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

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

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

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

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

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

    1. Practice Rhetorical Analysis

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      trial

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      reminds me of Beck's "Life Stories"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Isaac Davis : The steel cube was brilliant?

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

    1. I will incontinently drown myself.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    1. These were matchless in the bulk of their bodies and invincible in their might; terrible of aspect did they appear, with long locks drooping from their head and chin, and with the scales of dragons for feet.2

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    2. relationship between meaning and materiality

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    1. ir own

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

    2. but children's "voices" can be

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

    3. Teachers

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

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

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

    1. a forking ar-rangement

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

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

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

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

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

    3. fallacious memory represents ever existed

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

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

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

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

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

    1. the right to self-expression,

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

    1. When he had disentangled the elements,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    5. This conflict was ended by a god and a greater order of nature, since he split off the earth from the sky, and the sea from the land, and divided the transparent heavens from the dense air.

      This reminds me of the myth of Pan Gu, who had to split the earth and sky apart, and had to push them further apart each day.

    6. And the Nymphs nurtured the child on a mixture of honey and milk

      Reading this reminds me of how as a kid, I had to drink more milk to be tall and strong and had honey for when I was sick.

    7. Either the creator god, source of a better world, seeded it from the divine, or the newborn earth just drawn from the highest heavens still contained fragments related to the skies, so that Prometheus, blending them with streams of rain, moulded them into an image of the all-controlling gods

      I love how here, humankind contains elements of the earth itself. "Fragments related to the skies", "blended with streams of rain", how beautiful! Maybe this is why we feel such a pull to nature, it's like a call back home. Also, made in the "image of the all-controlling gods" reminds me of Christianity, where it's stated that mankind is made in the image (with the breath) of God. Another correlation between two creation myths!

    8.   First it was Chaos, and next broad-bosomed Earth, ever secure seat of all the immortals, who inhabit the peaks of snow-capped Olympus, and dark dim Tartaros in a recess of Earth having-

      "First there was darkness, then there was light." is what this reminds me of. It seems a lot of the creation myths like to say that the world was born out of darkness and chaos.

    1. growth

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

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

    1. "A"—Second Movement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      This reminds me of our small group discussion on safety.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    3. Language is a male discourse.

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

    4. "We're going to have to control your tongue,"

      This reminds me of how we have freedom of speech in the U.S., but we are punished for when we speak out against the wrongdoings of this country.

    5. 36 GLORIA ANZALOOA communicating the realities and values true to themselves -a language with terms that are neither espa/;al "i ingles, but both. We speak a patois, a forked tongue, a variation of two languages. Chicano Spanish sprang out of the Chicanos' need to identify ourselves as a distinct people. We needed a language with which we could communicate with ourselves, a secret language.

      This reminds me of what people now call aave, but also know as ebonics. When you can't assimilate fully, then you find a way for your community to thrive in their own way.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    2. (Pg. 260) "Each time I heard the approaching footsteps, I jumped back into bed and feigned sleep."

      This reminds me of myself when I was younger. I was so passionate about and obsessed with books that on school nights I stayed up late just reading and pretended to be asleep when my dad checked on me.

    3. pg 266 "In fact, prison enabled me to study far more intensively.." this reminds me of when I used to buy workbooks and they would make me work and study way more than normal. They were so fun and addicting workbook pages I just kept working and working, learning and learning.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    4. wait a little

      This is the third time that Sergeant Cuff is saying “Wait a little” to Betteredge. This phrase, although creating an aura of mystery/suspense, reminds me of the request at the beginning of the novel to the family to suspend judgment until the story is over (and thus maybe is a reminder to the reader?). However, the phrase is also kind of funny to me because at this point, “wait[ing] a little” to the audience really has the opposite effect, despite the suspense the phrase creates: instead of putting down the book and literally waiting, we actually want to keep reading. This makes me think that there might be an interesting way to measure suspense in literature (this one being some kind of technique through reverse psychology?)

