    1. how all the other bodies are generated from the ones that are the sources of bodies and the ranks of these;

      This reminds me of the story of Adam and Eve, who in Christian lore are the first man and woman to ever exist on Earth, created by God.

    1. When we see Bill Cosby in concert, I don't look at a black person. I see Bill Cosby up there. . . . If he was white, I think I would still enjoy his humor as much

      This comment rubs me the wrong way a little bit. It almost reminds me of when people say "color blind" or that "they don't see color."

    1. Bezos explained, “If you have a really good idea, stick to it, but be flexible on how you get there. Be stubborn on your vision but flexible on the details.” Executives at other companies tended to lay out definitive plans. But Bezos urged his people to be adaptable. “People who are right a lot change their mind,” he once said. “They have the same data set that they had at the beginning, but they wake up, and they re-analyze things all the time, and they come to a new conclusion, and then they change their mind.”

      Reminds me of Angus Hervey's call to 'Hold on tightly and let go lightly'

    1. Specifically, the researchers found that malicious threat actors could compromise a large number of high-wattage IoT devices (e.g., air conditioners and heaters) and turn them into a botnet—a network of devices infected with malicious software and controlled as a group without the owners’knowledge

      Reminds me of the Target HVAC attack

    1. What is the intensity in ?

      This reminds me of something that astronomers calculate: the "solar constant,", which, it turns out is not quite constant because the Sun's output varies on a daily time scale and slowly over its 11-year sunspot cycle. Currently, the observed value is about \(1360.66\frac{W}{m^2}\).

    1. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.

      I agree with this so much because even though you might not think something affects you, it will eventually. If the rights of someone else can be taken away or they can be denied something, then that government or leading group of people can do the same thing to you. This reminds me of the poem by Martin Niemöller where he didn't speak out about the groups being attacked because he wasn't apart of them, but eventually they came for him and then there was nobody left to speak up. Once they go after one group and have success in that, they will go after the next and the one after that and so on.

    1. popular media narrative of youth civiccomplacency. Across every letter we analyzed, students identified topics ofcivic concern, presented calls for action, and often cited evidence to bolstertheir civic claims.

      The fact that this report refutes the media narrative of youth civic complacency is not surprising. The media has become so politicized that it doesn't report the news unbiased anymore...it has become more of an opinion piece. I'm not surprised at all that the media would report complacency instead of digging in, doing the investigative work and reporting facts only without slanting the information one way or the other. This reminds me of the term 'silent majority'. Just because someone seems complacent or not civically active doesn't mean they are not concerned, have ideas, or engage civically out of the spotlight. The method chosen to produce civic action could be done by voting (as evidenced in the presidential election) or on a small local scale, etc. Youth can use their voice in many different ways.

    1. hope grew round me, like the twining vine, And fruits, and foliage, not my own, seemed mine

      this is such a fascinating pair of lines. the first, though meant to portray the budding fruitfulness of hope (perhaps the vine is meant to seem supportive and all-encompassing?) feels restrictive and tight to me (via visual imagery). and the second line, of taking in happiness via the success and happiness of others, reminds me of the core message: how does one find happiness? and how does one achieve joy? can one achieve sustainable and real joy through the happiness of others even when one is not truly happy themselves? connection to successful and stable relationships

    1. Working at the intersections of present reality and future hope for change, the situated imagination shapes experience into knowledge by helping to con-struct meaning as well as to stretch it in new directions.

      All of this situated imagination talk reminds me of Nathanial Hawthorne's "My Kinsman Major Molineux." I did some deep dive research when writing a paper and remembered a philosophic situation that is at the core of the story. It goes something like this: Say there is a blind man, who has no sight, is situated in front of a painting. On that painting is an apple of sorts. With that man not having ever seen an apple, he would not have any experiences to help shape the representation that it is an apple. To push it further, say you gave him sight, would he be able to determine the apple to be real or a visual representation - I think there was something about him not experiencing or knowing about either.

    2. he

      The silence component reminds me of a time I remember from high school. When we were in the middle of reading Thoreau, we took a trip out to our local state park to simply sit...think...write... We had no phones and no distraction. We weren't allowed to sit by anyone or have conversation. It was so therapeutic...simply watching the water roll and the trees blow in the breeze.

    3. I continue to learn acceptance of my body while not reducing myself to it.

      This reminds me of a quote from Looking for Alaska that goes something like, "She was more than the sum of all of her parts." I love that line and it reminds me to not equate my value and worth as a person with my physical body.

    1. one of those kids who isn’t scared of sincerity, of action, of authority. To be the kind of smart, engaged young person who actually understood things about the globe.

      this reminds me of greta and how these days people as young as her are fighting to change the world more than those who have been on it longer

    1. These disparities between portrayal of low-income youthof color in civic literature in comparison to new directions of engagementand participation suggest that previous, fixed definitions of civics must bechallenged

      This reminds me of changes in perceptions of first-generation college students (FGS), who tend to face similar challenges as these students. A colleague who is researching FGS library usage, and changes in how researchers have viewed FGS over time, told me that they used to be viewed negatively, almost as enemies, since they often start college not knowing how to use an academic library. Thankfully, that perception is slowly changing and librarians are working to meet these students "where they are" and use FGS' funds of knowledge to teach research skills. Hopefully we'll see similar changes in perceptions of disenfranchised middle- and high-school students and their readiness / ability to participate in civic life.

    1. I hope this space will also allow students to make their own connections within and between their classes and their lives.

      This reminds me a lot of that post you made in the Moodle forum ("Gregorian Speech & Interdisciplinarity Prompt" section--everyone should go read it, it's great!) months ago about how students love to make connections between classes and how they love to talk to you about those connections. I'm so glad you're still interested in that and intend to make it a goal for your classes! I know that I personally love doing that and also love talking about it with profs, so I'm clearly BIASED, but genuinely, I see other students talk about connections between their classes (just to me or to each other) and I think it might be worthwhile to really foster that kind of synthesis/ integrated understanding.

    1. “On Margate Sands. I can connect Nothing with nothing. The broken fingernails of dirty hands. My people humble people who expect Nothing.”

      https://youtu.be/h6sFG7qOd4A?t=46

      This stanza reminds me of the chorus in the song “Wastelands” by Linkin Park, especially the lines, “I can connect / Nothing with nothing" and "My people humble people who expect / Nothing”. In the song, Chester sings, “In the wastelands of today / When there's nothing left to lose / And there's nothing more to take”. The idea that in both ends, you will be left with “nothing” or that you will have "nothing". This idea of having "nothing" reflects this stanza, when the speaker mentions that there is “nothing” for them to “connect” and because there is “nothing” left, their “humble people” expects “nothing”.

    2. If there were water    And no rock    If there were rock    And also water    And water    A spring

      I'm a total nerd for Spongebob and the imagery present within this bit reminds me of Patrick's house. It's as if Elliot is saying, "if there was no Patrick, there would be no rock, and therefore there would be more water." Because after all, Spongebob and his friends live under the sea surrounded by water and rock.

    3. The river’s tent is broken: the last fingers of leaf Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.

      This bit right here reminds me of Robert Frost and his poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" More specifically, when Frost writes, "Whose woods these are I think I know. / His house is in the village though; / He will not see me stopping here / To watch his woods fill up with snow." (1-4) This bit within Frost's poem talks of frozen bodies of water much like the river is discussed here in T.S Elliot. Elliot talks of the wasteland and how the land is brown and the bugs have departed and this is very relatable to Frost and how the snow is sort of a wasteland as everything stays away, including nymphs.

