    1. Down countless avenues the senses feel impending change: the clues that guide our burdened hearts, heavy with pain,

      This reminds me of Eliot's poem on when each section changes. I think of images of avenues changing on a street in one pattern and a heart that's in pain. A broken heart or memory.

    1.   April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers

      this section reminds me of the idea of April showers bringing may flowers. April being gloomy rainy weather and the earth slowly coming back to life.

    1. X-ray

      This reminds me of the censor that Elbow mentions as present during the writing process. Elbow suggests that writers shoo away the censor so that all ideas--every idea--finds the page.

      When we invite the censor back, we are asking h/er to go in with surgeon-like judgment and precision and remove the extraneous.

    1. In additon, you don’t actually change types in Dark. Instead, you make a copy of the type, and make your changes on that new copy. This allows you to prototype with the new type and test your change easily, making cheap iterations (and new types) as you try out new ideas. Once you are confident in your new type, you replace the uses of the old type (with semi-automated tooling).

      oooh this is super interesting! Reminds me of http://unisonweb.org/posts/

    1. The two sets of laws are nevertheless very differentfrom one another·. The laws ofnatureare laws according towhich everythingdoeshappen; the laws of morality are lawsaccording to which everythingought tohappen; they allowfor conditions under which what ought to happen doesn’t

      This is very interesting and again puts into perspective the idea of what is versus what ought to be. It is an enlightening concept to me that what happens naturally and is our natural inclination to a situation can sometimes be against what we're ought to do. This kind of goes against the things I would hear growing up as people would always say "listen to your gut/instincts/heart". All of those things get at the same idea that we know how to act intrinsically. This also reminds me of Utilitarianism, even though the two philosophies are very different from one another and Utilitarianism has to do with nature and how it governs pleasure and pain (and how we act versus how we ought to act in regards to pleasure and pain).

    1. n this Little Thing I saw three properties. The first is that God made it, the second is that God loveth it, the third, that God keepeth it.

      This reminds me of a little kid keeping rocks or marbles in his/her pockets. To the child, that's his/her most important thing in the world.

    1. Canterbury Tales: The Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale

      This introduction on how women should be treated as equally as men are treated. Bringing up the idea of equality, it reminds me of the piece "Salve deus rex Judaeorum", which was the very first known piece to try to encourage women's power. Since this piece follows, maybe the author of this story got inspiration from "Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum."

    1. !

      This text seems like a typical Netflix series from now-a days/ But it also reminds me of the knights tale, in terms saying that it is two men fighting over one women. It is a little different, but the same context. And it is interesting that the carpenter fell for the world is flooding non-sense. It is as if the astrologer is thought as god in the scene. My question is what happened after the story. Did the carpenter get put into jail? Since he was laughed at, was he thought as a crazy man?

    2. “For, s’help me God, it is not ‘come kiss me.’ I love another, or to blame I’d be, Better than you, by Jesus, Absalom!

      Reminds me of Lanval. The insult isn't I have someone else, it's someone else is better.

    1. Pause.

      This kind of interesting since we are being suggested to “pause” our reading and take a break from it all. The poem seems to be a really fast-paced one that it seems to require a pause. This also reminds me that the poem can perfectly end here, but we are only asked to pause and keep going.

    1. Fat was this lord, he stood in goodly case. His bulging eyes he rolled about, and hot They gleamed and red, like fire beneath a pot; His boots were soft; his horse of great estate.

      Imagery. I love how the author goes into specific detail about each of these characters. It reminds me of some of the characters from robin hood.

    1. And what is love but a rose that fades?

      Kind of cliché. Reminds me of that thing that a girl protagonist will do in movies sometimes where they pick at petals of a flower saying "loves me" "loves me not" alternating until the last petal which gives them the answer. Sort of a hopeless romantic thing.

    1. Ever since the development of pocket watches, timepieces have always had a role in communicating social identity and status. After wristwatches became popular, how-ever, this role became even more pronounced. Many people regard watches as sym-bols of wealth, status, taste or personality. It makes a big difference to us whether or not someone is wearing a Rolex or a Casio. In fact, with the ubiquity of time on computer screens, mobile phones and other devices, the timekeeping function of wristwatches is becoming less important than their function as markers of social identity and status.

      This totally reminds me of wealthy people in older movies. I can always recall then having a pocket watch and swinging it around, kind of funny.

      I completely agree with the type of watch you have making a big difference. Having a Rolex seems like such a sign of "making it" in life and financially. Before getting my AppleWatch last fall, I was not a watch wearer at all, ever. I got it for the fitness aspect of it but find myself constantly checking the time now.

    1. unless you have a leman, a lover, that you like better,

      This again reminds me of Lanval. In that case Lanval is accused of having no attraction to women, here Gawain is accused of having another lover that he must like better than the queen.

    2. to a young thing, to yearn to show and teach some tokens of true love’s craft What! Are you ignorant

      She lists all of his characteristics as a knight that he has and she praises him. Yet then she insults him because he won't admit anything about love. It reminds me of the green knight-who got his battle by offending the king.

    1. embroidered and bound with the best gems on broad silken border,

      This reminds me of the other story we read on Sir Orfeo where their outfits were also described as being embroidered and bejeweled. It seems that this may have been very elegant back in the day.

    2. ever was Arthur highest, as I have heard tell. And so of earnest adventure I aim to show,

      Britain seems to currently be the most powerful nation/region in the world. King Arthur reminds me of Beowulf, where he seems to be the most powerful born king.

    1. First, that software developers should not be afraid to mix, match, and layer protocols. There is no rule that says you can't do this, yet I've noticed people picking one protocol and sticking to it out of some kind of loyalty. When really, as a developer, your loyalty should be to your values of an open, decentralized internet, whatever those are.

      Reminds me of Alan Kay mentioning how we tend to think tactically rather than strategically. Smaller picture rather than bigger picture. Values will lead to the proper tools, however singular or multiple.

    1. Be Awesome

      This reminds me of Robby Novak AKA Kid President. He used to say this all the time. I use his you tubes in my public speaking class all the time.

    1. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers and techno-utopians that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. The movement’s affiliates are developing their own social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while jettisoning what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane.

      Reminds me of what Wendell Berry advocated for in his essay "Think Little":

      "But the discipline of thought is not generalization; it is detail, and it is personal behavior. While the government is 'studying' and funding and organizing its Big Thought, nothing is being done. But the citizen who is willing to Think Little, and, accepting the discipline of that, to go ahead on his own, is already solving the problem.

      A man who is trying to live as a neighbor to his neighbors will have a lively and practical understanding of the work of peace and brotherhood, and let there be no mistake about it. he is doing that work."

    1. Walled gardens like the App Store are user-friendly and developer-hostile.

      There is the rub. While they isolate developers they bring people in through sleek design and frictionless experience.

      It reminds me of IndieWeb's idea of learning from what the walled gardens do right. User-friendliness is one of things. The question becomes how we incorporate this so that software platforms are both user-friendly and developer-friendly.

    1.  Yes, faith; it is my cousin’s duty to make curtsy and say ‘Father, as it please you.’ But yet for allthat, cousin, let him be a handsome fellow, or else make another curtsy and say ‘Father, as it please me.’

      In this scene Beatrice is seen talking about Hero’s role as a dutiful daughter and out of love reminds Hero that she should and can be more selfish. Beatrice displays her sisterly love for her cousin by supporting her independence as who she is rather than a man’s daughter or someone’s wife. Their relationship displayed in this specific quote is most like a modern mother and daughter relationship; in today’s standard most mothers would push their daughters to be more independent. Beatrice's supporting figure is also seen when her loyalty is tested as Hero is accused of wantonness, and Beatrice is the only one who doesn't believe in the accusations. Beatrice’s continuous love and support for her cousin may be linked to their gender. Beatrice can relate to Hero because she understands what it is like to be a woman at that time and it is seen throughout the play that beatrice is not satisfied with the role of women in the Elizabethan society, who were seen as subservient to men. This quote is significant since it reveals the intimacy between the cousins as well as distinguishing the difference between the cousin’s thoughts on the role of a Elizabethan woman.

    1. I’m of the opinion that web software is a trend-driven media industry and not engineering. It’s akin to fashion or cinema: an industry that wouldn’t exist without advanced technology and industrialisation and cannot function with a shit-ton of engineering but as an experience it is fundamentally defined by creative choices.

      Reminds me of Alan Kay's remark that programming (you could lump web software into it) is a pop culture rather than an actual culture because, like Bjarnason states, it is a trend-driven media rather than being based on those who came before (a la biology and physics).