    5. Including the family, they were twenty-four in all. It was a noble sight to see, when they were settled in their places round the dinner-table

      I really enjoy the "dinner party mystery" trope, and am super excited to see it here. I found this scene as a whole to be extremely entertaining and humorous, and I think the campiness of the characters and the painful awkwardness of the dialogue heightened the drama and the wacky vibe of the novel. (sidenote: it reminds me of the game Clue). I also imagine that Victorian readers found this scene to be extremely entertaining and relatable, especially upper-class women who frequently hosted dinner parties.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    1. They misunderstood the cause of my tears,

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

    2. Soothing my impatience, my mother said aloud, "My little daughter is anxious to hear your legends."

      This reminds me of my hispanic culture. We have many family gatherings in which my grandparents would always tell us about stories and experiences they had growing up.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    1. learner-driven, playful, and open-ended inquiry in contrastto test-driven, text-based, and teacher-centered science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education

      The role of the facilitator is really interesting to me in this context. It sort of reminds me of elements of ‘play theory’ that encourage students to lead activities, because naturally they will gravitate to what is developmentally fulfilling. Often there is an emphasis on caution above all else in a classroom, and although it’s not easy, I think there are certain points where we ought to release that control based on assessed risks and developmental stages of students. In short I think to truly be 'learner driven' we should let students break stuff sometimes, and I hope this source would agree.

    1. Pro-Innovation or Anti-Innovation Bias

      This reminds me of when a social media app updates, like Instagram,and at first everyone complains and says that the update is horrible. Then, over time people get used to it and stop complaining about it.

    1. Residents in these sacrifi ce zones where the factories were concentrated knew that more affl uent whites did not have to endure the kind of heavy pollution that rained down on their side of town, but few of them could afford to pro-tect themselves by moving.

      This reminds me of the video we watched about the Flint water crisis. The residents were becoming ill but a lot of them weren't completely aware about how bad it was until later. It became a part of their normal and had to find ways to live around the problem, because there wasn't much else to do.

    1. The divide was always there if you were willing to look. Living side by side is not the same as living in solidarity, not when you’ve been given the scraps of prosperity and told it’s enough to feed you and yours.

      This sentence, at the end of the article stuck out to me. I really like the way the author of this article made it personal. "The divide was always there if YOU were willing to look.", the way the author put this on the reader makes you feel liable in a sense, makes you feel you should've done something about this issue. The second sentence reminds me of the phrase "equality isn't the same as equity". Just living side by side doesn't mean you have the same experiences or struggles as the others living next to you.This is moving and powerful as well.

    1. I was intrigued by this being organized by books. It reminds me of the Bible in a way. It also has titles of each book like book one is The Argument. This is similar to the bible however the bible is titled in names.

    1. “entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally,” anywhere they are outnumbered because they are part of “the advanced race.”)

    1. iewed the languages, literacies, and cultural ways of being of many students and com-munities of color as deficiencies to be overcome in learning the demanded and legitimized dominant language, literacy, and cul-tural ways of schooling

      This reminds me of my experience as the oldest of immigrant parents from Mexico and learning English through school. My elementary school wanted to put me in ESL in the 1990 but my mother refused because she did not want me to be viewed as unintelligent or deficient. She told me years later that she knew I would figure English out and did not want me to be treated or viewed differently because I only knew Spanish. Not only this but at home we were only allowed to speak Spanish because my mother would say that in the U.S. to assimilate you have to leave a part of who you are, your culture and heritage and we were Mexican and always would be. For someone who was new to the country and had little education she understood this concept and how I would be perceived and she did not want that to hold me back or influence how I viewed myself. This way of thinking is very damaging to students academically and personally.

    1. The knowledge it aims at is the kind of knowledge which gives unity and system to the body of the sciences, and the kind which results from a critical examination of the grounds of our convictions, preju-dices, and beliefs

    2. he knowledge it aims at is the kind of knowledge which gives unity and system to the body of the sciences,

Relative to science, the tip of the iceberg could be science and the bottom of the iceberg is philosophy which searches for the greater depth and meaning behind what is visibly observed

His comparison to learning to write and read in english to a foreign and difficult language, puts a frustrating visual into the readers head. reminds me of when i was a child and would pretend to read chapter books, when the words on the pages looked like alien hieroglyphics.