    4. I do not know whether a man or a woman —But who is that on the other side of you?

      This reminds me of "In a Station of the Metro" because of the apparition or the ghost the speaker is seeing. It is like the blurring of the faces we discussed, the speaker does not know how to identify the "other" person. The third person is blurred, a dark figure that cannot be pinned down. Unlike Pound, the speaker here is interested in knowing who this apparition or ghost-like figure is as if it is "haunting" them.

    5. Who is the third who walks always beside you? When I count, there are only you and I together

      “There are things in that paper that nobody knows but me, or ever will”.

      This stanza reminds me of “Old Yellow Wallpaper” because it seems that the speaker is seeing another person, but they don’t know if that person is real. In this part of the poem there are two people walking together, but the speaker sees someone else. The speaker doesn't confirm whether or not the person they are walking with sees this "third" person as well. Therefore, similar to the narrator in "Old Yellow Wallpaper", perhaps this "third" person who is walking "beside" their friend, is someone "nobody knows but" the speaker.

    6. The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers, Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends Or other testimony of summer nights. The nymphs are departed. And their friends, the loitering heirs of city directors; Departed, have left no addresses. By the waters of Leman I sat down and wept . . . Sweet Thames, run softly till I end my song, Sweet Thames, run softly, for I speak not loud or long. But at my back in a cold blast I hear The rattle of the bones, and chuckle spread from ear to ear

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_a46WJ1viA

      This excerpt from the poem reminds me of a Bridge Over Troubled Water by Paul Simon. In that song he describes himself as a bridge over the tears and sorrow of a lover or a friend, allowing them to reach the other side without falling into the rough waters. It seems that this man, in this poem is without company and is weeping over his lost lover, "By the waters of Leman I sat down and wept". Leman means a lover/sweetheart. The river bears no friends, harlots, or even garbage to accompany him. All he has is his song, he prays the Thames will remain undefiled long enough for him to finish his suffering in peace.

    7. Unreal City Under the brown fog of a winter noon

      Eliot's depiction of this wasteland is enhanced even further with the menacing backdrop of a thick dusty fog. It reminds me of the horror video game Silent Hill 2, which uses a thick fog in certain segments to great effect and creates an intense atmosphere of dread.

    8. Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night.

      http://teaching.lfhanley.net/english528fa19/texts/gertrude-stein/ This part reminds me of Gertrude Stein's poem, 'Sacred Emily.' The repetition and slight alteration of the words 'good night ladies' echoes Stein's continuous use of this kind of language in her poem, e.g. 'begging to state begging to state begging to state alright.' This obsessive repetition works to give off a kind of madness in the poems; each speaker gives off an impression of instability in their repeating, and slight alteration, of certain phrases.

    9. “On Margate Sands. I can connect Nothing with nothing. The broken fingernails of dirty hands. My people humble people who expect Nothing.”

      This reminds me of John Sloan's Night Windows as it makes me think of endless toil and hard labour. The artwork has a similar feeling as it depicts people living in places of hardship and surrounded by the black fog of a city as if they cannot escape from toil.

    10. What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man, You cannot say, or guess, for you know only A heap of broken images,

      This reminds me of Levine's 'They Feed They Lion'. "What branches grow/Out of this stony rubbish?" Stony rubbish echoes the negative imagery in the first stanzo of Levine's poem. "A heap of broken images" - Levine's poem features a lot of fractured, undeveloped images that heap up to show what "they lion" grow "out of". Also links to the Armory show and the exhibition of Cubist art, that fragments images to show multiple perceptions of the same subject. []

    11. Who is the third who walks always beside you? When I count, there are only you and I together But when I look ahead up the white road There is always another one walking beside you Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded I do not know whether a man or a woman —But who is that on the other side of you?

      This stanza reminds me of Edvard Munch's "Two Beings", as if the painting is being seen from the narrator's POV. The black figure could be seen as the third person who is unidentifiable.

    12. Here is no water

      Reminds me of that episode of Spongebob where he goes in Sandy's underwater dome and being a "sea creature", he starts to dry out and slowly becomes crusty just as Eliot describes this certain scenario with "here is no water".

    13. When lovely woman stoops to folly and Paces about her room again, alone, She smoothes her hair with automatic hand, And puts a record on the gramophone.

      This reminds me of the artwork, "Sunday, Women Drying Their Hair" because it creates the imagery of a woman performing a daily routine or process. It's a similar feeling to the painting, in which the woman appear relaxed and calm as they dry their hair together. It also shows the importance of the working-class women, but invites the reader to look at them in the poem and the painting from a new perspective.

    14. And still she cried, and still the world pursues, “Jug Jug” to dirty ears.

      http://teaching.lfhanley.net/english528fa19/texts/charlotte-perkins-gilman-the-yellow-wallpaper-1892/

      This aristocratic woman reminds me of the narrator of the Yellow Wallpaper. They are both women of means, but clearly suffer from some sort of mental illness. The opulence of the woman's things, and the beauty of the narrator's ancestral halls do nothing to curb their inner thoughts.

    15. And I will show you something different from either Your shadow at morning striding behind you Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you; I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

      These lines always stood out to me. They're so direct, because they directly address the reader (or, the reader through the narrator) and make the goth, macabre part of my soul very happy. There's a song called Memory Eternal (or Vichnaya Pamyat) that is performed in traditionally Eastern Orthodox churches, often during funeral ceremonies. A recording of it is also part of HBO's Chernobyl soundtrack. It reminds me of these lines, through its directness about death, its slow, sad melody. This recording is also dramatic, much like this poem. If you haven't seen the show, I highly recommend it.

    16. And other withered stumps of time Were told upon the walls; staring forms Leaned out, leaning, hushing the room enclosed.

      This haunted description of the room reminds me of ![The Yellow Wallpaper] (http://teaching.lfhanley.net/english528fa19/texts/charlotte-perkins-gilman-the-yellow-wallpaper-1892/). There is a common sense of buildings have thoughts and feelings of their own, and of walls having the ability to reach out to those who live between them. It's certainly a gothic description.

    17. I sat upon the shore Fishing, with the arid plain behind me Shall I at least set my lands in order?

      This bit of the Wasteland reminds me of this painting from the Armory show of 1913. The speaker here sits upon the shore fishing as there are arid lands behind them and this is very apparent in the photo as you can see water in the very back of the painting. Its as if the speaker of the Wasteland is one of the people present within the painting following up to their word and getting their lands in order as well.

    18.   After the torchlight red on sweaty faces After the frosty silence in the gardens After the agony in stony places The shouting and the crying Prison and palace and reverberation Of thunder of spring over distant mountains He who was living is now dead We who were living are now dying With a little patience

      https://youtu.be/46GwJbrMghQ

      This Reminds me of the Shawshank Redemption scene, and One of Andy’s famous quotes, “Get busy living or get busy dying.” This part reminds me of being stranded within this “Waste Land” and not being able to Better the situation because of thunder and the imprisonment that comes with it. “He who was living is now dead” reminds me of ex prisoners who are released after years of a sentence and being brought into a world they do not remember.. just like what happened to Brooks in the movie (I won’t spoil it Now). It is a struggle to live within the Waste Land, and they are “dying with a little patience.” There is more to life and the world, than being stuck within the waste land. This scene fits perfectly with this piece. I also thought of Andy’s ending in the movie, his own sweaty face, and demeanor, after all the agony he endures.

