

      This seriously reminds me of colonization. I guess it makes sense that there were people around before that were considered the "original settlements/ indigenous" and then there were "foreigners" that came and invaded. Therefore, I guess both of them partook in creating a settlement, and thats why the origins of cities may have two foundation stories.

    1. this next to this next to that.

      This reminds me of a video I watched for a creative writing class. The man in the video said for a story to be good, a writer shouldn't everything that will happen first, but find out what happens as they write. This idea seems to hold. true here for creating dance.

    1. I wouldn't like to live in this dump. I wouldn't mind if you had a window, you could see what it looked like outside.

      Their confinement to the basement and inability to see anything else automatically defines their class position. If directionality is used as a metaphor for wealth, privilege, and social standing, Ben and Gus are literally at the bottom as working class citizens. Significantly, they don't even have a window to see the outside, perhaps representing their inability to see outside their arduous, repetitive circumstances. They may wonder what it's like (as Ben does) but simply can't imagine another life. Additionally, while more privileged classes aren't limited and thus could technically enter the basement and see Ben and Gus, there's no incentive to do so and the simple fact that the basement is below ground and windowless makes it virtually invisible to outsiders, thus easy to not think about. In the same way, the voices of the working class are invisible to or ignored by more privileged classes. This reminds me a lot of Parasite.

    1. Even if I really came from people who were living like monkeys in trees, it was better to be that than what happened to me, what I became after I met you.

      (informal): wow this line is really gut-wrenching. After the narrator met these people who took over Antigua, she was miserable. She would've rather been "uncivilized" than have to experience the powerlessness that society created, a world where she cannot run things or understand how certain changing things work. It reminds me of the line from Black Panther where Killmonger says, "Bury me in the ocean, with my ancestors that jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage."

    1. In 1995 Steve Jobs could still remember it exactly. In an interview with Robert X. Cringely for the PBS show “Triumph of the nerds” he said:I had three or four people (at Apple) who kept bugging that I get my rear over to Xerox PARC and see what they are doing. And, so I finally did. I went over there. And they were very kind. They showed me what they are working on. And they showed me really three things. But I was so blinded by the first one that I didn’t even really see the other two. One of the things they showed me was object oriented programming – they showed me that but I didn’t even see that. The other one they showed me was a networked computer system… they had over a hundred Alto computers all networked using email etc., etc., I didn’t even see that. I was so blinded by the first thing they showed me, which was the graphical user interface. I thought it was the best thing I’d ever seen in my life. Now remember it was very flawed. What we saw was incomplete, they’d done a bunch of things wrong. But we didn’t know that at the time but still thought they had the germ of the idea was there and they’d done it very well. And within – you know – ten minutes it was obvious to me that all computers would work like this some day. It was obvious. You could argue about how many years it would take. You could argue about who the winners and losers might be. You could’t argue about the inevitability, it was so obviousSteve Jobs about his visit to Xerox PARC – Clip from Robert Cringley’s TV documentation “Triumph of the Nerds“.

      Steve Jobs when given a tour at the Xerox PARC in 1979 was so struck by the GUI that they were developing that he could not even process the other things he was shown (Object Oriented Programming and Networked Computing).

      "And within - you know - ten minutes it was obvious to me that all computers would work like this some day. It was obvious. You could argue about how many years it would take. You could argue about who the winners or losers might be. You couldn't argue about the inevitability, it was obvious."

      This reminds me of the moment Roam first clicked for me.

    1. 185 people across 16 countries were killed defending their land, forests and rivers against destructive industries in 2015 alone, many of them from indigenous communities.

      This reminds me of the term "sacrifice zones" that we've been reading about.

    1. "Nauru...was developed to disappear...controlled its fate as a disposable country." This quote reminds me of a movie where a couple had a second child in order to help their first child with her cancer battle by having the healthy child provide organs and such. The movie is not environment related but the concept is similar and compares when the text previously mentioned the plan for the country, which was "...mining phosphate until the island was an empty shell."

    1. some people do absorb knowledge from books. Indeed, those are the people who really do think about what they’re reading. The process is often invisible. These readers’ inner monologues have sounds like: “This idea reminds me of…,” “This point conflicts with…,” “I don’t really understand how…,” etc. If they take some notes, they’re not simply transcribing the author’s words: they’re summarizing, synthesizing, analyzing.

      Exactly. So the first job is to explain this on day one and show students how to do it.

    1. The confusion that ensued was due to the murky legal status that had been burdening tribes since the Marshall Trilogy. A mere decade after being catapulted into becoming U.S. citizens, these same Indians were now being challenged to conceive of something that had never existed before, namely a constitution-based tribal government.

      This must have been so confusing. It reminds me of how some states don't send out explanations for the measures and people on ballots when voting. I didn't know California was one of the few states who did this until recently. Talk about voter suppression.