    2. I spent two days just riffling uncertainly through the dictionary’s pages.

I have learned more about how difficult it is to launch crafts into space from this game alone than any other textbook could ever teach me.

    1. Following the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision in 19 73, anti-abortion activists became solidified as a political minority, and minority politics are often focused on rights and legal challenges.

      This reminds me of an article I read in one of my other Legal Studies courses titled "Roe Rage" -- and the notion of democratic constitutionalism. Within this realm of thought, it has been noted that an adoption of what people considered to be enumerated rights in the constitution by groups of people (in this case, conservative enclaves) have been used to provide the backlash for their own movement.

    2. Some of their issue positions are quite different too, though others are merely refashioned with the veneer of rights talk. In the process, the culture wars have been refashioned.

      It's really interesting to see how conservatives use euphemisms to make their once "controversial" policies/beliefs sound more socially acceptable. This reminds me of J.B. White's "Law as Rhetoric, Rhetoric as Law", in which White examines the central role of rhetoric (namely, diction) in composing an effective legal argument. In this piece, White advances the notion that the same legal argument can be construed in various ways, all of which convey a distinct message- all based on word choice. It would seem that conservatives, too, utilize liberalized diction to win cases and establish their policies in a socially acceptable manner.

    3. their focus on rights is centered more on political individualism than expres­sive individualism.

      This ideological distinction reminds me of Jazz's earlier annotation regarding conservatives using law to bolster what directly benefits them, but not necessarily everyone (the example used being that conservative Christians might espouse religious freedom, yet simultaneously be opposed to a Mosque being built in a predominantly Christian area). In this case, I see Jazz's point much more clearly, so this is some evidence of that!

    4. “ culture war.”

      This reminds me of customs and norms. In the United States where our social solidarity is very organic, it makes sense that we have this "war" on who's morals and norms are the correct ones to follow. It is interesting to think about how religious communities are turning away from the idea that they should have laws that reflect their society's morals to embracing individual rights.

    1. Abstractness, or the non-figurative, has in itself still not proved to be an altogether necessary moment in the self-criticism of pictorial art,

      This reminds me of the quote by Danto stating that "Abstract painting is not without content". I am relating Danto's quote to this sentence by Greenberg because in Greenberg's sentence he is stating that Abstract art is not necessary in the self-criticism of pictorial art. Pictures have subject matter whereas abstract paintings do not, indicating that they can not be a base line criteria for pictorial art. One is without the other.

    2. Modernism criticizes from the inside, through the procedures themselves of that which is being criticized.

      This reminds me of how in modern America, we are now beginning to understand and criticize certain systemic issues because we can watch the issues play-out within the foundations which we have created. Legal systems, social systems, and other systems are being criticized internally by the people who must live out the systems.

    3. The apparent contradiction involved was essential to the success of their art, as it is indeed to the success of all pictorial art. The Modernists have neither avoided nor resolved this contradiction; rather, they have reversed its terms.

      I have found so many contradictions in abstract artist philosophy and their actual art, but maybe the contradictions are part of the process, and maybe that is part of my own personal process shedding the more traditional thought forms that I have, forcing me to see things differently. Like Rothko's analysis to flatness leading to transparency and simplicity, I saw this to be very contradicting to his early works were not simplistic at all. They were rather symbolic and complex, and I thought his style looked like child's play. Yet, he defended himself by conjugating the critics (like myself) by reversing the comment.<br> If the critic thought they gained a point, the artist was able to flip it, and negate it. Reminds me of algebra, to find the conjugate of 1 is -1 which equals nothing, in essence artist were able to reverse conjugate their critics, they addressed them but never resolved the citism, in math that would = 0 and nothing can exist over 0, i.e the critics had no argument to hold above the nothingness.

    1. Pollock's choice of great sizes resulted in our being confronted, assaulted, sucked in.

      This reminds me of Rothko's choice to use massive canvases for his paintings, to impress a great effect upon the viewer. The result is something similar to the 19th century idea of the sublime, of being overwhelmed.

    2. America was celebrating a "sanity in art" movement,

      The way in which Kaprow states "sanity in art" movement is very interesting to me. When is there ever sanity in art?!? This phrase reminds me of the Academies in France in the 18th century, I can see a professor saying this and comparing academic art to that of the insane art of the modernists and avant-garde artists.

