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
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
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.
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.
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.
!
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.
what we see in a particular painting merely a section of an implied continuity, or is the painti
reminds me of that shell thing 3.14
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
'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.
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?
the hunter,
This reminds me of the little red riding hood and both hunters save the heroine in the stories.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
women may have a refuge and defense against the various assailants
This reminds me of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland (1915). I highly recommend!
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.
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.
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."
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
grade it.
this reminds me of the Social Exchange Theory and the costs and benefits analysis
to
This reminds me of when I learned about how it can be really uncomfortable for humans to not be able to categorize things.
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
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"
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.
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”
Reminds me of Thus Spoke Zarathustra of Nietzsche's
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.
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
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".
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
impossible
This word reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: " Impossible is a word weak people use to try and discourage the strong."
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
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.
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.
“School Lunches
every time i hear or read school lunch it reminds me of the nasty school lunches in all the school i ever attend to.
Just get it all down on paper, because there may be something great in those six crazy pages
this reminds me of something that a english teacher that i used to have would say. she would alway tell us that it does not matter what we would write about in our free writes because something go might come out of that without us even knowing it.
short assignments is the idea of shitty first drafts.
This reminds me of the times that I would have to write a short writing about something random.
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
(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.
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
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".
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Children have a right to be listened to
This reminds me of the readings we've discussed lately that refer to observation/documentation as a form of listening!
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.
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.
The Moral Treatment
This section reminds me of the shift in how patients were treated in the Retreat.
including architecture
This reminds me of how today's hospitals still paint their walls calming colors because they know it affect's the patient's mood.
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.
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!
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)
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.
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.
ut all things areatoms, which he calls forms
This reminds me of the idea of the forms in Plato's Republic
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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"
I had thereafter no desire to tear down that veil, to creep through
The continued imagery of the veil used through Du Bois' work stands out for me - it reminds me of a bride, wearing white. The whiteness of the veil's imagery emphasises issues of race in this passage. interesting also, the veil seems to have been placed on him by the 'other world' in order to 'shut him out' from 'their' world - they don't want him in 'their world' yet thrust a strikingly white object upon him.
Up the new path the advance guard toiled, slowly, heavily, doggedly; only those who have watched and guided the faltering feet, the misty minds, the dull understandings, of the dark pupils of these schools know how faithfully, how piteously, this people strove to learn.
The structure of this sentence reminds me of how someone would give a speech or a preacher at a church because he's extending the cause to his audience, urging them to listen to what the real issue is and is getting ready to explain the solutions to solve the problem.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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."
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/
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.
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.
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.''
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?
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.
Falling
Reminds me of a song "Fallen Soilders" Demarco
"exploding like a mushroom"
Great simile. Reminds me of the image from Hiroshima.
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.
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.
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)
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
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.
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."
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Lower-income students who attend elite colleges fare even better on average than low-income students elsewhere
I think it's important to note that there is no evidence listed for this. This sentence really stood to to me because it is a claim that might not be factual but is making readers believe that only going to an elite college will make you more successful. This reminds me of high school because many counselors and educators often told students that the school you attend does not matter as much as what you make out of the school you attend. I do not think the author realized the confusion it would cause adding this line.
On these more typical campuses, students often work while they’re going to college. Some are military veterans, others learned English as a second language and others are in their mid-20s or 30s.
This stands out to me because it is listing different groups of specific people to show how they are excelling. I believe they added this to show that these are groups people might not think of often in college but are groups that are excelling. This was interesting to me because I am a first generation student so I am usually placed into a group of people as well. It also reminds me of high school and grouping different type of people who get college education.
Because the elite colleges aren’t fulfilling that responsibility, working-class colleges have become vastly larger engines of social mobility.
This is an interesting claim to me because if it is in fact true, then why would people ever promote going to more elite schools over working-class ones. I feel like an idea is instilled in many kids minds that it is better to try to go to a more elite school because they will probably fare better after college, but if working-class colleges can do help you the same or even better, should going to a more reputable school even matter? Also, is it worth spending more money on college in this case too. it reminds me of how my mom would try to steer me away from going to city college in high school because she thought that going to a university would be better for me. But would she have thought differently if she saw this claim?
