Any promising new invention will have its naysayers, and the bigger the promises, the louder the nays.
Reminds me of what is on-going currently in today's digital age with a certain 'new' technology called the blockchain. Banks have criticized crypto-currency for years and are now just embracing it, something of which similarly happened with the internet.
Pride pumped in her like poison.
This reminds me of the seven deadly sins. Religious symbolism maybe?
lose yourself
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Yhyp-_hX2s
Any time I hear the phrase "Lose Yourself", it reminds me of this song by Eminem. In recent years, it became more of a meme, but I still find it to be relevant to the context of the poem
A wide-eyed trainengine perfectly smokes, warbles a song about forward.
The lines reminds me of the storybook The Little Engine that Could. By referencing this popular children's book the author is highlight just how small the main character is and her child-like view on the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TPUwrURo6M
How the Pope sent down his bulls to make peace, and how Sir Launcelot brought the queen to King Arthur
This story reminds me a lot of Helen of Troy and the Trojan war.
We have developed quite a few concepts and methods for using the computer system to help us plan and supervise sophisticated courses of action, to monitor and evaluate what we do, and to use this information as direct feedback for modifying our planning techniques in the future.
This reminds me of "personalized learning."
And there they died upon a Good Friday for God’s sake.
Mordred really was a pain in the ass. The thing is that Arthur tried to have him killed when he was young. But look at how he turned out, spiteful and full of resentment in his attempt to overthrow his fathers rule. It reminds me of Star Wars and how Kylo Ren was nearly killed by Luke Skywalker when he was young and he turned out to be super evil (or at the very least power hungry) and resented Luke forever. I guess the lesson that can be learned from the story is that sometimes even the people closest to you can have little trouble being two-faced.
7. Team Cooperation
The below reminds me of working in Google Docs, which can indeed be a delightful site for collaboration.
Still--and perhaps I've just been monastic in my stance while reading Engelbart--I wonder about the power of isolated individual deliberation ahead of or in some other less immediate relation to the cooperation described here.

clear unequivocal indication of His essence
It's interesting that God's name "YHWH" is unpronounceable, because that itself kind of reminds me of when Maimonides just got done saying about how God is unfathomable and we can't really ascribe any qualities to Him.
“Dear lords,” said he, “in churches, when I preach, I am at pains that all shall hear my speech, 45 And ring it out as roundly as a bell, For I know all by heart the thing I tell.
I'm a Christian, but to me, upon reading the summary, reminds me a lot of... No other than, Joel Osteen. Always preaching the prosperity gospel.
(i.e. Prosperity theology is a religious belief among some Christians, who hold that financial blessing and physical well-being are always the will of God for them, and that faith, positive speech, and donations to religious causes will increase one's material wealth)
BERSANI mitism, just as our leaders, by relegating the protection of people infected with HIV to local authorities, are telling those authorities that anything goes, that the federal government does not find the idea of camps-or perhaps worse - intolerable.

but the psychic (soul) is not susceptible to mortality
Reminds me of Prof. Miller on how Aristotle might have considered some particular faculty of the rational soul to be able to exist separately from the body-- Avicenna takes a more definitive stance.
When the spiritand body are set free, the body decays, (but) the soul does notdecay
this reminds me of the existence of the soul after death that Socrates discusses
buthe knew he could not praise it with language that consisted of sounds andtherefore fell under (the category of) language.
This reminds me of Divine Names and how PD said that anything we can conceive of to call God falls short of actual descriptions.
Now, contemporary art is oftenmarked by non-availability, by being viewable only at a specifictime.
This reminds me of clothing drops, where a brand will release a very small amount of an item to create hype around it and make it seem more special (air jordans, supreme). This theme may be more about the hype and the exclusivity than about the art itself today.
Lady Cambee’s lace was the chief thing about her—heavy black Spanish lace with large flowers. Everything she wore was trimmed with it. A large veil of it hung over her old bonnet. But her hand coming out of this heavy lace was a curious thing to see. She had very long fingers, very taper, which had been much admired in her youth; and her hand was very white, or rather more than white, pale, bleached, and bloodless, with large blue veins standing up upon the back; and she wore some fine rings, among others a big diamond in an ugly old daw setting. They were too big for her, and were wound round and round with yellow silk to make them keep on: and this little cushion of silk, turned brown with long wearing, had twisted round so that it was more conspicuous than the jewels; while the big diamond blazed underneath in the hollow of her hand, like some dangerous thing hiding and sending out darts of light.
This paragraph was interesting to me as I went through the text because of the fact that it provides a vivid description for Lady Cambee. One of the key elements in the story is that the main character sees something through the library window that reminds her of what her father had done. However, despite their wisdom, these elderly people are unable to see the things that she sees. I find that her appearance is very extravagant, bloated, and if we were to judge the character on this description alone it would almost feel like she has some attraction to these superficial items that reminisce on her ideal model of beauty.
But it was very tantalising that it should fluctuate so; for sometimes I saw that room quite plain and clear—quite as clear as I could see papa’s library, for example, when I shut my eyes. I compared it naturally to my father’s study, because of the shape of the writing-table, which, as I tell you, was the same as his. At times I saw the papers on the table quite plain, just as I had seen his papers many a day. And the little pile of books on the floor at the foot—not ranged regularly in order, but put down one above the other, with all their angles going different ways, and a speck of the old gilding shining here and there. And then again at other times I saw nothing, absolutely nothing, and was no better than the old ladies who had peered over my head, drawing their eyelids together, and arguing that the window had been shut up because of the old long-abolished window tax, or else that it had never been a window at all It annoyed me very much at those dull moments to feel that I too puckered up my eyelids and saw no better than they.
Earlier in the texts, Mary mentions the clear contrast between her youth and the older ladies; they clearly saw past her while she was somehow able to see the older and "wiser" ladies, along with a world beyond them. Diving further into the reading, the window and visions of a room beyond the window strikes me as escapism. She is escaping into a world that is a product of her imagination, influenced by the memories of her past and the thoughts from her present. Mary reminds me of characters from other novels such as Alice from Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz", and Leslie Burke from The Bridge to Terabithia*. All of these characters created a fictional world yet, the colorful details within each novel give these worlds a great deal of verisimilitude. These products of the imagination create a virtual reality within the psyche, allowing those who read these texts to believe the character has truly revealed an ability to connect to a world beyond our standard human eyes. Mary's visions for seeing beyond a window that everyone else is blind to, creates a mystical and alluring environment, when she enters this other world she pulls further apart from reality yearning to see more of this mysterious "other" side that she seems to be so familiar with.
As well, these tools support increased tolerance of anxiety and healthy coping, in a calm and mindful way.

This immediately caught my attention, in regards to the role of the Christian religion in regards to colonialism in U.S, Africa, and Latin America. In the book, "Stamped from the Beginning," by Ibram X. Kendi. He mentions that Cotton Mather in order to brainwash and continue white supremacy to continue slavery and to win Christian converts, "Cotton Mather preached racial inequality in the body while insisting that the dark souls of enslaved Africans would become White when they became Christians.
It reminds me of when in "Murambi," when Siméon is talking to Cornelius about the arrival of the first Europeans and when the missionaries assimilated Mwami into traditional western Christian. I was thinking about the use of oral word and memory to tell this story that was told to Simeon's in his childhood as a form of factual evidence that is credible, especially as it was told by a Rwandan and not from a European account.
The presence of this object is haunting because of it's forceful implications of Christianity upon Rwanda, it revives and is a symbol and trace of colonialism. Then it's interesting to realize how ironic that Western powers were clearly uninterested and not involved in ending the Genocide in Rwanda. But instead they almost stood by and watched. Not caring because it was happening on the other side of the world, so it didn't effect them. Exactly what Michel said in the beginning of the novel, "In my heart of hearts I knew I was wrong. The World Cup was about to begin in the United States. The planet was interested in nothing else. And in any case, whatever happened in Rwanda, it would always be the same old story of blacks beating up on each other. "
This object demonstrates the traces of colonial past that geared towards power and domination. Also about the U.S and Europe as being world powers, from colonial roots, however, they not being accountable for their colonial pasts and the institutionalization of racial hierarchies. Especially it's effect on the present day and their nonexistent roles during the Rwandan genocide.
But as they forced me to choose the silverish
On reading the passage, I found the allocation of colours to the different ghosts interesting, a copper-ish ghost and a silver-ish ghosts. This could be the author alluding to the race of the the ghosts, with the copper being African or Black (there is also a reference to African food cooked by the copperish ghost) and the silverish being the White Colonizer. The color copperish and golden light reminds of the film 'Moonlight' which is well-known for its cinematography and specifically for how the lighting was very effective in bringing out and highlighting Black bodies. I am referring to the scene where Mahershala Ali is teaching young Chiron how to swim in the ocean where Ali's body looks cooperish under the golden sunlight.
Additionally, it is also interesting that the narrator's instinct is to pick the copperish ghost, possibly because he can connect with him, but is "forced" to pick the silverish one. This could be a metaphor for how under colonialism, the colonized only have an illusion of a choice and ultimately have to pick the colonizer anyway.

