    1. Although the frameworks used in these courses do not claim that people in dominant groups are “bad,” many of us hear it that way because our current sense-making framework says that participation in inequality is something that only bad people do.

      this reminds me of the "all lives matter" people. they feel attacked because people of color are asking for rights but they see it as anti white. ironically its a very obviously anti black lives matter because they don't say anything in regards to dehumanization of immigrants or other groups. they only feel personally attacked.

    2. that all we need to overcome injustice is to be nice and treat everyone the same.

      This reminds me of people speaking against protests and calling them "riots". They say that protestors shouldn't be using violence or destruction (even though the majority of the protests have been peaceful) without considering that there has never been a time in American history where poc get rights just because they want to "be nice and treat everyone the same"

    3. fields (including social justice, critical pedagogy, multicultural education, antiracist, postcolonial, and feminist approaches) that operate from the perspective that knowledge is socially con-structed and that education is a political project embedded within a network of social institutions that reproduce inequality.

      this reminds me of Freire when he discussed that education in itself is political. To use critical thinking is to think for yourself and that allows you to challenge systems and form your own beliefs.

    4. mainstream narratives reinforce the idea that society overall is fair, and that all we need to overcome injustice is to be nice and treat everyone the same

      This reminds me of the medias over fixation on "perseverance porn." Stories that, rather than criticize the system in which we live in, would tell us to "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps." However our late-stage capitalism society would rather make a mockery out of those that could barely manage to survive. But all the media wants is clicks, and which overly-hopeful American wants to read a story that our society is terrible?

    5. but is deeply structured into society in ways that secure its reproduction.

      Reminds me of how lobbying is in the pockets of both major political parties so having actual change within our system is difficult.

    6. While she will face many class barriers, she will not face racism.

      reminds me of In the women's rights movement when women marched for all women's rights, but the African American women had to march behind the white women. intersectionality is a an open frame.

    7. network of social institutions that reproduce inequality

      Reminds me of an article I read by Jean Anyon called "From Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work" which touches on curriculum differences in schools based on economic status.

    8. reproduce inequality

      this reminds me of the reading we did from freire. it takes a similar stance in the reproduction of inequality that freire did because it has the same connotation that the ones doing the teaching are the ones higher up.

    9. If you are reading this book, you are likely enrolled in a course that takes a critical stance.

      In order to be reading this, someone must have already strayed from the normal path and thought for themselves. This reminds me somewhat of the "if you think then you are" idea.

    1. a gentle acclivity topped with a stockade of vertical tree trunks, loop-holed for rifles, with a single embrasure through which pro-truded the muzzle of a brass cannon commanding the bridge.

      Wow. Now that's a description! Bierce reminds me a little of the Romantic era with this descriptive imagery. I wonder, who inspired or influenced Bierce's writing?

    1. pporters of Pontiac’s armed resistance found powerful, spiritual support for their movement through Neolin’s proclamation that the creator favored Natives and regarded white settlers as intruders. [4]

      This reminds me so much of the same ideas the Americans did to convice their people that God were on their side. There is a famous painting were the Americans are being led by a angel to the new land. The Native use the same aspects of religion to change the argument that god gave them this land.

    2. Map of the Indian and Oklahoma Territories, 1892

      This reminds me of the new Supreme Court ruling that half of the land in the state borders of Oklahoma are within a Native reservation. I hope this is something we can discuss in the future for this course.

    3. Ye have only to become good again and do what I wish, and I will send back the animals for your food.”

      This reminds me of many stories in the Bible where a prophet would tell the people that they had to rid themselves of the evil teachings of other nations and that once they did so, would be rewarded with some sort of return to prosperity.

    4. group of men and women prophets

      It reminds me of the Ghost Dance movement. Unity through spirituality and using it as means of collective entity.

    1. interconnections

      Reminds me of the food chain nets I made in fourth grade. Every time a string of the net was cut, part of the food chain fell apart.

    2. connected

      Reminds me of the nature journal video, reading about the cycle and how it indirectly affects my lifestyle makes me more aware of how much I depend on these cycles.

    3. Every living thing is dependent on many others, either indirectly through the physical and chemical features of the environ-ment or directly for food or a sheltering place.

      Reminds me of dogs and humans. Dogs provide companionship, humans provide shelter and food.(mutualistic relationship)

    4. catastrophe

      call to action - building up their evidence that will support their point

      • reminds me of Wall-e, humans used every resource and the earth became barren and inhabitable. Opening scene shows shots of abandoned machines and trash built up
    5. If we destroy it, our most advanced technology will become useless and any economic and po
      • I agree, people think too much of themselves and their abilities. Without the functions of the Earth. Life would not be sustainable. It makes me wonder if this huge ego will be broken, will society lose trust in authority? It reminds me of what was happening in the United States when millions of college and high school students went on strikes and marches in order to stop climate change from happening which have been experienced in the recent years through hurricanes, wildfires, etc.

    1. Not only must Black students read and write in a dierent dialectto perform well in class, they must do so to be accepted by white peers and authoritygures.

      What I just read reminds me of the the articles we read for our first essay because they talk about how they had to adapt to Standard American English.

    1. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; butwhen I became a man, I put away childish things.

      Reading this verse really reminds me of growing up and discovering what it is like to be an adult and have more responsibility.

    1. The chief characteristic distinguishing it from the old psychology is undoubtedly the rejection of a formal logic as its model and test. The old psychologists almost without exception held to a nominalistic logic. This of itself were a matter of no great importance, were it not for the inevitable tendency and attempt to make living concrete facts of experience square with the supposed norms of an abstract, lifeless thought, and to interpret them in accordance with its formal conceptions. This tendency has nowhere been stronger than in those who proclaimed that "experience" was the sole source of all knowledge. They emasculated experience till their logical conceptions could deal with it; they sheared it down till it would fit their logical boxes; they pruned it till it presented a trimmed tameness which would shock none of their laws; they preyed upon its vitality till it would go into the coffin of their abstractions. And neither so-called "school" was free from this tendency.

      This reminds me of the confirmation bias, which I am learning about in social psychology, which is the fact that we research things or only accept information that fits within our biases already. We only accept the information that we want to hear. Old psychologists were doing this and we have seen this, and now know that it is wrong and we can teach people today what it is and how to avoid it. Which is literally what I'm learning right now so I think that's pretty cool

    1. hailed through discursive formations

      love the use of the verb Hail - to welcome, support, approve - reminds me of Hail Hitler - doesn't mean its right but we are doing it

    1. Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come.

      I really like this because it reminds me of the account in Isaiah 6 when Isaiah has the vision of the temple, where the angels again proclaim "holy, holy, holy". This is an important parallel because both are considered books of prophecy by the authors and both are accurate accounts that line up to each other.

    2. And the one seated there looks like jasper and carnelian, and around the throne is a rainbow that looks like an emerald.

      This description of Jesus and the throne reminds me of the description of the Son of Man in Daniel.

    1. Be as well neighbour'd, pitied, and relieved,

      This reminds me of the passage in the bible that talks about the way you should behave to your `neighbor'.

    1. The women of the South can overthrow this horrible system of oppression and cruelty, licentiousness and wrong.

      This quote to me calls back to another period in American history. This reminds me of the Republican Motherhood movement from the period of early America where women were looked at as nurturers that would teach future generations the ideals of liberty1. Women are often looked at as gentle and domesticated but they used that to their advantage when it came to politics by applying gentle pressure and persuasion on the men in their lives. When women get together, they play a pivotal role in shaping history.

      The American Yawp, Chapter 7, Section 3.

    2. It’s a very interesting reading document. Angelina is a brilliant women went forward in a fight against slavery and women’s right in those dark ages that slavery is a norm and women didn’t have same right as men. It reminds me the story of Nat Turner, same lake Angelina, he Used religious prospect to fight against slavery and equal rights for all.

    1. changing slowly, and how people respond to the pace of change requires a particular skill set

      I find this very relevant with today. Not many people like change but we know we must go through change to have a better future. It reminds me of how far we've come with minority rights and how people want to take those rights away because they are scared of change and may believe it is wrong. Think of abortions. We've learned from history that making abortions illegal will not stop them. Women will continue to have abortions, they just won't be safe. In countries that have abortion legal and organizations like Planned Parenthood, the abortion rates are some of the lowest ones. So why do we want to go backwards, when it seems going forward is the better option? It's because that people are scared of change. So that is why I feel like this quote is relevant even in today and back then.

    1. Yet even th at lit-erature of vastness, examined closely, reflects feelings of entrap-ment, entrapment in infinitudes.