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.
pg.34 “Who is to say that robbing a people of its language is less violent tan war?” This reminds me of a video that I saw on social media that some old women were telling a Spanish speaking person to speak in English because they are in America so they have to speak in English. The person got made and told the ladies that if it is his native language he will speak it.
I had written, or tried to write, my first stories while sitting before this ominously humming machine.

This reminds me of a few experiences.
history of rape of Black women by white men
This reminds me of Dorothy Robert's book Killing The Black Body. I think it is incredibly interesting and painful to look at the ways in which Black women's reproduction and bodies have been used as a tool of control and repression. I hope that in this course we will explore this further.
havebeenimaginedandmade.34Smithgoesonto
This reminds me of Ruha Benjamin's analysis in Race After Technology.
when the teller tells the tale, that teller is not bound to follow chronological order; events can be presented in any order the teller finds most effective.
This makes me think of the many shows that use the use of flashbacks or breakaways. While maybe not the "best" example, this reminds me of Family Guy. The show uses many breakaway gags and completely "irrelevant" things in order to tell that week's story. Seth McFarlane does not need to say "a happened so b happened then c happened" in order to get a point across. He can say "a happened (cut away to b happening) and so c happened". The order in which we have things told to us can play just as important of a role as the story itself.
others, like The Wonder Thars, make oral narration an inte-gral, ongoing facet of the text. Narrative theory helps us break down such voice-over narrators into two types: those who are situated outside of the story they relate, and those who also double as characters within that · h t t· 29 story.
This reminds me of the TV show "Jane the Virgin" that just ended. It had a narrator (outside of the story) that was an integral part in the show. It recently just ended, and the last episode revealed who the narrator was - which actually ended up being a character in the show. I thought this was a really cool way to end the show and tie it all together.
But this feeling soon gave place to irritation
This sort of reminds me of relationships that become abusive.
three ships
this reminds me of when Christopher Columbus came into the new world with his top three ships to take over the land. he took everything from the Caribbeans to take back to the queen and king.
Chronicle
This text reminds me a lot about the Biblical chapter "Chronicles" in the way it is formatted. The definition of chronicle based off Oxford Dictionary is "a factual written account of important or historical events in the order of their occurrence."
The natural and the supernaturalcoincide. Since Hesiod feels no compunction about asserting his claimswithout reasons to support them, he seems to think that the proper re-sponse to the story is acceptance.
This reminds me of Descartes' way of providing evidence for his arguments. He repeatedly seemed to use his own claims that he had previously made as evidence for his later claims. He simply assumed that since he had stated a claim before that it was evidence for his other claims. Which was one of the biggest issues I had with his text.
By definition, if I participate in a racist society-no matter what my race-then I am in-volved in white privilege and the oppression of people of color.
the idea that even those who are the racially oppressed have to participate in a racist society, such as our own, just by living their everyday lives within the society reminds me just how unavoidable it is to perpetuate racism, even if "you aren't racist" (systemic approach vs individualistic)
he Pythagoreans apparently rejected the Ionian methods ofinquiry, and turned from searching out the basic stuff of the universe to astudy of the form that makes it a kosmos.
This reminds me of Anixamander's assertion of the universal form, or Aperion, but taking it one step further by relating it to mathematical theories.
In matters of life and death, who gives a second thought to blood and kin?
I took an English/POSC class about the effects of genocide and mass violence on human psyches and the literature that comes from survivors of trauma, and this line reminds me of the unimaginable devastation that people in Hiroshima felt after the Atomic Bomb. This loss of connection between kin was common as people tried to rebuild and put their lives back together; especially with the issue radiation poisoning. These types of poetry of witness are important accounts of the human reaction to mass trauma.
Anthropologists also compare humans with other animals (most often, other primates like monkeys and chimpanzees) to see what we have in common with them and what makes us unique.
That's interesting to see that Anthropologists go about their studies this way. Sort of reminds me of the theory of evolution.
