    1. The atelier had to be a place for researchingmotivations andtheories of children from scribbles on up, a place for exploringvariations in tools, techniques, and materials with which to work.

      This description reminds me of a laboratory - a place for research, discoveries, and plenty of materials.

    1. The :emple_ reflects the ideals and way oflife of those who built it and for whom it was mtended to operate as a link between the world of man and that of the g~ds.

      This reminds me of Vitruvius' description of Greek Temples. In Book 3, he goes into detail on the way in which ancient temples should be designed, specifying that their composition must be based on symmetry and proportion similar to how the human body is composed. This idea that temples are created to form a link between our world and that of the gods is clearly present in Hinduism as well. Immediately upon starting this reading, I wonder what other similarities and differences exist in the design and concept of Hindu Temples and that of other cultures, specifically the ancient Greeks and Romans.

    1. nd interchanged love-tokens with my child:Thou hast by moonlight at her window sung,With feigning voice verses of feigning love,And stolen the impression of her fantasyWith bracelets of thy hair, rings, gawds, conceits,

      I feel like these are al very common tropes on how to win over a woman. Further I think it's interesting how the father disapproves of these methods. I also feel like this description is very fantastical and whimiscal. And also it kinda reminds me of romeo and juliet

    1. [The noise becomes very loud] Jean: [to BERENGER, almost shouting to make himself heard above the noise which he has not become conscious of]<

      The offstage sound of the rhinoceros is clear as day to the audience, but everyone in the town square remains oblivious, even when the noise increases. This becomes even more ridiculous when Jean begins to raise his voice over a sound he apparently is still not "conscious" of. In mid-sentence, Jean stops shouting and finally notices the sound, asking "What's going on?" and then again, but in different words, "Whatever is it?" The waitress repeats his last question. Berenger remains indifferent. Then Jean exclaims "Oh, a rhinoceros!" The phrase is rapidly repeated by the waitress, grocer, and grocer's wife. Variations of Jean's phrases as well as "Ahs" and "Ohs" are scattered throughout the next page of dialogue as the townspeople converse. The repetition and similarity in their language is slightly off-putting and their delayed response seems to imply a fear of thinking individually and a need to react as a collective (also, it reminds me a bit of when a teacher asks a question to a class that most people know the answer to, but there's a long pause before anyone responds because everyone doubts themself and requires the validation of others). Overall, there seems to be a general distrust towards one's own mind.

    1. The pleasure of learning of knowing and understanding is one of the most important and basic feelings that each child expects to receive from the experience he or she is living through:

      This reminds me of a quote from Richard Feynman who while not connected to Reggio inspires my thinking.

      The prize is in the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it [my work]--those are the real things, the honors are unreal to me. Richard Feynman

    2. He needed to make a statement to the citizens of Reggio Emilia about the importance of preschools, and offer proof of his beliefs.

      To offer proof of his beliefs, make an impact and inspire transformation did not happen overnight. It took generations and a lifetime to drive change. This reminds me to be patient in my practice and in my advocacy.

    1. we wouldn't be able to function without rules

      I strongly agree with this statement, without rules to guide us then it can often be easy to get lost in the endless possibilities that come with absolute freedom. In some ways it reminds me of the statement "ignorance is bliss". If all we know are the rules and we have the notion that we must follow them, it can be much easier to achieve a goal than when given free reigns over our choices.

    2. always make three or more points in an essay

      The three point rule also reminds me of elementary school when they first teach you how to write essays. They tell you the structure of your essay should follow something like: Intro, Thesis, First, Second, Third, In conclusion. Up till 9th grade I was stuck in the idea that an essay would only flow if I had 3 points supporting my thesis and each with 2 explanation sentences. However, my literature teacher showed us that this method of 1 2 3 does not make the essay flow, but instead cuts it up into different pieces.

    3. It is a kind of cognitive habit that can limit perception, not a course of action with multiple paths that directs and se- quences response possibilities.

      This reminds me of a concept I learned in psychology called "deindividualization." It is the loss of self-awareness in groups. I found myself doing this a lot in my previous English classes. There would be times when I chose to use others' ideas than my own in writing because I was insecure about my own. On top of that, my previous English classes valued composition over creativity, so it didn't exactly feel refraining; it was rather more for convenience. And because always approached writing like this, the transition to creativity can get rather difficult sometimes.

    4. much of the literature on set has shown its rigidifying, dysfunctional effects.12

      This reminds me of a term I learned in psychology called "Interference". There is "Proactive interference" where you can not learn something new because you learned something before that, that subsequently INTERFERES with learning. Like Ruth that used previous rules from past english classes that made her less fluid and rigid in her current writing situation, which caused a block.

    1. “Because every time I see her I want to tell her I’m sorry your mother is alive, because it reminds me that mine is dead

      This justify my previous statement, building off of the envy I was discussing, Claire was feel a bit jealous towards her friends and she know knows how to express it.

    2. “Because every time I see her I want to tell her I’m sorry your mother is alive, because it reminds me that mine is dead.

      We see Claire truly express her feelings about Angela to Aaron. She has a form of envy and jealousy for Angela's mother's being alive.