I like this point is Bee's argument as well and this reminds me of the argument of the DOI that it becomes necessary for citizens to question the government and the mechanisms of democracy as a whole. In this case Bee exposes a double standard that voters have too little responsibility to complain about it and the voters have too much responsibility that they feel they are responsible for the actions of the government itself
She was no longer a pretty little lady, but a bitch.

At this time Oday carried that huge responsibility of being the oldest man in the family, life put him in that situation of being responsible of taking care of his mom and his four siblings, he had a hard time with doing it, his family to forget what recently happened and keep going, he always wanted to see his mom smiling, he hated seeing her tears when she remembers his dad and the way he died far away from her. It was hard for him, but he could do it, he kept moving between the United States and Jordan, until the day that he convinced his mom to go back to America and live their with him , and they actually moved, and the life became way better. now he can see his mom and siblings easily, at least he doesn't feel alone anymore, but who knows maybe he still feel alone without his father with him after these years, maybe that seeing his family reminds him of everything happened, maybe he can’t describe the sadness that he feels or he doesn't want to show it to them that, and always the mask of being the strong man who can handle everything, and maybe he really forgot, maybe he’s doing okay and he’s happy with his life. Who knows what’s going on. His young brother said “ he has wisdom from the hard and different experiences that he went through, he always makes my think deeply, spending time with him is like spending time with a sixty years old man, because of the way he thinks about life, and the lessons he tries to give me”.
Its hard for me to pick my favorite part of this paragraph so I just decided to highlight the whole thing because it was extremely well written and deep.

Besides the sideshow of food in the beginning Im really enjoying this a whole lot. I kinda wish Gawain wasnt such a basic knight like to me he felt kinda plain. But also the green knight woo wee this dude radiates this bad-ass aura of im the biggest cheese you'll seen. I love the story so far I cant wait to read the rest of this. Im so into this. It reminds me of like video game in a sense bring out this dude thats all powerful and Gawain is like maybe a level 5 basic knight but yet he adheres to his code...for now.
Helpers help to the extentthat it makes them feel better
this reminds me of an episode of Young Justice. The League was fighting a group of villains teamed up with corrupted government officials. The "bad guys" had captured a child and forcibly altered his DNA to make him a super kid. The fight was going very badly for the League at first because the super kid was very strong, and was being mind controlled by one of the villains to fight against the team. Meanwhile, an old farmer had been awakened by the commotion, and came out with his gun to watch the fight. He did not take any action (thankfully, or he would have been easily killed) while all like 15 superheroes were fighting each other. However, the team managed to break the mind control on the boy and he helped them win the fight. Immediately after the villains fled the scene, the boy got shot through the chest and died, and the farmer proclaimed, "I've killed the monster!!"
I feel like we can all relate to the farmer, though it's uncomfortable to admit. When things are too risky or scary, we don't want to help. Then, we feebly attempt to contribute once the problem is mostly resolved, sometimes doing more harm than good, because we feel ashamed that we were too afraid to act when it really counted.
avoiding feelings of guilt if one does not help may be considered a benefit.
this reminds me of psyc 314 when we talked about kids showing empathy sometimes only because they were made uncomfortable by another person being upset. Some children will even be aggressive when a friend is upset and cannot be calmed. In situations when help is given mainly to soothe the helper, is it really helping?
.
I've always thought this was interesting. People do tend to not do anything because others don't. It's like people just conform to other's actions. This phenomenon reminds me of the saying evil only happens when good people choose to do nothing.

This reminds me of Aristotle's rational animal and Nicomachean ethics.

This reminds me of Plato's "Chariot Allegory:" the notion that the charioteer (logic, reason) attempts to drive and control the two horses (rational and irrational) toward the truth.

This quotation reminds me of the quote from the book, "New Literacies," where it states, “The technical stuff of new literacies is part and parcel of generating, communicating, and negotiating encoded meanings by providing a range of new or more widely accessible resource possibilities (‘affordances’) for making meaning.” (Pg 56) This quotation reminded me of the statement previously used because now than before, it is much easier in the 21st century to be able to create anything we want at the palm of our hand on a laptop, cellphone or tablet. With the use of apps, programs or softwares created.
The tools chosen, together, need to enable channels ofcommunication ranging from one to one, one to many within the cohort, and one tomany in public.

So little sunlight ever found its way to this spot, that it had an earthy, deadly smell; and so much cold wind rushed through it, that it struck chill to me, as if I had left the natural world.
The descriptive language in this paragraph reminds me of our class' past discussions on Mayhew's "In The Clouds." Much as Henry Mayhew had utilized heavily artistic and realistic language to paint a picture for his readers, Dickens is utilizing vivid descriptions here to the same effect; both authors create a sense of a "virtual reality" in their stories, by creating so realistic and sensory a setting that their audience feels transported to the world of the story. Dickens specifically calls upon multiple senses in this passage - noting the "wet wall" (touch) and the "earthy, deadly smell" (smell), in addition to the dreary visuals - to provide his readers with an all-encompassing sense of the world they're about to enter. In establishing the setting of the story, and its accompanying somber mood, Dickens makes his tale both more believable and more effective. Believable, in that the realism implied by such descriptive language creates credibility, and effectiveness, in that a somber, chilling tale is more likely to remain so when set against a sunless sky than in a lover's stroll through Mykonos. What's more, the reader of the story is provided with a more personal experience in their readership; not only can the audience imagine themselves in this setting in a very real fashion, but they are doing so from the perspective of the narrator, who is experiencing such sensations for the first time. This causes both the narrator and the audience to feel a sense of awe at their surroundings, and to take careful not of their environment. Receiving this same information from the signalman's perspective would not carry the same gravitas; he is accustomed to the routine nature of life at his post, and is therefore desensitized to much of the sensory onslaught and environmental stimuli Dickens presents through the narrator's eyes.
and most
His emphasis on emotion reminds me of Aristotle, one of the few classical thinkers to take into account a person's emotions in a rhetorical context.

him that has made darkness his hiding place.
this is an interesting phrase in relation to all the other praise worthy statements made prior. Hiding place connotes a desire to be hidden from the guise/pursuit of knowledge that humans desire. This reminds me of deism

. Indeed, despite the minority stress experienced by LGB individuals, Joyner and colleagues (2017) discovered that same-sex married couples are at least as stable as, if not more stable than, different-sex married couples.
This reminds me of that sociological concept of when minorities have to work harder for something, they sort of are more grateful for it -- like fighting oppression fortifies unity within oppressed groups
There’s a cruel through-line between the unfair disciplining of a black preschooler, and the police profiling of a black teen on a street corner. It’s a lot easier to stop the cycle in preschool, before it becomes a full-blown crisis, than to wait until it reaches into our streets and prisons.
This last sentence really resonated with me. It reminds us how important the early years are, not only for students' academically but also emotionally and psychologically. And especially for younger kids, if they don't feel welcome or even liked, it will really hurt their mental state. Such as was seen with the doll experiment where African American kids were asked to identify which doll (White or Black) was better. With this question we were able to see how these kids see themselves and how many didn't feel very self confident or secure in their own bodies. These early years are detrimental!