Despite efforts in words and wars to put national unity at the center of political imagination, imperial politics, imperial practices, and imperial cultures have shaped the world we live in.
This reminds me of the question we were asked during one of our FSEM Colgate Conversations -- Is conforming necessary to become a group? Although I felt strongly that to become a cohesive and powerful group there must be many similarities, many other of my classmates felt the opposite (which would be the view of the leaders of an Empire)
There will be time to murder and create, And time for all the works and days of hands
Reminds me of that song, "Turn! Turn! Turn!" by the Byrds/Bob Dylan. I believe the lyrics of the song were taken from the Bible-- I wonder if there's any kind of biblical connection for the line in the poem.
In war, nobody is in control, though everyone likes to pretend they are. This, I gradually realized, is Tolstoy’s main “point,” such as there is a main one, in War and Peace: That huge forces — politics, ego, money, vanity — sweep up and drag nations and people along to conflict, and the powers that be are merely carried along for the ride
The authors realization of the sublime in war reminds me of my art history classes last year and this painting. The people in war from War and Peace must feel the same way as the sailors do in the Gericault painting.
Will our flighty brains ever get as much out of phone screens as paper? Are the great works of literature doomed to fade away like ghosts?
As I read this paper, it reminds me of how my parents felt when I decided to tale the majority of my classes online. They did not think I would get as much out of the classes, if I was not sitting in a lecture hall. However, I feel that I am even more motivated to learn because I am doing so at my own pace. I disagree that electronics deter from intensive learning.
our eyes move very rapidly
that reminds me of REM
engaged is a request. In the first case you can say "yes," but in the second you cannot just say "yes" and leave it at that. You actually have to pass me the salt. How can "can" mean such different things in these two utterances? How do we know it means these different things? Can we imagine settings in which
Reminds me of when I used to ask my teachers in school, "Mr. Can I use the bathroom?" which is a question and request but they'd reply with "You caaaannnn....." I would then have to exchange the word "can" for "may".
When Max Gluckman succeeded Godfrey Wilson as the Institute's second director, the basic categories for apprehending that transformation were al-tered from "primitive" and "civilized" to "tribal" and "industrial
This line from Asad's text reminds me of the idea of "mental mapping of reality" introduced in Guest's second chapter. "Mental mapping of reality" is a tool used by humans to categorize the world into sections that we may use to better understand a topic; anthropologists use mental mapping to assist them in answering the general questions they have when conducting their studies. Asad contends that functional anthropologists were examining "the "modern" change in colonial Africa as they were reconstructing "traditional" cultures" (Asad 318). Perhaps the basic categories were changed from "primitive life and civilization" to "tribal and industrial" because these new categories helped anthropologists create a more accurate mental map of reality that helped them better understand that which they sought to answer.
The "learning styles" idea has snowballed—as late as 2014, more than 90 percent of teachers in various countries believed it. The concept is intuitively appealing, promising to reveal secret brain processes with just a few questions.
The author believes "learning styles" is all an idea because it has introduced educators to a "new" way of reaching students. They do not believe it is actually helpful and is something the author explicitly states throughout the rest of the article as well. I believe they do a well job of elaborating their ideas and why they think like this but they are doing so very aggressively which might offend some readers. This reminds me of a time in high school where we focused on making sure our ideas were not being expressed to aggressively based on feelings but rather on facts.
King James
im not going to lie, this just reminds me of LeBron James. His nickname is also, "King James". I personally, think he is the 4th greatest basketball player of all-time behind 1. Michael Jordan 2. Wilt Chamberlain 3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
The secret of education still hid itself somewhere behind ignorance, and one fumbled over it as feebly as ever.
This reminds me of "Areopagitica," and how Milton argues that moral and intellectual growth begins through ignorance. Knowledge is gained through education which can be a Force/ Strength. "We have become hitherto the latest and the backwards scholars of whom God offered to have made us the Teachers."
It is also important for the teachers to enjoy beingwith the other teachers, to enjoy seeing the childrenstretch their capacities and use their intelligences, toenjoy interactions with the children.