    3. “Because every time I see her I want to tell her I’m sorry your mother is alive, because it reminds me that mine is dead.”Aaron winces. He takes a nervous sip from his red cup before looking at her again.“That’s fucked up, Claire. My mom misses you too. You’re messed up right now, I get that, but at some point you’re going to have to stop making it worse.”“I’m not making it worse. I’m looking for my shoes.”

      Although her mother died claire needs to learn to let go of the past and move on because the more she grieves is the more she hurts herself

    4. Because every time I see her I want to tell her I’m sorry your mother is alive, because it reminds me that mine is dead.”Aaron winces. He takes a nervous sip from his red cup before looking at her again.“That’s fucked up, Claire. My mom misses you too. You’re messed up right now, I get that, but at some point you’re going to have to stop making it worse.”

      These details make me question if Claire is so jealous of Angela and Aarons mom surviving that she has grown a disdain towards black people. Could this be why she sees no wrong in her actions?

    1. It is important to recognize that access to the opportunities afforded by proficiency in the dominant academic and social ways with oral and written language and other cultural practices were goals of deficit and difference approaches too, t

      I am reading a book and (in someways) it has some ties to baseball, and in the book the narrator makes the argument that baseball is a different form of war that does not facilitate killing, but it still holds within it the aggression, patriotism, and competition of war. This part that I highlighted here reminds me of just that, as it speaks in ways that "rhymes" ('history doesn't repeat itself, it speaks in rhymes' - Mark Twain) with the baseball metaphor, but in the way that society functions. In saying that, there is patriotism in acadademics, social ways with oral and written language and cultural practices which (like social reproduction) eliminate the competition.

    1. but it still took days or weeks for the actual bushels of grains to travel there so buyers and sellers started completing their transactions over the telegraph because it was faster

      I think this is extremely interesting. The telegraph at this time was being used for buyers to essentially preorder grain, to ensure they maintained the current price it was. This almost reminds me of a combination of modern actions of buying stock and online shopping. As stock fluctuates in price constantly the price of grain back then seemed to as well, therefore by placing a transaction over the telegraph these buys claimed their price and items. Similar to online shopping in how the buyers are purchasing an item not yet in their sites but only exists in theory. By fronting the money or the intention of payment they are reserving the right to the item before it is in their possession.

    1. Those two items considered, it is critical that common outdoor spaces in supportive housing are designed to be open enough to have accidental eyessupervising play and also closed off enough to ensure safety from harmful outdoor elements

      This reminds me of a tv show that I was watching a few days ago where researchers mixed the elderly people from a retirement home with a kindergarten class and the elderly took care of the kids while kids brought back joy into their lives. Overall the elder participants’ health improved drastically and they made great friends with the children. A similar approach maybe helpful here?

    1. More important, society must spend money and time reducing the root causes of violence. I

      it reminds me of the notion of restorative justice vs. punitive justice

    1. Children involved in their learning experiences showing their competencies in different expressive languages

      This reminds me a little bit of Howard Garner and his Different Multiple Intelligences. How each child learns differently. Expression is so important for children. They need these opportunities.

    1. Ther nas but hevynesse and muche sorwe. Page  87      1079 For prively he wedded hire on the morwe,      1080 And al day after hidde hym as an owle,      1081 So wo was hym, his wyf looked so foule.      1082 Greet was the wo the knyght hadde in his thoght,      1083 Whan he was with his wyf abedde ybroght;      1084 He walweth and he turneth to and fro.      1085 His olde wyf lay smylynge everemo,      1086 And seyde, o deere housbonde, benedicitee!      1087 Fareth every knyght thys with his wyf as ye?      1088 Is this the lawe of kyng arthures hous?      1089 Is every knyght of his so dangerous?      1090 I am youre owene love and eek youre wyf;      1091 I am she which that saved hath youre lyf,      1092 And, certes, yet ne dide I yow nevere unright;      1093 Why fare ye thus with me this firste nyght?      1094 Ye faren lyk a man had lost his wit.      1095 What is my gilt? for goddes love, tel me it,      1096 And it shal been amende, if I may.      1097 Amended? quod this knyght, allas! nay, nay!      1098 It wol nat been amended nevere mo.      1099 Thou art so loothly, and so oold also,      1100 And therto comen of so lough a kynde,      1101 That litel wonder is thogh I walwe and wynde.      1102 So wolde God myn herte wolde breste!      1103 Is this, quod she, the cause of youre unreste?      1104 Ye, certeinly, quod he, no wonder is.      1105 Now, sire, quod she, I koude amende al this,      1106 If that me liste, er it were dayes thre,      1107 So wel ye myghte bere yow unto me.      1108 But, for ye speken of swich gentillesse      1109 As is descended out of old richesse,      1110 That therfore sholden ye be gentil men,      1111 Swich arrogance is nat worth an hen.      1112 Looke who that is moost vertuous alway,      1113 Pryvee and apert, and moost entendeth ay      1114 To do the gentil dedes that he kan;      1115 Taak hym for the grettest gentil man.      1116 Crist wole we clayme of hym oure gentillesse,      1117 Nat of oure eldres for hire old richesse.      1118 For thogh they yeve us al hir heritage,      1119 For which we clayme to been of heigh parage,      1120 Yet may they nat biquethe, for no thyng,      1121 To noon of us hir vertuous lyvyng,      1122 That made hem gentil men ycalled be,      1123 And bad us folwen hem in swich degree.      1124 Wel kan the wise poete of florence,      1125 That highte dant, speken in this sentence.      1126 Lo, in swich maner rym is dantes tale:      1127 -- Ful selde up riseth by his brances smale      1128 Prowesse of man, for god, of his goodnesse,      1129 Wole that of hym we clayme oure gentillesse; --      1130 For of oure eldres may we no thyng clayme      1131 But temporel thyng, that man may hurte and mayme.      1132 Eek every wight woot this as wel as I,      1133 If gentillesse were planted natureelly      1134 Unto a certeyn lynage doun the lyne,      1135 Pryvee and apert, thanne wolde they nevere fyne      1136 To doon of gentillesse the faire office;      1137 They myghte do no vileynye or vice.      1138 Taak fyr, and ber it in the derkeste hous      1139 Bitwix this and the mount of kaukasous,      1140 And lat men shette the dores and go thenne;      1141 Yet wole the fyr as faire lye and brenne      1142 As twenty thousand men myghte it biholde;      1143 His office natureel ay wol it holde,      1144