    1. Those who score high on SDO believe that some groups are inherently better than others, and because of this, there is no such thing as group “equality.”

      This reminds me of the white supremists in America. (Although they are found all over the world they most widely known to be Americans so that's why I'm talking about that country specifically.) White supremacists believe that they are better than every other race, and are usually homophobic and don't accept other religions.

    2. In general, those high in SDO have a strong belief in work ethic—that hard work always pays off and leisure is a waste of time. People higher on SDO tend to choose and thrive in occupations that maintain existing group hierarchies

      reminds me of the law of the jungle

    1. they seek out agreeable information and learn it more easily; and they avoid, ignore, devalue, forget, or argue against information that contradicts their beliefs.

      this sort of reminds me of the concept of people wanting to practice what they excel in rather than what they may be lacking in

    1. Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislation?

      This reminds me of the Declaration of Independence, which outlines the idea that when the government is no longer working for the benefit of the people, the people have a right to rebel or change it.

    1. Queertheoryfurthercomplicatesour viewofwhatishappeningbydestabilizingthe mostfundamentalcategoriesalongwhichwemightstarttodistinguishculturaldifference.

      This reminds me of Anderson's TedTalks from another class I'm in. Anderson talked about dismantling things to better persuade the audience, and in this case, it's pretty similar.

    2. thelanguageused

      This part reminds me of George Lakoff's article about framing and the use of language. Your choice of words can influence a person and make them feel certain emotions (doesn't matter if it's a good or bad emotion)

    1. They are losing confidence in people who run virtually all institutions, including religion, but they express trust in God, America-and television.

      I find this very interesting because I definitely see how this applies to many people. I know people that claim to be liberal for social issues but conservative for economic issues. In theory, it may sound good, but it is nearly impossible to have both. This quote reminds me of those attitudes.

    1. Life is short and the worldis at least half terrible, and for every kindstranger, there is one who would break you,though I keep this from my children.

      Reminds me of what it has felt like when my parents would warn me to stay away from boys "because they're trouble" when they actually meant to say that they don't want me to experience a broken heart at the hands of someone else.

    1. as you take it apart piece  by  piece  and can't feel  anything,  can't  feel the tree growing under your feet, the eyes poking night only to find another night to compare it to.

      When your attention is diverted, you forget to take a look at the things changing, you forget to inspect things around you happening. When the author says before this section "it helps to be between wars," it amplifies the the meaning highlighted. This sort of reminds me of people who watch the news and allow themselves to become so involved in what is happening on the screen that they forget to look at the world beyond it.

    2. Maybe I can't find the proper way to rebel  or  damn it,  I can't  leave.  I want to,  but you grow inside of me. And as  I  watch   you,  before  I  know  it,  I'm  too  heavy,  too full  of  you  to  move. Maybe  that's what they meant when they said you shouldn't love a country too much.

      I thought this was a pretty powerful sentence. It plays a double meaning in the prose as the author is pregnant and the father is either in war or died in the war. The child reminds her of her hatred for the country the father went to war with and the hatred that she wants to move on but can't because the child is preventing her from doing so.

      *May've worded this wrong. Please correct me if so.

  4. via3.hypothes.is via3.hypothes.is
    1. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

      This reminds me of Gilgamesh's passage across the great body of water to immortality

    1. ll.”

      The fact that the government can't see there is an obvious need for affordable housing reminds me of how stupid people can be. Young people still living with families would make it hard to have families, that and the small space. The living might not improve because the government doesn't see that it has to. It's hard to move, so that's why people don't really leave. That and they want to have their freedoms they have in their city rather than move to China and lose them.

    1. "Don't bump your head," said Jack, and stepped before to open the door leading into her apartment,—an unfinished chamber over the kitchen, the roof slanting nearly to the floor, so that the bed could stand only in the middle of the room. A small half window furnished light and air. Jack returned to the sitting room with the remark that the child would soon outgrow those quarters.

      This reminds me of when Harriet Jacobs was hiding out in the attic of her house where there was very little space for her to even move around or stretch.

    1. They notice the boisterous heavy drinker at the party but fail to consider all the students not attending the party.

      This reminds me of a class I took last year when they asked us to estimate how many people drink in highschool and college, just to see how wrong we were. Why are our perceptions of this so wrong?

    2. That is, we act the way most people—or most people like us—act. This is not an unreasonable strategy. Other people often have information that we do not, especially when we find ourselves in new situations.

      reminds me of the teenage girls in a gallery in the video about NYC in the previous module (Conformity: Investigate)

    3. His eyes told him one thing, but five out of five people apparently saw something else.

      This reminds me of a story - "The Emperor's New Clothes". In the story, the emperor was naked but he said only intelligent people can see his clothes. Nobody wanted to seem stupid, so nobody said anything except a little boy. After he said that the emperor is naked, everyone was relieved that they were actually correct and started laughing. It only takes one person for others to join and express their true thoughts.

    1. bifurcatedracialuniverse

      This reminds me of when my mother use to tell me "its a black and white world" which was always confusing because their is so much more than just those two.

    1. You can jot some keywords here:

      it reminds me of open source, with all the possibilities but also the hurdles, especially for non-technical people. (Once you're invited to collaborate on GitHub working with Markdown, there's already one big hurdle to take.)

    1. His characters were called Damien, Samantha and Brad. Not entirely unheard of here, but odd enough as a group to raise an eyebrow. While workshopping his story with the class, I asked him why he had not named them Salim or Dala or Bilal. His name, after all, was as Arab as they come. “But Miss,” he replied, incredulous. “I’m not writing about war and bombs and tragedy. Why would I give them such names?”

      This reminds me of the Ted Talk about the dangers of a single story! So sad and so true in this case.

    1. For the security of life, in criminal prosecutions, the bills of rights of most of the states have declared, that no man shall be held to answer for a crime until he is made fully acquainted with the charge brought against him; he shall not be compelled to accuse, or furnish evidence against himself — The witnesses against him shall be brought face to face, and he shall be fully heard by himself or counsel. That it is essential to the security of life and liberty, that trial of facts be in the vicinity where they happen.

      It's good to acknowledge that this should be the way to go about trials rather than having the trial not in the suspect's favor. A suspect should always know what they are being accused of and have the right to defend themselves. This reminds me of how some suspects can be persuaded into thinking they did a crime because of the manipulation by officials when they had nothing to do with it.

    2. It is here taken for granted, that all agree in this, that whatever government we adopt, it ought to be a free one; that it should be so framed as to secure the liberty of the citizens of America, and such an one as to admit of a full, fair, and equal representation of the people.

      This is interesting to me because the two things they all can agree on is liberty and equality. It reminds me of the prompt of is liberty and equality necessary in Democracy? They are trying to decide which form of government best suits them and it states that it must have liberty and equality. Their government eventually becomes a democracy which mean that, they are both necessary in democracy.It makes me wonder to what extent did they think liberty and equality were required? For example did they want political liberty and little economic liberty or everything equal across the board?

    3. But rulers have the same propensities as other men; they are as likely to use the power with which they are vested for private purposes, and to the injury and oppression of those over whom they are placed, as individuals in a state of nature are to injure and oppress one another. It is therefore as proper that bounds should be set to their authority, as that government should have at first been instituted to restrain private injuries.