    3. Objects of every sort are materials for the new art:

      To me this seems like it is the beginning of the use for different objects inserted into art. This statement reminds me of the piece shown in one of the lectures that had sand on it to provide texture.

    1. When and where was the piece originally published? Research the original publication. Does that publication have a perceived bias? Is the original publication highly regarded?

      This instantly reminds me of censorship in many countries today. Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist, was killed in 2018 for his dissident work at The Washington Post. His work was an example of text that broke through censorship. Unlike him, most authors will oblige to how they're told to write. You always have to keep in mind when and where a text was written/published due to censorship around the world whether in a certain region or during a certain era.

    1. Later I had the opportunity of meeting other Indians, Achi Indians, the group that lives the closest to us. And I got to know some Mam Indians too. They all told me: ‘The rich are bad. But not allladinos are bad.’ And I started wondering: ‘Could it be that not allladinos are bad?’ I used to think they were all bad. But they said that they lived with poorladinos. There were poorladinos as well as richladinos, and they were exploited as well. That’s when I began recognizing exploitation. I kept on going down to thefinca but now I really wanted to find out, to prove if that was true and learn all the details. There were poor ladinos in thefinca. They worked the same, and their children’s bellies were swollen like my little brother’s. So I said: ‘It must be true, then, that not allladinos are bad.’ I was just beginning to speak a little Spanish in those days and I began to talk to them. I said to onepoorladino: ‘You’re a poorladino, aren’t you?’ And he nearly hit me. He said: ‘What do you know about it, Indian?’ I wondered: ‘Why is it that when I say poorladinos are like us, I’m spurned?’ I didn’t know then the same system which tries to isolate us Indians also puts up barriers between Indians andladinos. I knew that allladinos rejected us but I didn’t know why. I was more confused. I still thought allladinos were bad.

      The rejection of solidarity from the poor Ladino Menchú interacted with is not surprising. The colonialist powers created such a strong caste system that permeated throughout culture and family. It reminds me of the treatment of African Americans by Afro-Latino or African immigrants. There is a desire to not admit to having the same struggles as the “lowest”. I question this mentality, because if one were to align with the “lowest” and to fight for their freedoms, wouldn’t all other freedoms be included in that revolt? If the poor Ladinos were to just advocate for themselves, the indigenous people would be excluded from this fight, but if they were to fight together with the indigenous people, all of their freedoms would be given. Parallel to America, how BLM can be questioned by non-Black POC as they want to focus on their communities struggles, unaware that if they were to liberate the Black community, their liberation would come along with that.

    2. Prison is a punishment for the poor

      This line really resonated with me because it reminds me of the Prison Industrial Complex that is upheld in the US, where the rich and the government work together and have carefully designed a violent system of imprisonment to punish and oppress a certain group so that the power and money is more and more concentrated within a small group at the top of the ladder. Also the way that the Indigenous people are exploited for their labor, forced out of their homes, and deceived by the government all reflect the same internal and external exploitation that occur at the hands of the US government.

    1. Bailey describes how his classmate’s speech on affirmative action made him feel that he did not belong at the university. Bailey felt silenced because he felt that if he cri-tiqued his classmate’s speech, he would have been playing the “race card.”

      This comment makes me think of my own experience during my senior year of high school. One of my friends, although joking, said "oh you'll be fine getting into a good college, you're Asian, a girl, and from Maine." This definitely made me wonder if I had had to work as hard to get where I was or if I had been given things due to my identifying traits.

      This also reminds me of the school scandals and when Asain-American students sued Harvard over affirmative action last year. I didn't follow the case too closely, but I wonder how this trial affected how students viewed affirmative action, especially how white students viewed the case and what happened afterwards considering the thoughts of classmates Bailey describes.