    2. Nearly two centuries later, when the United States determined that it needed to build a dam in Seneca territory it did not wait for the Seneca to choose to sell— it forced them.

      This reminds me of the current issue with the keystone oil pipe going through native land.

    1. What I know for sure is that young people are affected by the social and political issues in their communities, locally and globally, and that they have opinions, questions, and concerns.

      Once again, this reminds me of Dutro's emphasis on the importance of a teacher having a critical understanding of how these issues affect the lives of our students in ways they may or may not affect our own. Young people are affected by these issues, and we need to create opportunities to be critical of these issues in literacy.

    2. was characterized by some of his teachers as a disengaged learner and a “struggling” writer, created and maintained three websites and blogs each day. From his bedroom to his neighborhood streets, he wrote and composed music lyrics, uploaded audio files, and directed music videos

      Wow this reminds me of one my students who has an IEP but raps outside of school. I wouldn't say he is disengaged but what are we doing as teachers to make them engaged in instruction.

      What is consider a disengaged learner.

    1. I increased my capacity to engage them.

      This is a really powerful sentence. There are so many ways we can increase our capacities to better engage students; if students are not engaged, then there is a high chance it is something the teacher needs to change or adjust. This reminds me of the Vulnerable Heart of Literacy and how Dutro asks educators to increase our capacity to be vulnerable and bare critical witness and testimony in the classroom in order to use student testimony as an entry point and tool for literacy. This is a way we can work on ourselves as educators.

    2. “sancocho of English and Spanish,” the poet Denice Frohman says,

      This poem reminds me of the book "The Pushout: The Civilization of Black Girls in School" where cultural differences add to ignorance. In the book, some girls were described as rude or loud, but they grew up learning from their parents to ask questions if they were confused and to stand up for themselves.

    3. when they saw how their lives and stories intersected with the struggles of other people, they became more adept at making connections across cultures, races, and time periods.

      One of the most profound aspects of literature is its ability to inspire empathy for others' experiences. Reminds me of Steven Pinker's assertion that the popularization of the novel led to a significant decrease in social acceptance of cruelty and violence because novels offer us the opportunity to empathize with others.

    4. Dirk and his classmates didn’t care just about themselves, their neighborhood, and their city, they cared about other people’s lives too.

      This reminds me of the "mirror-window" element that multicultural literature may bring into the classroom. Students are given the opportunity to see themselves represented in a text while learning about the lives of others. This would allow students to identify the intersections between their lives and stories to those of others, as this reading mentions.

    1. A country’s population and immigration patterns do influence the rate of environmental degradation, but they have much less impact than do consumption patterns of wealthier segments of the population and especially the production practices of industries.

      reminds me of the vegan debate; or of the carbon footprint idea

    1. A second distinc-tion is the use of tentative generalization; results are sharedwithout the expectation that universality will hold

      This reminds me of Action-Research projects. The DBR project may only apply to oneself after completion.

    1. propagate interesting news articles to their peers.

      This reminds me of the article where it talked about how some people only get their information from other people.

    2. It may increase intolerance of dissentand foster more ideological segregation of political and so-cial issues

      This reminds me of the article we read about how it could be the reader that's bias.

    3. a number of studies have confirmed that leftand right leaning news media consistently refer to differ-ent think-tanks in their stories

      This reminds me of the articles we read when it said that the news was so divided that they were creating 2 different realities. (This can be used in my literature review)

    1. COVID-19 offers us a moment in time to pay attention to these inequities. Pockets of COVID-19 transmission in any community keep the risk of an enduring epidemic alive for every community.

      reminds me of the influeza and how it survived and dominated due to a steady human fuel at camps and war but here is due to poor communities in which we find people with an already poor health and a overpopulated community who does not have the resources and economic benefit to receive proper treatment.

    2. Disinvestment in these communities has created spaces and places where everyone’s life does not count equally, where it is allowable for some people to not have access to the resources to live healthy lives.

      reminds me of the article we read on gentrification and racial injustice on the benefit of science

    1. So, if people mistakenly take causal determinism tomean that everything that happens is inevitable no matter whatyou think or try to do, then they conclude that we have no free will

      reminds me of destiny that everyone is predestined in there lives.

    2. the thesisthat all events are part of a law-like chain of events such that earlierevents necessitate later events

    1. Indeed, the interests of the oppressors lie in "changing the con-sciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them";1

      I love this quote and the rest of this paragraph. It reminds me of Price's point that the situation is responsible for students' barriers, not students' internal personalities or characters.

    2. The truth is, however, that the oppressed are not "marginals," are not people living "outside" society. They have always been "inside"—inside the structure which made them "beings for others." The solution is not to "integrate" them into the structure of oppres-sion, but to transform that structure so that they can become "beings for themselves."