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

This reminds me of the line earlier (about Yseult, when he leaves Cornwall): "Iseult followed him with her eyes."
I thought this story was very well written. It has a lot of fantasy elements like dragons, hermits, and love potions. It reminds me of Lord of the Rings. Shakespeare might have been inspired by this text to write Romeo and Juliet. I noticed similar themes. I felt challenged by the length of this assignment. I really liked it but it took a long time to get through.
users want to pay the minimum cost to meet their own needs.
this reminds me of what I learned about design. I remember reading that the purpose is to make an experience easier, less complicated for the user. I guess in a way, this describes the experience as "lazy"
User experience (UX) refers to a person’s emotions and attitudes about using a particular product, system or service. It includes the practical, experiential, affective, meaningful and valuable aspects of human–computer interaction and product ownership. Additionally, it includes a person’s perceptions of system aspects such as utility, ease of use and efficiency.
This reminds me of when companies appeal to ethos, pathos, and logos. -emotions (pathos), practical (logos), easy to use/understand (ethos). Just a thought.
groups interacting with other groups are more competitive and less cooperative thanindividuals interacting with other individuals,
This reminds me of when I played softball on my school's team. The teams were always pretty hostile with each other, and we were no exception. Even off the field at tournaments, when we passed a team (whether they were in our bracket to play against or not), we all tended to tense up, scowl a bit, and cast intimidating vibes at the other team, which was doing the same. However, I remember one time, when both teams were warming up right before our game, a huge, heavy thunderstorm came, and we all had to take shelter together in the weight room. at first, both teams were acting closed off and unwelcoming. After about thirty minutes in there, their team on the left side of the room and our team on the right, the rain was still pounding and the lightning was still too close for us to play safely. Finally, someone broke the silence, and small talk began, which turned to jokes and laughter, which turned to both teams singing together and dancing around the weights. I can't even remember if we got to play or not, or which of us won. I just remember it being fun. Our team and that team had a great time playing each other from then on. At first, when we were all in an "us vs. them" mindset, we were all acting in this very competitive, unproductive way. I think it's neat how a strange shared experience can help two opposing groups become friendly, and even encouraging of one another when dynamics return to normal
We might assume that motivation, engagement, self-efficacy, and metacognition are operating in support of students who "read, read, read."
The drive to "read, read, read" reminds me of the issue with trying to cover oodles of content in short periods of time. Students are more often asked to quickly regurgitate surface memorizations than they are asked to slowly and deeply engage with interesting texts. When the only goal is generating "correct answers," we loose the joy of reading and ignore so many other aspects that separate the readers from the non-readers.
participate
This reminds me, like many of you have brought up, like the theory of the Forms and how the word "participate" was frequently used, but we never really saw it defined
No one is good but God alone
reminds me of Boethius --> god is the eternal good
It is and it is as no other being is.
This reminds me of when Moses asked God what the Israelites should call him when devoting praise to His name. God tells Moses: "I am who I am.. this is my name forever" This also references the reverence of the name of Yahweh that the Jews would never even speak aloud, as naming the Lord God could result in taking His name in vain. These sources of identity all support the idea that God is something otherworldly, so divine and outside the realm of human understanding that the account of His divine names is one that is not to be taken lightly or assumed.
We call a halt to the activities of our minds and, to the extent that is proper, we approach the ray which transcends being
This reminds me of asceticism / the beginning of monasticism - moving past earthly "activities of our minds" through giving them up and participating as little as possible in matters down here, in order to be closer to reaching this trascendent level "up there".
70 other communities have tried to secede from their district, according to the recent EdBuild report.
This reminds me of the article I read titled "White Flight" this is a true example of that definition. It is interesting to me that there were 70 attempts, and yet not one wanted to try and fix what was already there.
Good assessment draws on multiple sources of information.
Reminds me of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "The Danger of a Single Story"
However, for state boards of education, college admissions officers, and employers, assessment may provide a gatekeeping function, determining whether an individual can graduate from high school, enter college, engage in certain professions, or hold a particular job.
This reminds me of what the authors discuss on page 53 about empowering education versus domesticating education.
Are we ensuring that education enables students to attain positions of power and authority and become active in civic life? Or are we acting as gatekeepers, ensuring that they become functional and productive but ultimately docile and inactive? The first leads to social reform, but the second ensures the reproduction of inequities.
Worse, Janice came out looking like she hadn't finished the book, when really she probably just had a richer and more complicated view of the story than the test questions could assess. The test was perfect for me, sad to say.
This is disheartening and reminds me of some of my educational experiences. The assessments in schools are not created to test a students' deep understanding, creative abilities, or capabilities to see a story from a new or more complex perspective, but rather their shallow knowledge. Sadly, shallow and useless knowledge is not remembered.
Almost all of these spheresof mental activity have as their single goal the inquiry after truth
I like that all of these Enlightenment thinkers at least had a goal in mind for what they were doing. I mean, we can (and probably should) disagree with how fundamental and exclusionary their definition of truth was, but it seems we continually have trouble (especially in the humanities) articulating why we study the things we do, like we're afraid of defending ourselves because then we might have to say something definitive. Or agree on something. Reminds me of the "Q" question piece.
language socializes each individual
I don't know, but for some reason this just reminds me of connor.emmerich's post on the muckelbauer reading, "just like a distributed computer system uses more than one computer to run an application, this is the notion that the idea of "human" is social/communal, and does not exist on the individual level."
The Geat people built a pyre for Beowulf, Stacked and decked it until it stood four-square, Hung with helmets, heavy war-shields And shining armor, just as he had ordered.
He wanted his body burned once he died. He died fighting a dragon. How could he have not known that he would die or at the very least be severely wounded in the fight against the dragon. Beowulf reminds me of most older people. They think themselves just as invincible as when they were young. Even though people grow old in wisdom they tend to ignore that knowledge and just go with their gut or emotions. To me, that is what this 3rd part is about. Humans are flawed no matter how perfect or invincible they may seem to be.
hey have their union and combination only from the understanding which unites them under one name
so basically language is very powerful in how we classify the world? I don't know why but this reminds me of how Eskimos have 50 words for snow, and all we have is "snow." Maybe sleet. not really sure if this is the same kind of thing but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
by these elucidations given rise or increase to his doubts, and drawn obscurity upon the place
Following Dr. Rivers's postmodern note, this reminds me of our discussion in class related to Nietzsche, how we're so often trained to assume that the text means something other than the text itself, and we search for the "true" meaning buried underneath the text, perhaps in the author's subconscious. I'm reminded to of a comment made in Dr. Johnston's poetry class, that we as critics don't spend enough time on simply characterizing texts; in place of depth arrived at through analysis, we should strive for complexity in our attempt to take the words on the page at their word.
interview with John Naughton, Shoshana Zuboff touches on the feeling of ‘informed bewilderment’
This reminds me that I need to listen to a recent long-form interview she gave to Leo Laporte on <cite>Triangulation</cite>.
I used three different female R&B/Hip hop artists as examples of the sexism and abuse that women endured in the music industry during the 80s and 90s
Sounds like an interesting paper. Reminds me of the lifetime documentary on R. Kelly. Did you watch? It wasn't about hip-hop persay, but there was a little bit about Aaliyah..
Is she going to think I’m a bad person because I’m trying to write some of this in my Computer Science class?
This reminds me of what I hope we'll talk about next week re: place. It's such a real thing-- but where we write impacts how we write.
Is it my fault?
The question reminds me of Look of Silence. There's a really interesting possibility of the autoethnography and that is to resolve any guilt over past events.
Acompany will give you free phone calls to anywhere in the world—if youdon’t mind watching ads for the products its computers hear you talkingabout.
This reminds me of a popular adage, "There is no such thing as a free lunch." On the surface 'free' phone calls sounds like a good deal but one doesn't think of the actual cost. This can be applied to the many free things we enjoy on the internet today but is it truly free.
his reminds me a lot of Peterson’s writing piece. Would I feel this way if I did not get that praise in a grade? I think it inspired me to write better.
Interesting-- good question, what kind of impact did praise have on your views of writing.
The bourgeoisie, historically, has played a most revolutionary part.
Throughout this reading of the Communist Manifesto, it became more apparent to me that the bourgeoisie have unknowingly designed their own demise. It reminds me of one of Marx's more famous quotes from the manifesto: the bourgeoisie have become their own gravediggers.
21.2 percent of US national income accrued to just I percent of earners. Contrast 1968, when the CEO of General Motors took home, in pay and benefits, about sixty-six times the amount paid to a typical GM worker.
This kinda reminds me of the previous article about bullshit job, which points out that people who actually do more beneficial job get paid less. But I wonder what the world will be like without these bullshit jobs?
in the current situation,not inly is the viibiliry of any particular medium suspect, b1t thal estheticexperience itself has been rendered doubtful.

