By adding the word “intended” at the beginning of the word “slaughter”, Behn further emphasizes what Oroonoko did to his beloved. In OED, “slaughter” is defined as “To kill, slay, murder (a person), esp. in a bloody or brutal manner.” As you can see, one of the synonyms that the dictionary provides for “slaughter” is “murder”. Since murder cannot be done unintentionally, and because “slaughter” is already a very powerful word to describe what Oroonoko had done, adding the word “intended” before the word “slaughter” further intensifies the incident. In my opinion, Behn might have wanted to add “intended” to help the reader further empathize with Oroonoko. Since Oroonoko is having a very difficult time trying to comprehend what he had done to Imoinda, Behn adds this word to convey the chaos and the confusion in Oroonoko’s mind. Besides his mind, he also feels remorse deep down in his heart. And the only way to make the reader feel and empathize with these extreme feelings is to add words that further highlight the incidents. Additionally, item number 129, “Oroonoko Goes Crazy” is one of the items in the Enlightenmens Gallery that is relevant to my interpretation. This art piece is a depiction of Oroonoko after being sold into slavery. He is attempting to fight the slaveholders and escape. Even though the scene that is drawn isn’t the scene that is annotated, the chaotic atmosphere of this image reminds me of Oroonoko’s confused mind. Also, his face that appears in the bottom left corner portrays similar emotions, such as confusion and fear, to what he feels after he kills Imoinda.

This reminds me of the story in the bible of the prodigal son. In this story, a young man leaves his family and completely wastes his inheritance. Ultimately, he returns home and his father accepts him with open arms, throwing him a huge welcome back party. Saying ”For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.”. When crusoe says he feels guilty for having left his “duty” to God and his father, it almost sounds exactly like the prodigal son apologizing to his father upon returning home:‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son”. This illustrates how Robinson crusoe indeed mirrors the bible, which considered a traditional text, although it is still considered one of the earliest novels.

At first the Duke discusses that a Turkish fleet is going to Cyprus. Othello enters with everyone to be tested before the Duke. Othello is commanded by the Duke to stop the general. The Duke requested for Brabantio's help. Brabantio would of been by the Duke's side if he wasn't distracted by Othello's actions. Duke wanted to be filled in on the issue. Brabantio explains about his daughter. Senator asks if shes dead? Brabantio responds with she's dead to me, she was abused and stolen from him and corrupted by witchcraft. Duke asked who did such actions? Brabantio points the finger at Othello. Othello explains his love for Desdemona. Brabantio was appalled that Desdemona fell for Othello, because she was so innocent, so Brabantio thought witchcraft(spells) were used. Othello was asked if he had used witchcraft. Othello requested that Desdemona should testify. If Desdemona says that she doesn't like Othello then kill him. Othello explains how he got together with Desdemona. Othello would explain his time in the army, and Desdemona felt bad for Othello. Desdemona loved Othello because she felt bad for him through all of his hard times. Othello loved Desdemona because she would feel bad for him and pity him. Desdemona enters and explains her love for him. The Duke started to agree with Othello and suggested that Brabantio should listen to Desdemona. The Duke reminds Othello that he should defend Cyprus from the Turks. Othello agrees to go but only if Desdemona gets the proper care. Desdemona wants to go with Othello. The offer for Desdemona to go with Othello is declined, and Othello must leave someone with Desdemona. Brabantio tells Othello to watch Desdemona closely, because Desdemona deceived her own father so she might deceive Othello. Desdemona goes with Iago and his wife to be protected, while Othello goes to war. Roderigo is suicidal at one point. Iago suggests to destroy Desdemona and Othello's love. Iago suggests to meet with Roderigo in the morning to discuss the plot. Iago plans that Desdemona and Othello will cheat on each other.

This was another example that reminds me of the Chernobyl sheep farming paper last week that the government was not disseminating the information after the natural disaster properly. They lacked communication with the people who were in the most need of help. This caused a similar distrust of the government and what they were doing versus what they were promising.

so does this mean he seeks adventure in actual land? (since he's in sea) or is it something else that he seeks, im thinking maybe death since he says "homes of strange peoples far from here" (it's a longshot correct me if my interpretation is incorrect)

This reminds me of how I feel in math classes, which makes me wonder if the "left and right brain" theory is true. I can rarely spot sequences or patterns in math formulas, which makes me think some people were just born with one side of their brain stronger than others, and vice versa.

This reminds me of the idea that we humans, as we learn more and advance in technology begin to become bored with life.

Deep. Reminds me of the Simon & Garfunkel song The Sound of Silence. Specifically in relation to the lyric "--and the people bowed and prayed/to the neon God they made--" where there is an underlying fear of technology and power it has.