      This reminds me of code-meshing and Young's celebration of it. The language of the oppressed is not "marginal" to society, it is always "inside" society and the point is to change society so that stigmatized language varieties can be become "languages for themselves" and not "languages for others." When something is for others, it has no strength or meaning or freedom to define itself, its own worth, value, meanings, uses, ideas. It is always for someone else, from someone else's point of view. Freire is saying that we need to stop thinking of the oppressed only through the lens of the oppressor.

    1. If you read material from the Family Research Council, it is clear that the group regards homosexuals as similar contaminants. A recent posting on its Web site about syphilis among gay men was headlined, ''Unclean.'

      The terms describe here are all used as degrading terms people use to classify a group that they hate. It sort of reminds me of the rhetoric that America has been listening to in the last four years. That in a way slowly was normalized.

    2. He reminds me of conservative friends who oppose almost every measure for homosexual equality yet genuinely delight in the company of their gay friends. It would be easier for me to think of them as haters, and on paper, perhaps, there is a good case that they are. But in real life, I know they are not. Some of them clearly harbor no real malice toward me or other homosexuals whatsoever.

      Once again, just because someone has gay friends or family, doesn't make them a fan of equality. Just like just because someone has black friends, it doesn't make them not racist.

    3. ''Hate arrived in the neighborhoods of Indiana University, in Bloomington, in the early-morning darkness.''

      This reminds me of a Ted Bundy new article that worded things similarly.

    1. She ended the essay with a critique of the white visitors who passed through the school, satisfied that they had done their part to educate those children of so-called “savage” warriors. 

      This reminds me of the images of children being put into cages along the Southern border of the United States during this current administration. Some people, not all, take satisfaction in the fact that children were taken away from their families and being treated like animals/criminals.

    1. The proper role of the entity is, in this density, to experience all things desired, to then analyze, understand, and accept these experiences, distilling from them the love/light within them. Nothing shall be overcome. That which is not needed falls away.

      Reminds me of what Richard Rohr says about experiencing sin. Openly experiencing it and realizing that it doesn't satisfy.

    1. That is, most people judge that you can have free will and be responsible for your actions even if all of your decisions and actions are entirely caused by earlier events in accord with natural laws

      This reminds me of the movie Minority Report. All of the past events in the movie led to an event occurring in the future, and each individual had a choice to how they would act in the present. This represented our access to free will, and our ability to make choices to shape our future.

    1. A standard example of a non-personalized nudge involves retirement planning. An employer could (i) leave it to employees to set-up their 401K plans and decide how much to save or (ii) set up the plans by default so that a predetermined amount is saved automatically and allow employees to make adjustments. Saving by default is an architected choice that relies on two facts: first, people often fail to set up a retirement plan, which is a social problem, and second, people tend to stick with default rules. Thus, by choosing option (ii), the choice architect nudges people to start with the better position for them and society.

      The non-personalized nudge

      An employer can choose to let their employee set up their own pensions plan or set them up with a default plan and allow them to change. The second scenario is an "architected choice" that relies on two phenomena:

      1. The fact people often fail to set up a retirement plan
      2. The tendency of people to stick with default rules

      The default plan is a non-personalized nudge which (supposedly) benefits the people as well as society.

      This reminds me of Michael Malice's idea of "the people that need leaders are not able to pick good ones".

    2. For both the tailor-customer and doctor-patient examples, personal data is an input used to improve an output (dress, suit, medical treatment) such that the improvement directly serves the interests of the person whose information is being used.

      This reminds me of "Products are functions" where your personal data is a variable than enters into the function to determine the output.

    1. THE BISHOP (going slowly to the mirror. He stands in front ofit): Now answer, mirror, answer me. Do I come here to discover evil and innocence? (To Irma, very gently) Leave the room! I want to be by myself.

      In this moment where the Bishop looks in the mirror for the first time, he is in this state of undress, part the "role" of a Bishop, and part the "role" of his true sinful self. In saying to Irma that he wants to be by himself, he is meaning with the physical reflection of himself. He also directly asks the mirror question, but is quite literally asking this reflected version of himself. He is essentially having this identity crises of who he is and how the world sees him. When he says, "And in your gilt-edged glass, what was I? Never - I affirm it before God Who sees me - I never desired the episcopal throne," this conversation between him and his reflection reminds me of a post-death judgement of God. Moreover, that his reflection is a bit of a omnipotent version of himself who knows all of his desires and intentions, even those not truly known to himself. In this moment in the brothel, staring at his reflection, he is laid bare (both inside and out).

    1. AN UNWELCOME VISITOR IN CRUCES—THE CHOLERA—SUCCESS OF THE YELLOW DOCTRESS—FEARFUL SCENE AT THE MULE-OWNER’S—THE BURYING PARTIES—THE CHOLERA ATTACKS ME.