      This reminds me of several points from minor literature. South African literature has a great deal to do with power dynamics and the appearance of a false freedom. The part where the author said "it is exactly the kind of literature you would expect people to write from a prison" struck out to me because it describes the exact feeling of how smaller problems in major literature are the focal point of minor literature--this entrapment is people's lives.

    1. How awful is it to be left behind at such a day! To see so many others feasting, while you are pining and perishing! To see so many rejoicing and singing for joy of heart, while you have cause to mourn for sorrow of heart, and howl for vexation of spirit!

      Edwards is definitely appealing to fear in this part of his sermon. He is also creating pressure among those who are doubtful, by emphasizing that they must act quick or else they will perish in hell. In a way also being threatening. It personally reminds me of a salesperson convincing a consumer to act quick before the sale is over.

    1. “I do remember! I slept soundly.”

      This seems to suggest that Franklin stole the diamond under the influence of opium, which is also why he forgot that he ever stole it. This also reminds me of that scene with the three indians and the little boy during the First Period, although I am not sure if the two are connected. It also finally explains the role of opium in the plot. I am not sure how this drug works, but to my knowledge this is supposed to be a pain killer. Not sure how it would make someone 'do things' without recollection, which is the only thing that confuses me about all this. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to see what else happened during the period that Franklin cannot recall, as I am sure that it will be revealed at some point later on.

    1. Racial profiling is incompatible with the protection of human rights and may be found in practice among police, customs, immigration and national security agen-cies

      The description is visualize in my mind and reminds me of several news based of that.

    2. The present publication provides an overview of the types of racial profiling experienced by people of African descent,

      Reminds me of the topic and the central idea.

    1. The goal is that users will use their own social capital to reinforce and give credibility to that original message.

      Reminds me of the saying "there's no such thing as bad press." The truthfulness of a post doesn't matter. The more controversial, the better.

    1. What we refer to as a “perfect storm” in Brazil broke due to at least four simultaneous crises: an economic crisis caused by a prolonged re-cession, a political crisis of rising polarization and falling trust in estab-lished parties, a corruption crisis brought to the fore by the Lava Jato investigation, and the deterioration of an already dismal public-security environment. Taken together, these four crises led to a plunge not only in government legitimacy—with the Temer administration growing

      This sounds like and reminds me a lot of the sentiments regarding how donald trump rose to the presidency. Political instability leads to populist and or extremist movements.

    1. But I wake up before we do it

      This reminds me of waking up from a really good dream expecting that it is the same in reality and then realizing it was just a dream.

    1. It’s high time, then, to interrogate this modern notion of the individual as unencumbered and self-driven—largely removed from all attachments.

      This reminds me of my reflective essay...a huge factor in bringing back community is also bringing back empathy! If we cared about each other, it would be easy to be close and supportive in a community.

    1. Intellectual conflict is understood as the engine of all growth in Reggio. There-fore, teachers seek to bring out, rather than suppress, conflicts of viewpoints between children.

      This reminds me of the state of crisis described in last week's reading. Developing a comfort with discordance is continually emphasized as a foundation of growth.

    2. he metaphor of “catching the ball that the children throw us, and then tossing it back to continue the game” is a favorite one in Reggio Emilia. Think-ing of teacher–child interaction as a badminton game was originally suggested to Malaguzzi by the Gestalt psychologist Max Wertheimer.1 Malaguzzi talked about how, “for the game to continue, the skills of the adult and child need appropriate adjustments to allow the growth through learning of the skills of the child”

      What a great metaphor for teaching. Also reminds me of the rules of improv - you do everything you can to support each other and find a way to keep the play going.

    1. These patterns show that personality development is a lifelong process.

      This is extremely important yet it's looked over so often. It reminds me of the beginning of the year when everyone is making their resolutions for improvement. Many people think they have reached their "best selves" but how can you when we are constantly growing and changing.

    1. Through recreational gaming, kids build social relationships that center on game-related interests and expertise.

      That is exactly what we as educators want a "hangout and learn kinda vibe" that will engage and entice students to want to lean based on their interest. This reminds me of an article from the blog Building Connections article "Connected Learning Environment Analysis which states "connected learning environments are generally characterized by a sense of shared purpose, a focus on production, and openly networked infrastructures.” That exactly what is needed self interest with social vibe win win. https://buildingconnections.blog/connected-learning-environment-analysis/

      (Ito et al., 2013)

    1. for the game to continue, the skills of the adult and child need appropriate adjustments to allow the growth through learning of the skills of the child”

      This reminds me that each child is an individual and learns at their own pace and time.

    1. Being a Peranakan led to a life often of luxuries and privileges. Knowing that they essentially started from nothing, and became powerful through trade is astonishing in a country that was against outside trading. It reminds me of the owners of modern day companies that started with almost nothing, and now are massive corporations.

      Peranakans were a very interesting and powerful group of people and had a large influence on China.

    1. it attempts to align the goals of research projects with those of the communities a researcher engages.1

      This is a win-win situation. By doing cultural rhetoric, researchers are able to benefit as well as the communities in need. As a researcher, I understand how important involving a community is. Many times, people do research to improve a community or a group years into the future. However, with cultural rhetoric, a researcher can get published but also improve communities in a short term basis.

      This reminds me of an article I read about a non-profit called Carrotmob. Carrotmob buys a lot of products from certain businesses when they make socially responsible changes within their business. Essentially, the non profit rewards businesses for making proper social change. This is a win-win situation as business sell more products while improving conditions in society.

    2. I am lying in the street because of a point Stokely Carmichael once made in a speech: that the destinies of Black and Latino peoples are intertwined. I am using my body to block the flow of traffic, the flow of a society that has disregarded humanistic thinking by normalizing violence against Black, Latino, and Native people. At the same time, I am dying-in specifically to show my solidarity with Black Lives Matter.

      This reminds me of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper's speech to the white suffragettes, criticizing them for not standing in solidarity with the struggles of black women.

    1. In fact, the role of the teacher in Reggio Emilia is com-plex, multifaceted, and necessarily fluid, responsive to the changing times and needs of children, families, and society.

      This reminds me so much of the Characteristics of White Supremacy, worship of the written word, just because it's written down on the "plan" doesn't mean it has to be done. Time, space, humans are fluid and ever changing and we need to be able to make those changes as needed.

    1. Dialogue cannot exist, however, in the absence of a profound love for the world and for people. I choose to annotate this sentence since it inspires me a lot. It reminds me that dialogue between people is not unreasonable, it exists for love inside human's heart. Sometimes I get impatient when my mom nagging me to study hard. Now I know she talks with me because she loves her children and wants her to have a good living environment in the future.Just like Angela Davis who is full of love to this world, she argues forthrightly for "decarceration", and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole.

      Dialogue further requires an intense faith in humankind, faith in their power to make and remake, to create and re-create, faith in their vocation to be more fully human (which is not the privilege of an elite, but the birthright of all). I choose this sentence because it makes me feel passioned that any problems we meet might be solved only if we have strong faith in humankind, also their power to make an remake. For instance, I used to experience school bullying when I was at grade 10. Some of my classmates always nicknamed me "pigeon" because of my appearance.It makes me feel so annoyed and I believe that dialogue is a way for me to stop it from happening again in my life.As I think they are not do it in purpose, instead, they just do not know exact ways to respect other people.Angela Davis thought that the time for the prison is approaching an end. Those immoral and cruel thing such as convict-lease system should banned and she trusts that people are able to achieve this goal.

      Only dialogue, which requires critical thinking, is also capable of generating critical thinking. I choose to annotate this sentence since dialogue is really a way for people to think critically and to correct their mistakes. Different people always have various thoughts. Most of people in the society just follow what people thought before. However, there are still some people who have ability to think critically and break the rules. Dialogue might help more people to think about the issues by themselves rather than repeating other's ideas. Angela Davis is such person who have courage to break people's thinking mode and challenge the whole society to express her own view about prison.

    1. Human existence cannot be Silent, nor can it be nourished by false words, but only by true words, with which men and women transform the world. To exist, humanly, is to name the world, to change it. Once named, the world in its turn reappears to the namers as a problem and requires of them a new naming. Human beings are not built in silence,3 but in word, in work, in action-reflection.

      This quote is definitely my favorite in the entire passage. It describes to me how the world is right now and what it is transitioning into. Silence is submission in the face of adversity, making change starts with a voiced idea and turns into actions. The second part about false words reminds me of the way that false news or lies prevails in making a toxic environment. The last sentence is about humans being built in word, work, and in action- reflection and in my life I've found all three of those statements to be true. This quote reminds me of Prison's are Obsolete because it talks about people being silenced and the women and men in the American prison system are completely silenced.