It is very interesting how Adams is able to combine man's desire for answers through God (religion) and technology. Man's pursuit of truth throughout the ages was informed by the narrative of Jesus. And yet as science and technology progressed humans became more entralled with their own ability to answers their own questions through inovation then to look to the sky and by narrative (the Bible).

It reminds me of the famous Nietzsche quote "God is dead", which is often misinterpreted. He did not mean "God does not exist" or that he was proven false, but that western culture had lost their moral compass when they left God behind them.

The line "whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us" reminds me of something from fast and furious but it also shows how giant life is no matter what we are doing or how fast we are doing it we are always going somewhere.

He believes that children live life worthier than men because children live in the present where men have a clouded mind thinking in the future. I like how the author trades experience to failure. It reminds me when I was a kid and coaches and teachers use to say "you learn from your mistakes". He attacks that and shows everybody has a difference of opinions, something we easily hold to be true is a lie in other peoples mind.

Reminds me of Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street. The women in the doorways or looking out the windows, trapped by the authoritative male figures in their lives. They can see freedom, they know what it looks like, but they can't ever have it.

This story reminds me a lot of Rosemary's Baby (minus the devil's involvement).

This reminds me of the notion of "female hysteria" when men would not believe a woman was mentally or physically ill, but rather hysteric. Often times, instead of getting treated for their actual health issues, women were just sent to an asylum. This belittles women by discrediting any physical or mental burdens they carry. It may be interpreted that being invalidated is what actually causes women to become "hysteric".

"Ancestral walls" reminds me of Bob Kaufman's Ancient Rains. Perkins probably means a home that has been passed down her family generations.

When I read this paragraph, I was worried about the situation there. We have already try our best to avoid violence and shooting using technology, but there still are some shadows that we can not find. This reminds me the utilitarianism and justice, but not in the allocative way, but the practicality. Apparently, there are no such way to solve this problem, at least right now. On the one hand, we can set as many as possible cameras in campus and monitoring tools on social media, but that cannot really capture the meaning behind each action and word. On the other hand, tons of cameras thoroughly violate the right of people to talk and act freely. Although I am totally on board with those monitors, I cannot see any sustainable future development with that. Casestudy

This is cultural too. In India, care takers want to do everything for the children, to the extent that they remain dependent on them even when they are grown ups. It reminds me of the part in the other article that mentions, "the image is a cultural convention, a cultural interpretation, and therefore a political and social issue, which enables you to recognize or not to recognize certain qualities and potential of children."

Much like the paragraph above that I highlighted. It reminds me of the current mindfulness movement as well.

I think that sometimes we forget what children go through at home. Many have adult size problems and this reminds me to be empathetic and accepting and help children to connect at school and respect the experiences they bring with them each day. I think in order to build a better relationship with them I should be listening to them more. Each child has something important to contribute to all of our learning. In the future I will elicit more conversations and responses from each child, and focus less on adult directives and talking.

This reminds me of a lot of attachment theory.

This reminds me of the Tolentino piece in which she remarks on how we must share our experiences in order to validate any sympathy we extend to others in their times of distress.

This is astonishing to me because 16 million people who have done nothing wrong are being treated unfair and not right. This just reminds me of the slavery down south when it happened.

This reminds me of the techniques of motivational interviewing. When I read a textbook on the topic, it described the process of motivational interviewing as collecting people's own motivation to them like flowers and then presenting them with a bouquet.

This reminds me of the elementary i went to, they didnt allow me to attend the school because i wasn't living in the range that they were accepting kids. i lived closer to this school than the other school that was accepting me. sometimes families are in seek for their child to attend a school thats in a better environment. why not let families that are willing to drive a mile or 2 farther for their child to attend?

This reminds me of how real estate agents in the Jim Crow era would encourage white families to move out of their neighborhoods before black families moved in. This was because of fear that their neighborhood would "become bad".

This reminds me of the cruel cycle that a lot of minorities face. They do not have a proper education and grow up receiving negative treatment. This limits their ability to advance in life and in turn, cannot provide the best environment or resources to their children. Their children in turn repeat the cycle that their parents went through.

I agree. This statement reminds me of when I was younger. I went to a preschool that was all people of color (mostly Latinos) from a low-income background. I went to an elementary school (two years later), a few blocks away -- it was also the same type of population of students. That is because the surrounding neighborhoods were composed of all people of color, from low-income backgrounds. I grew up thinking that segregated based on race/color schools was normal.

This reminds me of what we learned from unit 1 regarding the doll test on how much school can impact students psychologically, and the concept of "segregate but equal" is segregation itself.

When thinking about this with no relative context, but with just the action and circumstances upfront, it reminds me of an example of natural selection. Only the strongest and smartest survive, and when thinking of this case the candidate whom shows more strength and craftiness will be acquire the position and thrive based on this logic.