    1. Beowulf parts I and II had an energy that was aggressive and triumphant despite themes of isolation, but part III there seemed to be a melancholy tone that set the stage for Beowulf's final battle. After all of the years of fighting and death Beowulf reminds me a bit of Grendel in heorot hall in Part I. Grendel was unable to sit on the throne (which is symbolic of his inability to ever rule over an empty room) just as Beowulf is the king but has no heirs and has found isolation in the void that accompanies so many deaths. Beowulf is further abandoned in his final battle by all but the loyal Wiglaf who stands alone with him as he faces the final dragon. I find it interesting that the final battle ends in mutual destruction between Beowulf and the dragon. There is a lot of violence and action, but I am struck by the pervading sadness and loneliness throughout the story.

    1. As strange as it might seem, people’s knowledge and understanding may actually dwindle as gadgets grant them easier access to online data stores.

      This reminds me of the circle and how dangerous this efficient company had become by the end of the novel. People came dependent on the circle, even the government leading to a society that does not have to think for themselves. Sounds extremely efficient but kind of scary as well. It becomes unclear what individual motives are when everyone is expected to just do as they are told.

    1. Viewed from an Indigenous perspective, the ideas expressed in posthumanism do not constitute a ‘new paradigm’, and there is nothing especially new about the vibrant ‘new materialism’ presently gaining traction in the philosophical academy

      Such a succinct statement that captures various critiques of new materialism from Indigenous perspectives. Reminds me of Kim TallBear's now often-cited point. She writes, "First of all, indigenous peoples have never forgotten that nonhumans are agential beings engaged in social relations that profoundly shape human lives."

    1. %DVLFDOO\ZKDW\RX¶UHORRNLQJIRULVVWXIIWKDWPDNHVQRVHQVH0D\EHWKHUHZDVDQHUURUDWGDWDHQWU\DQGVRPHRQHDGGHGDQH[WUD]HURRUPLVVHGRQH0D\EHWKHUHZHUHFRQQHFWLYLW\LVVXHVGXULQJDGDWDVFUDSHDQGVRPHELWVJRWPXFNHGXSLQUDQGRPVSRWV:KDWHYHULWLV\RXQHHGWRYHULI\ZLWKWKHVRXUFHLIDQ\WKLQJORRNVIXQN\

      This reminds me of Organic Chemistry labs. When data points don't make sense, something must have gone wrong in the experiment. It was vital to ensure that the source was found to determine if it would effect the results or if the experiment needed to be redone.

    1. Anxiety over the potential mindlessness of note-taking took on particular urgency during the digital annotation session, at which panelists debated whether the Internet and social media had ushered in a golden age of notes or doomed us to watch all our fleeting thoughts — if not our brains themselves — sucked down a giant digital drain, beyond the reach of future historians.

      Just a mass of dots we are collecting rather than connecting them and making meaning out of them. Social media feeds can especially feel this way. We keep scrolling and yet does more meaning come? Any advancement of an ongoing narrative?

      Interesting point of none of our notes being in reach of future historians. Who knows what technological limitations could get in the way? Reminds me of Isaacson's point about DaVinci's notebooks standing the test of time. Will we say the same of Brain Pickings or Kottke.org? Can they be conserved by places like the Library of Congress or the Internet Archive?

    2. In a talk on note-taking in Shakespeare’s time, Tiffany Stern, a professor of early modern drama at Oxford University, described the way people carried “table books,” with specially treated erasable pages, to sermons and plays, not just to take notes but to advertise themselves as note-takers — much as an iPad might today. (“They said you are highly literate, and wish to write all the time,” she said.)

      Reminds me of Oliver Sacks taking notebooks with him to concerts.

      I find it interesting that it served as a sign of high culture, like people carrying around phones as a sign of industry or productivity. Interesting parallel with tablets.

    1. His “evidence” is anecdotal at best and, at worst, a dangerously racist viewpoint that characterizes most gaming tribes, and deÌnitely the most successful, as greedy, law-bending criminals

      This reminds me of the talk that Trump had about Indian Gaming that we watched in class on Thursday.

    1. In the United States, the average cost of installing those countertops runs from $2,000 to $8,000, but the price charged by Indian exporters for polished red granite is just $5 to $15 per square meter—that comes to about $100 for all the granite your kitchen needs

      It reminds me of how within my lifetime the cost of Quinoa has risen from dirt cheap in Peru to nearly costing a leg when comparing prices from then and now. Cha-ching!

    1. Deepmachinelearning,whichisusingalgorithmstoreplicatehumanthinking,ispredicatedonspecificvaluesfromspecifickindsofpeople—namely,themostpowerfulinstitutionsinsocietyandthosewhocontrolthem.

      This reminds me of this Reddit page

      The page takes pictures and texts from other Reddit pages and uses it to create computer generated posts and comments. It is interesting to see the intelligence and quality of understanding grow as it gathers more and more information.

    1. We can paraphrase Thurston as saying that mathematicians often don't think about mathematical objects using the conventional representations found in books. Rather, they rely heavily on what we might call hidden representations, such as the mental imagery Thurston describes, of groups breaking into formations of circular groups. Such hidden representations help them reason more easily than the conventional representations, and occasionally provide them with what may seem to others like magical levels of insight

      Hidden representations reminds me of a passage in Gleick's bio of Feynman:

      "Feynman said to Dyson, and Dyson agreed, that Einstein's great work had spring from physical intuition and that when Einstein stopped creating it was because 'he stopped thinking in concrete physical images and became a manipulator of equations.'

      "Intuition was not just visual but also auditory and kinesthetic. Those who watched Feynman in moments of intense concentration came away with a strong, even disturbing sense of the physicality of the process, as though his brain did not stop with the gray matter but extended through every muscle in his body."

    1. Therehas alsobeena growinginterestinmeasurablefactors whichallowkeyaspectsofprogressto be expressednumericallyand displayedbymeansofgraphs

      This reminds me of a marketing class that I took at Georgia Tech last semester. We measured the success of specific ads based on increased visibility and ultimately revenue for the company. However, we never focused on the negative effects that certain ads and repeated messages could have on society as a whole. Could certain messages broadcasted by tech. companies create an underlying, subliminal message that negatively affects society?

    1. Books that accurately and positively depict children from low-income or rural families are few in number. While there are increasing numbers of authentic and respectful books about children of color, they do not yet cover all of America’s many ethnic groups and cultures.

      This reminds me of one of the things that teaching tolerance teachers do: make content relevant to the demographic in their class. Although this is important, it is also important to not to do this all the time when planning a unit. When appropriate and possible, this can help students to see themselves in what they are learning to make it more meaningful.

    1. Hyperlinks would not have solved the other weakness of Phillips’s notebook: its inability to track, at a fine-grained level, changes to a page or to his thinking over time. Digital notebooks, however, could overcome this challenge as well. The solution here is version control, a technology familiar to the open-source software world and embedded (behind the scenes) in many of the tools historians already use. Microsoft Word’s “track changes” feature is essentially a version of version control, a way of seeing precisely how a text has been modified at a particular moment of time. Wikipedia’s “history” pages provide a more powerful version of the same feature. And as Konrad Lawson has shown in a recent Profhacker series on Github, programs like Git provide the most powerful version control systems of all, allowing their users exceedingly fine-grained views of when and how files were changed.

      I found this entire paragraph interesting because it takes into account the method of checking, in this case "version control". Version control reminds me of micromanagement; the devil's in the detail. I think that is where the problem lies, because historian have so much data to synthesize, the ability to trace back sources for that information can be so difficult. By simplifying interfaces to help others help you (similar to how Microsoft word has done), this task of micromanaging your sources no longer exists allowing historians do what they do best which is tell our history.

    1. These parents are worried that their kids are influenced by the gender-identity exploration they’re seeing online and perhaps at school or in other social settings, rather than experiencing gender dysphoria.

      This reminds me about what we learned in class, about sex and the city. Sometimes the government and setting affect the way people portray themselves and their sexuality. The fluid is different and sometimes may or may not be as welcoming. So this can relate to the article since they feel their social setting is the cause of gender dysphoria. Some laws in different states also prohibit same sex marriage ultimately, causing them to think more heterosexually.

    2. But progressive-minded parents can sometimes be a problem for their kids as well. Several of the clinicians I spoke with, including Nate Sharon, Laura Edwards-Leeper, and Scott Leibowitz, recounted new patients’ arriving at their clinics, their parents having already developed detailed plans for them to transition. “I’ve actually had patients with parents pressuring me to recommend their kids start hormones,” Sharon said.In these cases, the child might be capably navigating a liminal period of gender exploration; it’s the parents who are having trouble not knowing whether their kid is a boy or a girl. As Sharon put it: “Everything’s going great, but Mom’s like, ‘My transgender kid is going to commit suicide as soon as he starts puberty, and we need to start the hormones now.’ And I’m like, ‘Actually, your kid’s just fine right now. And we want to leave it open to him, for him to decide that.’ Don’t put that in stone for this kid, you know?”

      This reminds me of David Reimer who was a part of the study that became known as the John/Joan case in the 60's and 70's.

