Through the long night until the silver break Of day the little gray feet know no rest;
Reminds me of one of Langston Hughes's "blues" poems.
Through the long night until the silver break Of day the little gray feet know no rest;
Reminds me of one of Langston Hughes's "blues" poems.
I shall return, I shall return again, To ease my mind of long, long years of pain.
Here we see the low-down folk again and this time we see him strong and with the determination to "return again." White supremacy will not stop him from thriving. This poem reminds me of Brown's "Strong Men" since the speaker states that they cannot stop strong men from getting stronger.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state, I stand within her walls with not a shred Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
This reminds me of Sterling Brown's "Strong Men" in which both poems discuss prejudice and struggle but there is a layer of hopefulness and resilience throughout the pieces.
I shall return, I shall return again, To ease my mind of long, long years of pain
This poem reminds me of Hughe's "I, Too, Sing America". It has the same sort of prophetic announcement, the forecast of a more positive nearby future.
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood, Giving me strength erect against her hate,
This poem reminds me of Langston Hughes's " I, too, sing America". There is a quiet intensity and patience to both poems.
I shall return, I shall return again, To ease my mind of long, long years of pain.
There is a rhythm to the poem that is reminiscent of music. This reminds me of the blues that Brown and Hughes incorporate into their work.
I’ll borrow a way of speaking from John Searle and sometimes put this ques-tion as: ‘Is it thoughts or sentences that have ‘content in the first instance’ orthat have ‘underived’ content’?
oo this reminds me of when we talked about whether thinking is talking to ourselves or not. Interesting to see what Fodor says here, when thinking about it I kind think in images and kind of semi arguments, however I don't articulate the entirety of my thoughts into words (that would be exhausting) so I'd be inclined to say there's a little bit of both or that language is so ingrained in our heads that we instantaneously translate ideas and their impressions (hume definitions) into language
articipatory archive assumes no consensus on order, no first order oforder (Weinberger2007, pp. 17–19), just the necessity of keeping information findable.
This goal kind of reminds me of MPLP.
“There, these will be large enough,” said Cassy. “Now put on your bonnet, and let’s start; it’s just about the right time.”
Cassy is relentless , won't stop reminds me of "The Raven"
For not only must the black man be black; he must be black in relation to the white man
This reminds me of some of Garrett's ideas for his research essay focus.....what does everyone think about this juxtaposition (yes, Fanon is using the RSM of juxtaposition to talk about the juxtaposition of black and white in western society)
Lotus-
This reminds me of the Lotus flower in Percy Jackson. in that movie the Lotus flower was used to incapacitate people for a long period of time. So i predict something troubling will happen next.
outcast
It is interesting to me that almost all stories have a bad guy to them. But this reminds me of the song outcast just because I can really relate to it when I moved out of Sterling.
This reminds of a really bad storm especially being out in the sea and being a cruise during a bad storm so no fun so I can not even imagine what it would be like for nine days. Also, it reminds me of those two days that Sterling had that really bad wind.
you lose sight of beauty by being so practical
This reminds me of Ruth's conversation with her mother about Martin. At that time, she said "No one ever loved me before . . . and it is sweet to be loved - that way." Still, she continues to talk about how ineligible Martin is to be her husband. She needs someone who more suitably fits within her social class. It seems a little hypocritical that Ruth will scorn his realism in literature, but forgoes loving Martin solely on the grounds of practicality. Martin "destroys beauty" by seeing the world through practical eyes, but Ruth gives up a genuine love for doing the same thing. This only scratches the surface of the complexity of Ruth's character. Her desires do not always align with those expected of her social class; however, when she acts on them (for example, when she comes to see the way Martin is living), she is both intrigued and repulsed. Ruth can easily critique Martin Eden from a distance, but perhaps she is not so different from him after all.