    1. cultural forms that continue to resonate powerfully as part of what Raymond Williams calls a "selective tradition" (115).14

      Williams says that the selective tradition chooses cultural work-art/literature- to highlight and obscure based on the dominant ideology. Work that maintains the dominant ideology-capitalism- is generally highlighted and canonized, while work that is truly subversive is hidden and obscured. This is a somewhat unconscious process. So when we think about why we study Marlowe, and why he has been canonized we have to consider that the reason the culture keeps selecting him may be because he maintains the dominant ideological structure. This reminds me of Bartel and all of those critics from our first readings claiming that Marlowe is truly subversive. While he may have been for his own time, perhaps he isn't for ours and instead upholds our current culture of capitalist globalization.

    1. Contextualize Water has always been using a lot in the ancient Chinese thinkers’ philosophy; everything is called wanwu (万物) in Chinese is derived from water. However, according to the different philosophers in ancient China, there are always the various meaning of water. In the reading, Confucius said, “What passes is perhaps like this: day and night it never lets up.” (1997, Allan 11). It expresses the thoughts of how time changes frequently, even it did not mention water in the saying, but it is metaphors that time is just like water; when it flows past, it will not come back. When I finished the reading, it reminds me of a saying in Analects, “The Master said, ‘The wise find pleasure in water; the virtuous find pleasure in hills. The wise are active; the virtuous are tranquil. The wise are joyful; the virtuous are long-lived.” Back in high school, when I learned this, my Chinese teacher explained this saying to us that wise and virtuous are both excellent characters that gentleman should have. However, different in different periods, a gentleman is looking for different characters. When they are young, they are more active like water, and when the gentleman gets older, they are more mature like hills. Now think back to the saying “What passes is perhaps like this: day and night it never lets up.”, I have different thoughts, time will pass by and will not come back, but the process of the time is different; it is changing by the time.

    1. Obviously, if a par-ticular activity is to yield sustained happinesschange, the person must keep performing theactivity over the long term.

      this reminds me of the idea of hedonia vs. eudaimonia -- if a person wants eudaimonia, it's harder because it takes more effort over a longer period of time

    1. Constrains block our thinking and idea generation. Naturally, we consider constraints as soon as an idea germinates, so eliminating even some of these constraints can encourage creative idea generation; for example, ask participants “What if there is no gravity, how can we improve the flying experience?”

      This reminds me of the process of listing out your assumptions to then question them. Are they the same?

      This poem reminds me of Papa Po. He liked it when I sent it to him at the start of our first year teaching AP together.

    1. Use the cards to be inspired individually first

      This reminds me of an artists table of inspiration where a round table was made of movable rings full of nouns, verbs, and adjectives that could be manipulated and rearranged like these cards.

    1. It's much more than an environmental issue; it's also a civil and human rights issue.

      This sentence reminds me of the last article we read about how one cannot be an environmentalist and racist.

    2. We need to make sure that people of color are a part of the business community and workforce building these new systems.

      This reminds me of the readings from the first week when we learned all about what environmental justice is and about how in order to resolve climate issues we need to put the people who are most often adversely affected by them in a position of decision making power

      This description reminds me of an article I read about how expansionists had to essentially battle swarms of locusts out west. I wonder if the difficulties of clearing out land like that reinforced industrialist ideas that clearing out the land was improving it.

    2. Thegullsarehoveringoverthelakealready,andtheheavensarealivewithpigeons.

      This depiction kind of reminds me of the reading we did about early settlers who assumed the land to be plentiful. In this case, it's almost detrimental for them to deal with wild pigeons regularly.

    1. We noticed similar reading behaviors that were considered errors on informal reading invento-ries and running records of previously read texts, but over time, we grew to understand that those “errors” reflected students’ strengths and current proficiency with English as they approximated book language.

      This reminds me of what we talk about in class. That every student has strengths they bring to the classroom. You have to look for them.

    1. If you grow up think-ing that porn sex is normal sex you may not have the tools to negotiate the kind of sex that works for you.

      This reminds me of this interview with a porn actress whose mission was to repeat this message to those that watch porn regularly the fact that it is not reality- what her and others in the pornography industry are showing are a fantasy, and not representative of what normal relationships and sex always look like

    1. In answer to this, it has been claimed that the Negro can survive only through submission. Mr. Washington distinctly asks that black people give up, at least for the present, three things, — First, political power, Second, insistence on civil rights, Third, higher education of Negro youth,– and concentrate all of their energies on industrial education, the accumulation of wealth, and the conciliation of the South.