      After a botched circumcision, David was resigned as a female and later reasserted himself as a male later in life. He eventually ended up committing suicide at 38. Much like David's parents, these parents are also imposing a gender identity onto their children.

      You tend to see this sort of thing happen with parents who subconsciously want a child of the opposing sex. Like if a parent wanted a boy they teach their girl how to box and play baseball. Because in their mind, boys like to fight and play sports.

      To enroll your children in activities not normally associated with a specific gender is fine and should be encouraged. Keep in mind that in doing so you are influencing their future taste, preferences, and behavior. That girl may one day grow up to be an aggressive/assertive person based on the nature of their upbringing. She is acting that way because of how she was raised, not because she was assigned the wrong gender at birth.

    3. because they weren’t really trans, or hadn’t been living as a trans person long enough, or were too mentally ill

      This line reminds me of how medical institutions in America have worked with the state in order to identify sexual tendencies as sexualities in order to control and monitor them. Labeling those who would sleep with older gentleman, same sex partners, or who would touch themselves as mentally ill or perverse.

    1. “Do you know what you’re having?” “A lawyer,” I often answered. Or, “a doctor.” Occasionally, I’d say, “a rock guitarist.”

      I appreciate this response on so many levels. I feel like this type of humor reminds me of Maggie Nelsons narration of the Argonauts. She apologetically avoids homonormativity, (or maintain her queerness,) in a similar way that this author wishes to avoid the reveal of her unborn child's gender. I feel that us as humans often fall into social norms such as finding out the babies sex, as a way to please others, and avoid confrontation, which is why its probably easier to learn the sex as a means of preparation. But if we were to analyze that further- why do we want to know the sex? So that the baby shower registry will enlist blue or pink clothes, toys, accessories and more? Or so that we may day dream about having a Samuel or a Samantha? But at the same time, is that structure necessary for our children to develop an early concept of who their identity is? In this article; http://www.soc.ucsb.edu/sexinfo/article/raising-your-children-gender-neutrally the author expresses in more depth, the ideology behind allowing your child to pick his/her own gender. Her opening paragraph reads; "In recent times, it has become much more common and socially acceptable for parents to raise their children in gender neutral ways. As queer rights, feminist movements, and gender equality take on a greater social relevance, many caregivers no longer expect their children to behave stereo typically “masculine” or “feminine;”" Personally, I don't know where I necessarily stand on the topic of allowing a child to decide their own gender, however I think people should be aloud to be whoever they are from day one, regardless of the body parts you are born with. By not revealing the baby's sex, there is an opportunity to allow your child to come into the world without a predisposed concept of who they will be. And probably alot less pressure about fitting into that category as they grow older. (Another interesting article I found but didn't have time to read in its entirety is William Wants a Doll.Can He Have One? Linked here; https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0891243204272968 in case anyone wants to read even more so in depth on this topic.)

    1. According to some scholars and pundits, I probably shouldn’t have done this.

      This opening sentence shows the author's determination to experience e-book reading, although many experts and scholars do not recommend it. This attitude reminds me of a truth that seeks truth through practice. Only when I have experienced it, I have more experience.

    1. For your children learn from watching their elders, and if you want your children to do what is right, then it is up to you to set the example.

      This speech really reminds me of MLK's "I have Dream Speech" The audience for both speech are White Americans. Reputations were used through out the speech, and the arguments relate to future generation were also occurs in the speech.

    2. They are hostile, and eager to exercise the sanctions of the United States to subjugate the Indian people.

      Crazy that the marshals and FBI men were basically allowed to do whatever they wanted with the Native people without punishment. Kind of reminds me of what still happens with police and minority people even today...

    1. When we teach youth that pleasure in sex is only for certain bodies, we’re creating a culture of sexual entitlement: that some bodies exist solely for the use of others; that some people are entitled to use other people’s bodies however they desire; that they have the right to enforce power and control over those bodies. This directly reinforces rape culture.

      This part reminds me that, a large number of rape actually done by known and close one. especially, in many culture man dominate's women in their sexual life. Women don't even realize that they are the victim.

    1. When I am lost in my thoughts or feeling frustrated about all of my work, seeing those buildings recenters me and reminds me of why I am here. The concrete image of these buildings offer inspiration by representing my hopes for the future.

      This part of my essay is essential because it establishes that I know where I want to end up after college. I included this to emphasize that despite knowing this, I don't really know the means of getting there. The view is a concrete image of where I want to end up, and keeps me motivated, but I need to figure out what I am passionate about first.

    1. we discovered that four students work better than six for a semester-long project

      I'm a bit hesitant about the universal language here. I think I'm wanting to know how some of the course's structural limitation are inputs into this outcome.

      Also, maybe humans aren't very good at this kind of collaboration yet, so maybe this is a local (temporally speaking) truth rather than a global one? It reminds me of some of the Sudbury critique about most educational research being conducted in the artificial environment of school (when it's not in the even more artificial environment of a controlled experiment).

    1. It is so easy to surrender as prisoner to one’s schedule, to go from moment to moment and place to place without actively living in the times in between. So often do stairs come across as merely a means of transportation or a middle ground that is worthless except to help one get to his or her next destination.They are cursed and dreaded and avoided for elevators. But to me, the stairs are a place for personal revival: a place that reminds me of the people I love back home, while also encouraging me to cherish all that I have here. They allow me to look out past BC in the very same moment that they take me to BC. They are not an obstacle I need to overcome on my way somewhere; they are their own distinct, sacred place.

      Compared to my first conclusion, this conclusion is definitely better in that it provokes new thought and explains a little more into why I treasure the upper stairs so much. My first draft introduced too many new topics, such as how their physical structure complements their purpose. I tried to incorporate these ideas earlier on instead of in the conclusion in this final version of the paper. However, upon further reflection, I wish I had concluded this essay in a better way. Annotating my own piece allowed me to be more critical and observant of my work in terms of how I presented my ideas. Through annotating this piece, I tried to read it objectively, keeping in mind that other readers didn't have the prior knowledge that I obviously did while writing it. This piece, I feel, was incomplete in its evaluation and analysis of the stairs and why they are so important to me. The conclusion would have been a good place for me to wrap up my thoughts more effectively, but I seemed to make statements that were instead too broad.

    2. When I look out, however, I don’t think of the brownstone shops on Newbury Street or the roaring fans throwing popcorn in TD Garden. For a brief moment, as my eyes linger on the city and my feet continue to descend, my mind wanders home to Manhattan. The stripes on the tallest building resembles those on 432 Park Ave, one of Manhattan’s iconic skyscrapers, and the Boston building grows taller and thinner as it morphs into that very structure in my mind. From there, my imagination swoops down to the New York City sidewalk, as I predict what my mom and brother JohnJohn are doing in this very moment: probably fighting the wind as they climb the unforgiving hill on 135th Street to his high school. Catie is fiddling with her pen in her English class; Cormac has just gotten off the school bus with his spelling test flashcards in hand. I see my dad sitting at his desk in Philadelphia, typing away as he listens to Miles Davis’ “Someday my Prince Will Come.” An airplane that had just taken off from Logan reminds me that I soon will be returning to them, uniting with a warm and prolonged embrace. The buildings disappear as I approach the next group of steps. I can’t help but smile as I look down and flip to the next page of my study guide.

      From the moment I decided I was going to write about the Upper Stairs for my Meditation on Place, I knew I was going to discuss the view of Boston I see every morning from the top of the stairs. In my first draft, however, I was not satisfied with what I made of the view; it didn't serve much of a purpose in the first draft. After many mornings walking down the Upper Stairs and looking out onto the buildings, I realized that the reason I appreciated the view so much was because it make me think of my home in New York City and each of my individual family members. As a writer this year, especially while revising this piece, I have learned that the most effective way to write is to allow myself to include the personal aspects to my argument and to my writing. In the first draft, I seemed to be a bit too nervous to discuss my family and how I thought about them. However, in the revision, I mention each individual member of my immediate family and how I think about what they are doing each morning--because I do think about them, every day. By including this personal component, I at once am able to convey what makes me as a person unique and what makes the stairs unique. My relationship with my family is extraordinarily strong, which is why the stairs are so special to me; they give me the space and time to think about my family as I start my day. Had I not included this small part in my introduction, my whole meditation on the stairs would be incomplete, because above all, the time the stairs give me to talk to and think about my family is the biggest reason they are so important and sacred to me.

    3. I salivate in anticipation of the cinnamon coffee muffin I am about to devour. The walk down the stairs to breakfast reinforces the immediacy of home here. Although I may not have my family to greet me each morning, I delight in sharing my breakfast with other fellow 9-am-takers. Just as the particularly tired mornings at home go by without one word being spoken, so, too do my mornings here consist of an unvoiced coexistence. Though I do not personally know most of the individuals I see every morning, it is their presence and constancy that makes the transition from the top of the stairs to the bottom not only bearable, but something I eagerly await. I leave the thoughts of my family for a short while, only to be graced by my new family.