    1. Tell all the truth but tell it slant —

      Another definition for "slant" is angle, and to angle is to give a specific perspective, so it seems that Dickinson is saying not to give the whole truth. The rest of the poem escapes me, but the end reminds me of a line in Kevin's Heart by rapper J. Cole. "They tell me 'What's done in the dark will find a way to shine'/ I done did so much that when you see you might go blind" It means that the truth will blind you if not revealed properly, or "gradually" as Dickinson says, and I think she is getting at the same idea in this poem.

    1. Gather and report — that’s pretty much it.

      This reminds me in elementary school when the systems of 1's, 2's, 3's and 4's were the standard and having your parents in class to talk to your teacher on why you have a 3 instead of a 4. The teacher would then reply with a general statement like the student's reading needs to get better.

    1. fact, the role of the teacher in Reggio Emilia is com-plex, multifaceted, and necessarily fluid, responsive to the changing times and needs of children, families, and society.

      This statement reminds me why we must continue learning about ourselves as teachers, researchers and our children and families. Families today are much more diverse then they were even ten years ago. This year I have more same sex couples then I had in my 20 years prior in this field. I also have one transgender parent. we must evolve with the changing times.

    1. The result is a Frankenstein’s monster of an “essay,” something that looks vaguely essay-like, but is clearly also not as it lurches and moans across the landscape, frightening the villagers.

      I love the way this analogy is used here! This essay opened my eyes to just how frightening the 5-paragraph essay really can be - this section reminds me of the part in the Kittle and Gallagher video where they discuss taking note of energy and passion in student writing pieces first, rather than just always going after structure, form, and grammar.

    1. But Bill’s class showed me that racism is judgment, that the classroom is a site that reproduces racism and White language supremacy, that how judgments in such spaces are made have just as much to do with larger, structural forces as they do with an individual’s idiosyncratic reading of a text

      Reminds me of Curzan's "Says Who? Questioning the Rules of the English Grammar" (2009), in which she writes,

      Through language, we assert our identities. And we judge others on language (873).

    1. relativize the relations of scriptor, reader, and observer (critic)

      This reminds me of the first reading we did in class, speaking to the "new" modes of reading.

    2. The Text is a little like a score of this new kind: it solicits from the reader a practical collaboration.

      I love this idea that readers/writers of the "text" are like friends gathered around the piano in olden times in which to hear music, you had to make it. Reminds me of Matt Rubery's work on oralizations of Victorian literatur.

    1. She particularly tuned into how the unique constraints of television shaped how the events were being reported

      Perspective really matters. Reminds me of performance

    1. If and when a robust theory of Wikipedia’s “magic” emerges, I believe it will give prominent attention to a collection of about eight mutually supporting software features.

      I'll be curious to know what they are and what other dimensions the theory might encompass! This reminds me of Ray Puzio's CCC theory for PlanetMath.

    1. I'm not going to be led into making any more statements of that kind again.

      This reminds me of the play, "The Dutchman," where a white woman lures a Black man with her sensuality, then somehow turns it onto him. The lines become blurry here because it deals with two people who have an aspect of themselves that are socially oppressed--either being a woman or being Black. It's difficult to compare this and problematic, but here it seems quite obvious that this woman is being sort of racist with her microagressions and slight, sneaky language.

    1. What a condescending political cartoon. The entire cartoon is disturbing to see because it reminds me of the ugly part of History. Immigration is still a controversial topic of debate and will most likely stay that way without some type of reform politically and socially.

    1. After reading this it reminds me a lot of the true crime shows about serial killers and cult leaders. The rough upbringing, the torture, and the psychosis that follows. The way he speaks about what he claims to have seen could be believable to those who seek the same comfort the person speaking does. Nat Turner speaks about what he feels called to do with such conviction that it almost consumes him. He really thinks and believes that what he has done was called upon him by "God".

  4. Sep 2020
    1. I communicated it to many, both white and black,

      I find it interesting that he specifically states here, he communicated this miraculous Spiritual communication to BOTH whites and blacks. For me that is interesting to his case. He was trying to get this message to everyone before something bad happened. That to me shows he cared for both. I still must conclude he probably had a mental illness, but I think it dissolves him somewhat of responsibility of just trying to free slaves through murders of slave owners and their families. I reminds me of Noah trying to convince people to change before God flooded the earth. I'm certain many of his religious ideals combined with mental illness made this make sense in his brain. I feel he felt he did his due-diligence in telling everyone what he was seeing and being told and felt they decided their own fate through their reactions.

    1. Friday, June 30th, 1848

      rather interesting how exact both Betteredge and Clack are about dates. there's a certain amount of precision that doesn't necessarily come with their other descriptions. also reminds me of the role of diaries and documentation in the story (first encountered Penelope's diary and now Clack's) --> the role of women as keepers of stories/histories? they seem to offer some certainty as to the story being told (without the blurs of memory) but at the same time, is distorted by the voice and values of the particular narrator

    2. Impossible again! I could speak to Mr. Franklin’s astonishment as genuine, when he saw how the girl stared at him. Penelope could speak to the girl’s inquisitiveness as genuine, when she asked questions about Mr. Franklin.

      This rather reminds me about the objective-subjective discussion between Franklin Blake and Betteredge in the last chapter. Subjective interpretation of objective facts?

    3. I don’t want to force my opinion on you

      This is false. Betteredge himself confesses during this conversation that his thoughts were "muddled" until "Mr. Franklin took them in hand, and pointed out what they ought to see". Furthermore, wasn't it Franklin who pushed Betteredge to write his recollection in the first place? Franklin's influence on the Betteredge is apparent, putting into question the reliability of his narrative as well as Franklin's motives.

      It again brings up the dichotomy of opinion versus fact, subjective versus objective. This reminds me of "In a Grove" by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, which was adapted into the film "Rashomon" by Akira Kurosawa. Very similar themes and narrative structure.

    4. The deity breathed the breath of his divinity on the Diamond in the forehead of the god

      The deep connection between the stone and the Indian god of the moon creates a sense of otherness and the supernatural for the readers, this whole "legend of the diamond" also reminds me a bit of Judeo-Christian traditions. Vishnu breathed life into the Diamond like God breathing life into Adam, the three Brahmin like the three Magi. I'd be interested to see as the story continues if these sorts of inter-religious elements reappear, and what they have to say.

    1. Tribes of women, a great source of hurt, dwell with mortal men

      This reminds me of how in the bible, a woman is also seen to be the root of suffering for humankind. I wonder why this is the case in these creation stories.

    2. The gods had hidden away the true means of livelihood for humankind, and they still keep it that way. If it were otherwise, it would be easy for you to do in just one day all the work you need to do, and have enough to last you a year, idle though you would be.

      This reminds me of the more christian belief (stronger in the Middle Ages) that if you suffer on Earth, then you can be happy in the afterlife when you get to heaven. Did the ancient greeks also believe in this? (That is, working hard in life to get to a happy afterlife)

    3.  Just as to mortal men high-thundering Zeus gave women as an evil, accomplices of painful toils: another evil too did he provide instead of good; to wit whosoever shunning marriage and the ills that women work, declines to marry, and has come to old age pernicious, 

      It seems here that this is a description of the dilemma we covered in the lecture. I actually find it so hilarious that the Ancient Greeks thought so little of women and hated them so much. It reminds me a lot of the "kill all men/hate all men" movement that most men think encompasses modern feminist. Of course, most of the women who say things like this are saying them satirically but a lot of men get really offended anyways, which is hilarious when looking at what society thought of women for so long. (I'm sure not every Ancient Greek man hated women but it is still kinda funny)

    4. the white bones of the ox

      Did Zeus just not like the bones because there was no meat on them and therefore they were useless? It seems odd for bones to be considered unideal for sacrifice when it seems as though they're used often for sacrificial purposes (especially in media involving witches). Perhaps this myth is just an explication for why bones are considered sacrificial. It also reminds me of how native Americans used every part of the animal (including bones) and just their practicality over time with them being used in weapons, clothing, jewelry, etc..

    1. dancing, shouting, clapping of hands, and eager invocations of blessing on the heads of ‘massa and missis

      Incorporation of a southern slave dialect into the text. This reminds me of how Gage relayed Truth's speech through a similar dialect. White perception of the "other" through language and the master narrative voice overpowering voices of slave figures.