      Kind of reminds me of epigraphs in Middlemarch

    1. Love, therefore, and tongue-tied simplicityIn least speak most, to my capacity.

      This line stood out to me because Theseus addresses something that most characters in tragedies are oblivious to: people don't always say what they are trying to express or how they feel. This reminds me of Lear's apology or lack thereof, similarly to the greeting that Theseus received, Lear never explicitly apologizes to Cordelia, but reading between the lines, Cordelia can understand his intentions. Lear fails to do this in the earlier scene of the play when each daughter confesses how much they care about their father. Cordelia cannot put into words her love for her father, but Lear fails to recognize this underlying meaning in her statement toward him.

    1. Studieshave shown that many students can do mathematics (i.e., they can apply formulasto get numerical answers) but may not understand the concepts behind the proce-dures they learn to apply.

      Reminds me of the chinese room problem.

    2. This results of research portray a complex developmental landscape, with muchintertwining, which contrasts sharply with approaches to development that tend toisolate and highlight only individual developmental changes.

      This reminds me of a discussion in another class about complex dynamic systems.

    1. And because they were all laughing it seemed to Leila that they were all lovely

      It's quite interesting how Mansfield subtly shows her heroin character's innocence through this kind of scene—mostly oblivious to what is going on in a grander context. On the same note, it seems that it's Mansfield's way of foreshadowing a kind of distress of what is to come in the later texts, which also reminds me of The Garden Party.

    1. political candidates

      This reminds me of a time in high school when my history teacher showed us a political ad campaign against a candidate and if you slow it down, the way the words come up on the screen it says, "rats" so that you associate that candidate as a rat.

    1. The “Cherokee codes” were designed as the fi rst strike in an ethnic- cleansing campaign

      reminds me of the Black Codes African Americans had to endure

    1. When a piece of fabric is cut on the bias and sewn from the bias it has a tendency to create interesting drapes and to enhance the style of a garment. It is just so with human biases. Within an incarnated human’s life there will be a continuing and continuous experience of seeing things from a particular bias or slant, and then being able to choose to rethink and re-vision and see things from the opposite bias.

      This reminds me of the Train up a child verse. That part that says, "in the way he should go" is the Hebrew concept of taste or bent or what this model is calling BIAS. Which sounds even more solid, "Train up a child according to his/her bias and when they are old they won't depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6)

    1. I am surrounded by mountains of ice, which admit of no escape and threaten every moment to crush my vessel. The brave fellows whom I have persuaded to be my companions look towards me for aid; but I have none to bestow. There is something terribly appalling in our situation, yet my courage and hopes do not desert me. We may survive; and if we do not, I will repeat the lessons of my Seneca, and die with a good heart. Yet what, Margaret, will be the state of your mind? You will not hear of my destruction, and you will anxiously await my return. Years will pass, and you will have visitings of despair, and yet be tortured by hope. Oh! my beloved sister, the sickening failings of your heart-felt expectations are, in prospect, more terrible to me than my own death. But you have a husband, and lovely children; you may be happy: Heaven bless you, and make you so! My unfortunate guest regards me with the tenderest compassion. He endeavours to fill me with hope; and talks as if life were a possession which he valued. He reminds me how often the same accidents have happened to other navigators, who have attempted this sea, and, in spite of myself, he fills me with cheerful auguries. Even the sailors feel the power of his eloquence: when he speaks, they no longer despair; he rouses their energies, and, while they hear his voice, they believe these vast mountains of ice are mole-hills, which will vanish before the resolutions of man. These feelings are transitory; each day's expectation delayed fills them with fear, and I almost dread a mutiny caused by this despair.

      Frankenstein sympathizing with Walton is similar to Frankenstein's professor egging him on with his pursuit for knowledge, there seems to be another parallel.

  8. Oct 2020
    1. Du Bois also underscored that to be part of a problem people is to be viewed as part of an undifferentiated blob, a monolithic block. Problem people become indistinguishable and interchangeable, which means that only one ofthem has to be asked to find out what all the rest of them think.

      This reminds me of Donald Trump asking black reporter April Ryan to set up a meeting for him with black lawmakers. As if all Blacks know one another.

    1. To whom you are but as a form in waxBy him imprinted and within his powerTo leave the figure or disfigure it.Demetrius is a worthy gentleman.

      This "form in wax" idea reminds me of John Locke theory about people being born a blank slate. While Locke was after both Shakespeare and midsummer's time, I think the concept is similarly implied in this sentence. The quote before stating "your father should be as a god" gives this man vs. woman power binary, putting men at a significantly higher, even godly level. In context of the story, it seems Theseus is implying that Hermia's father made her who she is, and that he can also "leave the figure or disfigure it," giving power to Egeus, even when Hermia is no longer a child. I think these words in the moment are very misogynistic, but contrast well with her later character development, emphasizing how strongly independent she is, overcoming her wax fate.