stylish paintings, paindngs rhat willlook good in the most elegant of rooms. His choice of color is brilliant-pale, stained fields, highlighted with bright, contrasting lines and areas ofpaint. A look of high fashion.
There are many mentions of style/fashion here, and about acceptance of the bourgeoisie as both subject matter and the works themselves. This reminds me of what we discussed last class about Warhol, his work is produced (screen printed) rather than painted, making fine art into an industry rather than something for the higher class. The work becomes more materialized, but also more accessible. Of course, this part is discussing the work of David Salle, who uses the fashionability of his style to bring attention to his imagery.
worked extensively with a college student for well over ayear, increasing his capacity to remember digit strings (e.g., 982761093 . . .). Asexpected, at the outset he could remember only about seven numbers. Afterpractice, he could remember 70 or more; see Figure 3.1. How? Did he developa general skill analogous to strengthening a “mental muscle?” No, what hap-pened was that he learned to use his specific background knowledge to “chunk”information into meaningful groups.
This reminds me a lot of Elaboration from last week's reading. It's as though we assign a meaningful idea to a string of numbers, a skill, or a bit of information to help commit it to memory. This helps me remember things, so it is no surprise to me that it helps others, even transitioning from almost 40 years ago to now, in the age of technology. In middle school, I participated in a study which included a test like this, without the practice, and I remember being above average, but I distinctly remember that after the results were published, that the average was about seven.
Out of the gray hills
The word gray in this sentence sort of sets a dark tone for whats to come. It lets the reader know that there is an injustice occurring which is causing this dark and gloomy setting. It reminds me of a day like today in SF, dark, rainy and not exactly cheery.
To solve wicked problems, we need to merge our minds.
This reminds me of the cluster projects that we are working on.
Where are we going?
The title reminds me of the Joyce Carol Oates short story, "Where are you going, where have you been."
The comely beauty of youth had faded away entirely; she was, as I have said, homely-looking, plain-featured, but with a clean skin, and pleasant frank eyes. Her figure was no longer round, but tidily draped in a blue and white bed-gown, tied round her waist by her white apron-strings, and her short red linsey petticoat showed her tidy feet and ankles. Her former lover fell into no ecstasies. He simply said to himself, ‘She’ll do’; and forthwith began upon his business.
This piece of text stood out to me (perhaps because Charles Dickens was in my head as the introduction stated he was the editor of the magazine which "The Ghost in the Garden Room" was published) because it reminds of Great Expectations when Pip returns to Satis House and he sees that Estella's beauty had faded away. Further, Pip learns that Estella's true father was Magwitch, a criminal- and yet at the beginning of the novel, Pip was deemed unfit for Estella because he was not from the same cut of the cloth as Estella, when in fact, her situation may have actually been worse. I find this twist at the beginning of the piece to kind of work in tandem here. Nathan Huntroyd fancied Hester in his early life, but her father did not find him to be an acceptable suitor because he was not of wealth. However, now that Hester and her family have found themselves in a state of poverty, the power roles switch. Hester has lost her beauty and has become a working woman. Hester has hit a low in her life where now, Nathan who has come into money, can quite literally choose to be with her. When he saw her, he did not feel glee or fall into a state of "ecstasies" but rather, is simply satisfied that he can now have the woman he wanted by choice this time, and have her as both wife and maid. His exclamation of "she'll do" is a form of power reversal. Where Hester's father had the power over Nathan to reject him as a suitor for Hester, Nathan now has the power to examine her, determine she is not the best, she has lost her beauty, but "she'll do" for what she is (a woman who can be a wife) and what she is capable of (being a maid).
"their duty to bow out"
This is sad. The whole piece reminds me of the CNN piece about the kid who lowered his insulin intake to help his parents save money,
Identifying emotions Accurate self-perception Recognizing strengths Self-confidence Self-efficacy
I could see how all of these could be helpful for college students, particularly for low income students. Low income students tend to have lower senses of self-efficacy academically. The recognition (and knowledge of) one's strengths also reminds me of the narrative based coaching and the asset vs deficit based thinking model that many use in higher ed.
The ability to accurately assess one’s strengths and limitations, with a well-grounded sense of confidence, optimism, and a “growth mindset.”
This reminds me of an article in Inside Higher Ed from this past summer about first generation college students. It stated that first generation college students, despite common misconceptions, are not less likely to succeed just on the basis of being first gen. However, they are less likely to have support networks and helpful connections in place, as well as less confidence in their own persistence. I didn't realize how important self-awareness was to developing a growth mindset and accurately understanding your own strengths/limitations.
enhances students’ capacity to integrate skills, attitudes, and behaviors to deal effectively and ethically with daily tasks and challenges
Reminds me of that video that was on the "What is SEL?" page -- it mentioned that emotions inform attention, which informs learning. I think this connects to our roles as coaches, as well as to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. If basic needs aren't being met, we can't expect our students to perform well academically, which is why we try to identify barriers early and often.
self-evident truths by careful division,
This reminds me of Siegert's notion of creating barriers and categories ("cuts").
Of the Standard of Taste"
This reminds me of C.S. Lewis "The Taste of the Other" https://www.amazon.com/Taste-Other-Social-Ethical-Thought/dp/1573832685

Apart . Beowulf reminds me of a good hero in most story's of how he i slaying the demons and of his past of how he was raised. His fighting and always with a group or sometimes alone. it was a good reading and somewhat different in the movie.
.
This story was way easier for me to understand than the last one and I actually liked it a lot. Beowulf reminds me of that genuinely good dude in a movie that you really want to hate because he seems too perfect but then you realize he's actually pretty dang cool and you have to admire him. He's a prime example of a heroic and adventurous character.
A common language needs to be developed and, more importantly, a recognition from both groups of the mutual advantages of sharing their knowledge.
I recently read an article, and for the life of me, I cannot find it. I will post it when I do. In the article it discussed the importance of being open minded while having a conversation. In order to communicate, one must be willing to challenge their beliefs and potentially change how they think and see the world. It also states how difficult and uncomfortable this task is for people, This statement regarding that both groups needs to recognize the other's strengths reminds me of the article. Both groups are so set it their ways, but they truly do need to overcome their discomfort for the greater good.
Such technological advances call into question the wisdom of our scientific advances, raising issues related to machine control and the ethical manipulation of humans.
This reminds me of the question: Just because you can does that mean you should? Humanities is a field where questioning the impact of a given action is considered almost before the action itself has been decided, alternate to stem which often is driven by progress for the sake of progress.
the need for diverse understandings of knowledge making
Reminds me of the call Juell Towns made at #OpenConCascadia19 made that full inclusion requires not just attention to physical appearances and cultural backgrounds, but also to different ways of knowing.
My error—and the error of the department that hired me—was to see these students as “disadvantaged” instead of seeing their brilliance.
This concept of seeing students as disadvantage instead of seeing their brilliance reminds me of the great quote by Albert Einstein, "Everybody is genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing it is stupid."