Later in the novel when Martin is "successful," Ruth returns to try to continue their romance. Has she finally succumbed to her heart's true desires? Unfortunately, it is clear to Martin that she has returned only because of the wealth, fame, and social status he has earned. In the moment where Martin can finally have what his heart has been wanting, he becomes the realistic one instead, and actually rejects her. Ruth's bravery doesn't seem able to exist without a little bit of logical justification. She could not marry Martin as he was before, but when he is richer version of himself, suddenly it is okay. Ruth evolves into someone who can assess her desires and act on them a little better than before, but she is not totally free of the social restraints that bind her.
He began to doubt that editors were real men. They seemed cogs in a machine.
This sentence reminds me of a cover of The New Yorker. On this particular cover, men in suits are walking lifelessly, their faces staring straight ahead, unaware that they'll soon be walking of the edge of a cliff. Martin has no face or voice to put to the rejection letters he keeps receiving, which makes the editors seem unreal - perhaps like robots. Martin makes it clear that his stories are full of life, bursting with passion, and impossible to resist. For these editors to reject his work so easily makes them seem like a different species. How can they be so unaffected by these tales while Martin is overly exited about the same ones?
The way Ruth reacts to Martin's work is similarly mechanical. She has grown up studying a particular type of literature and conforming to a certain set of ideals. All of her feedback to Martin's work is in regard to how it conforms to the cultural archetype she is used to. His ideas may genuinely be good, but Ruth has been bred to only accept clean, "safe" ideas and stories. The reader can predict Ruth's reactions to his work before she even responds because of the way she systematically rejects what is different.
“It was confused,” she answered. “That is my only criticism in the large way. I followed the story, but there seemed so much else. It is too wordy. You clog the action by introducing so much extraneous material.”
Ruth's comments reveal a few larger divides between herself and Martin and the classes into which they were born. First is a matter of semantics, something curiously important to Ruth in her critiques of Martin's work, etiquette, and especially his speech. She calls his work "confused" instead of confusing which, for anybody else, may be inconsequential as it is not incorrect... but she attributes agency to the literature, itself (AND in the past tense). In doing so, is she passing the blame of confusion onto the literature instead of recognizing her own inability to understand? The combination of deflected blame, tense and agency confusion, and an inability to grasp the meaning of Martin's work as an error of the art, scream hypocrisy, something that the following lines reveal even more. Ruth next claims that the essay's confusion is her sole "criticism in the large way." Don't we feel like she would follow this with specific critiques? Otherwise, why mention the "large way?" Her critique is vague and, in turn, useless. Moreover, it feels untrue: since when does she care about the clarity of "action," especially the type familiar to Martin? Doesn't it make her uncomfortable? And the idea of "extraneous material" reminds the audience of what really is extraneous, unrelated, or unnecessary. It begs the question: does Ruth really know what "extraneous" means? If it is a confusing work, would she really be able to tease out that which is relevant and that which is extraneous. It reminds me of the closing scene between Martin and Ruth when she tells him it is "unnecessary" to walk her home (Ch. XLV), yet she is recently out of danger and trembling with fear. Though it feels like a normal, situational comment to protect one's pride in a dispute of the heart, there is enough evidence throughout to show that, despite Ruth's assertions about what is extraneous or unnecessary, she knows neither.
Danielle Bregoli and her “cash me ousside” meme is less about the simplicity of a funny inside joke; Instead, it reminds us of how white girls who refuse to fit their narrowly prescribed narratives are used for humiliating entertainment
IMPORTANT
Pg 88- need to connect evidence with values. This reminds me of my work this semester-- I have had ideas/thoughts about dystopias and I had to remember to back everything up with evidence
He might have been my brother. After a while, I guess I realized that he was my brother
Reminds me of Viktor Frankl and Personalism, "Seeing everyone as another I." Here's a link about it, it was a very big philosophy with Pope John Paul II.
e. Particularly, with Corder's later point, it reminds me of Frankl's experience meeting with a fellow concentration camp survivor, this one being a survivor of the Soviet Gulag, telling him about a fellow prisoner who had been a leader, inspiration, and hero among them, and kept them alive. He names him, and his hero prisoner happened to be one of the guards from Frankl's camp, a particularly brutal one.
ow can we take that one chance I mentioned just now and learn to change when change is to be cherished? How can we expect another to change when we are ourselves that other's contending narrative?