      This reminds me about the earlier readings talking about the dangers of monarchy. This is why we need government protections to prevent from human nature. The separation of the federal government and state governments are an important protection for the liberty of the people. Having the extra check on federal government can prevent and hinder negativity from a king-like president.

    1. In freedom's cause their voices raise, And burst the bonds of every slave; Till, north and south, and east and west, The wrongs we bear shall be redressed.

      This reminds me of the poem/song titled "Lift every voice and sing."

    2. And hopes too bright to be enjoyed,

      This line reminds me of how sometimes, we only worry of the future. Everyone always says to live in the moment, but are we really? I constantly worry for our future and hope for something that seems too good to be true. In our world today, I feel as though we can never really catch our breath. We are constantly worried about the next day, year, or even five minutes.

    1. When ye plead for the wrecked and fallen,          The exile from far-distant shores,      Remember that men are still wasting          Life's crimson around your own doors.

      This reminds me of the current immigration crisis.

    1. Each gem that sparkles in my crown, Or glitters on my throne, Grows poor and pale when she appears, My beautiful, my own!"

      This stanza reminds me of thought she’s having that involves something she owns and loves

    1. Can you blame me that I did not see Beneath his burning kiss The serpent’s wiles, nor even hear The deadly adder hiss?

      This stanza reminds me of the saying “love will make you do some crazy things.” I also think the lover is making her feel like loving him is right when it’s really wrong .

    1. Everyone worked together to make a ladder.

      This sentence reminds me of "17776: How Football Will Look in the Future." It captures how humans inherently create structure out of coexistence. Whether life is endless and perfect, or filled with destruction, people find purpose in one another.

    1. Under natural conditions, the neonate and the microbiota develop in an orchestrated fashion under the nutritional, immunological, hormonal and prebiotic effect of maternal milk—a single food of complex biological formulation

      This reminds me of the example of phenotypic plasticity from food in our textbook where queen bees develop differently as a result of ingesting royal jelly.

    1. Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit There is not even silence in the mountains But dry sterile thunder without rain There is not even solitude in the mountains But red sullen faces sneer and snarl From doors of mudcracked houses

      This section reminds me of Cormac Mccarthy's Blood Meridian.

    2. Who is the third who walks always beside you? When I count, there are only you and I together But when I look ahead up the white road There is always another one walking beside you Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded I do not know whether a man or a woman —But who is that on the other side of you?

      This reminds me of those "jesus was walking with me" on the beach posters where there are two sets of foot prints in the sand.

    3. I said

      The constant repetition of the word "said", either "I said" or "she said" and so on, i think it mimicking dialogue, but there are no quotation marks like some of the other stanzas. The repetition reminds me of the Gertrude Stein poem we read last week. Perhaps Elliot wanted to incorporate a style of repetition in this part of the poem by using elements of dialogue.

    1. Hollywood acts as if it only has to provide more of the same, printing a Star Treklogo on so many widgets

      Reminds me of the Star Wars franchise (the new movies). They had their name on everything and it was shocking to see the sell-out mentality. They weren't using their brand to promote products that the viewers would genuinely enjoy, instead they were slapping their name on AA batteries and six packs of tangerines.

    1. of the opium trade pointed out that it would end the corruption and blac mailing of officials and bring in a steady revenue through tariffs. It woUt also allow domestically grown Chinese opium-believed to be of bette-quality than Indian opium and cheaper to market-gradually to squeez:: out that of the foreigners. Many officials, however, considered this vie pernicious. They argued that foreigners were cruel and greedy, and th · the Chinese did not need opium, domestic or foreign. They thought th-prohibitions made by Emperor Jiaqing, far from being abandoned, shoul be pursued with even greater rigor.

      This reminds me of the current debates about legalizing marijuana in United States.

    1. attack by evacuating their homes and removing their material possessions

      this reminds me of the raids of the ghettos during wwii similar destruction tactics

    2. to starvation.

      That is such a low policy or as they would say at that time "not as a gentleman would've act"(: . They were not targeting the warriors directly but instead the women and children who did not even openly fought. They were just living on THEIR land. Kind of reminds me of the beginning of communism as a modern comparison. When people were living in their houses on their land for centuries, and when the communists came in, they just confiscated all these private properties without any concern where the owners now going to live. It did not matter what kind of people were living there, men or women, their status and sides in politics, nobody had a say in anything.

    3. “When your army entered the country of the Six Nations, we called you town destroyer; and to this day, when that name is heard, our women look behind them and turn pale, and our children cling close to the necks of their mothers.”

      VERY different from the picture painted in American history that celebrates Washington as a founding father and all-American hero. It reminds me a lot of Christopher Columbus and the way American history portrays him and the reality that American Indians were faced with by his arrival in the Americas.

    1. they found that people who were left out of a group activity displayed heightened cortical activity in two specific areas of the brain—the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and the anterior insula. These areas of the brain are associated with the experience of physical pain sensations

      reminds me of the heartbreak lesson

    1. because while the scantily clad or bare-breasted women may have seemed to be objectified, they were really on top, because now they had chosen to be sex objects

      This reminds me of the new movie out, Hustlers, where the female strippers take advantage of male customers. It seems that similar themes are still used in media today about sex work.**

    2. hus girls-white middle-class girls, white rich girls-became a media fixation,

      This reminds me of the Kardashians and their whole empire - what it glorifies and stands for.

    3. They demanded, in their colossal, intercontinen-tal hit "Wannabe," that boys treat them with respect or take a hike.

      This reminds me of a lot of songs nowadays, especially songs by Lizzo like "Truth Hurts" and "Juice".

    1. Less often noted in the standard histories is the phenomenon of daytime talk shows for women. As Michele Hilmes's research on the daytime host Mary Margaret McBride demonstrates, daytime radio also included talk shows organized around a host who often rose to celebrity status.8

      This reminds me of how we were talking about how tv shows were used to sell things and a lot of these talkshows involve selling products.

    1. devil-may-care men who have taken to railroading out of sheer lust of adventure—

      Kind of reminds me how so many people I went to High School with went into the service because they barely left the small town we grew up in.

    1. Not in description. Day way. A blow is delighted.

      This whole poem reminds me of the individual frames that compose a film. Individually they are just pictures that stand alone, but when put in motion they form a film, a coherent narrative.

    2. A blow is delighted.

      Not to get fake deep or overshare or anything, but this poem reminds me of some of my thought processes back when I had a psychotic break in high school. Stein, you're a fucking delight.

    3. Not writing not writing another. Another one. Think. Jack Rose Jack Rose. Yard.

      This reminds me of how some people would go through their thoughts by making connections and talking about what certain things remind them of.

    1. Consider whichever of these you believe not to be knowledge but dif-ferent from it; do they not at times harm us, at other times benefit us? Courage, for example, when it is not wisdom but like a kind of reckless-ness: when a man is reckless without understanding, he is harmed, when with understanding, he is benefitted. -Yes.

      This kinda reminds me of Aristotle and the mean between two extremes theory he had...except with knowledge. IT seems in this view, skills are tools that can only be cultivated through knowing how to use them

      Kinda reminds me of the book 'things fall apart' were essentially you see the degradation of an african mans life after christian missionaries 'convert' his village. And the book served the message of how this enforcement of european cultures erased and killed the indigenous' peoples way of life for the worst.