    1. These are the wages you’ve been paid for your sin of loving the mortals.

      Again, this reminds me of the more christian belief of working hard during life/seeking no pleasure in order to secure a spot in heaven (more prevalent in history rather than modern times). Prometheus's punishment seems to be a warning for humans; don't seek pleasure in life or you will be punished in the afterlife/by God's hand. Prometheus's actions were selfless, sacrificing himself for humankind, but if a human were to make these same actions, it would be selfish since it's benefiting themselves.

    1. “the ghost in the machine.”

      This quote reminds me of the Ghost in the Shell series, both due its similarity to the title but also the similarity of the premise. While a bit different than having a spiritual substance controlling the body, the whole premise of Ghost in the Shell is that the main character, Major Kusanagi, is just a cyberbrain (the metaphorical "Ghost") that controls a cybernetic body (the metaphorical "Machine").

    2. Now can we say that to be conscious, to have experiences, is simply for something to go on within us apt for the causing of certain sorts of behaviour?

      This reminds me of Descartes I think, therefore I am. There was something inside of him that was allowing him the behavior to think.

      I am from Toronto and this reminds me of a story a mother of young children was telling me about, where she was looking for a new place to rent. She was restricted to areas that are a) accessible to transit (but still affordable as a single mother...), and b) where stations actually have elevators for the stroller. But at that time those stations were not located near her job opportunities, just adding more challenges to her consideration of living and moving through the city as a mother.

      similar to the next point the report makes below about "geographic accessibility"

    1. Going through hell and high water to attain something that turns out to be boring, vexatious, or a waste of time creates dissonance:

      very interesting and reminds me of like how the initiation to frat houses and things are very difficult so that it bonds you together

    1. silly, some are sad and none are focused on the plague.

      This reminds me of during our quarantine certain indrusties went up exponentially; like Netflix, exercise (equipment) and reading because all of these things help people because they distract them from the terribleness of the world.

    2. novelle means both news and stories. The tales of “The Decameron” are the news in a form the listeners can follow. (The rule of the young people’s quarantine was: No news of Florence!)

      Reminds me of the purpose behind John Krasinski's Some Good News YouTube series.

    3. Some appear healthy at breakfast but by dinner are sharing a meal, it is said, with their ancestors in another world.

      Such a rapid turn of events reminds me of how suddenly everything changed back in March with covid-19. It was the end of a "normal" school week in the middle of the month, and by the end of the weekend quarantine was in full swing.

    4. Reading stories in difficult times is a way to understand those times

      This reminds me of the notion that a text's meaning can change every time you read it. The meaning I draw from a story usually depends on whatever is happening in my life at that specific moment.

    1. What separates design-based research in the learn-ing sciences from formative evaluation is (a) a constant impulse toward connect-ing design interventions with existing theory, (b) the fact that design-based re-search may generate new theories (not simply testing existing theories), and (c)that for some research questions the context in which the design-based researchis being carried out is theminimal ontologyfor which the variables can be ade-quately investigated (implying that we cannot return to the laboratory to furthertest the theoretical claims)

      This reminds me of the concept of ACTION Research, where an instructor works on an active project to improves his/her teaching in a current class. Action research usually only applies to the investigating team. Results are focused on a small group. Results may be published, but may not apply to a grand scale.

    1. How awful is it to be left behind at such a day!

      This statement reminds me of something like in school as a kid, if you get a bad grade or weren't behaving that day you didn't get to pick something out of a treasure chest it made you feel terrible seeing all your friends get a cool toy except you. Imagine seeing everyone being overcome with Joy when Jesus comes down, this statement grabs your attention because who ever wants to be left behind on something so amazing? No one

    1. In other words, psycho-logical theory operates on the basis of some pre-understanding of that which it is a theory of

      Every understanding of our world ultimately requires assumptions. If we remove all our assumptions (supposing this is possible), I think we would be unable to function. This reminds me of the question of if the size-weight paradox is "true" or not. It is an illusion, but it is a helpful one.

    1. These considerations lead to the ready and unconditional abdication by the individual scientist of his responsibility for the orientation of his research to the organization which employs him. He is a specialist having neither knowledge nor competence in the ordering of the scheme of things of which he is a part. This attitude is strongly reinforced by the respect for authority and the sense of obligation that most of us feel for doing the bidding of our organizational super-iors. His career is bound up with the organization and he will readily accept assignments to research which will advance the purposes of his organization. Even if he feels the researc~ policies of his group to be wrong, he has usually little practical influence to change them. In the end, he must submit to the prevailing policy or resign his position.

      This reminds me of what I was writing about for the first essay. In the past, STEM research has been motivated with the goal of establishing dominance over others. Even if researchers are hesitant about the ethical precedents their projects will set, they are silenced with their superiors (the government) and their money.

    2. illusory~

      Reminds me of how in modern-day the covid-19 pandemic has been politicized: people harbor unnecessary fear towards vaccines and masks because they feel science is a weapon meant to silence them.

    1. hardware environment integrating military, surveillance, and entertainment applications, produces new markets for hardware and software

      reminds me of an article about Drones that I've read in 3012. The article was about how drones came about from the military and is now used worldwide.

    1. Pozzo: He wants to impress me, so that I'll keep him.

      this piece struck me as tragic as Lucky seems to be this man's personal workhorse, and Lucky is desperate to do anything to gain his approval, to keep a job or to just have Pozzo want to keep him around. I think this moment is ironic, considering one would think "why would a slave want to gain the approval of his master" similar to griffin's point. I think this as a whole reminds me of this idea of working our whole lives for someone else, 40 hr work week in the hopes of getting some illusive "American dream" or in other countries, this idea that if you give all of yourself to someone to prove how far you'll go, they'll certainly somehow find respect in you through that and want to keep you around. People are bound to system in the hopes it will serve them when the time comes, but mostly they just bare the brute of it. Even when Pozzo notices Lucky is tired he makes the other men leave him be, but he still bosses Lucky around. This is tragic in terms of how I perceive it's overall message of working for approval for a boss or someone who doesn't value you at all, and that life is inevitable in this manner.

    1. The Onion is cool since their humorous approach allows them to invest in serious topics without appearing like they are investing.

      This example of cool reminds me of the definition provided earlier. Not that it is narcissistic in anyway, but is further detached from other news sources and strays from normalcy. What makes The Onion cool is its unique approaching to presenting otherwise boring news.

    1. When news stories employ sensational images of property damage, using terms such as riot and the even more sensational mayhem and chaos, researchers have noted a rise in public support for law-and-order

      This reminds me of World History in high school, where my teacher always told us wars were won and lost by the media long before the battlefield. The perception of what is going on is steered by the media, enforcing a specific view of the conflict.

    1. There is no question that today the challenges are different than they were in the past. The crumbling of the Enlightenment belief in progress has led to a completely different understanding of our place in the world. The kinds of fears elicited by our environment, as Ulrich Beck has persuasively argued, are structurally different than they were in the past: they are now invisible, pervasive, and created by our own technology.25 It is now culture, rather than nature, which is the source of our fears. Yet the constellation of associations embedded in the concept of wasteland continues to inflect and guide many of our attitudes and actions. Only by becoming aware of these associations can we achieve the critical perspective necessary to forge a new approach.

      Relate: This reminds me of ASLA's part in the Green New Deal. We are calling to action all Landscape Architects to implement this into our designs. It holding us accountable to try and create designs that are sustainable culturally and environmentally. It is a time of educating ourselves and people outside of the field on the effects of climate change. It is also encouraging new ideas and ways to push our past ideas to create sustainable landscapes. Similar to this passage it is saying that what we do in the field matters. The actions we make change history ,so we should be trying to change it for the better.

    2. Unlike the concept of wilderness, wasteland offers the possibility of a more responsible understanding of our place in the environment. Rather than restricting "nature" to areas devoid of human presence, wasteland includes humans as part of nature, it assumes that our actions are just one set of activities, of reactions and responses, along with those of the rocks, plants, animals, and atmosphere that surround and interact with us. Wasteland leaves no place "over there" that is un-touched by human presence, but posits all places, all categories as interconnected: the domesticated and the wild, the urban and the rural, the local and the global. It is in wasteland's precarious, yet fertile conjunction of disgust and utopia that its greatest potential lies.

      This idea of wastelands should be viewed as potential rather than a wasteland reminds me of the book Planting in a Post Wild World. I feel like the way he talks about Fens as a wasteland is similar of how our culture views meadows and the plants that inhabit disturbed sites. Our idea that a landscape must fit in a certain box ,and be repeated over and over we are missing out on the opportunity to create sustainable landscapes. I think testing the limits of a landscape rather than being restricted is how we can use the land in a symbiotic relationship rather than a us only receiving from nature to fit our needs.