This experience reminds me of The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man by James Weldon Johnson. He relates "And so i have often lived through that hour, that day, that week in which was wrought the miracle of my transition from one world into another; for I did indeed pass into another world. From that time I looked out through other eyes, my thoughts were colored, my words dictated, my actions limited by one dominating all pervading idea...". Here, Johnson is stating that even as a young boy he realized that his experience is filtered through "the distorted influence which operates upon each colored man in the United States"

This quote reminds me of a line further in the piece, where Du Bois writes "this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity." Although both quotes focus on a serious and "down" topic, I like the correlation to one another and continuing the serious conversation in the poem regarding identity and sense of self

This reminds me of something I learned about in a feminism class as well as an art history, being the male gaze. Both woman and men experience objectification in art which may not be necessary but could it also be considered a style if it is so frequently repeated? Some art just isn't deep.

This reminds me of the children being distrustful in 1984 who were under the rule of Big Brother. By memorizing passages at a young age they engrave his beliefs.

I think people tend to forget this concept. This reminds me of the idea that those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. We do have to forgive but we should never forget.

The image of kids putting value and excitement on items commonly used to take lives of others doesn't sit well with me. It reminds me of videos I've seen in the past that involved a person being excited to use a weapon with the goal of "exterminating all ___". (Americans/African Americans)

This reminds me of news outlets and media in the United States. Certain news channels and media are bias and lean toward a certain side more. As is CNN is more liberal and leftist, and Fox News is more right wing and conservative. It’s a form of confirmation bias.

This reminds me of when hillary was running

Michelle brings about a great point in how photography has become a book of scenes. We look back and see photographs and remember the times that we had past. We look at experiences we went through and times that have changed for the better. Michelle says, “Pieces of who we are through time. I agree with that I look through pictures and it reminds me of times in my life when I wasn't the person I wanted to be”. I agree that pictures are pieces of us that are expressed through time. As Michelle says that now in this time she does not want to hide herself anymore. That’s what pictures really are you if you think about it. They hide our true selves and she no longer wants to be that person anymore. “They want you to buy into their reality and it can be just be a facade”, Michelle says. I love this quote because people can shame you. They can act like their life might be better based on a photo. A photograph can be a false photograph. People can easily manipulate people into thinking that’s the way they live. Little do people know it can be a fantasy and not a reality. Not saying all pictures are false because I would be lying if this was true. I’m just saying that pictures can be easily a false photograph that may or may not be true. Michelle explains that a photograph explains how something did exist. This is also true because whether it is in the past or not, it is something that did happen and now is part of the past.

Here Horatio mentions that the sea is feared by many. This reminds me of the moment in Dracula were Lucy is found on the edge of a cliff by the sea. This seems to be a common theme among different literary works from this time period and even farther back. Is there a history to this supernatural and strange fear of the sea? Why does it have negative connotation?

"We will remind ourselves and each other what is at stake. We will remember that the only thing we need to know about utopia is that nobody actually lives there." Reminds me of that quote

This caught my attention because technology has become a part of our daily lives and to say that "technology embody our humanity" is kinda of true. Also the part of the quote "Think of technology as a socially constructed reality" reminds me of one of the question that we had to answer: Why is it important to study ethics and technology? Because technology has become a platform for us as a community to connect with each other whether it's for business or personal reasons.

This sentence made me think of the podcast when Anil Dash talks about how he did not grow up with technology but now his child does, and it reminds me of my own experiences compared to my parents experiences. When my parents were kids there were no cell phones or computers. They did not have social media, and they way they interacted with each other was completely different than how people do now. In todays society people do not get nearly as much face to face interaction. People communicate over social media, text messaging, email, etc. It makes it easier for people to say things they would not feel comfortable saying face to face. It has allowed things like bullying to get much more prevalent. It has also changed the dating world. People often times meet on dating apps and talk online before ever meeting each other in personal rather than going out to a bar and meeting someone which is what my parents did. Online dating also allows for "catfishing" which is saying you are someone different than you really are. When Kaplan says "sometimes they make our lives worse" I agree. There are so many positives and negatives to technology.

This reminds me of Keith Haring

Brock makes a good point here and the beginning of this paragraph reminds me of Tolentino's essay where she discusses online performance and identity.

I like how spam works outside the maxims of logic the same way that the supernatural works outside the maxims of physical reality. In this way, these objects become subjects that are inserted into the code to disrupt and create space the way that worms eat the material world and leave holes behind. They are there, lying in wait. This space allows for it to expose the limitations in the code, and like most digital RNA, use the code to evolve and change the infrastructure from the inside out.