      I then go on to discuss how I appreciate the "unvoiced coexistence" of my mornings here at school. In my first draft, I again only briefly mention the other people's silence in the morning as we are all on our way to class. But, after reflecting on what sharing these mornings with these people means to me, I realized that sharing a morning with the same people here reminds me a lot of sharing my mornings over breakfast with my family at home. So, I decided to make this connection in this paragraph after telling the reader about the cinnamon muffin I have every morning. I think this passage is very important to my piece as a whole because it gives another reason as to why the stairs are a place worth writing about. I am making the point that one does not have to be constantly talking to people are actively engaging in exciting activities to feel as though he or she is part of a community. By explaining that although I do not "personally know" most of the people I see each morning, but still enjoy and appreciate their presence as I am walking down the stairs, I give the reader more insight into why the stairs are so notable to me. At the end of the passage, I discuss how as I transition from the top of the stairs to the bottom, I "leave the thoughts of my family for a short while, only to be graced by my new family." This statement again was something that was in the back of my mind while writing my first draft, but never explicitly put forth. I included it to show the reader that the stairs act as a physical symbol and place that allows me to fully immerse myself into life here at BC.

    1. without necessarily visiting the site where you publish.

      This reminds me of a decision I made as a Peace Corps Volunteer--rather than blogging, I wrote regular emails, under the assumption that people would be more likely to read them if they showed up in an inbox than if they had to visit a blog.

    1. Inoch is really creepy, especially since he is a little boy. It is so twisted how much he seems to enjoy controlling, and annilhating, his clay men. I wonder if he is doing this because he didn't have that kind of control before he came to the children's home, and he is making up for it now. It also may be something he learned from someone he knew in his past life…or has heard of. He kind of reminds me of the way Hitler controlled his people, but on a much smaller scale.

    1. PROPOSITION 1. In contrast to the traditional,unidirectional research model typically employedin the laboratory, an ecological experiment mustallow for reciprocal processes; that is, not only theeffect of A on B, but also the effect of B on A.This is the requirement of reciprocit

      I realize that Bronfenbrenner is referring to reciprocity within research studies; however, this particular section reminds me of the importance of reciprocity within our classrooms, as well. I would agree with Bronfenbrenner's statement that although the concept of reciprocity is highly applauded, it is also one that is commonly (and most often unintentionally) missed. By modeling and fostering reciprocity within our own classrooms and community, children are not only invited to engage on a deeper level, but also community and family connections are strengthened.

    1. The world has arrived at an age of cheap complex devices of great reliability; and something is bound to come of it.

      This reminds me of the Creative Media Lab at MIT, as many of their inventions came prior to many recognizable computer functions, like GPS and a proto-type to Google Earth, but they did not patent nor have enough capital to sell the product. They just made it.

  5. Apr 2019
    1. At present, too many schools focus on cramming information. In the past this made sense, because information was scarce, and even the slow trickle of existing information was repeatedly blocked by censorship.

      I have found that this is one of schools' falling points, this reminds me of the article that focuses on growth mindset vs fixed mindset

    1. post-humanism completely moves away from the idea of the human body as "ideal" and embraces other forms of embodiment

      This sounds more like transhumanism to me... In class, we spent quite a bit of time discussing the role of embodiment for posthumanism - it reminds us of our eco-relations and of the human as dependent upon the planet as habitat.

    1. Actually the lndians did not need the approval of the Commissioner, but when their decision affected treaty annuities or educational services, the Com-missioner had to be infonned so that the bureau could make changes.

      It mentioned once their decision affected the educational service they have to get approval from the bureau. This shows even the Congress approved the native to self regulate themselves, but they still want Native kids to receive the same white education to insure them to not to go back their old life. This reminds me of the other U.S colonization countries, after the country claimed independent, they still adopt the U.S education system. Is this strategy can be seen as another form of colonization.

    1. less clear-sighted and infallible

      Diana's being unable to make mistakes is a trait that reminds me of other Austen characters such as Emma from "Emma." While they both mean well they carry themselves with an sense of being "all knowing" and never wrong.

    1. Or is this simply an example of knowledge being carried through in packages wrapped up neatly in the reproductive cells of the affected animals?

      This reminds me of a great science fiction book I just finished - The Children of Time - in which a species of evolved spiders develops on a planet created by a human scientist. The spiders pass knowledge down from one generation to the next in exactly these kinds of 'neatly wrapped packages'.

    1. The type of knowledge and communication being employed in religion can be likened to a multiversity in Posthumanism-- the knowledge is supposed to be shared freely and symbiotically, and the attempt to break down the exclusive walls between an institution and the people it is trying to each is paramount to the knowledge's validity.

      I love your comparison to a multiversity that moves beyond the institution. It also reminds me of Rousseau's idea that patterns can be best learnt by observing nature.

    1. Although the size of the step a human being can take in comprehension, innovation, or execution is small in comparison to the over-all size of the step needed to solve a complex problem, human beings nevertheless do solve complex problems. It is the augmentation means that serve to break down a large problem in such a way that the human being can walk through it with his little steps, and it is the structure or organization of these little steps or actions that we discuss as process hierarchies.

      This reminds me so much of my favorite Doug story, which I wrote about here after he passed away. Doug loved bicycles, and so many of his great metaphors involved them, including this one:

      As a kid, he and his brother used to challenge neighborhood kids to see who could perform the most difficult tricks. Doug had a trick that always worked. He would challenge the other kids to ride their bikes with their arms crossed.

      What was so hard about this? Riding straight with your arms crossed was easy. The only tough part was turning. If you wanted to turn right, you’d have to move your left arm. If you wanted to turn left, you’d have to move your right arm. In other words, you simply had to do the opposite of what you normally had to do.

      Two rules easily grasped, yet none of the kids could ever do it without falling off their bikes. Why? Because learning, in order to be applied, needs to be embodied. We need to build that habit and, sometimes, that means changing old habits.

      This is hard, but it’s not impossible. That was the other key lesson of this story. Doug could do the trick, not because he was smarter or more physically gifted than the other kids, but because he had trained his body to do it through lots and lots of practice.

    1. Of course, it’s okay for them to fly – Emma Thompson jetted first-class from LA to London to lecture us plebs about all our eco-destructive holidaymaking.

      This reminds me of the numerous shots of Al Gore at an airport or on an airplane in the 2006 environmentalist film An Inconvenient Truth.

    1. it also includes the unconscious ways in which particular approaches to art marking (Le. styles) resonate with ecological concerns2

      This reminds me of Pollocks unconscious showing through in his art.

    2. We are proposing an ecological use for art, or at least for that art which most transparently depicts the environment: landscape art.

      This reminds me of the theory of child development that they will grow up as their environment influences it. There are many theorists who argue this to be untrue and true, and i think we can argue both sides for art as well.

    1. Satan, whom now transcendent glory rais’d

      This reminds me of the story Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, when no one would volunteer and then King Arthur gets up and volunteers.

    2. And dig’d out ribs of Gold. Let none admire [ 690 ] That riches grow in Hell;

      This reminds me of the story where the man/King wanted everything he touched to turn to gold, then he turned his daughter into gold I think. I see a correlation there.

    1. ontinued to be widespread through the late 1800s. White settlers were permitted to claim public lands on the Great Plains as “open range” to raise purchased cattle

      This reminds me of what is currently happening in other parts of the world. Claiming land that actually belonged to others.

    1. .

      Holy hot mess of a story and I LOVED IT, a bit long winded like at the questions part but I overalled loverd this world she mad reminds me of sci fi a lot. I had so many star wars and star trek vibes. The world is so vivid and colorful its like the utopia of some sorts but yet she just comes in and becomes queen. Her self-insert sorta feels overpowered with a great deal of plot armor.But hey I was mostly in this for the mythos and world building she provided in this story. Solid Story

    1. This, my dear, you must not enter, nor even put the key into the lock, for all the world. If you do not obey me in this one thing, you must expect the most dreadful punishments.”

    1. Some accountants, therefore, impressed the tokens on the surface of the envelope before enclosing them inside, so that the shape and number of counters held inside could be verified at all times (Fig. 1). These markings were the first signs of writing.

      Reminds me of our knowledge of twill weaving on the silk road via impression on the surface of pottery. (h/t Michael Frachett's Long Now Foundation talk, "Open Source Civilization and the Unexpected Origins of the Silk Road."

    1. Topics will change each week. Students will find themselves examining religious metaphors, behaviours and ethics, and drawing links between them and the Habs.

      This reminds me of my religion class I took through Ashland.

    1. When we don’t engage students in what matters to them—autonomy, connection, competence—the components that actually create motivation—when we don’t involve students in the process of teaching and learning, then the problem is ours, not theirs.