So much of this reading reminds me of Booth. How do we know when we should call for change? And how do we know that it is not us that should change?
o appreciate the “intricate rhetor-ical dance” strong research-based writing entails,
This reminds me of when I was studying the Great Gatsby in high school. One of the things that stood out to me was the abundant use of literary techniques in the book. I was able to appreciate it as a piece of literature more than other books. I try to appreciate the thought behind all my assignments.
“passed before his eyes.”
It reminds me of the saying, "as your life flashes before your eyes"
The basic vernacular architecture research method, however, is hardly revolutionary: it still requires gathering data, ordering and analyzing the data, and interpreting the data. Our chapters generally follow this sequence. First there is a definitional chapter that introduces the community- based conceptual model underlying our approach to vernacular architecture and vernacular architecture studies. The second chapter provides a brief exegesis of the investigatory techniques used in the field documentation of buildings and landscapes. Chapter 3 shows how both field and archival evidence may be organized into a set of analytical frameworks that help illuminate patterns (or the absence of patterns) of behavior. In chapter 4 we give examples of how various practitioners in the discipline have interpreted buildings and landscapes. And in chapter 5 we end by returning to the house on Richmond Avenue for a quick review of how the ideas contained in this book can be applied to a specific example of architecture. Also provided is a bibliographic survey of sources, which, along with the information contained in the footnotes, should help you move into the material on your own.
This chapter by chapter research procedure reminds me of the scientific method, which is used to characterize natural phenomena in science. I use the scientific method as a reference to easily memorize the steps to studying buildings. Listed below, the scientific method requires 5 steps: make an observation, brainstorm a question, form a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, and evaluate the information/draw a final conclusion.

morning
This little saying reminds me of a lot of wild animals because a lot of them come out at night and hide during the day
Cupid
This story reminds me of my grandfather. He would do anything for me and my children, just as Cupid did for Psyche in saving her life after she hurt him, my grandfather has done the same for me, but I could not return the favor when he died.
him very sad
This reminds me of my dad because if he could not get something for my sister and I it bothered him.
journey
This reminds me of the hero's journey. I wonder what things will happen to them? What tests and trials will the characters face?
Be kind and courteous to this gentleman;Hop in his walks and gambol in his eyes;Feed him with apricocks and dewberries,With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries;The honey-bags steal from the humble-bees,And for night-tapers crop their waxen thighsAnd light them at the fiery glow-worm's eyes,To have my love to bed and to arise;And pluck the wings from Painted butterfliesTo fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes:Nod to him, elves, and do him courtesies.
I find the relationship between Titania and Bottom to be an interesting one. She is obviously infatuated with him romantically because of her allusions to him "arising". But there are some other aspects that are alluded to. The first is that Titania is in love with an ass. Both because of Bottom's head, and his literal name. We now see a relationship of bestiality. This form of humor by Shakespeare reminds me a lot of what Deadpool did, make the viewer laugh by shocking them and being offensive. The second angle of this relationship is the fact that Titania is royal, and Bottom is a common person. Titania is the Queen of the Fairies and Bottom is a simple weaver. We've been discussing in class a lot about those social boundaries that existed in Shakespeare's time. This certainly would have been pushing that line. I found this site that talks briefly about this relationship, but also specifically about the character of Bottom. http://www.shmoop.com/midsummer-nights-dream/bottom.html
With only an hour face-to-face meeting with my friend Claude Tregoat we set up connections for 500 students in a project which would become to be known as CLAVIER.
Taking the risk to be open.
Feeling of being uncomfortable when first confronted with explaining a potential project - that reminds me of conversations with Maritta and Leena.
No one ought to answer a priest that he is contrite, nor should the priest inquire
This places a priest on a pedestal. A priest or the Pope should all be subject to be questioned, by the people and even by our court system. They are not above the law. It reminds me of President Trump and his travel ban. He noticed that even him as a President, should answer to a court system. By all means, a priest or Pope should be contrite or apologetic if wrong and be subject to questioning by our government and if found wrong, repent.