It also reminds me of Harlan Ellis' " "Repent Harlequin", Said the Ticktockman".

This reminds me of the structuralism that we learn about in lit theory.

The descriptive language of this articles correlates with that of Frankenstein. The word choice and writing style work alongside each other to create tone. The tone of this sentence in particular reminds me of how Victor viewed the monster after he was created.

I find this so interesting and it reminds me of middle school where we swabbed our tongues and put our dna into a little necklace container. Was alcohol how we did this? I don't remember.

They are definitely riding in style. This part reminds me of a Guy Ritchie movie or something.

Comment: This reminds me of a class I took on the French Revolution. In part of the class we discussed the Haitian Revolution and the lack of documentation we have from them. This comment on silence and stutters reminds me of my professor showing us how historians were able to piece together certain connections between rebelling groups and other aspects of the Haitian Revolution even with an immense lack of documentation.

Connection: This reminds me of listening to something in a foreign language. Similarly, we are not able to tell when each word or phrase starts and stops, and the tone is not easily discernible.

This reminds me of a project I had to do for a public speaking course...learning to argue a side that you DON'T agree with. I think that a good debater, and therefore a good writer, must be able to support a point of view that they don't agree with to truly excel at illustrating a point they do agree with.

This reminds me about the topic of globalization.

When the author refers to the bourgeois order and society, it reminds me of the discussion we had in class about the Grand Narrative and how it doesn't accommodate everybody.

This reminds me of the u substitution method when solving derivatives

He's the king of Ulster. Conchobar means " lover of canines." Reminds me of the scandal with a One Direction star was rumored to name his kid as Conchobar, writen as Conchobar but pronounced as Connor.

This reminds me of what we read about in the Indications reading. The education of young children has to be collaborated throughout the community as a whole, not just at a particular school.

This reminds me of the saying that a picture is worth 1000 words or something like that. it also can resonate with us longer..

This reminds me of the Zombie Manifesto. Not only are the spam bots mindless, but even the humans making the comments are (e.g. trolls). This can be seen in Freud's "Group Psychology and the Analysis of Ego" when he discusses mob mentality.

In an interview for Think magazine in '92, Richard Paul suggests that thinking is not just thinking that it is thinking for self improvement. It again reminds me of the video Cognitive Dissonance (TED TALK) where it was said that we have to stop looking for information that only supports what we already think or believe to be true. We have to also think about our biasis and where they come from. Teachers need to continue to help their students learn to be good critical thinkers we need to learn to ask each other questions that challenge our normal thought patterns. http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/critical-thinking-basic-questions-amp-answers/409

The notion of programmatic gender's retro-prophylactic occlusion of its own origin, or gender as an ourobosed redux of individual and collective performance, reminds me of Paul B. Preciado's text Testo Junkie: Sex, Drugs, and Biopolitics in the Pharmacopornographic Era. In Testo Junkie, Preciado uses the structural and administrative history of birth control to elucidate the Foucauldian notion of an "anatomo-chronological scheme of action" which "combines architecture, design, and body movement, transforming the user into an efficient (non-)reproducing machine" (Preciado 197). Thus, the pharmacological ordinance of medical intervention, particularly regarding microprosthetic calibration of endocrinological and hormonal subjectivities within the body, internalizes the grammar of gendered performance through the orchestration of micro-axiomatic pharmaco-fictions. In other words, these pharmacological programs inscribe micro-subjective gendered performances within the temporal umbra of application guidelines (particularly for medications like birth control or pre-exposure prophylaxis), effectively gendering the body within and across time and manipulating the temporal ontologization of gendered selfhood. In Testo Junkie, Preciado performs renegade hormonal auto-experimentation, applying gel patches of testosterone beyond the radius of a programmatic medical intervention and creating a novel grammar of endocrino-semiotic gendered becoming. However, the criticality of temporal homogeneity for the “success” of various medications (for example, erratic PrEP administration may compromise the drug’s efficacy and create drug resistance) inoculates individuals within a hegemonic “anatomo-chronological scheme of action,” a daily re-inscription of temporal and semiotic regularity that, in the case of hormonal medications, reaffirms the binary physiognomy of a collapsed sex-gender presentation. Preciado poses a critical question: in what way do medical and pharmacological interventions problematize the notion of gendered interiority or Butler’s corporeal style? Is it possible to have a corporeal style of the interior, a shadowed underskin of pharmaco-narrative performance?

This reminds me of Thinking Fast and Slow

This term and definition automatically reminds me of doing lab work and reports in high school in both biology and chemistry. My teachers would stress that the traditional "If...then" statements for your hypothesis was very important.

That's super interesting! If we typically read text in 15-20 letter/word bits, how do images change that calculus if at all?