This award reminds me of a participation trophy
Some stories are more sophisticated as they only show us one part of the circle or they rearrange the order; they play with the formula a bit. Audiences love this; these stories tend to win awards. A series for example, shows us only bits of the circle at a time until eventually it all comes together as a whole - but still, a circle. The audience knows the circle so well, we complete it before the storyteller is finished. We anticipate what's going to happen; we know where things are headed and we guess how the story is going to end. We know the circle. We are all too familiar with the pattern. It's the details, the style and the characters that fascinate the audience.
Reading this section reminds me of the saying "coming to a full circle". I imagine this path that I am right now and it made have started out straight but now my path is filled with curves, zig zags, etc but it eventually comes back to where it all started thus created a "circle". I don't know if that made any sense but when I close my eyes, I this crystal clear video of this circle path I'm on.
ingenious clocks, including what may have been one of the first alarm clocks in history
reminds me of davinci's "tinkerings", which the article later references that davinci looked at bruschenellis work
equitable access to those records by opening their doors to all audiences and working to remove any potential barriers to access.
reminds me of Three Identical Strangers, when they couldn't get access to the experiment's results, when they didn't know they were being studied without consent, and they were the subjects of the findings that were locked up, and they couldn't see them
collecting priorities and available resources?
reminds me of discussion in Medieval History class, what was kept in records, and what was their priority to keep in writing, to preserve, and transcribe and copy down for future versions. Tells us about the culture and interests and priorities of the people at the time
As demands on educators’time are many, requir-ing them to spend time on learning that seems less relevant to their immediate inter-ests or needs, which holds no flexibility to fit within their other priorities, or goesunrewarded by administrators would likely create (justified) resistance from their sideand be an unfair use of their labor.
Reminds me of a recent Twitter thread from @jessifer
“Do less with less” is my current mantra. Also, “Wear one hat.” And, “Do the work of one person.”
Ok so I just wrote a bunch of notes while reading along and here they are: “What has not been taken into account by this view, however is the social position of the older modernism… its passionate repudiation by an older Victorian and post-victorian bourgeoisie for whom its forms and ethos are received as being variously ugly, dissonant , etc.. “anti-social”” The anti social part of that sentence is what struck me the most. some people make art for sale and I would think a factor of contemporary art is instead of making art for a profit, contemporaries are making art for arts sake.
“Yet American postmodern culture is the internal and superstructural expression of a whole new wave of American military and economic domination throughout the world” I think this is just a dramatic metaphor but it reminds me of Jenny holzer’s exhibition that is in massmoca currently https://massmoca.org/jenny-holzer/
What is Sartrean irony page 5
The chart with Van Gogh and Warhol on either sides is also very confusing.
I also read, in the papers that came one day late from the mainland, thestory of Betty Lansdown Fouquet, a 26-year-old 1woman wiih faded blond hair who put her five-yearold daughter out to die on the center divider of Interstate 5 some miles south ofthe last Bakersfield exit. Thechild, whose fingers had to be pried loose from the Cyclone fence when she was rescued twelve hours later by the CaliforniaHighway Patrol, reported that she had run after the car carrying her mother and stepfather and brother and sister for "a long time."Certain of these images did not fit into any narrative I knew.
That is such a scary and troublesome story to read. I would probably not want to read a story like that. This story kind of reminds me of the Casey Anthony case from Florida.
prefer interlocutors with whom I totally and completely disagree, but who will own the passion of their convictions and translate those into discourse and action
They are those who accept their convictions and re-examine or re-evaluate and then even internalize the result that both sides agreed on. This reminds me of Sheldon Cooper in The Bigbang Theory that he always always withold his opinions to be true or superior than others'. And I think we shouldn't spend our energy and time on them who in the end see themselves as the naval of the universe.
The vicious raids of Grendel, His long and unrelenting feud, Nothing but war; how he would never Parley or make peace with any Dane Nor stop his death-dealing nor pay the death-price.
This reminds me of a TV show Vampire Diaries. It's silly but still a connection. In the show there is a character named Stephen that goes on rampaged with "no remorse" for the people he kills or hurts. This puts the image of him in my head when reading.
Instead, the teachers had visions of diverse groups of students vigorously discussing literature, science or math.
Reminds me of Matt Kay's approach to teaching. https://www.stenhouse.com/content/not-light-fire
If you were really blessed when a relative died
reminds me of A Raisin in the Sun Play
There is even an ominous sense of imprisonment: one must literally put ideas into cell blocks.
In all honesty, this is definitely how I feel about working in spreadsheets. It seems like a compact container for ideas, and oftentimes it does not necessarily look visually pleasing to the eye. But I do see where spreadsheets can come in handy! (Reminds me of my Research class!)
People’s abilities to retrieve relevant knowledge can vary from being“effortful” to “relatively effortless” (fluent) to “automatic”
This reminds me of the three types of students studying a foreign language. For some it requires a lot of effort to come up with a single word, which makes them frustrated and hate the language. The fluent speakers can take what they know and apply it to the questions being asked, and automatic speakers can speak the foreign language as well as their native language.
Knowledge-production
Reminds me of the Gorgias "craft" vs "knack" distinction. A craft continually pursues knowledge, whereas a knack simply imitates a craft and is mere routine.
feministpolitics of locations
This reminds me of an article I read on a feminist reading of Jekyll and Hyde where the buildings and doors were described as either feminine or masculine. "The baize red door" that stood between Hyde and the outside world was described as menstruation, therefore feminine. The male character taking an ax to it was seen as violence against a woman. That was the last time I had seen feminism and locations being grouped together, so this particular phrasing struck me.
The interplay between the present as actual and the presentas virtual spells the rhythms of subject formation.
Following their Foucault reference, this reminds me of his "Self Writing" piece. The self is formed through the physical, material act of writing -- "the present as actual" -- and the transmission of self across space and time through the letter -- "the present as virtual". The subject, then, emerges against the interplay of the material and the virtual.
alternative frame
Reminds me of Erving Goffman's frame analysis . A way in which to organize.
perform
reminds me of the Barad piece
he materialities of communication
This reminds me of Barad's focus on an apparatus, how the tools themselves -- "'the materialities of communication'" -- impact our understanding of reality in fundamental ways, actually changing how we understand the world -- the whole light is either a particle or a wave, depending on how you interact with it.
hat always entails constitutive exclusions and there-fore requisite questions of accountability
This part about accountability, tying back to the talk of feminism reminds me of feminist writer, Diane Purkiss's "A Holocaust of one's own." She talks a bit about these exclusions in that males (particularly scholars who talk about women/witchcraft) are doing women an injustice and adding to the oppression because they're not talking about it enough or aren't outraged enough. Bob Gummer, 2nd generation Holocaust survivor, said something similar in a speech he gave at UMSL this week. During the Holocaust, those who remained quiet about the atrocities of the death camps, were doing a great disservice to humanity, even if not directly involved. Exclusion happens in language and writing in all kinds of ways that we don't normally think about.
Such technological advances call into question the wisdom of our scientific advances, raising issues related to machine control and the ethical manipulation of humans.
I think that the humanities have been discussing questions such as these even before technology advanced to the point where such discussion became necessary. This bit actually reminds me of a line from Jurassic Park: "We were so concerned with if we could [engineer dinosaurs] that we never stopped to consider if we should." Science can get so wrapped up in innovation for innovation's sake that it doesn't stop to consider social implications.
virtuality/actuality and human/machine,
Reminds me of "World of Tomorrow"
short, eXistenZ does not render the human as an object that connects toother objects, but as an effect or moment of multiple “inhuman” connec-tions—connections that are always on their way elsewhere
Whoa. This reminds me of our readings that discussed how to "define" rhetoric--not as a thing in and of itself, but rather a meeting point of a variety of things, connecting, transforming, and then carrying on in new directions.
People are defined not only by their traits, preferences, interests,likes, and dislikes, but also by their friendships, social roles, family connections, and groupmemberships.
This reminds me of the saying, "Birds of a feather flock together".
People are defined not only by their traits, preferences, interests,likes, and dislikes, but also by their friendships, social roles, family connections, and groupmemberships.
This reminds me of the common saying, "birds of a feather flock together." People tend to think that you are who you hang around. Even if there are time when it may not necessarily be true, it is a way way of thinking that many people have.
in the forming phase, the members become oriented toward oneanother. In the storming phase, the group members find themselves in conflict, and somesolution is sought to improve the group environment. In the norming, phase standards forbehavior and roles develop that regulate behavior. In the performing, phase the group hasreached a point where it can work as a unit to achieve desired goals, and the adjourning phaseends the sequence of development; the group disbands.
This reminds me of the DC series Young Justice, which I watched recently with my boyfriend. In Season One, a small band of super kids (proteges of Batman, Aquaman, The Flash, Green Arrow, Superman [kind of, it's complicated], Martian Manhunter, etc) is formed by the Justice League to train upcoming supers. In Season One, we can observe all stages of group development except adjourning, which happens after Season Two, when most of the members graduate up to the Justice League or retire. As the group is forming, the young supers start getting to know a bit about each other and start to learn what they will be doing as a team. A lot of episodes revolve around storming, as Robin and Kid Flash fight over leadership and Superboy loses his temper with everyone on the team. Finally, an eye-opening experience that nearly resulted in the team's defeat helped calm the squabbling boys, and everyone on the team decided Aqualad, the most calm and mindful, should be the leader. Norming began here for the team. When a new member, Artemis, joined the team, she and Miss Martian butted heads, but soon became cohesive. Occasional drama resurfaced, but for the most part, the team had entered and remained in the performing stage by this point, and worked together to be a formidable force against the Justice League's enemies. There was much less friction between team members in this stage when other young supers joined the team or allied with it temporarily.
I have attached a link that briefly goes over the plot of each episode. Unfortunately, DC series do not offer episode viewing without a paid membership.

This idea was ultimately disturbing to me as it reminds of the ideology behind capital punishment and the slaughtering of martyrs, as well as in the event of the Holocaust. Which was wrong in so many ways, but this ideology allowed people to believe their actions were justifiable. It created monsters as people believed their happiness or goodness of the world was capable of being compromised by certain populations. Its scary to think how the same ideology used for "good" can be twisted in favor of seemingly dark ways. The divisions between population culture and ethnic groups created this sense of mankind's need to hold power over another; leading to the good of one being more important than the good of the other. When in reality all men are created equal in the most perfect sense.
an effective pro-vaccine campaign would confront them directly, over and over, for as long as it takes.
This reminds me of the CDC's highly effective anti-smoking ads in the past few years.
So, for example, if there was a program from a State that said we have a lot of old buildings in town, and we're going to -- we're going to reimburse for fire extinguishers for all of the old buildings, including the religious schools and all the schools. And they said, but if -- if you have a religious school and you use this fire extinguisher reimbursement, could they then be able to say now that you received that -- that public benefit, that safety benefit, you can no longer include any religion in those classrooms or in the schools?
I believe this example helps support the church's behalf. The way I read this, was if we government helps a church does this mean they can just say "you can not practice religion". This example well express the unfairness in that claim. It shows that just because help was given does not mean that, the government can control all aspects now. It reminds me of when someone does you a favor and then throws it in your face later - was it help or did it have motivate.
Learning How to Learn
This reminds me of a philosophy I try to enact in my tutoring especially: the best tutors are those who work themselves out of a job.
Shut your ears when sirens sing Tie armbands to your feet
This reminds me of the Odyssey as Odysseus fights the call of the sirens. He tells his crew to stuff their ears so that they cannot hear, but he is tied up to the boat as they pass by the sirens so that he can experience the sirens on his own. By holding back and not listening to the sirens, Sheldrake captures the idea that we should not cave to outside desires and focus on the child-like wonder that this song encourages.
There's no such thing as time to kill
This part almost reminds me of Peter Pan's Wonderland
digest
The reference here is physical, but it reminds me of a bibliographic digest as well: in its noun form it has meant "a collection of writings" since the 1550's. The verb form has meant to "assimilate" and to "separate, divide, and arrange" since the 14th century.
https://www.etymonline.com/word/Digest
In another of our readings there were comments about physical/sensual references to rhetoric. The written word has always been replete with corporeal allusions--law, in particular, relies on them heavily.
To write is thus to “show oneself,” to project oneself into view, to make one’s own face appear in the other’s presence
Reminds me of Sarte's "What is Literature" and how writing prose is a way for the individual to feel essential to the world.
The other is circular: the meditation precedes the notes which enable the rereading which in turn reinitiates the meditation.
This reminds me of what Muckelbauer says when explaining that rhetoric might not have a definition. In this case, if writing takes a circular form, rhetoric can also lead to circuitous thinking.
Now, then, let the written account stand for the eyes of our fellow ascetics, so that blushing at writing the same as if we were actually seen, we may never ponder evil.
This reminds me of Megan Boyle's liveblog, in which she posted all of the events of her life online as a way to force herself to get her life together. It didn't work, but it does speak to how public internet writing/posting (self writing) involves sharing aspects of our lives in order to construct an identity or prove something about ourselves to the outside world.