This reminds me of a Rinaldi quote from the Bambini reading; "You have to sustain a teacher for her to become the teacher that his school needs". Children are so perceptive and are skilled at reading teachers emotions and relationships with one another...if we aren't engaged, happy, and in-sync with our co-teachers than we cannot provide an optimal learning environment
It’s important for the teacher who works with youngchildren to understand that she knows little aboutchildren.
Can't help myself, but this reminds me of a quote from Harry Potter (from Dumbledore): "Youth can not know how age thinks and feels, but old men are guilty if they forget what it is to be young." Except the idea is that you cannot understand without watching and learning, because you are not young anymore.
which nature has given us
So much to be said about the ways humans have not stuck to "what nature has given them" and the arguments for/ against going with or against "nature." Reminds me of Dark Ecology, Morton, etc (from Crit Theory). Also reminds of the resurgence of the narrative of the perils of "going against" "our nature" or Nature in general. Reminds me of essentialism and constructivist discourse.
He is also wearing those awful shoes
This reminds me of my dad he never seems to stop wearing old shoes that are partly ripped.
For the boys and girls who grew in spite of these things to be man and woman, to laugh and dance and sing
This line reminds me that no matter what the circumstances are you are always in control of your decisions and you can make the most of it because in the end you are always learning from either good or bad experiences that are shaping you into the person you choose to be.

ociety could control its citizens,
This reminds me of when the Nazis got into book burning. If people weren't able to read, the ones that could would be able to manipulate a lot of factors. Being able to read is able to seek out the truth from multiple places and not just have to rely on what we hear from others. Along with this, being able to write is holding the capability to reach out and spread information with the world. It's a lot of power.
Facebook users “flocked” to join the group Everybody Write “THIS IS SPARTA!”—in fact over 30,000 students. A
This honestly reminds me of the storm area 51 event thing. This really is a great example of how trends do repeat themselves in certain ways. Big internet memes can really impact students and get them talking.
Internet resources for remaining up-to-date on technologies.
I definitely believe we need to be teaching students to understand and navigate the internet, but that reminds me of this book I read for another class called "Feed" where school for them was basically learning how to use the internet software in their brains. This reminded me of that.
This is my father with his eyes half-closed.
Reading this reminds me of the family photos we have in a huge plastic box. Photos of memories taken from when I was little from birthday parties or trips we have gone. Half of them being random photos just like this one, where half of their eyes are close.
autumn
The word autumn reminds me of the season fall.
Educators may actually be doing a disservice to auditory learners by continually accommodating their auditory learning style,” they wrote, “rather than focusing on strengthening their visual word skills.”
This fact coincides with the sentence earlier in the piece that mentioned that students will often blame their teacher for their lack of success in learning something. I find it interesting that students feel that it is entirely the teacher's responsibility to accommodate them in their specific learning needs, when in reality, everyone should be taught on the same level or playing field, and this way everyone is strengthening their learning skills in all areas. This reminds me of teachers whose teaching styles I have loved, whereas classmates who aren't finding success in that class bashed the teacher and attributed their poor performance in the class to the teaching style being implemented. This is most likely because people who are frustrated or overwhelmed often look for something or someone to place the blame on, but the issue at hand is that some people cannot adapt to different teaching styles, which should be the main focus as opposed to having the teacher adapt to every student's learning style.
they’ve already been told ‘You’re a visual learner.’” Or aural, or what have you.
This is very interesting to me, and it seems like the issue at hand is that many teachers will try to categorize or label students, who will in turn take this information being handed to them by a teacher, who is an authority figure that they presumably trust. This could create many issues when the students identify as whatever category they've been placed into and they are more closed off to trying different styles of learning. I had never realized the adverse effects of trying to label a student's learning style, but this is got me thinking, and now reminds of the different groups students were separated into in my middle school based on their learning style. I am realizing why these groups were not particularly helpful, and the groups didn't increase students' potential or the class grade average.
Out of the gray hills Of industrial barns, out of rain, out of bus ride, West Virginia to Kiss My Ass, out of buried aunties, Mothers hardening like pounded stumps, out of stumps, Out of the bones’ need to sharpen and the muscles’ to stretch, They Lion grow.