    1. DEMARGINALIZING THE INTERSECTIONis also due to the influence of a way of thinking about discrimina-tion which structures politics so that struggles are categorized assingular issues. Moreover, this structure imports a descriptive andnormative view of society that reinforces the status quo.It is somewhat ironic that those concerned with alleviating theills of racism and sexism should adopt such a top-down approachto discrimination. If their efforts instead began with addressing theneeds and problems of those who are most disadvantaged and withrestructuring and remaking the world where necessary, then otherswho are singularly disadvantaged would also benefit.

      This reminds me of a conversation I had in my Gender in Pop culture class for womenstds. They mentioned the reason for the division of cities and suburbs for because white men wants to keep women away from work and the day-to-day business routine within cities. This doesn't take into account redlining or the struggle/ reality that black women face. It almost seems like it writes black women out of history and works from "top to bottom" in solution gender inequality

    1. Thefirst step in answeringthese questions is to reject the view of methods and digital data analysis as‘pure’technical toolsin the hands of objective agents, and subject those very tools to a more rigorous form of study:methods must become objects of inquiry.

      This reminds me of what Bodong has discussed in the Chinese paper on the difference between "analytics" and "analysis". If we can treated "analysis" as an objective, pure technical process, or maybe we cannot, "analytics" can never be objective. For any research, what is considered as evidence, how to collect evidence, and how to interpret the results, either the quantitative or qualitative, are far from objective or pure technical.

    1. Above the oven window was a TV screen that presented an even more spectacular sight.

      This reminds me of those new "smart fridges" that have a screen installed on the front. The integration of the TV into the kitchen seems like a repeatedly tried idea.

    2. As feminists have argued, this separation has justified the exploita-tion of the housewife whose work at home simply docs not count.

      This reminds me of how I Love Lucy shown light on how difficult and important housework can be when the gender roles were reversed. The episode provoked new ideas on how to view and value a woman's work in the house.

    1. Step aside, please, while our officer inspects your bad attitude.  You have no rights we are bound to respect.  Please remain calm, or we can’t be held responsible  for what happens to you. 

      this reminds me of how POC are expected to remain calm, still, and polite when treated like subhumans by cops otherwise the cops will murder them. They are essentially treated like they have no rights, simply because of the color of their skin

    2. We are not responsible for your lost or stolen relatives.  We cannot guarantee your safety if you disobey our instructions.  We do not endorse the causes or claims of people begging for handouts.  We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. 

      This reminds me of the concentration camps for latin american refugees, innocent citizens murdered by the police, mistreatment of homeless folk, etc. Powerful stuff

    1. The caged bird sings    with a fearful trill    of things unknown    but longed for still    and his tune is heard    on the distant hill    for the caged bird    sings of freedom.

      Angelou builds a rhyme scheme as the piece goes, but it is sporadic. It reminds me of someone finding their voice, finding their rhythm as the poem goes, much like the caged bird.

    2. But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams    his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream    his wings are clipped and his feet are tied    so he opens his throat to sing.

      This reminds me of the begining of "Their eyes were watching God: when Zora Neale Hurston says " Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men." I used this quote because I thought Hurston and Angelou was making the same comment on dreams. This line makes me think that black men can never achieve their dreams being a "caged bird" or disadvantaged being as so his "wings are clipped and feet or tied" or in a literal sense have zero opportunities or chances to express their freedom.

    1. legitimate ways

      This kind of reminds me of how Aristotle views plot within tragedy. The action that is occurring needs to be believable and probable to the audience.

    1. !

      i enjoyed ready the story. i thought it was driven with craziness and suspens which are things i like to read. Also shows how love can make a person go crazy or do crazy things. It is laso can be relatble to modern days because there are so many people that have affairs or are involve in love triangles. kinda reminds me of a novela.

    1. As a result, students are held accountable for success in classrooms that are vastly different from what their futures will most likely demand of them, and they are well aware of this disconnect.

      This reminds me of a great TED Talk by Sir Ken Robinson where he talks about how the students we teach today will retire in over 40 years, and over that time we can't possibly imagine the world they will have lived and worked in. Therefore, it is more important to teach social/emotional skills because they are more transferable and relevant than anything else.

    1. I won't tell you where the place is, the dark mesh of the woods meeting the unmarked strip of light— ghost-ridden crossroads, leafmold paradise: I know already who wants to buy it, sell it, make it disappear.

      This whole stanza reminds me of when a child tells a secret that they know wasn't meant to be told, so they don't let any information out and wait for it to be erased or forgotten. It is like the country is hiding a secret that is waiting to be erased.

    1. I’d be silly to insist that you’re wrong to think strawberry ice cream is better than chocolate.

      This reminds me of the bike analogy. it's a simple way to express how ridiculous some arguments are, and how easily they can be avoided.

    1. For example, after /r/creepshots (dedicated to sharing sexualized images of unknowing women) was banned, it was reborn as /r/CandidFashionPolice. Likewise, /r/niggers (banned in 2013) found new life as the equally odious /r/GreatApes and /r/coontown

      reminds me of the myth of Hercules and the hydra; cut off one head and two more grow back in its place

    1. 'Being a woman in the eighteenth century', she writes, 'was an intensely mimetic and mod-ern project, capturing not what women are, but what women are like'.

      This reminds me of the gender roles women have to be accustomed to. Women are supposed to be delicate and polite, so we are. In the same instance, women in the eighteenth century started dressing up like the image women are "supposed" to look like, not dressing up in their own taste or fashion opinions, that truly capture their personalities.

    1. That the artwork once was "original and authentic" is considered much less important.

      Reminds me of Ukiyo-e woodblock prints of Japan. "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa" by Hokusai is an example. Mass production of art, each print was unique. Was there a cross cultural influence?

    1. The cook had to salt them, and the wicked queen ate them, and thought she had eaten the lung and liver of Snow White.

      This reminds me of the part in the movie we are currently watching when the model starts licking and drinking the pretty girl's blood. I wonder if they believed it would make them more beautiful by doing this.

    1. Mrs. Flint, like many southern women, was totally deficient in energy. She had not strength to superintend her household affairs; but her nerves were so strong, that she could sit in her easy chair and see a woman whipped, till the blood trickled from every stroke of the lash

      She was a heartless woman and couldn’t careless and the suffering of slaves. Almost reminds me of Epps’s mistress for Solomon Northups’s narrative.

    1. Helpers arenotimmunetopainintheirownlives andinfactsomestudies showthatthey aremorevulnerabletolifechanges suchas divorceanddifficulties suchas addictions thanpeoplewhodoless stressfulwork

      This reminds me of when I was dealing with my own struggles during undergrad. I thought I was being week as I coached other students through similar situations. I figured since I give guidance to others, I should be able to help myself. It was a dangerous thought process

    1. What compelled the Grimms to concentrate on old German epics, tales, and literature was a belief that the most natural and pure forms of culture—those which held the community together—were linguistic and based in history.

      When I see this, it reminds me about how we use history so that we do not repeat the past. We use these stories to learn morals.

    1. I argue that classification schemes are socially produced and embedded structures

      This reminds me of the Olson article when she discusses Cutter's classification terms in favor of a "singular public" -- controlled vocabulary and hierarchical structure.

    1. Elementary and secondary schools play a big role in this pattern of underachievement,11 and calls are mounting for “new alignment” between high school and college curricula.

      Connection - This reminds me of the article we read over the summer about the normandy school district. Kids not going to college or underachieving in high school comes from their learning foundation. When elementary school or middle schools are weak, it makes higher up learning more challenging because it was never instilled into them as children.