    1. that require cooperation, rivalry keeping in mind the end goal to accomplish certain objectives and have unique principles, it requires to have rules and certain objectives to be taken after.

    1. maintained families, were poorly trained, and were considered excessively permissive.

      This reminds me of Padre Martinez in Taos when Lamy came. It also seems that the mandates of the Council of Trent did not make it to Brazil, or at least this part of the country.

    1. Therefore, part of the job of the quarantine-net is to safeguard the amounts of negative-polarity stimulus that gets in so that humans “are not hindered from free choice.” Orion can still get in but only to the degree allowed by karma and calling.

      This reminds me of the action of breathing and "free-will". We can freely choose to "STOP BREATHING". But to continue living in third density our bodies must breath and will KICK IN and automatically breath even if the brain has to make us black out to resume breathing!

    1. Lack one lacks both, and the unseen is proved by the seen, Till that becomes unseen and receives proof in its turn.

      this reminds me of how people say "seeing is believing." he seems to equate the seen and the unseen, saying they're both just as valid as each other despite their tangibility. if you lend your third eye to the unseen, you start to question the validity of the seen, until eventually the unseen proves the seen as vice versa.

    1. Practice Rhetorical Analysis

      When I was completing my rhetorical analysis - the picture helped me by giving me questions to consider and also organized those questions which made it much simpler to navigate my thought process and how I wanted to approach writing my responses.

      Also reminds me of my study notes which I tend to make infographics or mind maps to help me comprehend and memorize the information better.

    1. Kerry: Is that so?Woman: What do you mean, is that so? Kerry: Why, nothing.Woman: You're just like my husband. You respond to mental suffering with one resounding clich6 after another.Kerry: Well, I'm sorry.An embarrassed silence ensues.Woman: My husband is having an affair with another woman, Dr. KerryKerry: Is that so?Woman: (Irritably) Oh, for heaven's sake!

      The author uses humor here, even the natural essence of human conversation and tendencies, to really guide this play. The interactions between characters are written almost flawlessly, and you can interpret the characters' personalities and traits by how they talk. This bit, where Kerry says "is that so" for a second time, out of habit, is very relatable. It reminds me of when I say sorry too much, and someone tells me not to say it anymore: there's nothing to be sorry for. I, in turn, respond with "sorry," and then catch myself. I wonder if there's a reason this happens so naturally in conversation, when we speak. This whole dialog has been quite entertaining, but I get the feeling something is wrong with the woman, or she has a valid reason to be talking in circles with the doctor.

    1. [T]he more radical a person is, the more fully he or she enters into reality so that, knowing it better, he or she can transform it.

      This reminds me of teachers saying kids need to know the rules of grammar in order to break them. It's a provocative idea, that we need to fully understand something (students, pedagogy) to figure out how to make changes that will better serve our students.

    1. he argu-ments, rears, laughter, joy, and anger are the crucible from which a real community starts

      It seems the text is saying true communities only form from pain and I am not certain if I completely agree with the statement. It reminds me of the discussion on trauma bonding from the summer sessions. I am connecting this thought to the idea of the black community as community forged through the resilience and pain of oppression rather than by culture. I feel this is dangerous statement or wording perhaps.

    1. “I see the picture as unequal lines,” he said. “The goal is not to trust what I think I see. To understand that I shouldn’t believe my lying eyes.”

      This quote is an interesting way to describe an illusion. How there is always more than what you perceive. How i interpret this quote is that there is always more detail and more information to everything compared to just having a first look at it. This reminds me of how we meet people. From what you perceive when you meet someone based on how they look compared to their personality after getting to know them.

    2. Instead, it has been devoted to changing behavior, in the form of incentives or “nudges.”

      This reminds me of the psychological strategy of operant conditioning which changes behaviors. After the display of a certain behavior, there is a positive or negative consequence that enforces whether the behavior is good or bad.

    3. He addresses the logical fallacy of confirmation bias, explaining that people’s tendency, when testing a hypothesis they’re inclined to believe, is to seek examples confirming it. But Nisbett points out that no matter how many such examples we gather, we can never prove the proposition. The right thing to do is to look for cases that would disprove it.

      This reminds me of the Kakutani article "The death of truth: how we gave up on facts and ended up with Trump." People tend to seek out confirmation of their own political opinions from sources/individuals with a similar mindset as their own.

    1. Black women have always embodied, if only in their physical manifestation, an adversary stance to white male rule

      This reminds me of Johnson's point in the Quare Studies reading

    2. The most general statement of our politics at the present time would be that we are actively committed to struggling against racial, sexual, heterosexual, and class oppression,

      This statement greatly reminds me of RBG and everything she worked and fought fro during her life. She, like this group of Black feminists, also wanted to right the wrongs of our society and prevent the further oppression of individuals based off their race, sex, sexuality, or class.

    1. Upon closer inspection, the intruder's weathered face betrays a life lived outdoors. But his jaw is certainly chiseled and his natural squint reminds me of a youthful Clint Eastwood as he gazes off into the distance.

    1. It is common among the infantile heads of state and power merchants whose evacuated language leaves them with no access to what is left of their human instincts for they speak only to those who obey, or in order to force obedience.

      Reminds me of the first admendment which is the freedom of speech.

    1. Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love. I like to work, read, learn, and understand life. I like a pipe for a Christmas present, or records—Bessie, bop, or Bach. I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like the same things other folks like who are other races. So will my page be colored that I write? Being me, it will not be white. But it will be a part of you, instructor. You are white— yet a part of me, as I am a part of you. That’s American. Sometimes perhaps you don’t want to be a part of me. Nor do I often want to be a part of you. But we are, that’s true! As I learn from you, I guess you learn from me— although you’re older—and white— and somewhat more free.

      Langston Hughes here is expressing his deep feeling by asking although the two different races have the same culture and speaking the same language and most likely have the same religion but there is a segregation and a significant gap between them. in spite of having the same pattern to dance and taste the tradition but they are not equal. In the end of the poem the reminds his white instructor that we are all American and we learn from each other and one nation, no matter what skin color we are in.

    1. Non-white populations are significantly more likely to see racism in society and in the workplace.

      This reminds me of the phrase, "you don't know, what you don't know".

    1. We are all storytellers whether we realize it or not. We all tell stories about who we are, where we came from, where we’re going, and why things happen the way they do.

      reminds me of Beck's "Life Stories"

    1. 90% of fourth and fifth grade students participat-ing for a 2-year period passed the New Jerseystandardized language arts tests, versus 70% of thecontrol group.The percentage of sixth- and seventh-graders par-ticipating for 1 year scoring proficient was 56.4%;the control group was 43.1%.Prior to the intervention, third grade studentspassing state English language arts (ELA) tests inthe six treatment JCPS was 38.4%; in the controlschools 46.6%. By the final year of project partici-pating third-graders passing the state tests was64%, while control group students’passing ratewas 51.7%

      The inclusion of statistics also reminds me of some sort of scientific article, similarly to my last point.

    Annotators

    1. For them, the notion of the paradigm neatly encapsulates the idea that truth and knowledge are relative, and depend upon the larger system of assumptions and relations from which they emerge.

      I think that it's very valuable for human kind to consider knowledge and truth as relative. Considering language itself limits our communication, what we believe to be truth could potentially limit our understandings of the world. All of this philosophical talk reminds me of Plato's Allegory of the Cave in which those who live in the cave know nothing but the cave. We, as well, may rely too heavily on what we know in the world.

    2. Minimalism reintroduced the dreaded `theatricality', making the viewer a part of the work by requiring him or her to `activate' the sculpture by moving around it.

      Reminds me of a scene in Manhattan (don't come at me for referencing Allen's work)

      Two people standing in a modern art museum, it's interesting to see how this scene mocks the art form generally, but apparently, there is a little truth in it. The phrase "negative capability" seems like nonsense created as a joke.

      Isaac Davis : The steel cube was brilliant?

      Mary Wilke : Yes. To me it was very textual, you know what I mean? It was perfectly integrated, and it had a marvelous kind of negative capability. The rest of the stuff downstairs was bullshit.

    1. I will incontinently drown myself.

      Just a note a found this very found when I was reading this. I think Roderigo is sort of the butt of a lot of jokes throughout the play and in terms of Iago's giant master plan, his promises to Roderigo are at the bottom of the list of priorities. He's sort of forgotten and comes up later to ask why Desdemona doesn't care about him, to which Iago continues to use him like a pawn as we see her. He reminds me of Jan from the Brady Bunch (Why does Othello get all the nice drawers? Why does Othello get all the trophies? Why does Othello get Desdemona? Why does Othello get everything?)