      I'm a bit lost here (obviously not with the abstract SDT level). Those three words are conceptual labels for describing things students care about--rather than the things themselves. Kids might care about being able to have spaces outside adult supervision, for example (autonomy supportive from a functional significant perspective). Labeling it in this way is useful because it helps us conceptualize the thing, and I want to be cautious about saying those are the things that matter directly (not that I'm terribly committed to this line of thought). I think meeting these needs implicitly might be more effective than highlighting them explicitly, say, through instruction by "Teach[ing] them about cognition, and neuroplasticity, and resilience, and self-determination theory." It reminds me of Carol Dweck's caution on how her work has been mischaracterized and misused.

    1. teacher Kara’s food justice unit through the lens of a pedagogy of spatial justice. We

      I am so curious about Kara's own background in Food Justice work, and her curation of the curriculum materials and resources. It reminds me so much of the work of the youth activists that worked with the Agaston Urban Nutrition Initiative in Philadelphia. I remember attending a workshop led by the youth, and seeing them make so many connections between politics, economy, history, society, biology - and they then translated these understandings into actions in their community. One difference was that they ran their own school garden, and sold the vegetables at a local farmers market in their neighborhood, as a means of disrupting the "food desert." I'm not sure if they are still doing the activist kind of work they did years before, but I know the program is still around - here is a link: http://www.nettercenter.upenn.edu/what-we-do/programs/university-assisted-community-schools/agatston-urban-nutrition-initiative

    2. It is situated in a community encompassing multiple neighborhoods where there has been little construction or infrastructure updates since the 1930s beyond a large public housing project constructed in the 1950s. At that time, the population shifted from 6 percent to 86 percent African American. It is now 99 percent African American, and over half the population lives at or below poverty level.

      This specific explanation reminds me how important it is for us to unpack the word "urban" when we talk about urban schools. Understanding the power of Kara's teaching moves requires us to understand how those moves are responsive and community-specific.

    1. she was not aware of the historical significance her words carried, nor did she transfer contextual knowledge to the students in my class.

      Ouch. This is so strange, adapting to other culture's practices without knowledge of cultural significance. Reminds me of tourism.

    1. The more acculturated Cherokees did not always have much money, but in their eyes their lighter skin and greater formal education put them in a higher cultural class. Because they were strongly pious, they believed that God favored them.

      This reminds me of the process for the U.S citizenship qualification. The U.S government will prioritize the lighter skin or Mix blood, because they believe that the white blood makes the light skin Native more likely to be civilized. This racial superiority from the white communities also gives the mix blood Native racial superiority in their tribe.

    2. cultural superiority

      This term just really stuck out to me, reminds me of the Caste system, where everyone is part of the same culture/ethnicity but there exists a hierarchy that is determined solely by color of skin.

    1. And no users reported the post to Facebook’s content moderators during the live stream, an important signal for the company to catch and take down harmful content before it spreads virally across the site

      No one reported the video because they must have thought it was fake. This reminds me of the facebook live video of a man in the U.S who claimed he was going on a killing spree and killed an innocent elderly man on the street. Most of the comments where shocked that it happened because they did not think something like that could happen. Sometimes it happens so fast you are unable to report it until it is too late.

    2. accept

      This reminds me of the debate that i happening in the US about sensationalizing gun violence and the way that the news often reports on school shootings. In most cases, they report on a sensationalized background of the shooter's life and history which is the proven wrong thing to do, as is inspires further shootings. Why do we let this happen?

    1. Time evolution of the simulated (a) MSLP and (b) radius of the azimuthal-mean hurricane-force surface wind

      reminds me the gradient wind balance relationship in our 3-D toy tornado model assignment. In real cases, wind speed is not quite directly proportional to pressure.

    1. Let your faire Virtues in my Glasse be seene. And she that is the patterne of all Beautie,

      This reminds me of Snow White. Mirror Mirror on the wall. She wants to see the Queen's beauty and grace in her own reflection.

    1. I learned from my Latin American colleagues that they are essentially forced to cite North American or Western European researchers in all their work in order to get published,

      This reminds me of a global feminism conversation from one of my other courses. It was said that many Latin American and Asian feminists must write in English or relate their work to a Western feminist to be taken seriously.

    2. paid lip service to plurality and global contexts—indeed, to the heart of commoning—while functioning very much like a typical colonial endeavor.

      This reminds me a lot of the 'diversity' requisite I see now...whether that be marketing a college campus as XX% diverse or companies advocating for diversity and inclusion, I feel as though it is a way to make people think that they value diversity when at times it may just be a response to the changing makeup of todays diverse demographic. Not quite sure if individuals and institutions are being truly sincere in their efforts or whether they're doing it to be accepted

    1. I have long held the opinion that far too much student work disappears into a sort of curricular black box;

      this reminds me of the conversation I had with Kyle about certain sites taking students intellectual property and repacking it as plagiarism detection software

    1. the final third is spent on administrative costs, overhead, and quality control.

      Makes sense. Reminds me how back in the '60s and '70s of how the BBC junked some of their television programs after deeming the costs of proper achieving was expensive

    1. [Exeunt.]

      I really liked this one, now I want to see it performed, I think if the characters are just more chill it could work, just tone the abuse down a notch. I thought it was really funny and Katharina and Petruchio definitely are made for one another. The relationship between Katharina and Petruchio reminds me of the relationship between Christian Grey and Anastasia from Fifty Shades of Grey. They’re both abusive and try to control each other although Anastasia is portrayed as much more submissive than Katharina. At the end though I feel like both Katharina and Petruchio are just messed up characters, to me I don’t see Katharina as being feisty or independent, rather I see her as just being aggressive all the time for no reason. I don’t know I guess I just prefer to surround myself with people who are just laid back. I think that being feisty or sassy can be cute at times if you are just being playful but if you make attitude as part of your personality you just come off to me as immature or unreasonably thin-skinned. Of course, I am looking at this story with a 21st-century bias, and it makes me feel grateful we don't have to deal with awkward social roles anymore, we can all just be cool with one another. When it comes to Petruchio, I don't know what I can say about him, he's just an abusive guy. Overall, this was a cool albeit weird reading since we are reading a script but I still enjoyed it.

    2. Bid them come near.

      This play reminds me of the day we talked about word selection and how some words make you change your perception of a story being told. This allows me to visualize the Lord with a fancy wave asking the servant to ask them to come close.

    1. "No, that infant was one, I, now grown up, am another."

      This reminds me of the eightfold path as you grow up you gain the ability to right though, right speech, right action....

    1. This reminds me of the consequences of the No Child Left Behind Act which essentially converted bilingual education into English education. The following sentences give the reader an idea of what this can cause amongst students of different cultural backgrounds.

    1. Pac-Man is more of a driving game than a maze game. As you’re playing, you’re jamming that joystick left  and right, up and down, movements that shifts your right shoulder forward and back, rocking your body side to side. When the going gets tough, and the ghosts start closing in, all of this rocking motion compels you to lean into the game and, whether you realize you’re doing it or not, you’re going to grab onto the game.

      This reminds me of how popular gaming chairs that are built to look like racing chairs is. It's like you have to strapped in to play a game.

    1. ditch the cars, give bikes, transport goods. children can wait as the parks will be preserved for them anyway. reminds me of our now argument to "see things before they die"

    1. but I will hurt him, I will hurt him bad

      This reminds me of the Stanford Prison Experiment. Everyone can do evil things. Power causes people to make decisions they wouldn't normally make because the resources and readily provided to them.

    1. There Happy remains today, and since the death of an elephant companion in 2006, she has lived alone, her days alternating between a 1.15-acre yard and an indoor stall.

      This is so sad to read about, this reminds me of the other day when I went to the Bx Zoo for class and a few of us witnessed a Little Penguin just standing outside of the dirty water by itself, isolated from the others that were of a different breed. The regular penguins were outside in another part of the park. The bird just stood there barely moving, the room was cold and disgusting, it was one of the saddest things to see at the zoo.

    1. What is most crucial to our time spent logged on is what happened when logged off; it is the fuel that runs the engine of social media.

      I think this is a smart take on offline vs. online and how they intersect and depend on the other. It reminds me of my hero: Harry Potter and his nemesis: Voldemort. "One cannot live while the other survives" - you know the prophecy- and yet...

    1. What is race in a digital society and what guises are racism taking in a digitally-mediated world

      Reminds me of something I've been thinking about from Teju Cole:

      All technology arises out of specific social circumstances. In our time, as in previous generations, cameras and the mechanical tools of photography have rarely made it easy to photograph black skin. The dynamic range of film emulsions, for example, were generally calibrated for white skin and had limited sensitivity to brown, red or yellow skin tones. Light meters had similar limitations, with a tendency to underexpose dark skin. And for many years, beginning in the mid-1940s, the smaller film-developing units manufactured by Kodak came with Shirley cards, so-named after the white model who was featured on them and whose whiteness was marked on the cards as “normal.” Some of these instruments improved with time. In the age of digital photography, for instance, Shirley cards are hardly used anymore. But even now, there are reminders that photographic technology is neither value-free nor ethnically neutral. In 2009, the face-recognition technology on HP webcams had difficulty recognizing black faces, suggesting, again, that the process of calibration had favored lighter skin.