so he is prompted by another wise man.”
Reminds me of the motive mixing Lanham raved about.
As an element of self-training, writing has, to use an expression that one finds in Plutarch, an ethopoietic function: it is an agent of the transformation of truth into ethos.
This reminds me of Robert Yagelski's Writing as a Way of Being, where writing as the act, the experience, is what's valuable, not so much the product that results. The experience of writing allows a transformation of the writer.
Contem-porary art is most—why not all?—of the art that is being made now. Itcannot be subject to generalization and has overwhelmed art history; it issimply, totally contemporaneous. But this pluralist happymix is illusory.The question of contemporary art has, in fact, been insistently answeredmore narrowly
This reminds me of what we talked about in class when we were coming up with ideas of what makes us contemporary, we are all contemporary because we are of this moment.
A song along with a video is a great way to to teach ELL's academic vocabulary
This reminds me of labeling, or even using multiple intelligences to teach. The students are using their visual and audio sense to learn vocabulary from a new language and words are made easy to learn when an image follows.
Science has provided the swiftest communication between individuals; it has provided a record of ideas and has enabled man to manipulate and to make extracts from that record so that knowledge evolves and endures throughout the life of a race rather than that of an individual.
This passage reminds me of the cell phone and how convenient it has made our lives. I use mine to record ideas, take notes, set reminders, and make schedules, and it is all accessible within seconds right from my pocket.
Two centuries ago Leibnitz invented a calculating machine which embodied most of the essential features of recent keyboard devices, but it could not then come into use. The economics of the situation were against it: the labor involved in constructing it, before the days of mass production, exceeded the labor to be saved by its use, since all it could accomplish could be duplicated by sufficient use of pencil and paper. Moreover, it would have been subject to frequent breakdown, so that it could not have been depended upon; for at that time and long after, complexity and unreliability were synonymous.
Reminds me of the current struggle with things like quantum-computing and renewable energy. Their complexity and cost, in a capitalist economic system which values profit over all else, make it so that investing in technology which would improve over time or has the potential for greater uses down the line, just for the sake of improvement (or even for more pressing reasons) when their work can be replicated with existing technology no matter how laborious or harmful, is dis-incentivized.
intentionally take on projects your only partially qualified for.
This reminds me of the book Teaching What You Don't Know.
If the mother looks fearful or distressed, the infant is likely to respondwith wariness or distress because the mother’s expression signals danger
This reminds me of when people believe toddlers only worry because the mom worries. For example, if a toddler is playing and accidentally falls, they're sometimes more like to get right back up and keep playing until they see the moms reaction. Whenever the mom panics and rushes to concern, that is when the toddler begins to cry because they feel like that is the response they are supposed to have.
Childhood social and personality development emerges through the interaction of socialinfluences, biological maturation, and the child’s representations of the social world and theself. This interaction is illustrated in a discussion of the influence of significant relationships,the development of social understanding, the growth of personality, and the development ofsocial and emotional competence in childhood.
I remember learning about these emerges in developmental psychology taught by Dr. Snyder as well. We learned how each level of development changes and the individual becomes more vocal and about themselves instead of others. This reminds me of the saying, "it takes a village to raise a child" because each level of the ecosystem involves someone different helping the individuals develop more and learn more about the world around them.
Although nearly all infants developemotional attachments to their caregivers--parents, relatives, nannies-- their sense ofsecurity in those attachments varies.Infants become securely attached whentheir parents respond sensitively to them,reinforcing the infants’ confidence thattheir parents will provide support whenneeded. Infants become insecurely attachedwhen care is inconsistent or neglectful;these infants tend to respond avoidantly,resistantly, or in a disorganized manner(Belsky & Pasco Fearon, 2008).
This reminds me of when my niece and nephew were younger. They would get in trouble or something would happen to them and they would prefer to come to me instead of their mom. This was because I always babied them, I was always the nice person because they thought their mom was the bad person. Only because she would get onto them instead of me.
The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold, And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold.
I'm not sure if it was around the same time in history. but it reminds me of something the people in The Road to El Dorado would wear. Especially the gold.
What if we rode harder onthe performative, as Barad urges, seeing it as“material enactments that contribute to, andare a part of, the phenomena we describe.”19This ontological shift asks us to situate thehuman more complexly in the material world, and seek out fresh understandings ofhow it manifests in who we are and what we do.
This reminds me of Foucault's Self Writing.
There is a profound disorientation.
Immediately reminds me of Plato's "Allegory of the Cave."
We regularly, in the interests of Plato-worship, disembody language and reason, with the narrow-mindedness Mark Johnson points out in an important recent book, The Body in the Mindl3 Our persistent evasion of the "Q" question makes for a great deal of self-centered, self-serving preaching and a great deal of self-satisfied practice. We do sometimes follow that master of contemptuous, self-satisfied self-absorp-tion, the Platonic Socrates, closely indeed.
This reminds me of Albert Camus' thoughts on absurdity, and what James Cone says in his book Black Theology and Black Power: "All aspects of this society have participated in the act of enslaving blacks, extinguishing Indians, and annihilating all who question white society's right to decide who is human....Absurdity arises as the black man seeks to understand his place in the white world. The black man does not view himself as absurd; he views himself as human. But as he meets the white world and its values, he is confronted with an almighty No and is defined as a thing. This produces the absurdity."
he would extend this to "science" tout court-does not use value-free lan-guage, that value-free language does not exist, and that we cannot posit a purely transparent language devoid of distracting ornament, through which we transact business with pure facts.
This reminds me of an article I read in my Feminist Epistemologies class, "The Egg and the Sperm: How Science Has Constructed a Romance Based on Stereotypical Male-Female Roles," which shook me to my core. It argues that science and culture are intertwined and that they influence and reinforce one another. The scientific descriptions of egg, sperm, reproduction, and ovulation she provides to support her argument show how dangerous the perpetuation of the idea of "value-free" and/or unbiased language can be (and is).
Rhetoric is a cosmetic,
Does rhetoric serve as a mask or alter the appearance of certain rhetorical artifacts? This also reminds me of Goffman's Presentation of Self in Everyday Life
childhood whose playfulness can in turn be a blessing to society
This reminds me of C. S. Lewis' appreciation of the child. Lewis believed children should be taken seriously and there is much to learn from a child's perspective. These beliefs were reflected in his works.
We are better users of technology when we are thinking critically about the nature and effects of that technology. What we must do is work to encourage students and ourselves to think critically about new tools (and, more importantly, the tools we already use).
As I begin this semester with plans to use Hypothes.is and Google Docs in the classroom, to try something different to engage my students, include discussion from more students, and foster peer learning, I appreciate this quote. It reminds me to assess my use of this technology in class and ask students to assess it as well. I also want to be inclusive of students who don't want to sign up for these accounts, being concerned about their digital footprints and privacy issues, and think of other ways to engage my students.
Freire writes, “Authentic education is not carried on by ‘A’ for ‘B’ or by ‘A’ about ‘B,’ but rather by ‘A’ with ‘B’.”
This reminds me of my Association of College and University Educators' course module on discussions, which conveys that great discussions are about students fostering discussion with the teacher, as well as students fostering discussion with other students for peer learning.
Thus, the material — the product — of learning becomes the connections made manifest by the computer. We would go one step further to say that what is built inside this kind of learning are relationships, meaningful connections between learners.
reminds me of the connected learning framework, which also references Freire and the role of meaningful relationships (both in-person and digital) in learning
“As a classroom community, our capacity to generate excitement is deeply affected by our interest in one another, in hearing one another’s voices, in recognizing one another’s presence.”
I'm reading Joshua R. Eyler's excellent new book How Humans Learn, and this line from bell hooks reminds me of Eyler's discussion of pedagogical caring. Eyler includes Richard Hult Jr.'s distinction between caring "about" versus caring "for" a person. When we go beyond caring about something or someone, Eyler via Hult Jr explains, to care for that something or someone, we "'behav[e] with special skills to support or increase some condition of value in the cared for.'" I'm drawn to the idea that caring for someone means encouraging them to see and develop something they define as important. As an educator/educational technologist, the challenge then becomes moving from an interest in and care about another person to an interest for and care for that person.