    1. ust as the different aspects of the planet –physical, chemical and biological –are interrelated, so too living species are part of a network which we will never fully explore and understand. A good part of our genetic code is shared by many living beings. It

      This reminds me about how in Nepal, all the children meditate for world peace for 4 days, and worldwide crime rates are lower in this period.

    1. Artis to invest in the task of making judgements and distinctions between what are correct and incorrect forms of reason,including a healthy skepticism towards thisre-thinking of the claims of critique as means to hold reason in check.

      Does this mean that art should be ideologically neutral, pursuing only an epistemological project that enlightens us rather than weaponising us in an ideological pursuit? If so, this reminds me of Kant's idea of disinterestedness

    2. in a theistic nature –art, human, knowledge.

      The culmination of the epistemological project. The was the epistemological project of art seems to loom large over art and "human consciousness" reminds me of this by Marx and Engels: "The phantoms of their brains have gotten out of their hands. They, the creators have bowed down before their creations” - The German Ideology

    1. this is the work of my countrymen, who, when convulsed by factions, afflicted by a variety of miseries and wants, restless and impatient, took refuge here.

      this reminds me of learning in elementary school that the early settlers (not the conquerers or whatever) came to America for things like religious freedom. if that's actually true and not just what young Americans are spoon-fed, then that does make them refugees. I'm so quick to demonize the early Americans, but I know there were a lot of innocent people who just wanted a better life.

    1. It's strange to imagine us speaking like Shakespeare, would we be where we are today if we still spoke like that? Abbreviations are the most common forms of slang cuz they take less time to type and almost everyone can figure out what they mean, even my grandma knows abbreviations and uses them more than I do This reminds me of the "Monkey see, monkey do" mindset when we see ppl using new slang, like how my irl friend picked up my texting habits from my twt habits that I saw others do The short form letter way of writing is also v common, I also feel like it could've been made that way thanks to twt's low character count

      The vivid descriptions of the Titans really depicts just how forceful and deadly they were. This description of the Titans really reminds me of Fluffy, the three headed dog in the Harry Potter series. It's also really interesting how Fluffy was inspired by Cerberus from Greek Mythology. I think this just shows how many renowned fantasy movies/novels receive influence from Greek/Roman mythology.

    2. , Earth, still more enraged, had intercourse with Tartarus and brought forth Typho

      I find the language in this text to be very bold and descriptive it very much reminds me of the Percy Jackson books I used to read as a kid.

    1. Sometimes we can escape them, by speeding away in a power chair

      This reminds me of Zoom calls and how easy it can be to escape a social interaction through muting and turning off your camera. It almost becomes normal to sit in silence, and I am just as guilty as everyone else, sometimes you just don't want to talk to anyone that day. However, this is still sad to think about.

    1. “What can we learn from the museum?” and referred to a form of learning that could take place beyond that which the museum sets out to show or teach.

      This reminds me of a talk I attended at Playfair Library by Alistair Hudson, director of Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, who was promoting his idea of the 'useful museum' as 'art school for everyone'. I was impressed by his enthusiastic outlook towards full inclusivity and enjoy this quote from the following article: https://civicroleartsinquiry.gulbenkian.org.uk/resources/mima-middlesbrough-institute-of-modern-art

      “all people learn together this role that art has in society of transformation. That includes cooking, gardening, politics, housing, healthcare, everything. Once you start to get that message embedded into people’s minds, that’s when you stop them saying we don’t need an art gallery any more, or we don’t need art, or we don’t need culture. Because actually you don’t choose whether you have culture or not, it’s just a question of what kind of culture you have.”

    1. I n an attenuated way, the existence of the opposition in drinks points to a general drinking culture in which the two genders drink together but semiotically enact their gender difference and transform this gender difference into a (specifi cally heterosexual) sexualized complementarity by projecting these oppositions onto distinct classes of drinks.

      This part definitely reminds me of essentialism and our natural tendencies to reduce things to categories

    2. relationship between meaning and materiality

      Reminds me of the importance of kitchen scenes and still lifes in art history! Immediately thought of the Kitchen Scene by Vicenzo Campi from the 1580’s

    1. Let me introduce them to you-my dresser, Mr. Tremayne, -himself a distinguished Shalcespearean actor for manyyears; our wardrobe mistress, Hester; Miss Somerset's maid,Ivy; and Fred Bailey, captain of the ushers in this theatre.

      The notion that anyone can be a part of the play alludes to the idea of "theatrum mundi". Although they are brought out as volunteers, the action of introducing them as regular people illustrates how everyone has the ability to act, and that we are all actors in some form or another. Without much guidance at all, the volunteers are able to repeat the lines without any difficulty. Although when this is performed the volunteers might be told to speak more clumsily, they are still completing their role as actors even if poorly. It also reminds the audience that behind each role is a person still managing to fool the audience into believing they are someone else. It forces the audience to adjust their expectation of theater that there is a 1:1 ratio of actor:role... instead, some actors are dudes playing dudes playing the role of other dudes (that was a Tropic Thunder reference, forgive me).

    1. I passed an hour in this state of mind, when suddenly I reflected how fearful the combat which I momentarily expected would be to my wife, and I earnestly entreated her to retire, resolving not to join her until I had obtained some knowledge as to the situation of my enemy.

      The fact that Victor asked his wife to go to bed alone confused me so much. He knew that the creature was going to visit him on his wedding night, wouldn't it be common sense to not let your new wife be left alone? I know he was concentrated on making sure the creature never even came close to either of them, yet it makes absolutely no sense to me why he would leave her alone in bed. It reminds me of horror movies when main characters do the exact thing to get themselves killed.

    1. Some of the women here have been using drugs most of their adult lives. Some are pregnant. Some have children.

      Again, the repetition reminds me of the elements authors use in books to grab the reader's attention. Adds more dramatic tone.

    2. And Middletown. And Norwood. And Hamilton. And West Chester Township. And countless other cities and towns across Ohio and Kentucky.

      The repetition reminds me of something you'd see in an actual book. It adds an element of drama and seriousness to the tone of the article.

    1. It could create incentives for action by conditioning a portion of funds going to states in any future relief packages on states’ adherence to the measures

      Why did this not happen? I feel like it isn’t the federalist system in general that are failing us— it’s the leaders of the system. Why did congress not make a playbook and create incentives for states to follow them? This reminds me of how the drinking age became 21 in every state from the funding of the highways.

    1. In June, the bishops of South Sudan, citing the Rome conference, called their congregations to work for justice, peace, and reconciliation to end their country’s civil war. Peacebuilding is a mandate for the global church as well

      This reminds me of MLK letter and his speech. A calling for peace is what both was used for

    2. The church everywhere must be urged, motivated, and expected to promote peacebuilding. This is a mission in which U.S. Catholics and most of their leaders have fallen grievously short.

      This reminds me a little of MLK. In his letter he talks about how he has broken has broken laws a a leader. Here we see that peacebuiding is something US Catholics and their leaders are trying to build on eventhough they have fallen many times to this.

    1. These attacks may have been psychological in origin rather than physical.

      this reminds me of the reading last week. I think ives was a loner (kind of like the unsocial) , like he didn't like to take photo, his taste in food, clothes, and furniture remained plain to the point of spartan throughout his life even he moved his agency to new quarters. although Ives always avoided looking like was a sensitive artist or intellectual, but I think ives was sensitive. so this is also like the psychological.

    1. Even in cases where the content of a psychical phenomenon is not physical. but is another psychical phenomenon, the distinction holds good. For the act which becomes content or object of another act is not thereby deprived of its essential character; it is still active in its own right; and it is therefore by no means confusable with bare physical appearance.

      Reminds me of the philosophical journey Rene Descartes went though, trying to rationalize his beliefs from the ground up.

    1. Underlying these arguments was the belief that the colonizers were bringing civi-lization to savage people who could never civilize themselves. The ‘civilizing mission’ rested on a belief of racial and cultural superiority.

      This horrible reality reminds me a lot of a paper I wrote about Orientalism by Edward Said in undergrad. The thesis of Orientalism (the definition relating very well to my paper/Said) "is a way of seeing that imagines, emphasizes, exaggerates and distorts differences of Arab peoples and cultures as compared to that of Europe and the U.S. It often involves seeing Arab culture as exotic, backward, uncivilized, and at times dangerous." While Orientalism is written particularly about people from middle eastern countries, the definition of Orientalism extends to the Indigenous people in this part of the book. It is very difficult/sad to read this book, but I see how important it is to be educated on the subject.