    2. We

      This reminds me of what Hank Green says was the impetus behind his book (An Absolutely Remarkable Thing) - that the Internet is a place, and we have to learn how to live in it. (Or similar). He’s coming to the same conclusion - that digital sociology must be because the internet is, but from a different path.

    1. nature’s changing course

      The ever-constant change that is brought onto all things Natural by age. This kind of reminds me of Disney's Pocahontas: "Steady like the river...but you can't step in the same river twice," because the water is always in constant motion. It's a nice hyperbolic statement.

    1. "beyond the reversible stances of 'self and other' in which the Eurocentric gaze fashions itself as the other"

      this reminds me of the discussions in class we had about globalization and how in America we view 'our' contemporary art as the baseline by which we compare art to other countries. This is an example of how traditional art history can be problematic and how the canon tends to leave out non western art, therefore perpetuating the idea that non western art is "other".

    1. As if he were aware of some stain or some filth that others did not see.

      Eerily reminds me of the line "Out, damn spot!" in Shakespeare's play Macbeth. Lady Macbeth compulsively scrubs her hands clean again and again after she and her husband murder the king.

    1. How will you know which sources to rely on?

      This reminds me of class the other day when we talked about Wikipedia. Although it can provide you with valid information, it isn't always a credible source since anyone can change the content.

    1. he idea that emotional suppressionand repression impair psychological functioning

      this reminds me of how people tend to say that if you keep too much bottled up it can be unhealthy. by not letting out some emotions sometimes it can cause people to eventually "spill over" in irrational ways.

    2. the idea that emotional suppressionand repression impair psychological functioning

      This reminds me of something we talked about in Dr. Basset's Death and Dying class. We learned about the different ways cultures handle the emotions after losing a loved one. Some cultures express the emotions freely (crying, taking time from work, grieving), but other cultures are not allowed to show any emotions of grieving or must do it in privacy.

    1. As a woman of that generation, she wrote this piece that’s so ahead of its time,” Austin Wulliman, one of the JACK violinists, marveled in a recent interview. “You see people dealing with these same musical ideas still, to this day.”

      This reminds me of many prominent musicians throughout music history that we've discussed in class who have written pieces that are revolutionary for their time. One such example is JS Bach, the father of fugues. People thought that fugues were too sporadic in their polyphony but were later to be deemed as intricate pieces with disjointed but interconnected lines.

    1. Don’t get me wrong: the media is useful in many ways.

      Using media to criticize media... interesting.

      This reminds me of Chaucer's "Words to His Scrivener"... He uses words to highlight his anger towards scribes in particular. Chaucer is frustrated with his scribe, Adam, because the writer finds mistakes made by the scribe that he must spend time editing and correcting. It is so ironic. If Chaucer was able to write a poem criticizing his scribe, maybe he should've just written his own poems.

  6. Mar 2019
    1. Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest Now is the time that face should form another;

      This reminds me of Snow White, mirror mirror on the wall. The Queen's face shifts to Snow White's portraying youth and beauty. Everything the Queen wants to be.

    1. To reduce music history to a pageant of masters is, at bottom, lazy. We stick with the known in order to avoid the hard work of exploring the unknown.

      It is natural for humans to pursue something beautiful, while we should not pursue beauty blindly, intentionally ignoring the dirties under the beautiful skin. No matter the music history or the human history, what we are learning in the school is based on the textbooks that have been edited by some groups of scholars, who only display to us what they want us to know. Most people don’t question the truth of the history, just accepting the “knowledge”, which is, as the author says, a lazy behavior.

      Looking back on the music history, most common people may immediately think of Beethoven or Chopin. Past musicians the public are most familiar with usually come to be white males. The adulation of white-male hero in the music circle makes laymen only know to praise their talent, forgetting to doubt why all these masterpieces were written by white men. Where are women? Where are the black?

      Is “the known” we “stick to” real? Or the “pageant” in music is a fake, a self-recreation of white males. It reminds me of a best-selling book last year, Bad Blood by John Carreyrou. The young, charismatic founder Elizabeth Holmes makes up a fantastic background and draws a bright future for her startup in Silicon Valley, Theranos. A number of investors are attracted by the gorgeous veil of Theranos, by the beautiful appearance of Holmes. Nobody realizes it is an elaborated lie knitted by Homes, till the Wall Street Journal’s John Carreyrou reveals the fraud.

      It is hard to awaken a person who is pretending to be asleep. Some people are only willing to see what they think is correct, living in a world which is created for them, having no awareness to question the truth of their surroundings, unwilling to explore the unknown. Perhaps they enjoy being the role as Truman.

    1. instead of try-ing to change their environment, artists today are simply “learning to inhabit theworld in a better way”

      this reminds me of the contrast between art installations that were happening during the AIDS crisis and art today. On the one hand, art during the AIDS movement was made to educate people and its goal was to improve the human condition. While on the other hand, I have seen street art displaying images and text about hope and love which appeal to the idea of "learning to inhabit the world in a better way"

    1. t takes two to make animage.

      the viewer is just as important as the art itself. art would be "dead" if there was nobody to view it and make interpretations of it. So in this argument, art does not exist if there is nobody talking about it and debating its meaning and purpose. this idea reminds me of the question "if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around, does it still make a sound?"if nobody is talking about art and experiencing it, then the only real benefit is to the artist.

    1. nothing else is love

      This resonates with me on a personal level, because it just reminds me of how much love God has for us through Jesus Christ. It reminds me that no other love is as great as the one God has for us and sometimes it is easy to forget. It reminds me that the physical things come and go, but God is above everything else and eternal.

    1. For by this word is meant that thing than which nothing greater can be conceived. But that which exists in reality and mentally is greater than that which exists only mentally.

      This reminds me of Anselm!

    1. guilt has the power to completely unhinge a person regardless of whether or not they have committed any actual wrongdoing.

      This reminds me of when we're at the airport, and my dad immediately gets very VERY anxious during the security bit--even he's done nothing wrong! It's the intimidation, and makes one believe that they may have done something or brought something forbidden in their carry-on luggage

    2. Although all humans may feel guilty from time to time, a person ought to avoid fully embracing him- or herself as inherently corrupt, as this attitude only invites further misbehavior.

      I don't know how I feel about this analysis. For a lot of the article, the play is being treated like an actual play with actual themes: oh, this is about guilt, moral corruption and this and that and whatever. The analysis reminds me of something to do with Kafka's The Trial, about a man being incarcerated for a crime that they're not even disclosing to him. But Kafka was trying to make a point about guilt there. I don't reckon that Pinter's doing the same. I believe that Pinter's making a point about absurdity, about the lack of meaning even in a play, and he doesn't have much regard for other themes. It calls to mind this (mildly relevant) review I read about Joyce's Finnegans Wake: "I see what Joyce is doing; he is fucking around with words and having a blast, but I don’t want any part of it." See, I don't think we can analyse The Birthday Party as we can other plays, just like one can't analyse Joyce as one can other novels.

    1. progress can also cause negative effects, atrocious ones

      This grows my thinking of how progress can be good but it has the ability to make a negative impact. This reminds me of the cycle of revolution when a revolution is started and a conflict occurs by the people fighting to make a difference towards positive progress but it can have negative effects.

    2. Let us found a new method — the Scientific Method — and with it dedicate ourselves to the advancement of knowledge of the secret causes of things, and the expansion of the bounds of human empire to the achievement of all things possible.

      This reminds me of the Enlightenment because people are said to be working together and find new inventions/advancements/knowledge.

    1. Pinter challenges the notion that a commitment to order is an indication of sanity

      This reminds me of that Ray Bradbury story, 'There Will Come Soft Rains.' It's basically about an automated house (in the future) that's going through all of its daily routines; however, something catches on fire, and the house starts to burn down, but the house continues going through its motions, and reads the poem 'There Will Come Soft Rains' before burning down completely. Similarly, Meg is stuck in a burning house, but is intent on going through all of her routines as if nothing has happened. Might this be a commentary on the nature of conservatism? Of not embracing change? For isn't every revolution, whether it be social or political or environmental, a new kind of chaos that eventually becomes the norm, paving the way for more revolutions, more sea changes, and more chaos?

    2. Indeed, she focuses on her daily patterns so intently that she fails to recognize the existential and subtle forms of chaos that are disrupting the sense of order she’s supposedly imposing upon the household; she simply continues her routines despite the fact that they no longer support any kind of true stability.

      This reminds me of Chronicle of a Death Foretold! In both, the characters are blinded by their obligations and thus fail to realise that in order to maintain honour/organisation, they commit acts that ironically further the opposite. By ignoring these 'subtle forms of chaos', she is allowing them to fester and continue.