Also this reminds me of something our TA in Monastic Theology brought up about how reading online specifically is a devolution of reading technology. Basically, she said that the bound book was an evolution to the scroll and "scrolling" on the internet was reverting back to something many people had found unhelpful. So in addition to Johnson's questions about multi-tasking and other elements of online reading changing the mechanics, I'm also wondering in what ways scrolling v. pagination (that's probably not the right word for what I mean, but having pages and moving between them) changes how we physically and intellectually read. I find this especially interesting since in many ebooks I've used, they've recreated this sense of "pages" with having to "flip" the page rather than scroll.

reminds me of forum code.

While Foucault suggests that we are shaped by the limits that our social-political context impose on us, he remains optimistic about the possibility of transcending them by experimenting within them. This reminds me of the interplay of habitus and improvisation in Pierre Bourdieu's thought, where habitus is the set of rules inscribed in a person by their social location, and improvisation is the use of those rules in a way that at once obeys and restructures them.

Things are more complex when doing implementation than design. Standard components are not only for the good of manufacturing but also for easy installation so that the components are suitable for most situations, affordable and electricians require minimum training. Engineers care more about how to make things functional while designers are more familiar with users and care more about how to make things useable and useful. This is why they need to cooperate. This reminds me that I was required to use some sophisticated softwares, usually a simulator when studying electronics. Almost none of these software well designed. I think it's because engineers who developed such software care much less about its appearance and interaction than the performance of speed and accuracy. Also, such software often involves hundreds of different variations, components, and controls that needed to be arranged properly, which make the design itself to be extremely tough. At the same time, if you turn to professional designers for help, they often lack the robust background knowledge to produce a good product for engineers. Currently, our solution to this dilemma is "get used to it", but I believe engineers can potentially be more efficient in working with some better designed digital tools.

It really does look like Willy had some high aspirations for his sons. This paragraph in particular really reminds me of my own dad and how he talks about travel.

From this statement it reminds me of a book I read in middle school called, “How racism takes place” which tells a story about African Americans and how they could be a large beneficial factor if we accepted them in our community for what ever color they were. Many of these countries that try to let slavery continue are only hurting themselves.

This reminds me of how things are constantly changing for example: how we get older.

this kind of reminds me of like majority rule.

I love the collaboration here! It serves as motivation for students and adds purpose to the research. Students are exploring their interests while engaging in authentic literacy experiences.

This structure reminds me of For a Better World by Bomer and Bomer.

This reminds me of the pamphlet writing from the Hamilton-Jefferson era in which they engaged in edgy writing to provoke public discourse under Greek pseudonyms conveying characteristics of the writers. Recently read (listened to <3 Audible) Ron Chernow's Alexander Hamilton bio in which the pamphlet writing reminded me of our current Twitter political exchanges. This is an authentic engagement!

This also reminds me of Facing History in which the teaching model is circular and always starts and ends in introspection and action

This reminds me of JFK's "Peace Speech" when he talks about how the US is known as a global success for its economic power, but the country's expertise in production includes the manufacturing of the weapons that are used to take hundreds of thousands of human lives in war.

I believe this is the strongest statement that Freire makes in this chapter. Those educators who use the "banking education" method seek to keep the students creative power down by continuously pushing their power on the student. Those educators that use their sense of "humanitarianism" is only for self-gain.

In some ways, this reminds me, historically, of the development of the Gutenberg printing press. Previous to the printing press, only religious icons allowed to read and write. Once the Gutenberg press was created, the regular person was able to learn and develop ideas for themselves, triggering the golden age of thought.

This reminds me of Avdi's talk on transactions.

I remember hearing my mother and father always say "Ahh, this song reminds me of college." And I never really understood that because there was never a song that reminded me of a specific time in my school until I got to college and was exposed to numerous different genres and styles of music. Now, I keep a notebook with lessons I have learned while being at K but I also keep a log of what song I found that epitomizes that quarter at K.

As Becca Lewis suggests, is the problem associated with methodology? This reminds me of some of the discussions associated with [social media and teens] (https://collect.readwriterespond.com/social-media-has-not-destroyed-a-generation/)

This reminds me of a post from Katia Hildebrandt and Alec Couros from a few years ago in which they suggest that in a world where there is digital record for everything somewhere then we need to learn to consider intent, context, and circumstance when considering different artefacts that may be dredged up.

Reminds me of README-Driven Development, associated to Test-Driven Development.

Reminds me of IRC scripts from decades ago. People are just now catching up...

Reminds me of when [Yahoo?] shut down server for Astrid task manager, telling everyone they needed to migrate their data elsewhere.

One of the most pivotal service discontinuences I've experienced, making me very hesitant to trust any non-libre/non-open-source software ever again.