    1. Also, in almost all societies, education was only for the males. In the second half of the 20th century, women increasingly continued on to university level, and also found jobs. This also resulted in changes in their roles as mothers in the traditional family.

      This reminds me of what is currently happening/what has currently been happening in Japanese society. There has been a significant decline in childbirth; families are having less children which is predicted to have significant negative effects to society. Although there is a plethora of reasons as to why this is becoming more common (and therefore a larger issue), one of them is the change in social norms for women. Women have joined the workforce and therefore feel less incentive or desire to have children since leaving work for childbearing would affect their work status/cause a pause in their career. It is interesting how these sociological changes in social norms has effect in the way society views the average family.

    1. Pay no attention to the criticism of men who have never themselves written a notable work.

      Reminds me of the quote, "Don't take criticism from people you wouldn't take advice from."

    1. For forms of government let fools contest, That which is best administered is best

      Does this mean, the ruler with the most absolute power over his people is doing the best job? This reminds me of Machiavelli. Is it better to be feared than loved in the instance of ruling?

    1. George believed that by not asking students to bring things from home, he had been “doing them a favor,” and “making the playing field more even.”

      This reminds me of a great quote (though I can't quite put a finger on who said it) "no learning happens in a vacuum." Everything around us influences how we interpret things, they should not be entirely left out.

    2. Through this lens, we look closely at learning and the ways that engagement, performance, and meaning making were mediated by the creation of a learning con-text that valued and connected student words and worlds

      This reminds me of the sociocultural theory of learning: interacting with one's community to maximize learning the content in class.

    1. A schema is a mental model, or representation, of any of the various things we come across in our daily lives. A schema (related to the word schematic) is kind of like a mental blueprint for how we expect something to be or behave.

      this reminds me of the fact that when I speak of something, the picture of that thing always comes up to my mind, and sometimes also sounds or smells or feelings.

    2. but many of our decisions and behaviors are driven by unconscious processes and implicit attitudes we are unaware of having.

      Reminds me of the idea of the autobiographical author

    3. Although you’re probably right that you will feel negative (and not positive) emotions, will you be able to accurately estimate how negative you’ll feel? What about how long those negative feelings will last?

      This reminds me of thinking you'll "get over something" but it sticks with you

    1. In order to do so, the person must first realize that people indeed have desires and goals in their minds and that these inner desires and goals motivate (initiate, energize, put into motion) their behavior.

      Reminds me of Kant's moral philosophy in his book "Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals"

    2. the manner in which we perform our roles as actors in the everyday theatre of social life.

      Also reminds me of Artistotle's "humans are civic animals" and Ibn Khaldoun's observation of societies.

    3. he may say that she is “nice,” or “helpful,” or that she is “a good girl most of the time.” By the time, she hits fifth grade (age 10), Jessica sees herself in more complex ways, attributing traits to the self such as “honest,” “moody,” “outgoing,” “shy,” “hard-working,” “smart,” “good at math but not gym class,” or “nice except when I am around my annoying brother.” By late childhood and early adolescence, the personality traits that people attribute to themselves, as well as those

      This reminds me of Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial development. As a child ages and learns more about the environment around them, they constantly are trying to adapt to the new roles.

    4. main currency

      reminds me of "social economics theory"-these traits and how well we play them, or how valuable they are-mean greater "currency" and greater success as a social actor

    5. reflexiveReflexivityThe idea that the self reflects back upon itself; that the I (the knower, the subject) encounters the Me (the known, the object). Reflexivity is a fundamental property of human selfhood.—it reflects back on itself.

      For myself, this reminds about when I make a decision and think "what about the experiences I've had, has influenced me to make that decision or react the way that I have".

    1. During a study, sociologists must ensure the safety of participants and immediately stop work if a subject becomes potentially endangered on any level.

      This reminds me of the Stanford Prison Experiment that was discontinued after the researcher let the participants come to harm. All the participants were informed of the potential risks in the experiment and they were split into two groups: inmates and guards.

    1. altogether true; nevertheless the Sand-man continued to be for me a fearful incubus,and I was always seized with terror-

      I related to this. It reminds me of how I, and perhaps many other people, can be scared of scary movies, even though we know it isn't real. We may not believe in actual ghosts, yet we still get scared of them.

    1. Or trade the memory of this night for food.

      The poem includes an element of food, which emphasizes love being an object. It is something that can be "traded" and replaced with another essential object. It also reminds me of how important food is to the body, which could connect to how important love is to human life.

    2. Yet many a man is making friends with death

      This places love and death in opposition, which is a huge theme in 1900s lit. Reminds me of Auden's "We must love one another or die."

      So, love is not all to life but it is the opposite of death. Life and love are partners, like the end of the poem suggests. We need love.

    1. Further, longevity, health, child outcomes, and life satisfaction are all associated with a higher education degree.

      Seeing all the benefits of getting a degree reminds me why i'm here to begin with. That was motivating to ready, and the statistics of college graduates earning $1,000,000 over a lifetime is encouraging. Something I find sad is that people are in debt for years after college.

    1. mulddialectalmix.

      this reminds me of a Sunset Park block party where all the women bring out their food: Ecuadorian, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Guatemalan, and the list goes on.

    1. used to believe in eating pokeweed shoots, the old Southern women. They said it renewed your blood. My mother believed it. Every spring she used to send me out in the woods to pick pokeweed shoots. And I believe it. So every spring, if I think about it, I go pick some and cook them. It’s not that I like them so much—in fact, they give me gas—but they remind me of the days

      haha this is funny, it reminds me of back home on the things my grandparent would make an entire family drink or sometimes eat had me dead laughing. and the part where she say"s it gives her gas" i can relate to this

    1. But one day a most unexpected misfortune befell them. Their house caught fire and was speedily burnt to the ground, with all the splendid furniture, the books, pictures, gold, silver, and precious goods it contained; and this was only the beginning of their troubles. Their father, who had till this moment prospered in all ways, suddenly lost every ship he had on the sea, either by dint of pirates, shipwreck, or fire. Then he heard that his clerks in distant countries, whom he trusted entirely, had proved unfaithful; and at last from great wealth he fell into the direst poverty.

      This reminds me of the part in the bible of a man named Job who as prosperous and he had everything and then he lost everything and ended up with nothing.

    1. You need to start somewhere.

      I love this because it reminds me of one of my favorite quotes; " The secret of getting ahead is getting started." I love this quote because its very inspirational to me and means something to me as well.

    1. Second, upon returning to the lab, participants in all three conditions were told they would later undergo electric shocks

      reminds me of Stanley Milgram experiment

    2. (at least in general terms that do not give away the hypothesis)

      This reminds me of shows like brain games, as they conduct a lot of studies with volunteers, but the volunteers usually know what they are getting into.

    1. At a minimum, there is evidence that markets do not do an effective job of promoting tolerance.58Niclas Berggren and Therese Nilsson, “Does Economic Freedom Foster Tolerance?” IFN Working Paper, no. 918 (2012): 177–207, accessed February 16, 2015, http://www.econstor.eu/handle/10419/81340. jQuery("#footnote_plugin_tooltip_4891_58").tooltip({ tip: "#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_4891_58", tipClass: "footnote_tooltip", effect: "fade", fadeOutSpeed: 100, predelay: 400, position: "top right", relative: true, offset: [10, 10] }); This suggests that curbing discrimination is the provenance of policy rather than market forces.59

      Reminds me of Sherri Spelic "inclusion must be engineered" it does not happen naturally

    1. t schooling as a system rations kinds of knowledge to class and ethnically-stratified student populations has been empirically confirmed by a number of studies

      This reminds me of that video that we saw in Wednesday's class. It's so important that we see each student as an important contributor and part of the classroom, otherwise we're in danger of falling into this trap of distinguishing who is helpful or worth effort, "ration(ing) kind of knowledge to class".