    2. A lovely boy, stolen from an Indian king;She never had so sweet a changeling;And jealous Oberon would have the child

      This just gives me a weird feeling. Reminds me of like super religious people adopting children from other countries just to fulfill their white savior complex.

    1. when they do not pay careful attention to their ownand others’ racialized and cultural systems of coming to know, know-ing, and experiencing the world.

      Reminds me of Haraway's writings about embodied and situated knowledge.

    1. Students who are disproportionately targeted with assignment to special education, harsh applications of dis-cipline policy, unengaging pedagogy, and the sorts of “school reform” initiatives that redistribute access up the privilege continuum don’t need consensus. They need justice.

      This reminds me of the Abolitionist video, where they discuss that the structure of schools must be taken down and reformed. My group came up with an analogy on the topic which I think speaks volumes, as one of us said that when you pick a weed, you can't just grab it from the top. Nothing will change, it will just grow larger over time, but one must pick a weed from the roots, because from there, the weed will disappear, and that makes room for something else to grow in its place.

    1. From the era of American slavery and through more modern times, black people have been degraded, experimented on, and exploited by white Americans to achieve societal goals

      This reminds me of J. Marion Sims. He performed gynecology practices on his slaves and other's slaves without anesthesia and people defend him because he was a man of his time and slaves were lucky to get any healthcare.

    1. Thus, for Freire literacy was not a means to prepare students for the world of subordinated labor or ‘careers’, but a preparation for a self-managed life. And self-management could only occur when people have fulfilled three goals of education: self-reflection, that is, realizing the famous poetic phrase, ‘know thyself’, which is an understanding of the world in which they live, in its economic, political and, equally important, its psychological dimensions. Specifically ‘critical’ pedagogy helps the learner become aware of the forces that have hitherto ruled their lives and especially shaped their consciousness. The third goal is to help set the conditions for producing a new life, a new set of arrangements where power has been, at least in tendency, transferred to those who literally make the social world by transforming nature and themselves. (

      This understanding reminds me a lot of Gholdy Muhammed's methodologies in the "Abolitionist Pedagogies" video. She outlined 4 learning goals in the video, and in her book "Cultivating Genius", that are reminiscent of these ones.

    1. Together, this emerging body of research suggests that exposure to EDCs could have consequences not only for our own health and for that of our children, but also for the health of generations to come.

      To me, this is the scariest part of this whole thing. We always seem to try to fix/manage things after they have already happened and very rarely do this preventatively. Like to me it is obvious that chemicals are going to be bad for organisms...probably because I have been taught that my entire life. But how did it take this long to figure out we shouldn't be just throwing chemicals in places?

      My mom always says "Ask for permission not forgiveness"...and this reminds me of that

      How are we going to manage these issues if they are passed down to future generations? That makes it way more complicated...

    1. A decline in salmon runs due to pollution, sportfishing, and massive fisheries led state authorities to enact conservation measures, restricting fishing in certain areas or during certain times of year.

      It reminds me of the buffalo decline over the 19th century. They were almost hunted to extinction as colonials shot them from trains for sport.

    2. Stremlau writes about how elderly women were extremely important to Cherokee families, but often treated as marginal by commissioners

      Many Natives treated women as equals. This reminds me of one of the previous readings in which it talked about how some women were not hesitant to voice their opinions when it came to the decision of giving up their lands.

    1. Except once in a while Bobby said how much he'd loved Nancy, and how he could never care about another girl.

      This sentence reminds me of the "what-ifs" mentioned by Professor Gardner in lecture. Even though Bobby is saying that he will never love another girl again, he and Nancy had serious barriers to their relationship that Herb, Nancy, and almost all of Holcomb recognized. It's interesting to wonder if they would've overcome the societal challenge of religion if the murders never happened. Capote is almost leading us straight to that with this sentence. Additionally, I think it's worthwhile to note that Bobby and Nancy didn't have to break this expectation because they never got the opportunity. On a societal level, everything in terms of this issue of religion remained in place and unquestioned. While the Clutter family is gone and Holcomb is forever changed, it is also characteristically unaltered in this respect.

    1. for all student participants. This eliminated any financial barriers for any student to participate in the program.

      I love this!! Reminds me of my former job working with students at Upward Bound MSU. Our program targeted future first generation college students and those who qualified for free/reduced lunch. They were able to have many wonderful opportunities (field trips across campus and across the United States) for free the program. It was awesome.

    1. here was alcohol involved so we don’t really know what he meant to do,

      The "there was alcohol involved" argument reminds me of a Supreme Court Senate confirmation hearing from 2018. Sarah Deer makes a great point that that argument is ridiculous and should never be allowed in the first place.

    1. That has been the perennial state and condition of not simply black people in America, but all self-conscious human beings who are sensitive to the forms of evil around them. We can be prisoners of hope even as we call optimism into question.