This is an interesting format. Reminds me a bit of the way Dave Winer blogs, though he posts his notes contemporaneously. It's also not too dissimilar to how Colin Walker posts where his website shows the last day on the front page with a list of all his posts (or the last three, if there's nothing posted yet for today).

reminds me of Medium...

This reminds me of motivation also...

This reminds me of DuBois' double consciosness theory. POC are expected to be well versed in their own culture but also dominant culture, but white people are never expected to have a knowledge of POCs various cultural equivalents.

The fragility of coalition movements in general if you ask me. Different groups have different issues they want to address first.

This reminds me of how imperialism in the past was justified. If a country and their people were taken over, the justification was that they were "doing the right thing" or "helping them out". In reality, it was purely expansion of their own country and showing superiority to others.

This statement reminds me of the Africans being starting trade with minerals. Specifically the Ethiopian people were seen as the hierarchy of trade in Africa. Mostly, due to the abundance of gold they acquired.

AfricanTrade

This seems like he is saying that there is a theoritical being and an actual being which reminds me of his ideas about knowledge and the Mary's room thought experiment. Where Mary had theritical knowledge when she studied color and then actual knowledge when she saw it.l

A lot of the imagery presented in this poem reminds me of the landscape Eliot constructs in The Wasteland, a bleak and barren space where souls are somewhat unfulfilled.

this reminds me of the landscape also talked about in the Wasteland. It's describing the same sort of suffering and desperation.

This reminds me of the Portland bar scene circa 5 years years ago. Tons of people talking about the issues of the country, humanity, etc. at length and with no real action plan. People so upset with the state of the nation but getting so caught up in talking about it that nothing gets done. The whole scene is so vivid, I feel like I've seen it a million times.

• Buddha achieved enlightenment through meditation, the fact that the Collins is stating that he is a model of concentration is again referring not only to the historical aspect but also for the actual sculpture and iconographies or statues you see of him where he is in a meditative state - demonstrating concentration.

Allusion to Previous Poets: This line reminds me of Shelley's Ozymandius

How do you prepare for the unknown... It also reminds me of people who prepare for their will and ultamate wishes

the program never provided a pathway for citizenship. however it did provide other benefits for example staying in the country with permission to go to school or work. it kind of reminds me of what was once a safe haven for central americans with the "Temporary Protected Status" (TPS)

This is such a beautiful poem, and brought tears to my eyes. This reminds me of Toni Morrison's novel Beloved, because Sethe is a mother who protects her child by taking her out of the world... She would not stand for the abuse and mistreatment of her children. She rather kill her baby with Love, than it die by hate.

She can’t let herself have a child, because she’s scared of what will happen to them. While the result is different, this reminds me of the premise of Toni Morrison’s Beloved.

This reminds me of Gwendolyn B. Bennett's poem "Heritage," and how she expresses the desire to have the right to want something aesthetically pleasing.

I also read this piece like It was a prayer. Two of the main things I got from this poem was the repetition of the lines "see things as they truly are, / this wonderful opportunity to awaken" which I think is powerful and encapsulates what this poem is really about. I also love how the speaker calls the reader to do good and be kind to others in many ways, but then also reminds the reader that above all to be kind to yourself, which resonates with me because I have a great deal of trouble doing that.

This concept can be tied to naive dialect. While Asian cultures are able to identify with the middle ground and more neutral solutions, western cultures are driven to pick a side in conflict, and are less likely to remain neutral. Naive dialect, often rejected by the ideals of westernized culture, proposed the middle ground of a conflict is the most likely to contain the solution, rather that the dichotomies that Americans identify more easily with. This reminds me of individualistic vs collectivistic cultures. I believe that we can tie naive dialect to collectivistic culture in the way that choosing the middle ground is more of a compromise and choosing a solution that benefits the most people. Americans, who are more concerned with getting their way and choosing the position they personally identify with is reminiscent of the ways of individualistic culture.

reminds me of a dystopian fantasy novel

This reminds me of a tool called asciinema that allows highlighting text within a video.

These children that are being given could be unwanted pregnancies from being raped by the Masters. Also it may be painful to view or to witness your children being sold into slavery or being oppressed in society in which black people Are set to fail. And the last part when she talks about it is better to die than to realize that you are colored and in reference to a river reminds me of the 1619 podcast when you learnt about people drowning in the Mississippi River and some people preferred to drown to Death than to face punishment from the white authority

This reminds me of the show "What Would You Do?", where an actor (or actors) pretend to do something strange or egregious in order to see what surrounding people would do in response. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who respond to these actors are also actors or reenacting what they just did. The idea of these crews and actors maneuvering others into these kinds of situations definitely fits with this program.