Thus far the agricultural 1aborer has been regarded by the political economists as a mere machine
This idea reminds me of what we talked about with industrialization last class. The idea that a person who works as a farmer or other agricultural worker can simply be placed with a machine is what started the whole era in the first place. It is also interesting to see how they put that it is the political economists that that of the workers in that manner. They are most likely only looking at the money involved and the speed of production instead of value of the product.
Attach to your daughters
I use to have a necklace that said "daddy's girl" on it! My father and I would wear identical clothes when I was four, because he was my entire world. My best friend. And he didn't push me away, he loved it! To me this reminds me of the scene from "A Rebel Without a Cause" where Natalie Wood's dad scolds her for kissing him. Dad's shouldn't do this to their daughters!
matrix
This is a very loaded word. So for procreation, Aristotle thought that the man actively imprinted on the passive woman, and one of the definitions for matrix is a "mould in which something, such as a record or printing type, is cast or shaped." (It's also the "cultural, social, or political environment in which something develops.") https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/matrix
Reading Cixous reminds me of cyberfeminism, which is often about "writing the feminine" through technology. I think VNS Matrix (their manifesto is below) is often considered a pioneer of cyberfeminism.
In fact, she physically materializes what she's thinking; she signifies it with her body.
We've talked a lot about embodied rhetoric for women, and the importance of acknowledging a rhetor's body, actions, and delivery as much as their words. But I'm also interested in this because Cixous' writing style is extremely animated: this almost sounds like a speech.
Also, this reminds me of Kathryn's comment on Sarah Mallet using her seizures to legitimize her preaching.
Fact-checking organisations
Reminds me of the Ministry of Truth.
journey
This reminds me of the hero's journey that is often a part of fantastic literature, where a hero goes on a journey to complete a quest and find out about himself. What features of the journey do you notice in this story?
Wife squeamish? Pam somewhat squeamish. Sometimes does not like to handle raw chicken.
Pam feels uncomfortable watching the process of the SGs being hoisted up by the doctor. It reminds me of a cable guy coming in for a new installation. I wonder what the process actually looks like. The SGs already had the microline strung through them so I suppose the more grusome part of the process was already over.
Greenway folks who come by 3x/day to give SGs meals/water, take SGs to SmallJon in back of van, deal with feminine issues, etc., etc.) hard at work.
Okay, so SGs are clearly human beings. They need to be given food, water and allowed to use the restrooms. But Greenway, the company that made the yard beautiful services the SGs three times a day. This is really bizarre. It reminds me of prostitution.
The US president is attacking the very institutions that are meant to expose lies: universities, the media and the judiciary. Democracy is impossible without
I feel like this statement could be viewed as aggressive towards one side since it associates the term attacking with the president but it is a very real thing happening and can't be taken lightly...this reminds me of how we talked about Trump feeding lies to his own supporters, anyone who knows what's been going would know this to be true that there is very real issues going on with the media but people who continue to ignore the manipulation of the media going on would just look to president Trump for reassurance and believe him when he says things such as "fake news" instead thinking there is validity in this headline
For why would I accept your fact-checking if I do not trust the good faith and competence of your testing procedures? What is needed, then, would be a meta-fact checker, an institution that examines whether the fact-checking institutions can be trusted!
The whole fact checking argument reminds me of an SNL skit about Fox and Friends where the fact checked list at the end of the "show" was just line after line of outrageous fake facts (ex: Pigs cannot fly etc.). It was very funny to me at the time but now the sketch seems real and it is scary.
Basically, an organism experiences too much or too little of something either within them or around them in the environment (i.e. something deviates from neutrality or optimum balance), which is then detected by our brains (i.e. via neural maps of the body).
That reminds me of a complex-adaptive system and an external condition or intervention that makes the resilience of the system kick in to cope with the threat to have its system functions remain intact. So emotions could be the body-mind-soul complex's defense mechanism.
we are all students of digital and media literacy
This reminds me of Rilke's idea that we should aspire to be perptual beginners.