      This is really powerful to me. I often feel myself clinging to hope while having a negative outlook on the things happening in the world around me. This puts into words some of the mixed feelings I have experienced when hoping for a better world. It reminds me of the saying: "hope for the best, expect for the worst."

    1. They turn the writer back into his writing and lead him to reflect on his choices and aims

      This reminds me of a comment made in the previous piece we read, about the rules of writing. The most effective writers regularly took opportunities to test their writing by getting reactions from readers and then improving their writing incrementally. I think this ties into this piece as well; the point of peer reviewing is not to "grade like the teacher," but to provide an honest reaction to the piece you're reading, engage with it, and provide commentary that helps the writer grow.

    2. Even when you're tough and demanding you can still be supportive.

      This statement really reminds me of parenting. Parents have to push their kids in order to get them to do better. But, this can't be done if they are always getting praised. If you just got praised your whole life, you would never be prepared for the real world.

    1. Our use of the term “interest,” then, is not meant to signal an individual or innate quality; we see interests as cultivated through social and cultural relationships and located within what we call an “affinity network” of commonly felt identity, practice, and purpose. We draw from Jim Gee's (2005Gee, J. P. (2005). Semiotic social spaces and affinity spaces: From the age of mythology to today's schools. In D. Barton & K. Tusting (Eds.), Beyond communities of practice: Language, power and social context (pp. 214–232). Cambridge, UK: Cambridge U. Press. [Crossref], [Google Scholar]) term “affinity spaces,” which he uses to describe online places where people interact around a common passion and/or set of commitments, but broaden our focus to civic and political action and wider networks

      Here's the recurring use of "affinity groups," but thinking about it not as an individual quality reminds me of another article that we read in INTE 2500 that no matter what we think, it belongs, in theory, to at least one affinity group

    1.    I see that the most interesting idea in this chapter is the part that relates to “language and thought.” As Culler says that there is a theory that says “language expresses the existing ideas by providing methods for this.” So language and thought interact in many significant ways, thought comes first, while language is an expression of what we think. Also each specific language has its own influence on the thought and action of its speakers. Likewise, according to Culler, Expressing ideas that we think are easy and natural in our language may require a great effort from us to express them in another language. This brings us to an important point, anyone who has learned more than one language is struck by the many ways in which languages differ from one to another. I think that this part reminds me of myself when I started learning languages other than Arabic. Sometimes it was very difficult for me to express what I was thinking in English, I felt like my thoughts were frozen, and other times I couldn’t express them at all. Therefore, Culler mentions that literary works often try to reconfigure ideas in order to be able to express things that we did not expect to think of before. The relationship between language and thinking is often a strong one, but literature generates other ideas so we can see a different reality.

      Very insightful

    1. Papillon: It's a great nuisance that Mr. Boeuf can't come. But that's no reason for you to go to pieces. Mrs. Boeuf: [with difficulty] It's not...it's...well I was chased here all the way from the house by a rhinoceros...<

      The first rhino occurrence of Act 2 follows Botard's mind-bending and condescending denial of their existence. The first person to encounter the rhino is Mrs. Boeuf, who was chased from her home to the office off-stage. Though she is evidently frazzled by the experience, she comes into work first explaining her husband's sick leave rather than opening with the information most people would, which is of course the rhino she barely escaped from and is currently outside the office endangering everyone. If Mrs. Boeuf's response wasn't absurd enough, Berenger's first question is about the number of horns. Botard still doubts the rhinos' existence. At this point, the audience still may doubt their existence too since all they have as evidence are inauthentic seeming reactions and off-stage noises that corresponded with Jean's breaks in character, and though Botard's logic is ridiculous, it is enough for the audience to hold out on wholly believing. However, after Botard expresses his doubt, a sound is heard and the staircase seems to collapse, then "an anguished trumpeting" is heard from below. Daisy exclaims "My God!" and Mrs. Boeuf "Oh! Ah!," a throw back to the previous act. In classic Berenger fashion, he remains relatively calm and makes Mrs. Boeuf a drink and tells her to keep calm. Botard continues to brush off the sounds as an illusion until finally, he looks and sees it for himself. Between the multiple accounts of its existence, the sounds of it and its destruction, and the conversion of the skeptic into a believer, the audience is more inclined to believe that the rhinos are in fact real, in spite of the puzzling reactions both before and after this point. Additionally, the directionality of the sound (ex. the sound of the staircase collapsing on stage left where the staircase is visually, or the sound of the rhino bellowing from below) may help immerse the audience further. If, according to Camus, a man can only define another being practically by "the sum of their consequences" or by "outlining their universe," the audience perceives the existence of the rhinos similarly. By denying the audience visual confirmation and only providing sounds and the consequences of the Rhinos actions, Ionesco prevents the audience from developing a false sense of knowing the rhinos that goes beyond the outline of their universe. Thus, I do believe this feeling is an absurd one. Additionally, the townspeople's conversations contribute more to this absurd feeling. Most notably, I think of Botard's attempts to use logic and reasoning to deny the existence of the rhino only to sound highly irrational, contradictory, and condescending and Berenger's continued questioning of the race and number of horns of the rhinos. This reminds me of when Camus wrote "what is absurd is the confrontation of this irrational and the wild longing for clarity whose call echoes in human heart." Both Botard and Berenger's attempted use of thought and logic about the rhinos brings them farther away from any sense of clarity or course of action. E