      1079-1144: Basically, the knight marries the hag and then goes into hiding because he's ashamed about how ugly his wife is. He's not happy when he gets into bed with her and he tosses and turns all night. She just lies there, smiling, and asks him if all husbands treat their wives this way. She reminds him she saved his life and has never wronged him. Why won’t he treat her right on the night of their wedding? The knight tells her that it’s because she’s ugly and old. The hag says she can fix that in three days if he treats her better. She then gives him a really long lecture about thinking that rich people are better than poor people. She calls him arrogant, saying that real men are the ones who do the right thing even when nobody is watching. Gentility comes from God, not money.

      Notes: The hag spends so long telling off her husband for being a horrible gentleman that it’s a wonder she even wanted to marry him in the first place. If she knew he would treat her like this, why bother? Did she want his wealth or something?

      There are connections between the tale's prologue and the tale itself. The tale illustrates how "necessary" it is for women to rule over their husbands. The Wyf of Bath herself has had five, so she’d know, right? She basically said in the prologue that she speaks from experience, so can we infer that one of her husbands said things like this to her and she fixed it by lecturing him?

    1. vague

      The word 'vague' seems to repeat quite a lot in descriptions of Constantia's gestures and behaviors. She reminds me of Laura from the Garden Party, having her own inner world nobody knows of. But she's more reserved and reticent, which might stem from her insecurity and dependence on her older sister's views.

    2. What did it mean? What was it she was always wanting? What did it all lead to? Now? Now?

      This moment reminds me of the end of The Garden Party where Laura tries to explain that she has just confronted mortality and can't find any words. Similarly to Laura, I think that Constantia witnessing death in this way is causing her to recognize her own mortality, but rather than be awestruck by it, it's sending her into an existential crisis.

    1. THE MOST UNIVERSAL DEFINITION of the slave is a stranger. Torn from kin and community, exiled from one's country, dishonored and vio-lated, the slave defines the position of the outsider.

      Reminds me of all of the readings I have had to do regarding the treatment of slaves in my US and Latin American classes. Very heavy stuff

    1. If then any one transgresses the prohibition against you, transgress you likewise against him.

      This reminds me of a prayer we did when I was a child (as my family was Christian) - "Forgive us our transgressions, as we forgive those who transgress against us." Is this the opposite?

    1. In about 1956, there was a case of an Indian shot in the Platte Valley of Nebraska; only when courageous citizens in the valley persisted for months in the face of entrenched authorities did justice finally prevail.

      It reminds me a lot of today where public pushing and protests are advocating for justice to crimes, rather than the government actively doing something about it.

    2. the transport agents failed to supply enough food

      Wonder why this transport of supplies failed. Reminds me of when supplies "failed" to reach Natives in earlier events when, in reality, the supplies were sold.

    3. After most of the Choctaws who had attended this conference with Eaton had left, Eaton told the remaining members of the council that if they did not agree to remove, the president would declare war on them and send in the army. They agreed to sell their land, signing the first removal treaty of the Five Nations in the Southeast.

      ugh that's so gross of the united states to go at great lengths to use violence and send the army against the Choctaws if they didn't remove. Reminds me a bit of the situation at Standing Rock not too long ago, though the US army wasn't sent in (ofc different nuances).

    1. which means guarding and protecting the environment in order to respect the ancestors and secure the future.

      It reminds me of the quote "we don't inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children"

    1. Wikipedia invites readers to peer behind the curtain and, if interested, take a place at the controls

      Reminds me of the notion of "hidden transcripts." I wonder if the digital age/digital history offers more hidden transcripts to become public or if it just creates more silences through click-bait and categories such as "most relevant" or "top-rated."

    1. Some sort of organic brain defense has become derigueur in any sort of capital defense

      This reminds me of "affluenza". where a child was acquitted for a drunk driving murder because his family was wealthy, and that because they were so wealthy he didn't know right from wrong.