This reminds me of how producers of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette manipulate people into making a fool out of themselves on TV. It has ruined some of the contestants' lives, like Luke P.

This line reminds me of communion (the service of Christian worship at which bread and wine are consumed as memorials of Christ's death.)

Before eating the cracker (bread) and grape juice (wine) the pastor says "this is for the nourishment of my body"

This line makes me think love is a nourishment or in other words love is necessary in a persons life.

This reminds me of majority of the black culture.. we have to work so hard for what we want.

This reminds me of the podcast we listened to when they talked about how black people are treated when it comes to hospitals and insurance.

This reminds me of the brawl at the palace in Michigan in the NBA with Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, and the fans.

Reminds me of the comments made in lex fridmin interview with ?, where they discuss that the union of morally evil and competent is actually a small number of people. I wonder if blockchain maybe assumes too much of those interested.

They were talking in the context of nuclear detonations or AI, which would effect a large number of people... but assuming that ETH does provide a non-gov option, it's destabilization might affect even more.

reminds me of the women in "Roy Spivey" where should we stand still for hours.

Agency is so important, for all of us. And this reminds me a bit, too, of the feminist concept of praxis, that "the personal is political." Now that the CPLC has finally engaged us on a personal level, we are having meaningful experiences, and we feel hope about the future and our ability to make a difference, to help our students find their way. This is where the hope is!

This reminds me of a documentary I watched last year. Everyone talks about the feminist movement, but in it, many minorities were left behind within it. It felt as though black feminists were forced to chose between advocating for their own civil rights or advocating for their gender rights. It's easy to forget that women of color had to struggle a lot more than white women even though both of them reached major obstacles. Also, it saddens me that there seemed to be a disconnect between the feminist movements.

This stanza reminds me of how much God revolves all . Also God is power over all

The first stanza reminds me of Genius in the bible.. This stanza is also putting me in a position where the writer is speaking on Gods behalf

I love the imagery of this. It reminds me of when we would use play doh to make the round balls. I can see God doing this to the light to form the Sun

This reminds me of the PayPal Mafia

This reminds me of Christmas stories where children are excited.

Reminds me a lot of "The Dispossessed," here and is thus a little hard for me to understand. I am reading this as if Le Guin is saying like, allow there to be pleasure, but not obsessive or prideful pleasure that comes from a place of ingenuity.

This reminds me of intention settings and having goals. Its imperative to have quality in your actions.

Reminds me of the trolls from the hobbit...

All this bullshit just reminds me of the, "This is what 'boys will be boys' should really mean - doing goofy hijinks and having fun" thing to be completely honest

This reminds me of the story of 12 years a slave, when master Epps and his wife enjoyed the torture of slaves and deleiberatelt inflicted pain because they fed off of the cries, ebony and blood of the slaves.

In this poem I feel that this thing could be a image or a thought of something. It reminds me of racism, being the subject and now its facing the mob that it plagued.

This reminds me of Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider where she asks the question, "who gets to be an artist" as in who has the access/material/representation.

This is going to sound veryyyy weird but Malcolm X reminds me of Donald Trump a little bit. They are both very radical and stand behind what they say 100%. They have a viewpoint and they do not change it for the world. They both have opinions on things that lean very far one way.

This paragraph reminds me a lot of Frederick Douglas' speech about what the fourth of july means to a slave. White people cannot see the pain that blacks have suffered in not being able to go after their american dream. This is the same as whites not realizing how hypocritical and painful the fourth of july was to slaves. Whites need to open their eyes and try to feel what african americans have felt to understand why segregation must end.

This reminds me of that song "this land is your land, this land is my land... from the California to the New York island."

This section here, most of the words start with the letter "s", in other words she is playing around with sibilance. I wonder why the repetition of the "s" sounds, when I recite this part out loud, the "s" sound reminds me of a snake, but I don't think that was her intention. Is it supposed to imitate a steady beat like banjo strumming?

I noticed that around here the diction starts to change and it reminds me of the way Sterling Brown writes his poetry. I wonder why she only wrote part of the poem this way and not the whole poem.

"Singing' slow, sobbin' low" reminds me of swing low sweet chariot by Etta James, a biblical blues song.

This reminds me of a chapter Christina Sharpe wrote about in their book, "The Wake." This lines up perfectly with their chapter about The Ship. The idea that the ocean holds the souls of those who were thrown overboard while being shipped to the United States to be enslaved and exploited.

Maybe this is what a Plus period should be all about: a place to be heard.

This reminds me of a verse from this hymn: For everyone born, a place at the table, for everyone born, clean water and bread, a shelter, a space, a safe place for growing, for everyone born, a star overhead,

This reminds me of what we discussed in class about Show Way. It shows the story of how you got to where you are and it provides a better understanding. It also shows in detail how things have changed in American history.