    1. treaties as being supreme over state law

      Wow! This reminds me a lot of court cases in which court cases overrule years' worth of limitation on certain peoples.

    1. tested

      always reminds me of the 'tester' character in Job and how God allows and even sometimes endorses the testing. For what purpose and to what end?

    1. We recognize that all the languages that are already co-existent in the mind and in the activity of the child have the power to be generative of other languages, other actions and other potentials that are in turn generative.

      This reminds me of "there is no teaching without learning." The generative nature of the languages seems very related to this.

    2. who said that it was necessary to become familiar first by using directly what you know and what you have learned in order to acquire further learning and knowledge.

      This reminds me of what free play can do for children, especially if teachers wait to step in and allow children time and space to explore

    1. “practical advantages” of ignoring the written law.

      This reminds me of the Andrew Jackson quote where he conveyed that Marshall's decisions did not matter because he could not enforce them. It seems like there are often laws in place that are just ignored for the sake of the state or settlers.

    2. The Creek Nation has joined Mr. McGirt as amicus curiae. Not because the Tribe is interested in shielding Mr. McGirt from responsibility for his crimes. Instead, the Creek Nation participates because Mr. McGirt’s personal interests wind up implicating the Tribe’s. No one disputes that Mr. McGirt’s crimes were committed on lands described as the Creek Reservation in an 1866 treaty and federal statute. But, in seeking to defend the state-court judgment below, Oklahoma has put aside whatever procedural defenses it might have and asked us to confirm that the land once given to the Creeks is no longer a reservation today. At another level, then, Mr. McGirt’s case winds up as a contest between State and Tribe.

      I find it interesting that McGirt was kind of used by the Creek Nation as a sort of vehicle for them to argue. The article is saying while it's not about arguing whether or not he is guilty, but who has the means to actually punish him, and what's happening is who has the authority, the State or Tribe. This reminds me of the Supreme Court Case Brown v Board, where both cases have the potential to be landmark essentially.

    1. From reading over the notes for each session it was apparent that there had been improvement by more or less regular steps from almost complete terror at sight of the rabbit to a completely positive response with no signs of disturbance. New situations requiring closer contact with the rabbit had been gradually introduced and the degree to which these situations were avoided, tolerated, or welcomed, at each experimental session, gave the measure of improvement. Analysis of the notes on Peter's reactions indicated the following progressive steps in his degrees of toleration:

      This reminds me of systematic desensitization, wherein, an individual is presented with and exposed to different levels of anxiety-/fear-eliciting stimuli, all while being taught relaxation techniques. The procedures and steps taken to get Peter to accept the rabbit is through gradual exposure. This definitely contributed to the literature of clinical psychology in the treatment of phobias.

    2. Barbara was brought to the crib and the white rat introduced as before. She exhibited no fear but picked the rat up in her hand. Peter sat quietly watching Barbara and the rat.

      This reminds me of Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory, he is watching another person interact with the object that terrifies him, and yet the other person does not seem to share the same fear response as him. He watched Barbara pick up the rat, which conveys the message that others don't fear it, and it does not seem to do any harm. Although the observation of this, I do not believe, would be enough to provide change in his conditioned response, as it had most likely been with him for a while. One thing I am wondering based on this certain situation is if he felt less afraid due to the distance between him and the rat or because another person is holding the rat, which in turn might provide a sense of security that the threat has been detained.

    3. The next two decided rises at (d) and (e) occurred on the day when a student assistant, Dr. S., was present. Peter was very fond of Dr. S. whom he insisted was his "papa." Although Dr. S. did not directly influence Peter by any overt suggestions, it may be that having him there contributed to Peter's general feeling of well being and thus indirectly affected his reactions.

      I wonder why Peter was very fond of Dr. S? What did Dr. S do in order for Peter to be very fond of him, did he resemble his father? The suggestion that Dr. S's presence in the room alone contributed to Peter's well-being reminds me of Applied Behavior Analysis. ABA operates off the principles of operant conditioning which is usually taught along with classical conditioning in today's intro to psychology courses. Anyways, when ABA is used to help children who have autism in learning adaptive behavior, a good relationship between the provider and the child must be established before direct intervention can take place. The child and the provider gain their relationship through unstructured and eventually structured play. The child then associates the provider with good things and in turn allows for easier reception of a given intervention. If Dr. S did something similar with Peter, then it provides some early evidence of reinforcement pairing (i.e., when the provider themselves have become a reinforcing factor for the child).