But you do talk well
One of the biggest contemporary example of class difference that I see almost everyday is speech. The way the different social classes talk immediately distinguishes from one another. Working in a work place where I deal with customers hands on the upper or more of the middle class people have proper, and clean grammar, and well spoken all throughout. With the lower class folks having broken english, and incorrect grammar. And with Martin Eden we all know he is a clear example of someone transitioning to the upper class. When Ruth first talks to Martin in the first chapter his english is quite awful, reminds me when I first started to learn english "shocked her from moment to moment with his awful grammar". "Yes, I ain't no invalid". Martin kind of reminds me of Frankenstein's monster when in bride of frankenstein he learns how to talk. A monster who tries to learn to be civil.
And yet the magazine short stories seemed intent on glorifying the Mr. Butlers, the sordid dollar-chasers, and the commonplace little love affairs of commonplace little men and women.
Again, this comment seems ironic for Martin; throughout the story he is compared to Mr. Butler by Ruth. More realistically, Mr. Butler is somewhat of an ideal that Martin tries to uphold by his own means. The idea of "commonplace little men and women" reminds me of the kind of life Martin and Ruth would have shared. He continuously strived to achieve a status that was qualified to win Ruth's heart. However, in the end, Martin realizes that this commonplace life, which he worked so hard for, was indeed glorified as he says here. When Ruth first introduces the concept of Mr. Butler to Martin she says "He wanted a career, not a livelihood, and he was content to make immediate sacrifices for his ultimate gain."(Pg.44) I believe this is the main difference between Martin and Mr. Butler's goals. While Mr. Butler aimed to make money and have a career for himself, Martin worked for a livelihood which included Ruth. Martin and Ruth can't share a "commonplace little love affair" because their relationship is much more complicated.
it is for your iniquitous and disgraceful practice of keeping African slaves, a custom so evidently contradictory to the laws of GOD, and in direct violation of the charter* of this province, and the natural and unalienable rights of mankind;
This quote is so strong and entirely highlights Allen's argument. The idea of fighting for independence on the backs of those who are still enslaved is entirely contradictory, but especially wrong when is comes to religion. Although, one this that has always confused me, even with a childhood spent going to Sunday school, is why slavery was justified in some parts of the Bible but not others. I'm curious if the white men back then were able to find a valid counter argument to having slaves, and if they actually believed it was their right to own another human being. This also reminds me of European men who came to foreign lands like in South East Asia and inflicted their religion as though they were saving the people there, but they were actually enslaving them - particularly in Indonesia. It's disturbing how often an ideally pure ideology becomes so contorted in order to benefit a small group of people.
These less dense networks, often referred to as radial networks, can also be favorable or unfavorable, depending on the behavior or attitude that you are interesting in studying
This reminds me of strong ties theory and weak ties theory(also called structure hole) we had read before which are competitive theories , but both theories can explain some certain social phenomenon. Strong ties theory can explain how strong ties affect people's behavior or attitudes etc., and weak ties play a role of bridge to disseminate (non-redundant) information. So I think what matters is your research question/interest, your research question will drive you to apply appropriate theory and interpretation.
Jesus Christ the mighty king and Saviour, the scourge of tyrants, and destroyer of sin and satan, the assertor, the giver and supporter of original, perfect freedom; he sets open your prison doors, knocks off your chains, and calls you to come forth. Oh! What a prisoner who will not leap for joy at the sound of this jubilee trumpet, accept the offered pardon, embrace the given freedom,—bid adieu to slavery and bondage, and stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ makes his subjects free.
I enjoy the way Hart uses Christianity throughout this passage to condemn slavery. Learning about slavery in high school, I was shocked to find out church-going people used the Bible to defend the act of slavery. This reminds me of one of my favorite Abraham Lincoln quotes of all time, "my concern is not whether God is on our side, my greatest concern is to be on God's side."I think this quote sums up the view of how, in reality, Christianity condemns slavery through its teachings of equality and justice.