      Here W.E.B Dubois is showcasing some arguments or disagreements between himself and Washington. Washington reminds me of Martin Luther King and his peaceful protest and mild mannerism. Washington wanted for unity within the south between the whites and African Americans by working their way up to become a superior wealthy negro and in a ways "proving" their right to be free and active in the field and strong workers in their communities. Dubois on the other hand wanted all rights legally fought for and obtained. He believed in civil rights and laws that should be followed no mater your socio-class or status. so who is correct and who is not? I would say that it's all about how you understand what's going on and your opinion on what's right and whats wrong. I say that both were successful at achieving rights for African Americans during this time just with different strategies.

    1. f we want to have a truly unique idea, the theory goes, we must lock ourselves away with inspiration in order to get it. But the reality is that isolation is important for only one stage of the creative process.

      Here the author is debunking a myth. This reminds me of the "little engines" you wrote last week. Most people think , but in reality__. If you have a topic that fit that engine you could adopt the organization of blog.

    1. The devastation reminds me of our fleeting imprint on the landscape, the impermanence of our man-made world, the way nature responds to our folly— our own culpabil-ity writ large in the damage wrought by Katrina

      The idea of fluidity and shifting in the way categories shift reminds me of ideas brought up in my Intro Women's Studies course. In talking about the patriarchy, we discussed that one must look at the multiple categories people fit into within a larger, baseline category to see how some who are oppressed or minority groups can still benefit from larger systems in relation to others in one of their shared groups; For example, a straight black man will benefit from the patriarchy as a straight man, but will face oppression for being black. However, there is still male privilege because a straight black woman may be oppressed for her gender identity and her race.

      This goes back to the intersectionality we discussed with the Nash reading as well. Getting into further levels of identity will show how a person can be a part of a marginalized group of people but not share the same experiences because of individuality as Ames pointed out in class, and also because of the many identity groups one may identify with. As we discussed in my Intro Women's Studies class, men generally benefit from the patriarchy but not all men have gained equally from it.

      In this case, Billings is stating that although part of a marginalized group, she still benefits more than someone else may in a marginalized group because she has the social position of being highly educated and English speaking.

      • Sophie W.
    1. male bias that satu-rates the standards themselves.

      This reminds me of Michelle Alexander's analysis of racial inequality in her novel The New Jim Crow: a central premise of hers is that although America appears to be a more racially-equitable state, these supposed "equities" are actually constructed out of a Eurocentric model of society. Because society and its moral standards are centered on what (particularly) white men deemed morally just, if these same standards are applied to all races/ethnicities, we only have the guise of equity with the underlying fact that white people still maintain subtle control over our society. Interesting how this same idea presents itself in this article as well.

    2. "If you have to break the law to make the law juSt, then so be it," added another. In short, the activists have embraced law not to defend the status quo, but rather as a tool for "disorder" and "reordering" unjust social relations

      This reminds me of what Martin Luther King Jr. said in his Letter From the Birmingham Jail, "An unjust law is no law at all."

    3. "Unlike many union bargaining demands, comparable worth is an ideological issue as well as an economic one.

      This reminds me of the idea of "moral majority" and how for hundreds of year, men were the majority of society so their morals were so prominent. Women have to convince society that their work is of equal work as men's.

    1. What under the sun Moa Artua on these occasions had to say to Kolory I never could find out; but I could not help thinking that the former showed a sad want of spirit in being disciplined into making those disclosures, which at first he seemed bent on withholding. Whether the priest honestly interpreted what he believed the divinity said to him, or whether he was not all the while guilty of a vile humbug, I shall not presume to decide. At any rate, whatever as coming from the god was imparted to those present seemed to be generally of a complimentary nature: a fact which illustrates the sagacity of Kolory, or else the timeserving disposition of this hardly used deity.

      Is Tommo attempting to attribute baby-jesus-like qualities to the Typee's beliefs? similarly this reminds me of Oronooko

    2. One day in returning from this spring by a circuitous path, I came upon a scene which reminded me of Stonehenge and the architectural labours of the Druids.