Reminds me of somebody who stayed in their hometown, a place with family history and blue collar work.
They Lion, from my children inherit, From the oak turned to a wall, they Lion, From they sack and they belly opened And all that was hidden burning on the oil-stained earth They feed they Lion and he comes.
These last lines remind me of a sacrificial offering to a God, or even nature itself. This also reminds me of how some of us inherit good things, yet abuse or do not appreciate it. It seems as if they are taking The Lion away from its home and keeping it secluded, so when the right time comes they may "feed they Lion."
And all that was hidden burning on the oil-stained earth They feed they Lion and he comes.
The language in this reminds me of Yeats' "The Second Coming"; I think there's definitely thematic similarities between the two
What’s required is a continual focus on creating a classroom that is about thinking rather than justabsorbing information.
this reminds me of a math vs lit class. one typically cant ask deep questions in a math class because there are straight foward solutions but in a lit class one can ask deep questions/find various answers.
What’s required is a continual focus on creating a classroom that is about thinking rather than justabsorbing information.
This reminds me of the book "The Pedagogy of the oppressed" written by Paulo Freire, where he talk about how some teachers use the banking method to teach their students, the banking methods consist of putting information in students brain without letting them use their critical thinking skills
except in the immediate instincts and activities of the child himself.
I feel like this is especially true now because kids have access to more info now with the internet than before. It reminds me that I heard the general IQ level has been increasing over time because kids are getting smarter overall (but I don't know if that's really true).
Students are expected to dowhatever they’re told, to accommodate themselves to a curriculum that was created by adults whonever met them. By contrast, the best sort of education — which is not only more respectful ofchildren but far more effective — takes its cue from the interests of those who are being educated.The center of gravity is in the kids; their purposes and interests are our point of departure.
This reminds me of the Course Syllabus.

This reminds me of Christina Rosetti's poem, Goblin Market. The vivid depictions of fruit are delectable and divine.

This reminds me of the scriptural analogy of the potter and the clay.
Overall new media do not come out of nowhere, but rather evolve from existing practices and media technologies
reminds me of the idea that "everything is a remix" - any art/creation that is viewed as "new" is just a remix of an old idea or built off existing platforms, just as the author claims that "new" media are different forms of old media (such as analog media that has been digitized)
Persistence: Having the skills and confidence to stick to a goal even in the face of challenges and setbacks. For many students, this is a strength already! Your role is to reinforce and encourage, and help students navigate setbacks that may have shaken their confidence, as well as help anticipate any future barriers and plan for how they can be avoided or overcome
This reminds me a lot of the quote from training last week: "the greatest growth doesn't come from the easiest struggle" Students have to persist to grow
ndso,yousee,thestatementsmadeatthattimewere,asitlookstome,deficientinprecision.Iftheyweresatisfactorytoyou,onlyyoucantell."
This quote reminds me of the saying that how we see or interpret things is in the eye of the beholder. It also reminds me of class on Friday when we talked about relativism and how truth is different for different people.
"Haven'tyounoticedthatallopinionswithoutknowledgeareugly?Thebestofthemareblind.
This line from Socrates is very interesting because of the truthfulness that lies within it. Socrates is addressing the fact that we can't hold opinions if we don't understand why we have them and what they mean. This reminds me of the "think before you speak" phrase because if you don't actually know what you are talking about you are going to sound unintelligent, or in Socrates words, you will sound "ugly." This is especially true of opinions because when people argue that their opinion is right but have absolutely no evidence to support their opinion it is hard to take their opinion seriously. I find Socrates' words to be very relevant to our own lives because people are constantly sharing their opinions on abortion, the crisis at the border, and gun control, but are lacking reason behind their beliefs. There are people who have very strong opinions on how to handle each one of these situations, but when you question their opinions (whether you are with them or against) they don’t have anything to support their beliefs which makes it too easy to discredit or ignore what they have to say. Therefore if we can be more knowledgeable about out opinions more people would listen and take the time to understand.