      This reminds me a lot of what we talk about in my tourism class, often times tourism is thought of as colonialism because richer, larger nations will visit these small countries for tourism purposes using their resources and leaving. This also forces the smaller nations to turn there culture into something that can be commodified. In Art, cultural producers struggle between making products that represent them selves and creating works that tourists will buy.

    1. Bennett urges us to cul-tivate and cherish experiences of enchantment, to wean ourselvesfrom an endemic mindset of pessimism and critique

      It reminds me of the new sincerity trend in literature and other creative realms.

    2. They come to see themselvesdifferently by gazing outward

      this reminds me of the sisters in Little Women, since they begin to question their behaviors while reading The Pilgrim's Progress

    3. theoretical engagement with recognitionis hedged round with prohibitions and taboos, often spurned asunseemly, even shameful, seen as the equivalent of a suicidal plungeinto unprofessional naïveté.

      This reminds me of the criticisms that were directed at the genre of the novel when it first emerged in the 18th century. Critics feared that an over-identification with characters in a novel could be dangerous and give women "wrong" ideas.

    Annotators

    1. And I saw that she still lay motionless on the sand, with her eyes open and her neck stretched out. And she seemed to look for something on the far-off border of the desert that never came. And I wondered if she were awake or asleep, And as I looked her body quivered, and a light came into her eyes, like when a sunbeam breaks into a dark room.

      The imagery in this paragraph reminds me of past pieces of literature in which women are reborn through death on beachside settings. In both "Annabel Lee" by Poe, which came before Dreams, and The Awakening by Kate Chopin which followed shortly after Dreams, the women around which the respective works are centered find rebirth through death in a beachside setting. In Chopin's work, specifically, the idea of Edna's death by drowning is a reclaiming of agency and marks the character's freedom from the restraints put upon her by a patriarchal society. As Dreams is considered a feminist text which led heavily to women's suffragette movement, the repetition of the image of a sleeping woman rising from the sand in Schreiner's work creates a motif amongst female-centric texts surrounding the implications of female rebirth. One may read into these repeated image as a connection to the Romantic's emphasis on the natural world as a setting for spiritual realignment and inspiration, while this may additionally be read as social commentary on the lack of escape options for women in a male-dominated society. Most accurately, I would argue, it can be read as both.

    2. Life and Love

      This reminds me a lot of the story of Every Man-- these objects and ideas are made into characters that follow the ideas of these emotions. I like their characterization, and even more I like how Life and Love lay down the sleep presumably together, showing how closely intertwined these two ideals are, both as ideas and as physically represented characters.

    1. ‘Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I’m sure I shan’t be able! I shall be a great deal too far off to trouble myself about you: you must manage the best way you can;—but I must be kind to them,’ thought Alice, ‘or perhaps they won’t walk the way I want to go! Let me see: I’ll give them a new pair of boots every Christmas.’

      This disconnect she gets from her own body. Carrol is exploring proprioception in an imaginative way - an innate sensation of knowing where our limbs are w/o seeing them.

      The only way we can understand what proprioception feels like is in its absence. Growing large is a wild way to examine this. Reminds me also of Oliver Sacks' case study, "The Disembodied Lady", in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.

    1. ech

      each; this reminds me of a trip I learned from my French teacher in High School. the tip was for helping memorize vocabulary and written sentences by only writing out the words in a shortened version by nixing the vowels if needed. It was a helpful tip.

    2. she was followed with forty or fifty women always

      This reminds me of the scene in The King and I where all the wives come out one by one with the kids and the servents and it feels like the stream of people is never going to end

    1. n which the pictures reveal more about the absent and invisible white male subject who is the agent of represen- tation than they do about the black men whose beautiful bodies we see depicted

      this reminds me of the discussion we had in class about Mapplethorpes privelage as a white male artist. Is it right for him to be making art glorifying the black male body when he himself is a white man? He may be the only one with the platform to do so on such a scale but it can be argued that he has no right to as a white man.

    1. Art against AIDS," for example, know precisely what kinds of scientific research are supported by the American Foundation for AIDS Research

      again, this quote reminds me of the possible guilt these people who were donating were feeling. the idea of donating to make themselves feel better rather than donating because they actually genuinely care about the cause.

    1. As a result the modernist insistenceon an essential meaninglessness at the center of artistic practice came ac-tually to mean less and les

      this reminds me of a discussion i had in a class about the difference between real art and "craft" i do not think that painting is a craft, but who says that people can't paint for fun. artists shouldnt have to be making art for the critic or the art historian. the idea of meaninglessness is hard to decipher. i believe the artist is the most important person when it comes to what they are trying to get across and i dont think that any art is meaningless

    1. andy warhol's diamond dust shoes reminds me of the "waning of affect" that has to do with postmodern art and the flatness of postmodern art. another article makes a comparison between Van Gogh's shoes that directly speaks to the condition of the person wearing the shoes whereas Warhol's use of the same subject doesnt really say anything at all, its just commercialism.

    2. the quotation about painting being possessed by structure reminds me of formalism and how other mediums cannot really be viewed through the lense of formalism as easy as paintings can.

    1. center

      this reminds me of the discussion we had in class about Serra's artwork and how it has no real purpose other than to be seen and experienced. it forces people to look at it wether not not their reactions are positive. Any publicity is good publicity!

    1. blends existential modernism with British realism and pragmatism

      This reminds me of what Max was saying about how we would expect allegories to be much more "fantastical" or whatnot. What "The Birthday Party" does instead is blends this existentialism with a sense of realism (as the article says), which makes it even more... absurd?

    2. Stanley represents that spirit of defiance. He's not a passive victim waiting to be destroyed, but someone who puts up a fight.

      Interesting--reminds me of our class discussion, with Annika saying Stanley's more annoyed than terrified, and most other people saying he was terrified. But how does he represent defiance? He's a broken character by the end. What does he do to defy conformity?

    1. , but also that the open license would allow students (and teaching faculty) to contribute to the knowledge commons, not just consume from it, in meaningful and lasting ways. 

      An interesting departure from the passive-type pedagogies - reminds me of Paulo Freire's take on empowerment through learning and creating a more diverse and just way to learn. Seems like we still have remnants of what he would call "the banking model" of learning.

    1. One example of thisis Muslim women who wear a hijab, or head scarf. Non-Muslims do not follow this practice,so occasional misunderstandings arise about the appropriateness of the tradition.

      This reminds me of the activity from last week dealing with prejudice. Someone who was not a part of that culture assumed the woman wearing the hijab was just trying to "hide her hair" instead of just seeing it as she was expressing her culture.

    2. In this way, anthropologists often attemptto understand and appreciate culture from the point of view of the people within it.

      This statement reminds me of when I took an anthropology class here at Lander and our professor showed us a documentary about Julia Roberts living with a Mongolian nomad family for days to learn about and live their culture. The link I have attached is just one part of the documentary. Here she is learning about the Mongolian's relationship with wild horses.

    3. people from Brazil—a poorer nation—had unusually high scores compared to their income counterparts.

      This reminds me of a friend I made while studying abroad. She was from Brazil, and often told me about how things were there and what life means to people in her country. Joy is very important to them, and that was evident in her demeanor. Despite the political issues, economic problems, and other grave matters, she remained optimistic, and said that that is simply a part of their mindset.

    1. Let me say that again: It’s regular human communication astride a new medium.

      I am really intrigued by this statement and I think in some ways I agree. For example, it reminds be of the use of social media and the debate surrounding the types of human connection and communication it prompts. Although tools like Instagram and Facebook do not replace face to face connection, they provide an additional method of human connection that some may argue can be even more valuable.

    1. If compute is the main thing that unlocks new AI capabilities, then we can expect most of the strategic (and related geopolitical) landscape of AI research to re-configure in coming years around a compute-centric model, which will likely have significant implications for the AI community.

      Reminds me of a discussion about what's more important for the recent successes in ML: algorithms, compute, or the abundance of data.

    1. t the same time, though, SDOis not just about being personally dominantand controlling of others; SDO describes apreferred arrangement of groups withsome on top (preferably one’s own group)and some on the bottom.

      This reminds of me of the T.V series "Gossip Girl". The majority of this show is about high school/college age girls trying to keep the hierarchy of cliques between the wealthy girls from the upper east side and the middle class girls.

    1. Gesamtkunstwerke,

      This reminds me of music videos and they way they arguable incorporate all 6 Components of Meaning Making: Linguistic, Visual, Audio, Gestural, Spatial and Multimodal patterns

    1. Monitoring Antibiotic Use to Reduce Antibiotic Resistance

      This reminds me of a Forbes article I read recently by Bruce Lee (who is a really super guy, by the way): https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2018/09/22/fda-here-is-the-2019-strategic-approach-to-combat-antimicrobial-resistance/#1e92fd203210

      Two of the AMR strategies that the FDA announced for 2019 were to enhance surveillance methods and support antibiotic stewardship. So these seem to recurring themes, yet, at least following Scott Gottlieb's statements, we don't seem to be making any major progress. Kind of feels like shouting into the void.