    1. tasks requiring higher orderthinking can, intheory, be designed for any student in anydomain regardless ofhis/her prior experience in that domain.

      This reminds me of Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. Critical thinking can take place at any stage of learning but the problems will look different depending on the level the student is at.

    1. “On the far end of the Trail of Tears was a promise.” The reference is to the forced relocation of some 100,000 Native Americans from their home in the Southeast in the 1800s.

      This reminds me of the current day discussions on whether to distribute reparations for slavery

    1. He describes reality as an  unbroken, coherent whole that is involved in an unending process of  change—called holomovement.

      This idea of "Holomovement" is fascinating. Reminds me of the theological view that God is an unfolding revelation that can't be fully crystallized (exhausted) by our finite capacity.

    2. A good television repair person can look at  the particular distortion of the picture or sound of a television set and  tell us exactly what is wrong with it and which parts must be replaced  to make the set work properly again. No one would see this as proof  that the set itself was responsible for the programs we see when we  turn it on. Yet, this is precisely the kind of argument mechanistic sci-  ence offers for “proof” that consciousness is produced by the brain.

      Reminds me of my Uncle's ability (through mechanical mastery) to touch a running car and tell if it was out of tune! In the same way, God can tell where we are "out of tune" when we abide in Jesus and gives us our needed "tune-up"

    1. ir own

      This reminds me of the “perfectionist” from the white supremacy culture. What would it look like if teachers learned from children and slowed down? I think that this article is a perfect example of this.

    2. but children's "voices" can be

      This reminds me of my classroom. The infants are not verbal, but they are sometimes more communicative than I am. After reading Seen and Heard over the summer, my co-teacher and I observed children in the environment and let them decide their own rights in the classroom. The list is still adding up everyday. They are just as able to be a citizen in the society, as any other human being.

    3. Teachers

      I love the idea of having older children interpret rights for preverbal children. It reminds me of a NAREA conference I went to a few years ago in which the speakers shared a story of a child with special rights who was afraid to go into the school's piazza. They asked the children how they could help her and they came up with many great ideas. They mentioned how taking problem about children to other children is helpful because their perspective is so much closer to that child's than that of an adult.

    1. defense once every means of peaceful settlement has been exhausted.” All these examples ref lect the mode of moral reasoning traditionally called “ just war.”

      this reminds me of the part of the Matthewes reading where he states the prudential guidelines for war and says that all effort must have been made to resolve the conflict and failed in order for there to be just war.

    1. a forking ar-rangement

      This reminds me of github. Github was very unintuitive at first and didn't feel like a natural storage system to me when I started using it, but now is an extremely useful storage and collaboration tool

    1. Is there not a God, or some being, by whatever name I may designate him, who causes these thoughts to arise in my mind ?

      This reminds me of our class discussion board, Does Morality Depend on God? "Is an action right because God wills it to be done, or does God will it to be done because it's right?" I feel like this question could be applied to memories as this article states. Do we create our own thoughts, or is there a higher being that is responsible for that, therefore making our own thoughts not so much our own?

    2. I will continue always in this track until I shall find something that is certain, or at least, if I can do nothing more, until I shall know with certainty that there is nothing certain.

      This reminds me of how in the reading of 2.3 In Doing philosophy, it says that "we can't be certain that sense experiences accurately represent the world. " (78) So we have to start being able to be comfortable in this uncertainty because it seems as though nothing is certain.

    3. fallacious memory represents ever existed

      I am reading 1984 in my FYS and this line reminds me of the protagonist, WInston, and his unreliable memories of the past. The reader has the believe that Winston's memories are true but towards the end of the novel when Winston questions his sanity it makes the reader question if his memories can be taken at face value.

    4. The Meditation of yesterday has filled my mind with so many doubts, that it is no longer in my power to forget them.

      This reminds me of classic overthinking, being stuck in the past and analyzing behavior and decisions, a classic symptom of anxiety.

    1. At the same time, many art workers in their hunt for a new function in society and new sources of income were getting involved in the corridors and boardrooms of the companies and corporations of the neoliberal economy. The artists acted as consultants and legitimators in branding and business activities relating to new ethical and social responsibility schemes and human resource management. The anger and hopes of the revolutionary avant garde had been deemed naive and artists were adapting to a new landscape of immaterial production. This told a sad story about society’s lost ability to dream. 

      This heavily reminds me of Max Haiven's book - earlier mentioned - Art After Money, Money After Art - whereby the work practices of the artist have come to be synonymous with the practice of work in general under neoliberalism in the financialised age. Flexible working, generating hype, be a risk taker and performative hucksterism.

    1. the right to self-expression,

      This statement reminds me of the dad who stole his child's right to self-expression as he chose to send him to a school to be "pushed around by other boys". Children deserve the right to express themselves freely.

    1. When he had disentangled the elements,

      This reminds me of the traditions that surround Wicca. Wicca is one of the only modern religions I know that still celebrates and honours the elements. I wonder if their beliefs are a result or influenced by the beliefs of the ancient romans and greeks.

    2. Nymphs nurtured the child on a mixture of honey and milk and gave him upbringing at the udder of the goat which was named Amaltheia.

      This reminds me of Percy Jackson because it just shows that even the gods themselves were not brought up by their parents - like the demi-gods.

    3. Immediately every kind of wickedness erupted into this age of baser natures: truth, shame and honour vanished; in their place were fraud, deceit, and trickery, violence and pernicious desires.

      This part of the passage reminds me of Hobbes and his definition of the state of war being that people are more brutish, harsh and nasty. However, it seems that people during this time were more engulfed in exploiting the earth, acquiring wealth and living in a constant war ("where friends were not safe with friends, relatives, etc..).

    4.   And Hera, without having been united in love, brought forth famous Hephaistos, as she was furious and quarrelling with her husband; Hephaistos, distinguished in crafts from amongst all the sky-born.

      I thought this was a very interesting part of the text, this very much reminds me of the Percy Jackson books

    1. growth

      this keyword, "growth," sounds like a connotation of 'organic' or 'natural,' and juxtaposed to the keyword "artificial," it reminds me of the opening line of Chapter 1: "Mankind likes to think in terms of extreme opposites."

      Can you remember seeing this theme of Growth/Living vs. Artificial/Manufactured in other readings from this unit?

    1. "A"—Second Movement

      Music is a motif that stands out to me in this poem. Even the title, I believe, is a play on the musical terminology of movement. The syntax reminds me of stream of consciousness writing, how it just comes out like vomit. For example, in lines 10 and 11, “Wherever always we are/ Crowds the sea upon us/” The word order in these lines is a bit strange to me. How is the author using words and themes in this poem? What kinds of figurative language are used? Upon first glance, it looks like a jumble of words. Is there order in this chaos?

    1. When a regime grants this right to some of its citizens, it moves toward greater public con-testation. But the larger the proportion of citizens who enjoy the right, the more inclusive the regime.

      very interesting take on how a regime can manipulate the right to vote to influence the people, and more than ever reminds me of the time in america where the majority of the country's population couldn't vote (including, but not limited to black citizens and women).

    1. They find that race becomes irrelevant once private informationbecomes available, which suggests that discrimination is mainly statistical.

      This shows that race is not the predominant factor when companies/individuals make a decision, but name is still important as it's the first thing that people see before meeting in person. It provides some background information on the applicants. This also reminds me of signing up for different discussion groups in middle school, I also felt more secure when I see names that sound culturally familiar to me.

    1. She reads the Forbes report, listens toWall Street Week, converses daily withher stockbroker, reads ShirleyMacLaine's books with ease—allkinds of things I can't begin to under-stand. Yet some of my friends tell methey understand fifty percent of whatmy mother says.

      This happens more commonly than we know. Sometimes it's easier to process information than expressing it. This reminds me of emotions. We know what we're feeling, but it's just very difficult knowing how to express it. Feelings are complex like words.

    2. I've often used the samekind of English with him, and sometimes he evenuses it with me. It has become our language of inti-macy, a different sort of English that relates tofamily talk, the language I grew up with.

      This reminds me of how me and my friends have our own spanglish language and sometimes I use is with my non spanish speaking friends and I would have to repeat myself in English.

    1. Should I con- sider that I am less obliged to pull the drowning child out of the pond if on looking around I see other people, no further away than I am, who have also noticed the child but are doing nothing?