After the people had all emerged into the Fourth, or White World, they saw the water continuing to rise in the Third World beneath them. Big Water Creature pushed her head through the opening in the reed. Her curly hair floated on the water, and lightning flashed from her black horn and her yellow horn. First Man asked Big Water Creature why she had come. She said nothing. But the Coyote named First Angry cam
The concept of entering better and better realities to reach a "perfected" destination reminds me of the hozho philosophy. Through entering into better and better realities, the flaws of the last can (hopefully) be cleansed.
three days,
I notice that there is a lot of use of "three days" and I'm wondering what significance it holds. It also reminds me of the Crucifixion. Jesus was buried for 3 days before he came back. I'm reading quite a bit from these texts that remind me of Bible stories.
First Angry brought witchcraft into the world
As I mentioned in the first reading, this reminds me of the serpent in the garden from the Bible.
different three lower worlds. All these things were spiritually created in the time before the Earth existed and the physical aspect of humans did not exist yet, but the spiritual did.
Reminds me of the Bible when God created the Heavens and the earth. Also, I'm not sure if this is correct or not but (so far) I think the 3 worlds could be Heaven, earth, hell, and maybe purgatory (the last 3 being "lower worlds". Just a thought
He told First Man and First Woman that he had been hatched from an egg, and knew all that was under the water and all that was in the skies. First Man believed him. Then a second coyote, Áłtsé Hashké, First Angry, appeared. He said to the three, “You believe that you were the first persons. You are mistaken. I was living when you were formed.” First Angry brought witchcraft into the world.
This entire passage reminds me closely of the bible's story - could be mistaken on which book it is - of Adam and Eve. Of course, it's not clearly alike, but has the same underlined trope built out of jealousy and hate.
“Living in Health, Harmony, and Beauty: The Diné (Navajo) Hózhó Wellness Philosophy,” hózhó is not just an important word in culture; it’s an entire “complex wellness philosophy” that includes the basic principles of living.
This message stuck out to me as it shows that Hozho is defined by these three words of health, harmony, and beauty. This reminds me of how hozho adds these elements to peoples lives and created the "complex wellness philosophy."
for example, the night sky begins to take shape through the careful choices of First Man and First Woman, but this process is disrupted by the wily Coyote, who snaps a blanket that randomly scatters stars across the sky
This reminds me of the story of Adam and Eve. The two were made and chosen to lead good lives but a serpent (snake) came along. As we all know, snakes are considered to be tricksters and liars. With that said, the snake tricked Adam and Eve into eating fruit from the forbidden tree.
The way in which we experience and interpret the world obviously depends very much indeed on the kind of ideas that fill our minds.
p. 399 paragraph 4 line 1
I like that this emphasizes the issue of education both enlightening, as well as being something that may for some, be detrimental. The intellectual quest of finding reason and purpose in the world is something all humans share, even if we dont realize it, and if what we already know about the world isn't fully completed in our minds, we will take big ideas that someone may conjure and percieve them as the truth.
This reminds me of the flat-earth society. The reason that people have begun to go along with this belief is because they do not know exactly what kind of world they are living in. With the unfilled knowledge of our world, these people will begin to question what we've been told and begin to find 'evidence' of what could be a completely different model than the one we learned in 3rd grade. And because these people look for only the facts supporting the flat-earth model and little against it, they will be locked into a confirmation bias that skews their judgement and fills the hole of information they do not understand.

In fact, the proportion of black students has dropped from nearly 12 percent to a little more than 8 percent, where it was 40 years ago.

Last, we were after something that was happening at x=1x=1x = 1 and we couldn’t actually plug x=1x=1x = 1 into our formula for the slope. Despite this limitation we were able to determine some information about what was happening at x=1x=1x = 1 simply by looking at what was happening around x=1x=1x = 1. This is more important than you might at first realize and we will be discussing this point in detail in later sections.
This reminds me of the exercise we had this morning in class.
Web development is the Red Queen of the Red Queen’s Race: no matter how hard we work, there we are still in the same place. We know this and, as a group, have largely accepted this. But it’s also the Wire Mommy. It is an unloving, harsh parent that buys our loyalty. It is the joyless experience that we think we deserve.