This part reminds me of "Self-Reliance" too--the part where Emerson says, "Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being. And we are now men, and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides, redeemers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort, and advancing on Chaos and the Dark." In other words, reset your mind and you can elevate yourself no matter who you are or what circumstances you are in.

This reminds me of SNL. It's definitely more on the side of entertainment, but it also provides the viewers with news stories that matter in the world.

Their relationship reminds me of another literary friendship between two females that has been taking the world by storm over the past several years, that of Lenu and Lila from Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels. That relationship is also between two women who are incredibly alike one another - bright, wordy, artsy, opinionated, leftists with a complicated relationship with wealth where they at once denounce it and yearn to surround themselves with it. Yet their temperaments are so unlike. There's also the spirit of an intense rivalry, though simultaneously a deep sense of respect. The two women routinely come together at low points in their lives, prior to the ultimate tragedy unfolding. In the context of Conversations With Friends, the two friends and former romantic partners have an incredibly productive working relationship and a deep sense of familiarity with one another, but they constantly withhold information from each other, try to make the other jealous, and can just as easily show wanton disregard for each other's feelings. The nature of the women in Ferrante's work is a bit different, as they're incredibly expressive Italian women as opposed to one direct, strong willed woman and who is the pinnacle of what I imagine to be British repression. Thus, the competition in this novel is incredibly more subtle, especially since Frances supplies us with a narrative lens.

This part was interesting to me because he is able to highlight that America not what it once was. The government needs new involvement in order to be successful. This reminds me of a video that we watched in international studies. The economy hasn't been critiqued in centuries because people are accused of being communists and things like that. However, without critiquing it and trying to treat the economy as the same as it was a long time ago, a large recession is inevitable.

The man is using her looks as a reason that she will force him to fall in love-- reminds me of a Siren or Vixen.

It reminds him of something from his past that left him feeling empty

This reminds me of the 13 documentary we are watching, and how most black people were framed with drugs or small crimes in order to be sent to jail.

I find it interesting that it reminds you of halos and I wonder if that was the author's intent.

It reminds me of rebellion and standing up for yourself... It's getting to me because it's part of my personal life that I'm going through..

This style reminds me of something Bukowski would write. Tough rigidness of reality.

This reminds me of Toni Morrison's Beloved, and how the Schoolteacher abuses Sethe into doing something that she does not want to be done to her. Halle, her husband watches the whole time, without her knowing, and his friend Paul D confesses to her that strong men break too, that they experience hurt and cannot fathom it. Yet Brown says they can overcome such pain..

This seems like St. Peter is saying that hell is the South and that everyone should know that, it should be common knowledge. This poem stays in the same rhyme scheme of ABAB throughout and has a natural bounce when spoken aloud. Both of the Sterling Brown poems have this stylized colloquial speech pattern. There is a clear voice that reminds me of my friends from New Orleans.

This reminds me of when I watched ocean's 11, and other con movies and shows. They employ a lot of the same strategies, so its weird to see the same manipulative behavior seen in things so real to me

To discuss the idea of a caged bird, I love the idea of a caged bird which to me reminds me of slaves but in this poem it discuss the issues except in a negative yet true light

This reminds me of the spirituals. Singing make s time pass by, it’s uplift the spirit and it’s unites people that share a common cause.

This reminds me of the constant humming we hear in the 1619 podcast. The sound of the slave songs.

Instead of waiting for a prayer to be answered or any help to arrive, he continuously beats his wing against the iron bars. It stops when his wings begin to bleed but restarts again.

It never gives up.

This reminds me of how slaves would continue their struggle for freedom with this same mindset. They won’t stop until they find freedom.

This is clearly a reference to the white whale. Reminds me of the numerous times the white whale was seen in the movie "In the Heart of the Sea".

This very much reminds me of a Dr. Seuss quote. It adds a bit of drama to the message.

It reminds me of one of those songs that keeps trying to find the right not but strains to hit it.

Reminds me of the quote from Wuthering Heights "She burned too bright for this world."She is aching and burning for this moment as well.

I love this because it comes from a man's perspective of love. Very similar in the sense of Annabel Lee to me. It reminds me of a first love and the memories made from this. The want for freedom with you other half.

Reminds me of the movie Ice Age and Scrat the squirrel.

Should be as educated in this social justice as any other (reminds me of my GSA reeducation of teachers with the film "James").

This reminds me of before, where Victor would sneak away and listen to the waves in order to get away from civilization and find some sense of peace.

Important to note the fact that Justine becomes almost a prototype for Victor's mother! She loved her so deeply that she began mimicking her speech and mannerisms. This gives her so much more importance to Victor, and is important to remember when reading the future events of the story.