    1. Take us generally as a people, we are neither lazy nor idle; and considering how little we have to excite or stimulate us,

      This reminds me of things I've read in other papers and journals for this class where the white people talked about their slaves and said that they don't have any good talents, even thought they wouldn't have time to cultivate many talents outside of their work. Or they chastised them for enjoying simple things when they weren't working. I remember one text, it might have been from Jefferson, where he said that the slaves dident need much sleep because they stayed up late after work to do something fun. It is a dammed if they do and dammed if they don't type of thing with anything they would do.

    1. delay that structure up until the student reaches animpasse—a form of failure—and is subsequently unable to generate an adequateway forward

      This reminds me of just in time teaching slightly...just more rapid and structured.

    1. This reminds me of the equisite poems we did in class bc youre able to use two poems and cobine the words from one poem with another and change meaning

    1. Alternatively, environmentally driven epigenetic variation can also result from non‐random epigenetic modifications at specific genes to modify the phenotype according to the prevailing environment, hence corresponding to adaptive phenotypic plasticity (Duncan, Gluckman, & Dearden, 2014).

      This reminds me of what I am doing for my research proposal. The epigenetic variation isn't random because it happens in direct correlation to the fitness of the mother. If the mother has GDM or diabetes then the child is more at risk for developing insulin resistance due to DNA methylation.

    1. She organized an annual fundraising gala in East Glacier Park, using the funding to start a recycling program and other projects. She initiated the first tribal land trust program, the Blackfeet Land Trust, to protect 1,200 acres of crucial grizzly bear habitat. One reporter called her a “dream source,” the person to talk to about any new initiative. And in the middle of it all, in 2005, Cobelldonated a kidney to her husband

      I am currently reading a book called "Out of Mao's Shadow" and it is about the struggle for political change in China. The unkept promises made by the U.S. to the Blackfeet remind me of the promises the Chinese Communist Party made to protect the human rights of its people during the Great Leap Forward, a period in which millions of Chinese citizens starved. Cobell reminds me very much of a Chinese dissident named Lin Zhao who never gave up her principles and risked everything in order to boldly call out the party for its wrongs. I am glad that despite having to singlehandedly face off with behemoth, unfair institutions with the U.S. Government who sought to silence her at every turn, Cobell was not detained from following her conscience to the same extent as Zhao, who was forced to become a martyr at a young age.

    2. After 1820, rather than distribute payment to the tribes directly, the U.S. held the money for the tribes. If a tribe won a money award for illegal taking of their property, the United States held that money as well. The U.S. made the decisions about investing the money, and if a tribe wanted to use it themselves, it had to get federal permission first.

      This reminds me of a sort of classic childhood joke where your parents would hold onto money you got from a relative and you never got it back. Except this was on a much, much grander scale and the severity was much greater in magnitude.

    3. Because few Indians—many of whom could not speak English, much less write—had written wills, this usually meant that property descended to the heirs determined by state intestacy laws.

      Reminds me of the literacy tests African Americans had to take in order to vote.

    1. The legalized form of white racial supremacy that Georgia sought to impose upon the Cherokee Nation and its reservation was ultimately designed to force the tribe to accept removal to an Indian Territory beyond the Mississippi River.

      I have learned of the Trail of Tears and other such Indian Removal in high school, however I have never learned of it to this extent. I think it horrible that such history has failed to be taught in schools. Furthermore, it reminds me of 1930's Germany, and the forced removal of certain ethnic groups. Yet it is not taught in the same way, when in fact they are extremely similar occurrences, and both are driven by such overt racism and cruelty.

    2. To leave them in possession of their country, was to leave the country a wilderness; to govern them as a distinct people, was impossible, because they were as brave and as high spirited as they were fi erce, and were ready to repel by arms every attempt on their independence.21At another point in his opinion, Marshall again uses this language of Indian savagery and implacability to assert that the “character and hab-its of the people whose rights have been wrested from them” provided “some excuse, if not justifi cation,”

      It was definitely an excuse, but racial justification was necessary to expand and assert the new nations order. It kinda reminds me though way after, the logic and rhetoric of Nixon's war on crime reasoning in the Black community, of course both contexts have their nuances.

    3. Amazingly, unlike with the decisions in Dred Scott and Plessy v. Ferguson, the justices of the Supreme Court continue to cite this trio of archaic, racist judicial precedents from the early nineteenth century in their present- day opinions on vitally important questions of Indian rights to property, self government, and cultural surviva

      Which reminds me of the previous class that I took with Prof. Klann on what citizenship is/who it is granted to/how it is constructed is a theme that is involved here in this passage. Just as the US denied citizenship to Dred Scott, they did so with Native Americans by creating or using vague language to uphold racial exclusion.

    1. I believe it is strongly supported by thought experiments describ-ing the gradual replacement of neurons by silicon chips. The remarkable implication is that consciousness might someday be achieved in machines

      This reminds me of the Eva situation. She most certainly had a brain and mind, but did that make her conscious? Her brain/mind was not human like, but rather man made. I feel as if it failed to create true thoughts and emotions, but rather made her replicate what a conscious human would do. She would never experience it however. This makes me think that replacing neurons with silicon chips would also fail to carry over true consciousness.

    2. the subjective, inner life of the mind

      This reminds me of how we had to defend against if Ava was able to have the subjective experience of emotions. Did she have a "inner life of the mind"?