Accepting the rules of the Red Queen's Race. We are in a constant state of not only staying up-to-date but trying to look ahead at what is around the bend.
Reminds me of what Frank Chimero gets at in his essay "Everything Easy is Hard Again" (source).
Mooney
The last name Mooney reminds me of The Boarding House
marriage
I’m really surprised indeed. Mrs. Mooney herself has suffered from her marriage. Why is she still maintaining the view women is to be honored by marriage? I initially thought that Mrs. Mooney kinda breaks down the social conventions and are able to live a confident life as a single mother. Apparently she is still clutching to social norms in here. Again reminds me of Eveline. They both once made me feel that they are different, that they have this conscious and courage, but eventually they fall back.
Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition.
This sentence reminds me of Mansfield's short story "Her first Ball", in which the main female protagonist also becomes incapable of "recognizing" her older male dance partner after she extracts herself from his unsolicited digression on old age. Perhaps computational text analysis could help us chart scenes of "un-recognition" taking place after important character awakening moments in 20th-c literature.
Divergent responses to annotation demonstrate what Foucault means by power running through the whole social body.
How would this have worked in pre-literate societies? Examples?
"the whole social body" also reminds me of the idea of the "Great Chain of Being" to consider how differences in annotation may change and evolve in societies over long periods of time. I can't help but consider Richard Dawkins' original conceptualization of the "meme" and how they move through societies with or without literacy skills.

While the authors discussed each of these "types" above, I was looking for a more clear discussion of how they conceptualize each of these concepts. Academic articles can be long and it's easy to lose track of thoughts you had early on, so figure out a system of marking or recording questions that works for you. I like to highlight in a unique color that reminds me to revisit an idea after I've read the entire article. For example, perhaps they do a better job describing these "types" later in the paper.
I like to serve the people. If they appreciate it, fine. If they don’t appreciate it, fine. If they give me thanks, OK. If they don’t give me thanks, there is one that thanks me for what I’m doing here. That is God.
This idea to serve the people regardless if they appreciate it or not reminds me of the values held in Under The Feet Od Jesus.
I’m a registered voter and I pay taxes. So why are you slicing the pie over there and we’re not getting any of the pie? We need a piece of the American pie too... we’re here. We’re here.
This reminds me of Under The Feet Of Jesus because it has an underlying feeling that they're benefiting others while not receiving anything in return. And people don't really seem to care.
They didn't know what to answer this ten-year-old kid. They didn't know. And I turned and I looked at him, and I was so impressed with him because, you know, he gets it. He just gets it.
This excerpt in particular really reminds me of Estrella. In my discussion post I mentioned how Estrella and her siblings are far more aware of their struggle than adults realize sometimes, and this goes to show that kids aren't always naive to situations. Children are smarter than adults give them credit for sometimes.
How on earth are you going to drink water when they tell us that you risk getting cancer after years of drinking it? Who will want to drink it?
This reminds me of something we've been discussing, which is the relationship between the powerful and the powerless. These people keep digging holes in a last-ditch effort to find clean water, rather than stopping use of the pesticide. To them, the outcome does not matter because it's not their health and livelihood at stake. This is a good example of those in power making minimal efforts to help the powerless.
“You’re an ideal family, sir, an ideal famil
In the so-called "ideal family", Mr. Neave is very alienated from his wife and children，can't feel the warmth of the family .And even though he pays a lot for the family, but he does not get a return. How ironic and pitiful this is! This always reminds me that the material conditions of abundance are often not equal to happiness .
biblical context
This reminds me a bit of an interesting "annotated" version of the bible which presents the synoptic gospels of the New Testament in parallel which allows one to see where the four stories overlap, diverge, or are completely different.
Throckmorton's version is a good example of this sort of presentation: https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-Parallels-Comparison-Synoptic-Standard/dp/0840774842
but she had just time to read: “Waltz 3. ‘Two, Two in a Canoe.’ Polka 4. ‘Making the Feathers Fly,’” when Meg cried, “Ready, Leila?” and they pressed their way through the crush in the passage towards the big double doors of the drill hall.