A proper education is one that allows Nature to teach humans according to their nature.
This reminds me of the Forest Schools that are popping up in places.
random disappearance of resources or habitats will occur fre- quently in small sites but rarely, if ever, in large ones
Reminds me of the Single Large or Several Small/SLOSS debate on habitat patch size.
nonverbal signs that has enormous power,
Reminds me of "Pragmatics of Human communication" Jackson, Bavelas, Watzlawick
Linus Torvalds’s style of development – release early and o=en,
This reminds me of the prototyping principle in design thinking.
formationalism, and free labor described above.This argument builds on the actor-network theory, which contend
This sentence reminds me of how we want to understand science as something that can be biased and influenced by culture, the network is also influenced by societal elements around it.
Good grief, even the language in this thing is Soviet. If I disappear in the near future, please assume some milk-fed farm boys showed up at my house and insisted on removing me to the nearest re-education centre, all the better to expound upon the Greater Glory of Canadian Cream.
The writing throughout this article, but especially in this paragraph, is filled with satire. Reminds me of our in-class discussion about how satire can be used to inform and involve the public in political matters. In this context, the author's use of satire is used to persuade the reader about the "ridiculousness" of dairy supply management. Its use of language such as the recurring referral to the DFC as the "dairy cartel" certainly sets the tone and a sense of urgency to the reader about the matter.
Derek Boogaard increasingly wanted more pills. He became adept at getting them.
This reminds me of my nonfiction book. My book centers around a father struggling with his son's addiction, and there are very similar threads in each of these stories. John Branch shows how crafty addicts are in ensuring that they are able to obtain and continue to obtain their drugs.
Again and again, he told me, he has asked other researchers for feedback and received either excuses of busyness or no reply at all.
It's funny that this is what most of the scientific community does to him. Not like ha ha funny, like huh. okay. Reminds me of some people I have known.
BOOK 7 THE ARGUMENT Raphael at the request of Adam relates how and wherefore this world was first created; that God, after the expelling of Satan and his Angels out of Heaven, declar'd his pleasure to create another World and other Creatures to dwell therein; sends his Son with Glory and attendance of Angels to perform the work of Creation in six dayes: the Angels celebrate with Hymns the performance thereof, and his reascention into Heaven. DEscend from Heav'n Urania, by that name If rightly thou art call'd, whose Voice divine Following, above th' Olympian Hill I soare, Above the flight of Pegasean wing. The meaning, not the Name I call: for thou [ 5 ] Nor of the Muses nine, nor on the top Of old Olympus dwell'st, but Heav'nlie borne, Before the Hills appeerd, or Fountain flow'd, Thou with Eternal Wisdom didst converse, Wisdom thy Sister, and with her didst play [ 10 ] In presence of th' Almightie Father, pleas'd With thy Celestial Song. Up led by thee Into the Heav'n of Heav'ns I have presum'd, An Earthlie Guest, and drawn Empyreal Aire, Thy tempring; with like safetie guided down [ 15 ] Return me to my Native Element: Least from this flying Steed unrein'd, (as once Bellerophon, though from a lower Clime) Dismounted, on th' Aleian Field I fall Erroneous there to wander and forlorne. [ 20 ] Half yet remaines unsung, but narrower bound Within the visible Diurnal Spheare; Standing on Earth, not rapt above the Pole, More safe I Sing with mortal voice, unchang'd To hoarce or mute, though fall'n on evil dayes, [ 25 ] On evil dayes though fall'n, and evil tongues; In darkness, and with dangers compast round, And solitude; yet not alone, while thou Visit'st my slumbers Nightly, or when Morn Purples the East: still govern thou my Song, [ 30 ] Urania, and fit audience find, though few. But drive farr off the barbarous dissonance Of Bacchus and his Revellers, the Race Of that wilde Rout that tore the Thracian Bard In Rhodope, where Woods and Rocks had Eares [ 35 ] To rapture, till the savage clamor dround Both Harp and Voice; nor could the Muse defend Her Son. So fail not thou, who thee implores: For thou art Heav'nlie, shee an empty dreame. Say Goddess, what ensu'd when Raphael, [ 40 ] The affable Arch-Angel, had forewarn'd Adam by dire example to beware Apostasie, by what befell in Heaven To those Apostates, least the like befall In Paradise to Adam or his Race, [ 45 ] Charg'd not to touch the interdicted Tree, If they transgress, and slight that sole command, So easily obeyd amid the choice Of all tastes else to please thir appetite, Though wandring. He with his consorted Eve [ 50 ] The storie heard attentive, and was fill'd With admiration, and deep Muse to heare Of things so high and strange, things to thir thought So unimaginable as hate in Heav'n, And Warr so neer the Peace of God in bliss [ 55 ] With such confusion: but the evil soon Driv'n back redounded as a flood on those From whom it sprung, impossible to mix With Blessedness. Whence Adam soon repeal'd The doubts that in his heart arose: and now [ 60 ] Led on, yet sinless, with desire to know What neerer might concern him, how this World Of Heav'n and Earth conspicious first began, When, and whereof created, for what cause, What within Eden or without was done [ 65 ] Before his memorie, as one whose drouth Yet scarce allay'd still eyes the current streame, Whose liquid murmur heard new thirst excites, Proceeded thus to ask his Heav'nly Guest. Great things, and full of wonder in our eares, [ 70 ] Farr differing from this World, thou hast reveal'd Divine interpreter, by favour sent Down from the Empyrean to forewarne Us timely of what might else have bin our loss, Unknown, which human knowledg could not reach: [ 75 ] For which to the infinitly Good we owe Immortal thanks, and his admonishment Receave with solemne purpose to observe Immutably his sovran will, the end Of what we are. But since thou hast voutsaf't [ 80 ] Gently for our instruction to impart Things above Earthly thought, which yet concernd Our knowing, as to highest wisdom seemd, Deign to descend now lower, and relate What may no less perhaps availe us known, [ 85 ] How first began this Heav'n which we behold Distant so high, with moving Fires adornd Innumerable, and this which yeelds or fills All space, the ambient Aire, wide interfus'd Imbracing round this florid Earth, what cause [ 90 ] Mov'd the Creator in his holy Rest Through all Eternitie so late to build In Chaos, and the work begun, how soon Absolv'd, if unforbid thou maist unfould What wee, not to explore the secrets aske [ 95 ] Of his Eternal Empire, but the more To magnifie his works, the more we know. And the great Light of Day yet wants to run Much of his Race though steep, suspens in Heav'n Held by thy voice, thy potent voice he heares, [ 100 ] And longer will delay to heare thee tell His Generation, and the rising Birth Of Nature from the unapparent Deep: Or if the Starr of Eevning and the Moon Haste to thy audience, Night with her will bring [ 105 ] Silence, and Sleep listning to thee will watch, Or we can bid his absence, till thy Song End, and dismiss thee ere the Morning shine. Thus Adam his illustrious Guest besought: And thus the Godlike Angel answerd milde. [ 110 ] This also thy request with caution askt Obtaine: though to recount Almightie works What words or tongue of Seraph can suffice, Or heart of man suffice to comprehend? Yet what thou canst attain, which best may serve [ 115 ] To glorifie the Maker, and inferr Thee also happier, shall not be withheld Thy hearing, such Commission from above I have receav'd, to answer thy desire Of knowledge within bounds; beyond abstain [ 120 ] To ask, nor let thine own inventions hope Things not reveal'd,
This also reminds me of the ancient Greek priests at the various temples. They were to keep their knowledge "mysterious," which translates roughly to "secret," but that root too is from "muo" which meant "closed mouth." Only the initiated priests of Ancient Greece were allowed the knowledge of the various sects and this "mysterion" stratified the society. I would say the angels and humans too are stratified in Milton's story in much the same way. The interesting thing is Raphael says Adam can't understand some things, but if he can't understand them then why not satisfy his curiosity? I would say it's the mystery itself that keeps the power structure the way it is. If angels knew as much as God, then how would they differ? And if humans knew as much as angels, then how would THEY differ? This is what makes knowledge so alluring and powerful. The power itself is from the mystery of the unknown.
On the fifth day I laid out her exterior. It was a field in area, its walls were each 10 times 12 cubits in height, the sides of its top were of equal length, 10 times It cubits each. I laid out its (interior) structure and drew a picture of it (?).
This section of the story reminds me a lot of Noah's ark. I even looked up that story because I remembered the term cubits.
Social media has turned any individual into a broadcaster, and allowed people to hear only the news, facts, and opinions they want to hear. This in turn has expanded the reach of radical and fringe ideas and conspiracy theories.
Also known as the "echo chamber" effect. This reminds me of the divisive problem that is prevalent in the United States where the left and right are so isolated. In theory, social media can be a place where these polarizing opinions can be discussed and negotiated, but I think it can actually have the opposite effect where certain interest groups within these platforms tend to stick to themselves, thus reinforcing their own opinions and ideologies. In the instance of Twitter, the people you choose to follow directly determines what shows up in your timeline.
shared facts.
This reminds me of issues surrounding converging media systems, in which large conglomerates will own many newspapers at the same time. This leads to a filtering down of the news, creating shared conversations based on the same biases