    1. If a solid lighter than a given fluid be forced into lhat fluid the solid will be driven upwards again by a force which is equal to the difference between the weight of the fluid and the weight of the amount of fluid displaced.

      This reminds me of forcing things underwater just to see them shoot back up out of it with my friends when I was younger. It was funny till you're the one that got hit by it.

    1. using Angry Birds as an intro to Physics.

      Reminds me of how I made ice cream in 3rd grade to try to facilitate some interest in some kind of science

    1. he capacity for listening and reciprocal expectation is an important quality,

      This reminds me to give children the time to do this. I thing we often skip this as adults because we are expected to be efficient and productive. All to often that is pushed on to children as well.

    2. task of those who ducate is not only to allow the differen es to be expressed, but to make it possible for them to be negotiated and nurtured through exchanging and comparing ideas.

      This reminds me of an ongoing exchange between two 4yos in my context- we are exploring leaves and one boy recently expressed "The leaves are like the tree's mouth.", to which another replied "No! The roots are the tree's mouth!" This debate is ongoing and recently evolved into the latter child stating "The roots and the leaves are the tree's mouths...and they eat their own mouth!"I am thrilled to be part of this exploration and grateful for having these listening principles to guide my participation.

    1. “Namasté (the God in me sees and honors the God in you).”When I had the privilege of teaching a gr

      This reminds me of Danny Silks, "Culture of Honor: Sustaining a Supernatural Environment." It is the Christian call to return that culture back to one of honor. Namaste, which recognizes the elephant in the room, the spiritual component and influence of something outside self that shines and lights and inspires, surely will not require agreement on religion but it certainly does call forth the principle of honor which should be present in all religions. Surely we can meet there and learners, who have observed or participated in the slicing, dishonor of social media will welcome learning a more honorable way. I agree with Koch, surely, it's time. We just practiced the mutual blessing of namaste in our online writing circle and I believe it did charge our time as we moved through the PQS protocol.

    1. We did not ask questions onlyto discover what the children know and don’t know.Weasked open questions in order to create a groupcontext in which we could share our opinions and ourpoints of view, a context in which we could constructnew knowledge

      This reminds me of the importance of a question posed to the children. One, it must be broad and open-ended in nature. Second, I must consider the purpose of the question being asked.

    1. who had three daughters of surpassing beauty.

      The family having three daughters with the youngest having some outstanding characteristic reminds me of a children's book I read in elementary school. If only I could remember the name of it! This seems to be trope in lots of stories though, take Cinderella for example.

    2. Though the elder two were extremely pleasing, still it was thought they were only worthy of mortal praise; but the youngest girl’s looks were so delightful, so dazzling, no human speech in its poverty could celebrate them, or even rise to adequate description.

      This reminds me of Cinderella, with the 2 jealous step-sisters.

    1. with singers in the middle and then people would whirl faster and faster and finally some of them would collapse into trances of their own and when they awoke they would tell of the things that they

      This reminds me of Whirling Dervishes. Dancing and dancing to come fully into the present moment/mysticism/connection with God.

    1. my infinite brain

      Oothoon's recognitiont that her own brain is infinite is very powerful at a time when women wer told the opposite. Blake gives glimpses of how through the powerful nature of Oothoon and her self determination/ fierce desire to control her own experience. This reminds me of the courage and dtermination of Prince, who must have brought hope to many other women in her position, as she was determined to demonstrate the rights she should have against a society oppressing her.

    1. all while working to preserve our planet.

      in the PBS article they spoke how early enslaved people's farms were organic and they compost, this reminds me of that mentality.

    1. "It had never been a thought that I had been raped. I was more freaked out that I didn't enjoy it. Nate was p***ed.

      This reminds me of what we just talked about in class about how men don't realize they have been raped because of this wrongful notion that men are supposed to enjoy sex all the time no matter what, that they want sex all time, and that it was cool that he didn't even have to try. The way that people approach this made it so the person in this story said he felt weak for not enjoying it and didn't even consider it to be rape until someone told him it actually was.

    1. We're off to never-never land

      There is a lot of repetition throughout this piece, and it also seems like this entire piece is composed of smaller old familiar pieces (prayer, hush little baby, etc). A lot of the phrases are all ones I've heard before, but each in their own previous story. Combining older phrases together gives them new meaning and I like that. I highlighted "We're off to never-never land" because it reminds me of Peter Pan, and I think that flying away to Neverland is the best way to describe what it's like to have a dream. Something comes in the night and takes you away from reality, to a place where anything can happen, good or bad. You fly away in the night to a new world and you can leave the old world behind. That is exactly what a dream is like in my opinion. Peter Pan definitely makes a perfect Sandman. I really do appreciate the symbolism throughout this piece.

    1. Insulin affects the glucose, or blood sugar, level of some diabetics according to the function G(x)=−0.2x2+450,G(x)=−0.2x2+450,

      After reading this section, it really stuck with me. My grandmother had diabetes and had to take insulin. In my previous job as a firefighter, there were many times when I got called to a medical emergency and had to help the patient administer insulin. This example not only reminds me of insulin but all medicines that doctors, nurses, medical personnel give there patients and need to know how the patient is taking to it.