I see Katherine Mansfield is good at illustrating the atmosphere of preparing an events with the busyness and excitement that characters throw among their conversation and by mentioning musical pieces, the band, and party dresses. In this situation or atmosphere, the main female character is dealing with psychological turbulence or nervousness. This scene of the story reminds me of the Garden Party, in a sense that a group of people based on family members are busy preparing for the event.
Usually the red squirrel (Sciurus Hudsonius) waked me in the dawn, coursing over the roof and up and down the sides of the house, as if sent out of the woods for this purpose
This reminds me of the opossum that lived in the bush outside my dad's window for a month. My dad is a light sleeper and sleeps with the window open in the summer. The opossum liked to scream in the middle of the night when the dogs bothered the neighbor's dogs. My dad got tired of constantly waking up exhausted so he trapped the opossum and set it free a few fields away in hopes the opossum got the hint. It never came back so I guess the opossum got the hint.
ts. There, far from the village street, and except at very long intervals, from the jingle of sleigh-bells, I slid and skated,as in a vast moose-yard well trodden, overhung by oak woods and solemn pines bent down with snow or bristling with icicles.
This sentence popped out at me. It reminds me a lot of the movie The Polar Express. I have always loved snowy landscapes and become mesmerized with various descriptions of the magical scenery.
nd millet grass, making the earth say beans instead of grass,—this was my daily work. As I had little aid from horses or cattle, or hired men or boys, or improved implements of husbandry, I was much slower, and became much more intimate with my beans than
By Thoreau doing all the work by hand and by himself he got to take pride in the aftermath of all his hard work. It reminds me of the story of "The Little Red Hen". Where in the end the Hen takes pride in her work and shares with everyone despite no one else helping.

He enjoys doing the work himself. He seems proud of the work he does. He is connected to his work, unlike nowadays, we have tractors and machines working with crops. It reminds me of local farmers, who take pride in their gardens.
window tax. Signs were hung out on all sides to allure him; some to catch him by the appetite, as the tavern and victualling cellar; some by the fancy, as the dry goods store and the jeweller’s;and others by the hair or the feet or the skirts, as the barber, the shoemaker, or
Advertising as its finest. This reminds me of when I went to Japan and how everyone was trying to get you to sample things and buy them..

This reminds me of when I tried hiking at night without shoes on and you really start to feel the ground beneath you.
The emperor holds a stick in his hands, both ends parallel to the horizon, while the candidates, advancing one by one, sometimes leap over the stick, sometimes creep under it, backwards and forwards several times, according as the stick is advanced or depressed. Sometimes the emperor holds one end of the stick, and his first minister the other: sometimes the minister has it entirely to himself. Whoever performs his part with most agility, and holds out the longest in leaping and creeping, is rewarded with the blue-colored silk; the yellow is given to the next, and the green to the third, which they all wear girt twice about the middle; and you see few great persons round about this court who are not adorned with one of these girdles.
This reminds me of the limbo married to a hurdle competition.
They bury their dead with their heads directly downwards, because they hold an opinion, that in eleven thousand moons they are all to rise again, in which period the earth (which they conceive to be flat) will turn upside down, and by this means they shall, at the resurrection, be found ready, standing on their feet.
this seems strange to us, but with the beliefs this community has is smart or it makes sense. This whole book thus far just reminds me not to be judgmental of other people and cultures because to them I seem just as strange.
and being a most ingenious people, they slung up with great dexterity,
As a particularly tiny person, 4'9'', (Im no Liliputian) but this line really resonates with me and makes me chuckle because it reminds me of all of the creative things petite people have to do to function in an oversized world. When I go to the grocery store i wear my youngest baby, put my 5 year old in the basket and make my 6 year old walk, when it comes time to leave I get get my daughter out by turning around, standing on my tippie toes while she climbs on my back (with my baby still strapped to my chest) this is made extra silly by how big my kids look with me. I chuckle to myself at how it must look but don't really mind. I am also an expert climber due to that never-ending need in my life.