      Tommo describes the Typee a lot through how they compare to European/White people and civilization, as I will futher annotate, but I am curious as to why? It's probably a number of reasons. This reminds me a little of Aphra Behn's Oronooko in how it presents the abject.

    1. One thing that this nascent evidence base does show is that technology can be linked to improved learning.

      This is something that reminds me of being so personal, that science won't be able to justify all the outcomes. Some people will be able to succeed with technology at their fingertips, but then other won't be able to. Hence the can.

    2. The truth is that infants, in particular, learn by interacting with our physical world and with other humans,

      This statement reminds me of the videos of young children interacting with Ipads and magazines--trying in both cases to manipulate the screen and being surprised when the magazine does not work. I wonder if some of that research was used here.

    1. But Justine’s presence in the movement is important — particularly because disability is so often left out of police brutality narratives.

      This sentence and the previous paragraph reminds me of the Garland-Thomson (2002) reading and how she points to the multitude of intersectional issues that can combine with an individual's disability and affect the way that they are perceived as well as how they are treated. As the article says, Justine's presence in the BLM movement indeed is important because Thomson (2002) would infer that disabled folks, but especially disabled women, disabled queer folks, and disabled people of color are always subject to discriminations that entail eugenic programs, hate crimes, lynching, domestic violence, genocide, racial profiling, the list goes on. The article informs us that disability is often left out of police brutality and Thomson would explain that this issue and so many others like it are "legitimated by systems of representation, by collective cultural stories that shape the material world, underwrite exclusionary attitudes, inform human relations, and mold our senses of who we are" (9).

    1. many lines of evidence, including epidemiologic data and data from extensive clinical and experimental studies, indicate that early life events play a powerful role in inf luencing later susceptibility to certain chronic diseases.

      This reminds me of some information I've heard about specific races can eat more of specific foods because they have a higher tolerance to it while other races may develop chronic diseases. I remember talking about lactose, gluten, and even something in relation to grain. Not sure if it completely connects, but I was brought into that direction after reading this for sure!

    1. There is also a great danger here, particularly in how we demonize or exclude others, draw harsh distinctions that may not exist, or claim something to be “the way it’s always been” rather than looking at the way something could be.

      Yes, it reminds me of a TED talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It is about the way we draw boundaries by telling a single story of other cultures. For example, we see African is a place of poverty and disease. The truth is many cities in an African country is just as developed as cities in another continent. Telling stories like this creates stereotypes. The fact is we are not so different in the modern world.

    1. It is clear that Cantonese is defined as a dialect under the political power of the CPC. The ultimate purpose of the CPC is to eliminate all the ‘dialects’ and finally leave only one Chinese language, Mandarin, to represent the PRC as one unified nation.

      Feel like the article is too radical. Reminds me of times reading headlines accusing the CPC's movement on border and territory issues on Wall Street Journal recently.

    2. I would argue that spoken communication is the primary purpose for a language. Every person speaks a language but not everyone is literate. Using writing language as a primary standard is against the primary purpose of language.

      This reminds me of Hebrew. Remember there's something special about pronunciation in Hebrew but not so sure.

    1. When the child sees that theadult is there, totally involved with the child, thechild doesn’t forget.

      This reminds me of the Maya Angelou quote, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

    2. Children need to know that we are theirfriends, that they can depend on us for the things theydesire, that we can support them in the things thatthey have, but also in the things that they dreamabout, that they desire

      This reminds me of an ECE article I read criticizing the use of the word "friends" in the classroom. If we say things like, "Hurrry, your friends are all waiting for you".... Of course they are! That's what friends do! If we are their friend, that means that we are supportive, loving, willing to listen, willing to help. This helps me see how much of the child I should know personally, instead of holding back because I am their "teacher".

    3. a child isalways in search of relationships.

      This reminds me of the PRL readings from last week. Relationships are such an important part of early childhood. I wonder how many of the behaviors I automatically view as disruptions are really children exploring and building relationships with their peers?