    1. are unpleasantly surprised when they take tests inwhich problems from the entire course are randomly presented so there areno clues about where they appeared in a text (

      This reminds me of AP classes. They provide you with information they deem important, but then when you go ahead and take the exam and you think you'll do good, you realize that half of these questions were never talked about. Another way to look at it, is that we are given certain facts to memorize, but actual tests can involve more thought than just the memorized facts.

    1. hide nothing from me; does he love me, or does he not?”

      it reminds me when we ask our friends for advice about guys and hoping they tell us what we want to hear.

    1. The hidden-curriculum concept is based on the recognition that students absorb lessons in school that may or may not be part of the formal course of study—for example, how they should interact with peers, teachers, and other adults; how they should perceive different races, groups, or classes of people; or what ideas and behaviors are considered acceptable or unacceptable.

      I think the standard of whats "acceptable" does not happen only in the classroom. There is always standards of whats acceptable in many different places in life. The only standard I believe in is to always have respect. This reminds me of the novel " The Catcher in the Rye" when the whole novel the main character tries to rebel against the standards that society believes are acceptable.

    1. the souls of plants are all living, for all souls are emitted from one beginning, though each of them has a life appropriate and suited to her

      this kind of reminds me of buddhist principles

    1. He moves in darkness as it seems to me, Not of woods only and the shade of trees. He will not go behind his father’s saying,

      This reminds me of the discussion we had in class on Tuesday about form and staying within the "village". It seems to me that the speaker is reflecting upon the idea that his neighbor is set in his traditional ways since "he will not go behind his father's saying". The speaker's neighbor is mimicking the lifestyle that was set before him. Perhaps not progressing further. Also, with the line "He moves in darkness as it seems to me" reminds me of Master's poem, "Petit, the Poet" with his line, "Blind to all of it all my life long" because in a way, the notion of moving "in darkness" is similar to being "blind". Both allude to the idea of not seeing beyond what they know or their confinements.

    2. Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

      The rhyming scheme here is perfect. Robert Frost does a great job of making poems fun for all ages and this reminds me of a poem I would hear when I was a child. Since then I have realized that poetry comes in all shapes, rhymes, and sizes but this brings me back to the days where all poems rhymed.

    1. Soar on the pinions of that dove Which long has cooed for thee, And breathed her notes from Afric’s grove, The sound of Liberty.

      The pact that a dove was chosen reminds me very much of religion, especially having long been "cooing" for someone and making the sound of liberty. This particular passage is so hopeful and very much presents the idea of not being alone.

    1. anti-homelike quality was inten- tional, because it was widely believed that a marked change of environment was good for patients

      This contradicts the argument of smaller asylums that support moral treatment of their patients, but also reminds me of how Kirkbride's asylums encouraged patients to stay out of the bedrooms during the day because the patients have a constant change of environment in both cases.

    2. I look at asylum buildings in the United States in order to demonstrate that psychiatrists considered the architecture of their hospitals, especially the planning, to be one of the most powerful tools for the treatment of the insane.

      Relating back to the material that we read last week, this reminds me of how the passages spent a great amount of time explaining the detail of the rooms of asylum. This mostly likely was an attempt to try to convey how ahead of their time/state for the art the asylums were.

    1. The article also states that students with parents who did not complete 4 years of college, or students who are the first-generation college students are also at greater risk of non-completion (O’Keffee).

      I can see how some students will drop out if their parents did not complete a full four years of college, but in my case both of my parents did not and I completely have a different view. My mom stopped going to college to attend business school and my dad left college for HVAC. My mom reminds me all of the time how she wishes she finished her college education and wishes she got her degree. Therefore, I wanna be the first in my family to complete college and have a bright future!

    1. The authors pointed out that video stories indeed improved communication between children

      I would really like to see this study. It reminds me of when the Baby Einstein videos were supposed to make infants smarter, and they were later sued for actually decreasing intelligence in those that watched them. (I personally feel there were other factors)

    1. He then took us to the top of the hill to a place called Lookout at night where we could see the sparkling lights of Kingston down below.

      Has very good imagery. This whole paragraph reminds me of the paper we had to write on taking a journey.

    1. If you can satisfy these four goals — regardless of what specific strategies or systems you use — you will ace your courses

      This is a really bold claim and it is really inspiring to read. He makes it seem like getting an A is way more simple than we have been taught. This reminds me a lot of my 8th grade year. My science teacher had a very strict plan on what we had to do in order to get a A and made it seem very easy but it wasn't. This is interesting because it seems so easy. I want to keep reading.

    1. Either nothing is true, or at least to us it is unclear

      This reminds me of Descartes a little. We don't know what is true and what is not for sure. When two people look at the same table, they may see different light patterns and who is to say who is actually right.

    2. but the state in which the soul continues calmly and stably,disturbed by no fear or superstition or any other emotion.

      This reminds me of more Eastern philosophies such as non-attachment and meditative practices where one simply observes their state without judgement.

    3. apart

      seems like an environmental observation influenced his theory. reminds me of a sedimentary rock in geology and how they are just meshed together until a stream or other object breaks them apart.

    1. hree days before the ceremony, the bones of the dead are laid out in a tent which has been erected; and their friends bring to their relatives such offerings as they please.

      This reminds me of what happened with Jesus when he died

    1. The initiatives offered by the plan promise to advance these priorities. These initiatives are ambitious. They reflect a collaborative spirit that will strengthen our community while we identify new ways to think and work together. The success of the plan rests upon the talented community of people who are SF State. The plan will serve as a living document that offers direction and inspiration to our future leadership without overly proscribing the outcome of our shared decision-making.

      This paragraph reassures that SF State plans on prioritizing these things. I think this serves as a way to remind people all of what SF State is trying to do. It also reminds people that those who are at SF State will make this happen successfully and that the power is in our hands. This really reminds me of just my past in writing because usually at the end of an essay we are told to write a conclusion where you basically must summarize everything you just said and add something that sticks into your readers mind.

    1. But they should not keep these prizes, I said; some, all, I would wrest from them. Just how I would do it I could never decide: by reading law, by healing the sick, by telling the wonderful tales that swam in my head,—some way.

      This reminds me of the quote "you must be twice as good as them to get half of what they have"

    1. This principle asserts that the correct time to learn something is when you first approach it, either in your readings or lectures. Waiting until the end to study results in a lot of wasted effort and poor grades.

      This is really what a lot of people need to hear. These sentences stood out to me because it is true that lots of students try to cram all the learning right before a test happens. I think it's important that Scott puts this into people's minds and so that they take the extra time to learn subjects soon after they are taught if there is still confusion. this reminds me a lot of my old classmates in high school and even of myself. The things we never got around to understanding are the things we focus on the night before an exam which also interrupts studying and reviewing other subjects of a course.

    1. Life is too strong for you– It takes life to love Life.

      Reminds me of this saying I've been told, "Why make life any more difficult than it has to be?"

      If we're constantly trying to battle our lives, it becomes "too strong" for us. Only when we begin to "love" our life, do we appreciate it and live it properly.