    1. The nation’s debt hit the $1 billion markin 1863 and the $1 trillion mark in 1981

      1861 was the start of the Civil War. The civil war could be classified as a race war. Also an economic war. All Wars are Banker's wars. This reminds me of the first funding of Head Start. Head Start only received a small amount of federal budget funds in the 1960s and 1970s , while the Vietnam War budget received trillions.

    1. It included three philosophers, among them Carneades.

      Possibly due to my Christian background, this reminds me of King Herod sending the three wise men

    1. If we have to learn this from video games, and not from afield with as boring a name as cognitive science, then so be it.

      Reminds me of how kids don't tend to think their creative work counts if it's done in the classroom

    1. Make no noise, make no noise; draw the curtains:so, so, so. We'll go to supper i' he morning. So, so, so. Fool And I'll go to bed at noon.

      Here is a bit of comedy. This reads to me as the old timey looking at the camera and telling a joke. The Fool is poking fun at how Lear is losing some of his marbles, specifically his mixing up that supper is eaten in the morning. It serves as a funny joke, but also the systems in place. It reminds us that Lear is older and not at the mental capacity he once was. I am sure that some people have said that he suffers from some mental illness. That thought stays in my mind through the play: Lear does not seem to be fully there mentally, so is he at complete fault for his actions?

    2. 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. I like this, mostly because it allows me to write small components without creating another separate sub-component for holding the value simple computation. I get annoyed every time I need to create a component just to hold a variable, or even move the computation away from the relevant location. It reminds me of the days where variables in C had to be declared at the top of the function.
    1. He argues that making digital games accessible to a wider audiencebenefits everyone by providing opportunities for play across communities.

      Reminds me of games that have custom controls, allowing all kinds of people (like people who play one handed due to a disability) being able to join the fun as well

    1. articulate

      When looking up the definition of articulate, it says "having or showing the ability to speak fluently or coherently". When hearing this in the context of how it was used though it reminds me the saying "you sound/talk white".

    1. they did not have title to their land—that belonged to the US, but they did have the rights of use and occupancy

      What's the point of this?If those on the land are occupying, maintaining the land that is rightfully theirs, why can't it be in their name? This makes no sense to me and reminds me of the current Armenia-Azerbaijian conflict happening. Armenians have occupied the land for decades and have been in that region for thousands of years, with several cultural and religious sites on Nagorno-Karabakh land, but the land is still not internationally recognized as Armenia's by the bureaucracy.

    2. The Court ruled that the state of Georgia did not have criminal jurisdiction to prosecute a state offense that occurred in Cherokee country. 

      This reminds me of when the United States has convicts flee to Mexico but cannot do anything because the lack jurisdiction unless given permission. One country, to another.

    1. A chef came to talk to me, I finished my bowl, and halfway through the conversation, he stopped talking and he started frowning into my bowl.

      This narrative reminds me of another factor in the global food waste issue -- portion sizes. It seems that research proves the connection between portion sizes and obesity; however, there might be a connection between oversized portions and food waste.

      I remember being a young child sitting at the kitchen table and hearing a lecture from my parents if I did not eat everything on my plate (and, yes, this lecture always contained a reminder that there were other children in the world who may not have had the luxury of a dinner that day). But as an adult, I consider the many times I take too much food and then leave it to be discarded in the trash. If I make it a habit to take smaller portions -- or even use smaller plates! -- I can contribute to solving this issue.

    1. There is an important lesson here. In the form in which it first appeared, the earth's life system had an inherently fatal fault: the energy it required was derived from the consumption of a nonrenewabl,e resource,

      Reminds me of our reliance on nonrenewable resources to this day.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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)

    5. 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
    6. 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. During the past four years the discussion around the causes of our polluted information ecosystem has focused almost entirely on actions taken (or not taken) by the technology companies.

      I agree with this statement so much because this reminds me of the things FACEBOOK is doing to stop having all this misinformation floating around in people's timelines and it is hard for these companies ,but FACEBOOK has taken the lead in trying to reduce the amount of misinformation on it's sites.

    2. 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.

  2. inst-fs-iad-prod.inscloudgate.net inst-fs-iad-prod.inscloudgate.net
    1. inequality not only exists, but is deeply structured into society in ways that secure its reproduction.

      Kind of reminds me of affirmative action. For example, I know inequality doesn't exist, so affirmative action is placed in order to help level the field

    2. 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.

    3. 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"

    4. 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.

    5. 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?

    6. 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.

    7. 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.

    8. 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.

    9. 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.

    10. 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. According to Horton, the central ideas of a myth are regarded as sacred. There is anxiety about threats to them

      This reminds me of a myth about a young women who was chased up a cliff by Indians in my hometown that had to commit suicide

    1. In South Asia, where the history of scientific forestry has perhaps been most fully documented, the forest department quickly became a reviled arm of the colonial state. When a comprehensive Indian Forest Act was enacted in 1878-to supersede a preliminary Act of 1865-the government was warned, by a dissenting official that the new legislation would leave ‘a deep feeling of injustice and resentment amongst our agricultural communities;’ indeed, the act might ‘place in antagonism to Government every class whose support is desired and essential to the object in view [i.e. forest conservation], from the Zamindar [landlord] to the Hill Toda [tribal]. These words were far-sighted, for once the act was in place, peasant and tribal groupings resisted the operations of the Forest Department in all kinds of ways: through arson, breaches of the forest law, attacks on officials and on government property, and quite often, through co-ordinated and collective social movements aimed at restoring local control over forests.