allowed people to hear only the news, facts, and opinions they want to hear.
This reminds me of a statement from Alboim's text, which I found powerful to the current context of social media and democracy: "If you don’t know what you don’t know and are unwilling to delegate others to tell you, you begin to narrow your universe to one driven by your preconceived interests (51)."
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ* has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.
This reminds me of the conversation Jesus had with Nicodemus, and the second half, the "everyone who loves the parent loves the child" reminds me of Jesus' words, "Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? (John 14:9 )"
Each of the alternative options for social security reform thatwe dis-cuss combines the existing pay-as-you-go system with a new system ofpersonal retirement accounts (PRAs)
this reminds me of the other big paper i am combing through but it advocates for a combination of pay-as-you-go with a PRA
Do you articulate your own social and intellectual position, from which you speak when lecturing?
This reminds me of Dariotis' CEETL talk on 'Positional Pedagogy' that a few of us attended last semester...
A village scoring 1.5 and another scoring 1.49 would be almost equally insecure.
This reminds me of an anecdote from Vietnam. A platoon was ordered to repeatedly bomb an empty village when the correct village was nearby.
For Spirits when they pleaseCan either Sex assume, or both; so softAnd uncompounded is thir Essence pure, [ 425 ]Not ti'd or manacl'd with joynt or limb,Nor founded on the brittle strength of bones,Like cumbrous flesh; but in what shape they chooseDilated or condens't, bright or obscure,Can execute thir aerie purposes, [ 430 ]
This reminds me of Silmarillion by Tolkien, where beings similar to angels also have no predetermined gender.
The paragraph makes me realize the idea that don’t be afraid to change and break the stereotype because the happiness comes with the old recipe might not be the happiness we are searching. The idea of “question” also reminds me of what I had learned in my Courage to Know class that we all should choose our own ways and what life means to us instead of blindly following the “tradition” and doing things that “seemed right.”
Before I revise this paragraph, I only wrote what Solnit said in her essay "The Mother of All Questions." I was summarizing Solnit's ideas. However, the purpose of this short essay is to respond to Solnit's essay, not summarizing. I realized this problem. Then, I added my response to Solnit's ideas, and comment and analyze Solnit's idea of not following the others' paths. One thing I learned from this class is to write my response and opinion, which will be very helpful for my writing in the future.
In her essay, Rebecca Solnit is trying to explain why women do not need to answer the question of why they do not have children. She uses many materials and sources to back up her argument. Her way of argument reminds me of Socrates’s midwifery. She first analyzes what assumptions are behind the question and invites her readers to look at them from a different point of view. When confronting insensitive and unreflective questions, she does not react quickly and directly but chooses to make people to think for themselves and reach their own conclusion.
I explain what her essay is about and what is unique in her essay in the first paragraph. I focus on her way of argument because that makes her writing persuasive.
The Knowledge Base
Reminds me of the London cabbies' internal map of the city called "The Knowledge". Now all we need are some maps for how to use this. As the buzzologists say--to actualize this.
Metalogue' Ahout Games and Being Serinus
This whole read really reminds me of Wittengenstein, who says that all language is a barrier and a futile device that we are forced to use in order to interact with others. Throughout the article many moments occur where the translation of ideas from the father to the daughter is obscured by language and words.
(and what we have left out)
reminds me of the paul revere article
FOUNDATION 17 .. His name is no1hing.
reminds me of becoming null
They were cleaning out his room, taking away from him everything he cherished; they had already dragged out the chest of drawers in which the fret saw and other tools were kept, and they were now loosening the writing desk which was fixed tight to the floor, the desk on which he, as a business student, a school student, indeed even as an elementary school student, had written out his assignments.
Aden’s commentary for this piece of The Metamorphosis had shown the incredible value that Gregor had in the objects of his bedroom. She had specifically pointed out the feeling of being ripped from humanity that Gregor felt seeing that his sister and his mother was doing. From this strong emotions, Aden had concluded that Gregor had never became a vermin and his sense of individuality is still there. This reminds me a lot of the discussion that we had in class where we had to debate if Gregor was human or not. It showed me another sense of value that Gregor had that was not said during the discussion, which was the clinging onto the past. This human characteristic is so pronounced during the times that Gregor metamorphosed into the cockroach which made him more human than the vermin. But, one thing I would add on is that in the beginning of the novel, Gregor admits that he had relentlessly worked at his job to help his family survive in society. Never really interacting with his family, only knowing that the money that he got from his job will show his love for them. It was only when he turned into a humongous cockroach that he started to notice tiny things that he had emotional attachment with. Even if he has these emotions, his whole life was based on survival and the endless searching for stability that he couldn’t obtain. Through that, he acts more like a vermin than a human who lives for the idea of surviving, and in Gregor’s case, in this cruel society.
But for now I am a willing prisoner in this house, a sympathizer with the anarchic cause of snow. I will make a pot of tea and listen to the plastic radio on the counter, as glad as anyone to hear the news that the Kiddie Corner School is closed,
This reminds me of whenever school got cancelled or my mom let me stay home and not go to school. I was not complaining, but I was happy to not have to attend school because of the weather or whatever reason. I wasn't a prisoner, but i understand because there's not much anyone can do outdoors when its snowing. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjDhsWL15bfAhVtJDQIHdnGDEsQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.someecards.com%2Fusercards%2Fviewcard%2Fits-awesome-being-too-broke-to-leave-the-house-and-stuck-at-home-with-kids-for-three-months-of-summer-vacation-094d4%2F%3FtagSlug%3Dfamily&psig=AOvVaw3mbI5VQkW0_Ba7gxYFPEd3&ust=1544579999049823
These changes in migration patterns started to be used by some nationalist groups to stoke a fear of a “peaceful invasion” of Haitians.
These innocent haitian people were just looking for a home and some work. This reminds me of whats going on today with Trump and immigrants.
me, writing is like breathing. I need it to survive.
This reminds me of Diane Waff's piece centered around Adrienne Rich's poem, " You must write, and read, as if your life depended on it.https://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/resource/540
will probably become not merely post-religious but anti-religious, bringing more conflict to Muslim societies and deepening the crisis of Islam.
Reminds me of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who is surprisingly taken as a sort of "spokesperson" for islam despite being an apostate.
just served to intensify their doubts.”
This reminds me of identity crisis developing in American muslim teenagers, or even Muslims in other societies when they are unable to combine their identities as Muslims with other identities.
So the secretary to the president of the company, this elderly lady about seventy-two years old, drew up a petition, and no one saw what she wrote on the petition. She just had the petition, and she went around wanting everybody to sign the petition, but basically what it was about was that she was going to do a letter and send it to President Richard Nixon and tell him what a wonderful job he was doing. There was seventy people in that office. I was the only one who would not sign that petition. I never gave it a second thought. She came to me and she says, “Will you sign this petition?”I says, “No.” I went back to my work.Then the next day, she came back and she says, “Are you going to sign this petition?” And she started getting on my case about this petition.And I said, “No, I don’t want to sign this petition, because I don’t think we should be in Vietnam.” She made these very unpleasant comments about me, said I was unpatriotic, ungrateful. I said, “Let me tell you something. All of a sudden, you’re the expert on the war in Vietnam, yet when I was over there, no one knew what was going on, but yet you know all about what was going on. I do not want to sign your petition. I fought for the right to say no.
Although it isn't directly related to my paper about Studio 54, I find this section valuable in its own right as a case describing the freedom of choice and freedom of speech that was so abundant at this time. It reminds me of a quote, "“It’s not unpatriotic to denounce an injustice committed on our behalf, perhaps it’s the most patriotic thing we can do.” There is value in speaking out about your beliefs and that is exactly what Rollerena did throughout her time in NYC
though it found me suffering under a more severe attack than usual of my old grievance, spasmodic bile, and hardly able to crawl from my bed to the sofa
Diana's seems to be a bit exaggerated in her account which reminds me of Mary's letters of her "illness" to Anne in Persuasion and hypochondriac Mr. Woodhouse in Emma.
seen romantically situated among wood on a high eminence at some little distance
This description of a cottage reminds me of the contrast in Austen's Sense and Sensibility between how the upper classes and the landed gentry view cottages. The upper classes view cottages in a romantic way as cute, comfy homes, however the landed gentry know that cottages result out of a neccesity brough on by an oppresive and restrictive economic system.