    2. That no one knows what is good Who knows not what is evil; And no one knows what is true Who knows not what is false.

      This reminds me of the meaning of yin and yang, because this is a perfect balance. This also reminds me of something I would read in the book of Proverbs. Really love these lines!

    1. All I need is that first bite, and I’m home again.

      food can sometimes connect memories or past times. This reminds of when I hear a song from a while ago and it makes me think of a certain time of my life, putting me back in that moment.

    1. O, yes,I say it plain,America never was America to me,And yet I swear this oath—America will be! Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,We, the people, must redeemThe land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.The mountains and the endless plain—All, all the stretch of these great green states—And make America again!

      this whole poem reminds me of the whole controversy of Donald Trumps slogan "make America great again."

    1. Notably, several of the catalysts identified by participants were not directly related to an awareness of OER or open textbooks. Several of these catalysts are related to innovation, learner empowerment, and increasing access to knowledge more generally. While these individuals identified as open education practitioners, they did not necessarily cite OER as their starting point for integrating openness in teaching and learning.

      This is an interesting conclusion as it has oft been stated that OER are a gateway to OEP. While that appears to be the case for 3 of the participants, for the rest it appears that OER was not the starting point to OEP. What bears deeper investigation is whether the second or third step to OEP was OER. Reminds me of a blog post I wrote a few years back wondering if OEP required OER http://clintlalonde.net/2017/02/04/does-open-pedagogy-require-oer/

    1. atextinwhichpeopleundertaketodescribethemselvesinwaysthatengagewithrepresentationsothershavemadeofthem

      Interesting, I don't think it has to be limited to text though. It reminds me of that metal disk that humans sent out into space in the 70's which have all kind of information on it about humanity just in case it was intercepted by an intelligent alien species.

    2. Despitethespelling,theassignmentreceivedtheusualstartoindicatethetaskhadbeenfulfilledinanacceptableway.

      This reminds me of how some individual like this one, thought about completing the given task instead of thinking critically and carefully about the assignment.

    1. commandments

      the word "commandments" reminds me of the ten biblical commandments.'' I am the LORD thy God. No other gods before me. No graven images or likenesses. Not take the LORD's name in vain. Remember the sabbath day. Honour thy father and thy mother. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery.''

    1. School-age children need 9 to 11 hours of sleep every night in order to be physically and mentally healthy.

      Meanwhile, adults need about 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. This reminds me of the discussion we had in class: Why sleep is important?

    1. Whatever the despot does, he does with knowledge; but the people have not even that; how can they have knowledge, who have neither learnt nor for themselves seen what is best, but ever rush headlong and drive blindly onward, like a river in spate?

      This description really reminds me of James Madisons reasoning for creating the electoral college. The "common folk" were uneducated, therefore they shouldn't have all the power.

    1. Helping to overcome some writers’ reluctance to physically write and rewrite, word processing has given writers the opportunity to efficiently make changes to their pieces

      This reminds me of a student that I had last year. Putting pen to paper was always a trigger for him and would constantly shut down and refuse to work. By providing him with the opportunity to produce his work in word processing, he saw the value in how much easier it was to produce and change writing.

    1. I might as well have been my non-English-speaking grandmother trying to read and understand them: The language felt that foreign. I called my mom at work and in tears told her that I had to come home, that I’d made a terrible mistake.

      This statement really engages me and makes we want to read the rest of the article. I'm curious to know how the writer overcomes this struggle, as well as how they were able to get into Cornell in the first place. This reminds me a bit of my mother, because English is not her first language, yet she managed to teach Japanese at Cornell. I'm curious to know if her experiences and the writer's experiences are similar.

    1. But this one wants two hundred dollars morefrom each of us to take us across the border . .

      This reminds me of coyotes (American-Mexican border)

    1. All things were together.” All things except Mind (Nous), which is pure andunmixed, and which knows and controls all things.

      This reminds me of the mind/body distinction. Except he is saying that the mind is separate from everything else, not just the body

    1. Again, and we may not have many more; The bird is on the wing

      With this line, it reminds me of Milton's sonnet, "How Soon Hath Time..." because it eludes to the idea that Mr. Flood may not have much time left, and the "bird is on the wing" perhaps also means that his time is flying away.

    1. But guide my steps to endless life and bliss.

      This reminds me of Psalm 23. "Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

    1. presents a young man (kouros, in Greek), who istaken in a chariot to meet a goddess

      This reminds me of the Bhagavad Gita. Especially the part about a young man meeting a god in a chariot. Not sure if there are any actual similarities yet.

    1. Through all the heav'ns what beauteous dies are spread! But the west glories in the deepest red:

      Twilight can usually be either before dawn or after sunset. This imagery just reminds me of how beautiful the skies are during this time. Great imagery!

    1. She wrapped herself in the first-gen mantle, bringing it up whenever she could and was admitted to several selective schools.

      This is interesting to me because I think it shows that first generation college students are not always disadvantaged. It also shows that this label has its own stereotype and many kids are able to use it to their advantage. Although I do feel like most kids who are first generation college students are not as privileged in college preparation. Either way, I think colleges should still look at other facts about students upbringings, such as their income and family life, and evaluate them from there. Another thing though, it was stated earlier that University of Wisconsin was giving free tuition to first gen transfer students, but what if some of the students were like this particular girl and actually didn't need the free tuition. This reminds me of one of my friends who gets free healthcare because she is Native-American but she only has a very small portion of the genetics.

    1. Stop, do not beat him, since it is the soul of a man, a friendof mine,which I recognized when I heard it crying

      Possible reference to some sort of belief in reincarnation? Reminds me of last class' reading, in which Pythagorus believed that the soul was immortal, and when it left a human body, it cycled through the bodies of all other living things.

    2. ll humans perish when the earth is carried down into the seaand becomes mud, and then there is another beginning of generation,and this change occurs in all the kosmoi [that is, in every such cycle].

      It kind of reminds me of different geological eras of the Earth. Like the Ice Age and all

    1. Once Luis has planned out his general idea for a movie, he gathered the materials he needed to produce his work

      This reminds me so much of my brother because he is interested in film and hopes to one day become a director. My brother knows so much about things like this and I on the other hand don't. It's important to see that ones interests also play a major role in what technologies they use and know more about.

    1. merciless enemies;

      Reminds me of the song "Savages" from Disney's Pocahontas. It showed how the colonists had a collective view of the Native Americans as barbaric savages, and it seems like a similar thing here.

    1. This is driving more far-flung countries like China to stake their claim in the new economic and strategic opportunities that melting ice is gradually uncovering.

      This reminds me of the Caspian Report where Shirvan mentioned that China has classified themselves as a "near arctic" country in attempts to lay claim to the Arctic opportunities.

      This topic of the Caspian Report was Trump's statement that he wanted to by Greenland. Shirvan stated that Greenland is of strategic importance and has a supply of rare earth metals which threaten China's monopoly.

    1. Dropout rates are high, saddling students with debt but no degree.

      This reminds me of a college counselor I had once. She explained to us that she did not finish getting a degree at the original college she had chosen due to the amount of debt she was in. Instead she had to finish getting her degree at a community college. Sadly she is in debt until this day.

    1. I think the concept of weak ties discussed on here is really relevant and interesting. I do think people have a lot of loose acquaintances now compared to just 10 years ago. Even I keep up with some not so close friends and acquaintances through social media, and seeing their posts really reminds me of their existence. This phenomenon is one I think will continue to grow as time goes on.