    1. Specifically, they believe that it provides scientific evidence for the existence of God

    1. physiology, heredity and environment

      This reminds me of in Psychology we talk about the nature vs nurture debate. I think that genetics does play a big part in shaping us, but having the right environment plays a part as well.

    2. usually by replacing a damaged com-ponent, either in hardware or software.

      I think that Dawkin's comparison of criminals to broken machines is not a good analogy. It reminds me of the genetic engineering thought probe which talks about using technology to alter genetic makeup.(196 Doing Philosophy) I think that the machine analogy fits well with causal determinisim which states that every event is the consequence of past event plus laws of nature, However modern science does not support this view.

    1. This is important because interpretation is subjective. We have to be aware of such subjectivity. Is the interpretation mine or that of the group I am observing?

      Reminds me of so-called 'strong objectivity,' amplifying researcher bias since anyway it's irremovable.

    1. 1) children’s hypotheses on the idea of a guide“Last year, we talked a lot about the city and cities. We also drew them and built them. This year, we would like to make a ‘guide’ of the city of Reggio. Do you know what a guide is? Have you ever seen them?”2) children’s hypotheses on the visitor’s possiblemotivation for coming to Reggio“Many people come to visit Reggio, our city. In your opinion, why do they choose to come to Reggio?”3) children’s views and suggestions about inhabiting the city“Where would you start? What would you say to introduce our city to all those people who come and who have never been here before?”“What kind of things can be done in Reggio that, in your opinion, could be interesting for these people?”“What kind of suggestions would you give them in terms of things to see, to do and why?”

      This whole section reminds me of a project students did at our school (12 year olds). The questions were so focused and produced a specific type of product. The questions in this article could have blown the project wide open and engaged the students so much more authentically. This shows how the principles of Reggio Emilia can certainly be applied working with older students as well. The open questions invite the students to engage fully.

    1. Do I have any personal biases that may affect my consideration of this information?

      all these questions reminds me of the TED talks and advice from others when considering an option or decision.

    1. He suggested that teachers teach a large number of words before reading a book to students, by merely giving short definitions, such as synonyms, and then pointing out the words and their meaning while reading the book to students.

      i can see this working out pretty well. this reminds me of an english teacher who did this and every time we were assigned to read a book and encountered unknown words i knew what the meaning was before hands.

    1. A few years later, however, Kenneth Clarkreported having learned from his young associates that “Negroyouth in Harlem did not have the opportunity to learn how tomanage even a small business or store since, unlike other lower-middle-class groups in the city, their parents did not own stores.”

      It's interesting to think of other lower/middle class groups that provide entre to businesses and apprenticeships. It also reminds me of the current practice of privileged youth accessing internships/opportunities through family connections creating a pathway to professional careers and higher earning.

    1. when you got hurt or got beat up or something, and you started crying, nobody comforted you. You just sat in the corner and cried and cried till you got tired of cry-ing then you got up and carried on with life.”36 Nick Sibbeston, who was placed in the Fort Providence school in the Northwest Territories at the age of five, recalled it as a place where children hid their emotions. “In residential school you quickly learn that you should not cry. If you cry you’re teased, you’re shamed out, you’re even punished.”3

      So much about residential schools reminds me of what happened and is continuing to happen in North Korea . Both peoples are stripped of their identities, separated from family, deprived of individual identities, vilified in public, pitted against one another. It's disgusting to see how one group of people will demoralize, dehumanize and disenfranchise another group.

    1. . If you are a non-Native, or an Indian hailing from elsewhere, you fall under the jurisdiction of the state of Minnesota, in keeping with Public Law 280

      This reminds me of how federal jurisdiction overrules tribal ordinances.

    1. transport the school,

      This reminds me of the work I am doing now. We are using a public park as our classroom and have had many community members stop and ask us about it or express their gratitude for us being in the community.

    1. ‘Father Zeus, does it not stir your indignation to see all this violence?

      Ares??? Condemning violence??? I thought I'd never see it. Seriously though, this seems contradictory since everything we've seen from Ares so far has been very 'bloodthirsty'. I guess he only likes violence when it is thrust upon others/mortals, and not when it's upon himself. Seems ironic though, since he's the god of war. It reminds me of how kings in the past would fight alongside their armies in battle. Ares seems like the king who would choose to opt out.

    1. just hadn’t figured it out yet,

      That's totally fine, and this also reminds me of the visualization article we read this week. Perhaps in the process of creating different types of visual displays, you will gradually build up a clearer image of what you want to investigate.