      Contextualize

      When I read, “In South Asia, where the history of scientific forestry has perhaps been most fully documented, the forest department quickly became a reviled arm of the colonial state”. It reminds me that “Ecological Imperialism” from previous reading. The majority of those Asian countries that colonized by Europeans are following their way of environmentalism. However, is this the right way to apply one method to all the occupied lands? In “Ecological Imperialism,” Crosby states that “The human invaders and their descendants have consulted their egos, rather than ecologists, for explanations of their triumphs. But the human victims, the aborigines of the Lands of the Demographic Takeover, knew better, knew they were only one of many species being displaced and replaced; knew they were victims of something more irresistible and awesome than the spread of capitalism or Christianity”. Human has always been arrogant concerning nature. Humans did not realize the importance of nature for a long time and how we cannot live without nature. We must have enough knowledge of the landscape we are about to take action before doing our work. The experience we have can limit the negative impacts that we may do on the environment surrounding.

      Crosby, A. W. (1988). Ecological Imperialism: The Overseas Migration of Western Europeans as a Biological Phenomenon. In The ends of the earth: Perspectives on modern environmental history (pp. 103-117). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

      Relate

      There are many examples of humans taking advantage of nature in the colonized period and modern times due to the anthropocentric. That results in most of the natural ecosystem was damages during those human actions. For example, the Longleaf Pine ecosystem was once widely covered the southeastern region in the United States. Due to the fire burning and the timber industry's needs, the whole Longleaf Pine ecosystem was sharp decreasing in very short. Therefore, one of the most covered ecosystems became the most endangered ecosystem in the United States.

      Ecology imperialism is apropos to describe the relation human and nature has, even though today many people have cared about nature's sustainability. However, humans have not found the right balance between us and nature, and it is imperative to figure that out. We are not the only living species existing on the earth. We are sharing it with thousands of other species. It is also essential to think the future generations, think it sustainably, what are we giving them if we take actions into nature with no control.

    1. Most people seem to follow one of two strategies - and these strategies come under the umbrella of tree-traversal algorithms in computer science.

      Deciding whether you want to go deep into one topic, or explore more topics, can be seen as a choice between two types of tree-traversal algorithms: depth-first and breadth-first.

      This also reminds me of the Explore-Exploit problem in machine learning, which I believe is related to the Multi-Armed Bandit Problem.

    1. Therefore let everyone that is out of Christ, now awake and fly from the wrath to come. The wrath of almighty God is now undoubtedly hanging over great part of this congregation: let everyone fly out of Sodom. Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed

      This reminds me of the book of Micah 6:8 ,He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good ;and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God.

    2. O sinner! Consider the fearful danger you are in

      This quote reminds me of the story of Jeremiah when he preaches God's words to the people to not move to Egypt so they will not go back to the wrong doings of idolizing and worshiping others. "consider the fearful danger you are in" are words Jeremiah would have said.

    3. 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 am she: I am he whose drowned face sleeps with open eyes whose breasts still bear the stress

      This reminds me of the personification many explorers attribute to the Titanic; it emphasizes the tragedy of such an event. By being giving human characteristics ("whose drowned face sleeps with open eyes") the reader is allowed and encouraged to imagine someone brought down, trapped beneath the waves, helpless and silenced. In that context, I feel the author is using that as a metaphor for a person's story going untold, or silenced altogether.

    1. That very fact made photography irresistible to black writers as a mode of both counter-protest and introspection

      I wonder if Ellison, as photographer, viewed this role as bridging the gap between visibility and invisibility. It reminds me of Susan Sontag’s description of a photograph from one of her essays in On Photography : both a “pseudo-presence and a token of absence.” IM, through his “act of sabotage” of stealing power from Monopolated, is exerting both his presence and his absence (light as vessel for photography, light as illumination)—“Nothing, storm or flood, must get in the way of our need for light and ever more and brighter light. The truth is the light and light is the truth.”

    1. As we have seen through these peyote myths, ritual roles, art, song, and prayers, the female archetypal themes of community, nurturing, and creativity, are ever present.

      Reminds me of the Amazon myth.

    1. There are in all nearly 100 scholars ; they are improving fast, many of them can read and write and are fast learning to talk the language of the white people

      The Native Americans knew that they need to assimilate to white culture in order to be more accepted. This reminds me of our society today, because of social classes, who deem certain qualities as "better" than others.

    1. teachers hid their Facebook accounts for fear of being fired.

      The sound of this to me know reminds me of the type of suppression of thought that might have occurred in the middle ages.

      Of course open thought and discussion is important for teachers the same way it is for every other person. However there are a few potential counterexamples where open discussion of truly abhorrent ideas can run afoul of community mores.

      Case in point:

    1. In short to add wiki-style functionality to my blog, the only functionality that is really needed is that 1) I myself have a edit button on static items, 2) the ability to categorise and tag those items, and 3) keep those items outside of the blog posting stream on the front page, and outside of the RSS feed. WordPress pages fit that description, when I’m logged in, and after adding a plugin to allow categories and tags on pages. So a page based section it is, or rather, will be over time.