    1. I see this wild arena where we are harnessed by alien electric shadows.

      This line stands out to me because the "wild arena" reminds me of America; where everyone is 'running' wild, going crazy mentally and physically not knowing what to do and what's next. And the "alien electric shadows" reminds me of the government and Corona virus because the government is releasing selective information to the country to make it appear as though they have everything under control when they don't.

    1. didn’t think democracy could even function if voters paid too much attention to what their representatives did between elections. “Electorates normally do not control their political leaders in any way except by refusing to reelect them,”

      This mindset reminds me of the idea of "Ignorance is bliss", i could say that most people dont pay attention to the changes that a lower representative may do, and if they did they would potentially have more of a say in who their representatives are.

    1. A thousand years later, critics fear that digital technology has put this gift in peril

    1. We don’t want to teach childrensomething that they can learn by themselves. Wedon’t want to give them thoughts that they can comeup with by themselves.

    1. The imagery Edwards used in "Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God" though powerful now in the world we live in would've been even more revolutionary in its time. A sermon talking so much about suffering for all eternity and the idea of an unforgiving, angry God would have hit early Americans hard as a healthy life was so uncertain and the harsh New World so unforgiving. Imagine hearing this sermon after seeing most of your friends and family die from unknown disease and infection. This reminds me so much of the West borough Baptist Church's methods because it is solely meant to instill fear in people which would then "force" them into following Christianity. This would make sense as a tactic to use when expanding and trying to promote your religion and ensure that this religion "sticks" during expansion. It's jarring to read, but it obviously worked due to the amount of Christianity we see in the world today.

    2. And let everyone that is yet out of Christ, and hanging over the pit of hell, whether they be old men and women, or middle aged, or young people, or little children, now hearken to the loud calls of God’s Word and providence.

      This statement reminds me of the Schism of 1504 that surrounded the topic of excommunication, or the cutting off of communication with God. When Pope Leo IX gave Michael Cerularius and his followers an excommunication decree because of a number of misunderstandings, it caused a schism between East and West since Michael Cerlarius was the leader of the East and Pope Leo IX was the leader of the West. I can imagine this line being said by Michael Cerlarius at that time, who seems to relate to Jonathan Edwards in a way when they both sort of started major religious movements in history. Moreover, both men had conflicts with other religious followers because of a different interpretation of several religious doctrines.

    1. Vatican’s claim that a person is fully present from conception,

      I disagree with Vatican's argument because embryos do not have the five traits mentioned earlier. It reminds me of a quote from the reading on page 49 that says "What makes something a person is what it can do, not what it is made of."

    2. an immaterial mind could never interact with material things or events like the electrical impulses and biochemical activities occurring constantly in and between our neural cells.

      I agree with this quote and I think this it relates to the neuroscience aspect of this question. It reminds me of NCC (neural correlates of consciousness). In my Intro to Psychology class we are learning about how scientists are using functional magnetic resonance imaging, which detects which regions of the brain are responsible for specific things. For example the cerebellum is the large structure that encompasses the cerebal cortex. Here is where our sensory information is processed and we are able to distinguish ourselves and the outside world. The cerebellum needs to work with other parts of the brain like the spinal cord and brains stem in order to generate the experince of consciousness.

    1. Moreover, as individuals themselves, offendersare worthy of moral concern.

      Reminds me of therapeutic jurisprudence (TJ), a legal theory approach which sends this same message that offenders are people too, worthy of moral consideration. The significant practice which differentiates therapeutic jurisprudence from this seemingly act-based morality view is that unlike act-based morality, TJ often sends redeemable offenders to community courts where they receive rehabilitative treatment and are reintegrated into society (e.g. Cook County Treatment Center).

    2. Person-centered morality refers to judgmentsabout aperson’soverall moral character, whereas act-based morali-ty refers to judgments about the rightness or wrongness of anact.

      This distinction between person-centered and act-based morality perspectives reminds me of Packer's "Crime Control Model", a model in which criminals' guilt is assumed, and his contrasting "Due Process Model", which claims the opposite- innocence of the offender until proven guilty. It also reminds me of the contrast of the retributive perspective which seeks vengeance on a presumably guilty offender (more reminiscent of person-centered morality) of as well versus the restorative model, which, like the act-based morality perspective, condemns the act- not the individual.