      This reminds me of a term that I learned in psych class last year. I learned that when people see something happening that they could help with or could stop from happening and they choose not to help because they are 'following others,' this is the bystander effect. Simply put, people are less likely to offer help when others are present, (https://www.britannica.com/topic/bystander-effect). In this case, when we see others that we respect not doing anything to stop obvious injustice, it is easier for us to do the same. If more people started taking action, more good and more help would probably be offered.

    1. This reminds me of how there are certain vowel sounds in German that we as English speakers can't hear or make as well (ü), and similarly there are consonant sounds in English that German speakers cannot easily hear or produce (w). p. 6

    1. A second tension inherent to children's rights is the need to balance protection rights and participation rights (a focus of Chapter 3). Young children understand this balance as well. They believe that they should be able to make choices, but that these choices are constrained by concerns for safety

      This reminds me of our small group discussion on safety.

    2. The question, "Is it okay to be?" has very different connotations, however, than the question, "Do you have a right to be?" Children's assertions that sadness and anger were not okay

      I appreciate this distinction between "okay" and "a right". It reminds me of the time my mentor cautioned me against adding an "okay" to the end of a statement, "lets do a potty try, okay.. To me it was just a way of speaking but with children it turned into a question.

    1. Terracing allowed farmers to work land that would not normally be cultivated (either because of its steep incline or the impossibility of installing irrigation), and generally expanded the overall percentage of arable land.

      Respond: This reminds me of Chinese agriculture where they use terracing to help improve their practices. It would be interesting to see how much more they were able to cultivate compared to the other available land? I think it would also be interesting to see how these terraces were assembled, because from some of the pictures its hard to understand how all of it was done by hand?

      Agree! poverty is essentially the issue at the core. This reminds me of food stamps, people sell or exchange their food stamps for cash in order to buy other things they need or want (sometimes alcohol or drugs).

    1. So it does not depend on the age of the teller, but on the sensitivity of the listener.

      This reminds me of 'The Pedagogy of Listening' and how it is important for us to tune in to both the verbal and non-verbal forms of communication. I am also reminded of something Suzanne Axelson shared at a play summit recently, that we advocate for children to have a voice, but this will only happen when adults truly listen. When we listen, children will have a voice.

    1. Even now and 3,000 miles away, I can see my mother spic-ing the ground beef, pork, and venjson with chile. My mouth salivates at the thought of the hot steaming tamales I would be eating ifI were home.

      I like the way she puts out imagery and food language in this story. It reminds me of my aunt who lives so far from me.

    2. "If you want to be American, speak 'American.' If you don't like it, go back to Mexico where you belong."

      This quote reminds me of how people are being treated. In the USA, working people are not getting equal pay because of their race. I feel that everyone should be treated fairly, no matter what language they speak. I mean, people can learn languages from others, but I really don't think it is right to tell people to go back to their country just because they can't speak the same language as others.

    3. Language is a male discourse.

      I've noticed this when learning Italian that lots of words were masculine even if there was a woman involved. Also with English, it reminds me of how married women usually take their husband's last name. Why?

    1. Moreover, the phrase itself, I frame an image reminds me of my error; for I should in truth frame one if I were to imagine myself to be anything, since to imagine is nothing more than to contemplate the figure or image of a corporeal thing;

    1. We have to limit fortunes. Our present plan is that we will allow no one man to own more that $50,000,000. We think that with that limit we will be able to carry out the balance of the program.

      This reminds me of the Darwin theory where the rich celebrated where they felt it was a survival of the fittest that they had what they had. I like Long's proposal for equality and how he ties it back to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in his platform. By this time, America had gone through so much change, with the industrial boom, with new inventions, I admire his heart for wanting to see people being given an equal chance.

    2. We think that with that limit we will be able to carry out the balance of the program. It may be necessary that we limit it to less than $50,000,000.

      This reminds me of the Robin Hood Act in Texas that went into effect in the early 1990s. Schools that had more money from property taxes, etc. were told they cannot keep it. It was then taken, and shared with others.

    1. How then did the Latin American states pay for their wars? A commonexperience (and one not dissimilar to that of the European cases) was toprint money.

      This reminds me of modern day Latin America as well. Printing money makes it practically impossible to invest in anything because the currency is constantly crashing. People, especially in Argentina, won't buy houses and instead will only rent apartments because both the currency as well as the housing markets are too unstable to invest in. The currency, like the currency in the 1800s, can fall too fast, making the investors automatically lose money. For example, if you bought a house for 300,000 pesos when the currency was 1 to 1 with US dollars and then the currency all of the sudden was 5 to 1 with US dollars, the 300,000 peso house you just bought is suddenly worth a lot less money. The price will eventually readjust itself to a certain degree, but that will take time. You also have to consider that if someone wanted to buy your house and had 300,000 pesos, they now need to have 1.5 million to keep up with the conversion rate. This makes it very difficult to sell houses because each time the currency crashes, a smaller and smaller percentage of the population can actually afford the house. Peoples' salaries will adjust eventually, but again that takes a lot of time and doesn't always happen. Additionally the housing market itself is unpredictable unless you buy a house / apartment near an enormous urban center. I wonder how much of using printing money as a crutch to solve financial problems has influenced modern day fiscal policy in Latin America. Has it also been a way for the government to ignore the debt and financial crisis created by mass expenditures the government cannot pay for? Reading more about the state of Latin America in the 19th and 20th centuries I think is really solidifying for me how much Latin America has changed but more importantly how it has stayed the same.

    1. pg 262 "I never will forget how shocked when I was when I began reading about slavery's total horror. It made such an impact upon me that it later became one of my favorite subjects.." This reminds me of the TED talk we watched. The fact that he didn't know about slavery in books until he read about it. Similar to how she didn't know about Africans in books until later on

    1. The internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven’t figured this out yet.

      On the internet, even micro-niches are huge. You can benefit from this by writing online and attracting like minded individuals- reminds me of David Perell's idea of 'audience-first products'. Plus, going back to the earlier point of amassing assets that earn while you sleep, your writing basically networks for you while you sleep by putting a signal out into the world and connecting you with the people with whom your ideas resonate most deeply

    1. The work ahead is immense, but the premise remains: if both commu- nities do not engage the process of maintaining a functional, productive school, the powers that be will take over and impose their own agenda.

      The role of CPS is strategic in that it is pushing communities of color to do the labor and threatening them that if they don't continue to do so, they will intervene and impose their own agenda.

      This reminds me of the labor that communities of color do to collective and organize. Burn out is so real and this is why a community of care is so important. We must look out for one another and ensure that everyone is also prioritizing their mental wellbeing in the process of working towards racial justice and equality. We must create communal processes that are sustainable for the movement.

    2. In protest of the current conditions of urban public education, its inten- tion is to provide a radical constructive critique - radical because CRT in this sense is not a tool of educational reform. Where a reform effort may propose a change from within or a change of existing structures, CRT suggests a con- certed effort, from those negatively affected by the current system, to deter- mine their own needs and respon

      When speaking of reform, this passage reminds me of Audre Lorde's "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House" in which systems of power cannot be dismantled when using the tools of the oppressor. Reform pushes for change WITHIN a system, rather than destroying the oppressive system itself.

      As Gabi has said, I agree that there needs to be an abolition of schools. I know that David Stovall works on school abolition as well as CRT.

    1. They misunderstood the cause of my tears,

      This line reminds me of the part where her mother cried. how tears can be misunderstood and the grief associate with them. The sort of feelings she may have started to realized and understand now that she's in difficult situation where she feels lonely and misunderstood. A sad realization of how her own mother felt as she too misses her family.

    1. Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice.

      It's remarkable to me that this sentence still applies how many hundreds of years later. It reminds me of how the law is oftentimes unjust, particularly in the case of the increased incarceration and conviction rates of minorities. Law doesn't reflect morality, it reflects the will of the elite.

    1. In other words, they could receive the questions, check for alignment with Don’s mind, research the answer, create a response that is like an energy-ball of information and concepts, and then enter this energy-ball into a kind of inter-density “computer” that translates the energy into the English language.

      Reminds me of the language box scenario where someone thinks they are speaking in Chinese, but there's translators doing the real work.

      Also, the idea of word processors do the same thing. We only see the front of the interface (Microsoft Word) whereas the "CODE" is running all types of procedures in the background (in dos language).

    1. the Infinity (God with the lights off) became aware of Itself (God with the lights on).

      This reminds me of the Kabalistic view of "zimzum" where God in the form of all began to give distinction and form to things out of Himself. From Lights Out to Lights On!

    1. Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”

      This call and answer is frequent. The repetition emphasizes Abraham’s commitment to God. It reminds me of a soldier being called to attention or called out to war. The response is delivered without emotion. It’s just a duty.