    1. Her words, including Southern folk tales collected by Hurston and read faithfully in dialect the way she had copied them down from her sources, complete with unsparing racial stereotypes of the day, drew occasional groans but mostly easy laughter.

      The descriptions of her work reminds me of my book love book author, Mark Twain.

    1. inequitable practices

      reminds me of the situation happening now, with actresses and other parents caught paying admissions reps and other people to get their kids into top school :/ doesn't surprise me at all

    1. (108) Jesus said, "He who will drink from my mouth will become like me. I myself shall become he, and the things that are hidden will be revealed to him."

      This reminds me of the wine representing Jesus' blood

    1. And I, thus loving you, cannot but think that ye as heartily and faithfully love me; and then I doubt not but that we shall give these rebels a short and speedy overthrow.

      She reminds me of Hilary Clinton in her "I love everyone speech"

    2. Wherefore hast thou instructed others to be strong in Christ, when thou theyself dost now so horribly abuse the testament and law of the Lord; when thou thyself preaches (as it were not to steal) yet most abominably stealest, not from men but from God, and as a most heinous sacrilegious robber, robbest Christ thy redeemer of his right in his members, they body and they soul;

      This reminds me of the pardoner's tale where the main character is in charge of collecting the "offering" for the church and uses any religious means necessary in order to guilt the people into giving more. He himself though, is not a strict follower of christ and uses his position of power to distance himself from the rest. This abuse of the "law of the lord" is not knew and is something I doubt will ever cease to occur.

    1. becoming digital citizens, empowered learners, and computational thinkers.

      This reminds me of some Health Curriculum aspects- teaching students social and community health and well being. I recently used a lesson about Video Game Avatars that can affect body image.

    1. Meanwhile,inschool,ourreactionhasbeentobanthesetechnologiesorseverelyrestricttheiraccess.

      This reminds me of a couple of incidents that happened in my high school: someone blew an incident out of proportion and the administration cracked down on groupchat apps for a while, and then the same thing happened with tests in a certain class that banned the students from using any of those apps completely. Both of these incidents illustrate just how the world changed, because it would be unthinkable in the past.

    1. And let the misty mountain-winds be free

      The use of imagery here makes the reader visually see the image but also imagine how it would feel. I like this imagery because it reminds me of the trip to SAPA during the hike, and how it was misty and slightly windy but for the most part calming and beautiful.

    2. I bounded o'er the mountains, by the sides Of the deep rivers, and the lonely streams,

      The use of imagery here lets the audience imagine the difference between the rivers and the streams. You are able to see how the different singular streams come together into one river. The use of personifying the streams as "lonely" , can help us see how his descriptions are a mirror of his emotions. I like this piece of imagery because it reminds me of being at my grandpa's house in the mountains.

    3. With some uncertain notice, as might seem Of vagrant dwellers in the houseless woods, Or of some Hermit's cave, where by his fire The Hermit sits alone.

      This image somehow reminds me of the novel 'The Hobbit' in which Bilbo Baggins lives in a cave-like house alone with a fire. I really enjoyed reading this novel and this passage takes me back to the moment I read this book.

    4. These plots of cottage-ground, these orchard-tufts, Which at this season, with their unripe fruits, Are clad in one green hue, and lose themselves

      I really like this image as it reminds me of a holiday-house I stayed in may Christmases ago in Australia. It was a cottage in the middle of beautiful green grassland, surrounded by native trees and flowers. Reading this makes me want to return back to this spot and relive the moment.

    5. setting suns, And the round ocean and the living air, And the blue sky,

      I liked this image described in the poem as it reminded me of the time I was younger and would visit the beach with my family. It really reminds me of all the fun I had with nature and how it would always make me feel better which is kind of similar to the strong bond between nature and the poet. I like how the adjectives used such as the round ocean and the living air, it makes the poem more interesting to read.

    1. And so she did. She slandered her husband, her friends, her own self; she spoke many a reprevous word and many a shrewd word; she knew no virtue nor goodness; she desired all wickedness; like as the spirits tempted her to say and do so she said and did. She would ‘a fordone herself many a time at their steering and ‘a been damned with them in Hell, and into witness thereof she bit her own hand so violently that it was seen all her life after. And also she rived her skin on her body again her heart with her nails spiteously, for she had none other instruments, and worse she would ‘a done save she was bound and kept with strength both day and night that she might not have her will.

      This whole part reminds me of the movie the exorcist, it sounds almost exactly the same thing that happens to the little girl where she starts to swear and gets all violent. That sounds really scary if you think about it, feeling yourself becoming less and less of who you are and start to slowly turn into something horrible. And it must be really hard on the people close to her, they have to see her change to the point where she's unrecognizable.

      I applied for an internship here 3 years in a row after graduating from portfolio school. Never got an interview. This is me failing harder.

    1. judgments are made about the child: Boys willbe rough and like blue, while girls will be delicate and like pink.

      This just reminds me of how the toys in fast food kids meals are sometimes gendered. I remember as a kid that they would always ask if the meal was for a boy or a girl and that would determine what kind of toy would go in the meal. They are assuming what the child wants based on generalized ideas of preferences. I remember being kinda disappointed sometimes because my brother would get a cool transformer or something and i would get like a beanie baby.

    1. Nast’s reminder of the Irish-born instigator who shouted the loudest, and most effectively, that “The Chinese Must Go.”

      This line makes me think about the irony in their thinking. An Irish-born shouting the loudest, since the Irish are also immigrants. Why wouldn't immigrants support other immigrants. It reminds me of the saying "Better them than us" .

    1. Discuss how the activity students are doing with a technology application could also be done in the real world. For example, instead of using Excel spreadsheets to create charts from artificial data, use real-world data

      This reminds me of an activity my daughter had to do this year in her grade 7 class at PA. She was tasked to make a budget for a trip for three to Victoria. She did this in an excel spreadsheet and kept track of hotel accommodation, food entertainment and miscellaneous for the duration of a few days holiday., It was such a fantastic way for students to learn valuable, real-world lessons.

    1. By approaching the art-work from these exorbitant angles one is suddenly able to rediscover organically those eternal prin­ciples of art

      Im a little late with this becasuse i got confused with the assignments. this stop of writing reminds me of what we did in class. I enjoy the feeling of not knowing where you are going but having the confort of where you are. i think that this is partly one of the reasons that gertrude enjoyed her style of writing.

    1. This reporter went on to say that because ,nany of the people in positions oflcadership in the media sector are older, Canadian-born, and perhaps did not grow up in a context that was as multicultural as today's, they have a different definition of what the "nonn" is, and "that probably contributes to added interest in candidates who arc not white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, or Catholic:'

      I think this is an important reminder that the framing and publishing of news stories first and foremost serve the interests of news outlet organizations and reporters. This statement shows that there is a real institutionalized problem where the "norm" of news stories is something that ignores or undermines multiculturalism in Canada.

      This reminds me of the Maclean's example we saw in class, where the visual portrayal of the 'average Canadian' left out ethnic minorities, a huge part of the Canadian population.

    1. We are beginning to invent another language — a language perfectly and beautifully adapted to express useful statements, a language of signs.

      the "useful statements" she refers to is really broad, because "useful" could mean many things. I also like how Woolf mentions that we are beginning to "invent a new language" because that reminds me a lot of slang that is used in the city. Each place can "invent" slang as it is needed based on how they live their everyday lives.

    2. This proves, if it needs proving, how very little natural gift words have for being useful. If we insist on forcing them against their nature to be useful,

      This reminds me of the caution signs on the trains about not leaning on the doors, while people continue to lean on the very caution label and when in high school, we would put up a sign that the office would be closed and people still proceeded to enter and ask for the people in the offices. This shows to prove that a lot of the times either people don't read signs or they don't think the words that they read have any value or purpose.

    1. The only other thing that troubled me was the wind.”

      In horror stories and movies, scenes such as this one of the "wind" moving about, makes them quite predictable. However, there is an importance in Mr. Denton mention the wind, especially when he makes it a point to constantly not bother the readers with minuscule details. The wind alludes to a haunting and terrifying being, being in the house. It builds suspense and hardens the intensity within the text because now readers are aware something is definitely there, they just don't know what. It reminds me of the intense and suspenseful scenes when people yell at the screen and tell the girls not to go into the basement because you know there's something there, here you just want to tell James that there is something evil in the house, run (or at least get rid of the curtains)! During moments like these I believe the frustration derives from knowing that the protagonist refuses to trust their instincts.

    1. As a whole, the form of each creature was that of a man; as he says: They had the likeness of a man

      reminds me of Plato's forms but he goes about it in a different way