      I like the idea of this and the overall structure. It reminds me a bit of Wikity which may provide this functionality plus a bit more. I really need to spin up a version and play around with it to see if it will give me what I'm looking for in terms of a blog linked with wiki-like functionality.

    1. mmentary. It also includes many annotated newspaper and magazine articles.An articMaha Bali2 weeks agowould be nice to include a screenshot. Also, I feel like I need to read up on Cambodian history to understand the significance of this particular royal - you don’t explicitly talk about how he is using power here. Was he trying to influence public opinion, was he just annotating for his own knowledge and learning, what kind of power is at play here?(I also wonder if the whole leaders having “right to express freely their view” does not work to anyone’s favor in the case of Donald Trump, so I would contest this strongly. That freedom of expression for political leaders maybe should be weighted differently than for the general population, no? As it has broader consequences for the entire country or even the world…

      I nearly added it above in the opening, but Maha’s comment reminds me of it again. In a countercultural way, a web developer created a browser plugin that will re-format all of Donald Trump’s tweets to appear as if they were written in crayon by an eight year old: http://maketrumptweetseightagain.com/

      While not technically annotation in a “traditional” form discussed in the text so far—though close from the perspective of the redaction technique mentioned above—, by reformatting the font of Trumps tweets, it completely changes their context, meaning, and political weight.

    1. The other reason I am writing it, however, is that I know that many of my fellow exvies have, like me, struggled for years to make an open break with their families because of the pressure to conform that comes from inherently abusive fundamentalist socialization.

      Some of this reminds me of the insularity and abusive practices of the Hasidim in the recent documentary One of Us. I think there are more pockets of people living like this than most people admit or we as a society should allow.

      I also think there's a link to Fukuyama's growth of politics here which is highlighted by Jonah Goldberg's Suicide of the West.

    1. In ed tech, schools are the customers, but students are the users.

      This also reminds me of the market disconnect between students and their textbooks. Professors are the ones targeted for the "sale" or adoption when the actual purchasers are the students. This causes all kinds of problems in the way the textbook market works and tends to drive prices up--compared to a market in which the student directly chooses their textbook. (And the set up is not too dissimilar to how the healthcare industry works in which the patient (customer) is making a purchase of health care coverage and not actually the health care itself.

    1. They also found themselves unable to sustain and organize in the long term in a manner proportional to the energy they had been able to attract initially and the legitimacy they enjoyed in their demands.

      This reminds me of an excellent example I heard recently on Scene on Radio's Men series which tells the story of a rape which occurred several years prior to the bus boycott that helped to rally the community and make the bus boycott far more successful than it would have been without the prior incident and local reportage.

      The relevant audio begins (with some background) at approximately 22:40 into the episode.

    1. Mutual aid societies were built on the razed foundations of the old  guilds, and cooperatives and mass political parties then drew on the  experience of the mutual aid societies."

      This reminds me of the beginning of the Civil Rights movement that grew out of the civic glue that arose out of prior work relating to rape cases several years prior.

      I recall Zeynep Tufekci writing a bit about some of these tangential ideas in some of her social network writing. (Where's the link to that?)

    1. I gleaned everything I could from vital records, city directories, and village maps, then pieced together context from town records, newspaper reports, and regi-mental histories.

      This type of work is fascinating to me, reminds me of being a detective but thankfully without the stakes of a crime having been committed.

    1. But grading for learning is, to paraphrase a 1960’s-era slogan, rather like bombing for peace.

      Reminds me of some quotes from George Orwell's 1984

      "War is peace" "Freedom is slavery" "Ignorance is strength"

    2. 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. What bothers me are the maudlin videos produced out of someone’s intense, private moment that are then taken out of context and broadcast around the world. What bothers me is how the viewer never learns how the individual came to the decision about their implant, which factors they took into account, whether their medical insurance covered it. Sometimes we don’t even learn their names.

      This reminds me of a topic that we learned about in my LGBTQ identities class a couple semesters ago. The topic was the Medical Gaze and how the individual's identity was sort of stripped away from them, while people only focused on "what was wrong" or something that was "abnormal". Similar to what the writer stated, these photos and videos are often broadcasted to the world without the name of the patient/individual being named.

    1. the improbable few. The ‘critical yeast’ — these small, unlikely, combinations of persistent people and partnerships committed to a new quality of relationship — dwell before and behind every instance of social change

      Reminds me of that Margaret Mead quote: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

    2. WHAT WE PRACTICE, WE BECOME.

      Reminds me of that quote from Evan Almighty where God says: 'If people pray for patience, does God gives them patience, or opportunities to be patient?' Why can't gain virtues just through asking or via theoretical knowledge alone, it's in the doing of them that we get better at them.

    1. Neolin visited the Master of Life and had taken his message back to the Delawares

      Neolin reminds me Wovoka, a spiritual leader who brought the message of the Ghost Dance to many Indians looking for hope against their diminishing population caused by the Europeans

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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.

    5. 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. “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. 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.

    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. 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. 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. 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".

    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

    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.

    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.

      This reminds me of a teacher I had in high school that used competitive games as a way to get her students to learn vocabulary words-- (you could talk about this more in your paper!)