The author basically introduces the importance of prototyping all along the design process. It will help designers keep iterating the product, and every iteration helps improve the product during each stage. However, it reminds me of a test, during which students are divided into two groups from a ceramic class. One is required to make one object during whole semester and final grade will be given on this work. The other is required to make as many objects as possible and their grades are based on the final amounts of works. The final works of the first group are typically not as good as the second one's later works. The reason is indicated in this passage. The first group spend whole semester make the prototype and make it at last day, which is the very first stage prototyping. They don't have the chance to do iteration during the whole making process like the second. group.
Hackerspaces worldwide use the internet to interact and hack for the weekend. Third weekend each mo
Love this idea a lot. Reminds me of poetry in a coffee shop
flame of vanity
The tone, and especially the use of the word "flame of vanity" reminds me specifically of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes
The themes or language and meaning, ethics and ideology. and argument and knowledge recur and overlap al each stage in the formulation of rhetorical theories during the twentieth century.
Not to belittle anything that people did for rhetoric during the 20th century, but weren't these the same ideas present in rhetorical form during the height of the Greek philosophers? Is the difference in the theory rather than the practice?
It reminds me of earlier point Raj made about the difference between rediscovery and reinventing; was this the rediscovery aspect?
using such tools as freewriting and associative thinking. This is the opposite of convergent thinking, in which you’re taking logical steps to arrive at a conclusion.
This reminds me of the right-brain vs left-brain thing. Are people who are more inclined to convergent thinking inherently analytical rather than creative?
He had cleaned it many times, till there was no stain left upon it. It was bright, and glistened.

You must play Chopin to me. The man with whom my wife ran away played Chopin exquisitely.
I find it interesting that Lord Henry should want to hear something that reminds him of something as unpleasant as his wife leaving him for another man. Maybe he's just filling the void? When he first spoke of his wife I didn't get the feeling he was terribly fond of her to begin with though..
They have forgotten the highest of all duties, the duty that one owes to one’s self
This is really interesting because you can interpret this in many ways. This sentence can refer to losing who you really are in an attempt to please others as the paragraph suggests. I believe however that this can also refer to the idea of following a moral compass that you believe in not that others have told you to believe in. This sentence actually reminds me of the movie Mulan 2 when a princess asks mulan for advice because she agreed to an arranged marriage but has fallen in love with someone else. She asks mulan how she was able to make the decision to take her father's place in the army and pretend to be a man. Mulan's response was that she discovered that her duty is to her heart. I think that this is foreshadowing and that dorian or basil may possibly have to to re!member where their duties lie and make a hard decision that may go against what others may deem appropriate.
Nowadays people know the price of everything, and the value of nothing.”
This reminds me of what one of my coaches would say in junior high, "involved in everything, committed to nothing." meaning people were doing all sorts of things but never cared about any single one.
I want you to lead such a life as will make the world respect you
this reminds me of a quote I annotated in the beginning of the novel. Dorian's duty is to himself not to the public so why should he lead a life that is respected by others if it is not respected by him.
When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one’s self, and
Im not sure what he means by deception in either scenario. The first reminds me of blind love so I suppose one would deceive one's self into thinking that the other is perfect and then deceive others when you know the other isn't perfect but may want to portray a happy or perfect relationship. whether that is the right interpretation or not this is no doubt significant in meaning.
For every sin that he committed, a stain would fleck and wreck its fairness
The whole idea of Dorian noticing that his portrait has changed reminds me of a scene in BTS's music video for their song, "Blood, Sweat, and Tears." The concept of this video is based on the story of "Demian". In the last shot of the of the video, Jin, who represents Sinclair, is looking at his reflection in a mirror. His reflected face begins to crack, representing the loss of innocence and youth, as well as giving into temptation.
You taught me what reality really is
This reminds me of when Dorian first saw his portrait.
My dear Harry, my dear Basil, you must both congratulate me!” said the boy, throwing off his evening cape with its satin-lined wings, and shaking each of his friends by the hand in turn. “I have never been so happy. Of course it is sudden: all really delightful things are. And yet it seems to me to be the one thing I have been looking for all my life.” He was flushed with excitement and pleasure, and looked extraordinarily handsome.
This passage reminds me of the discussion from class, in which we noted that Dorian Gray is the person that Wilde "would like to be...in other ages, perhaps". In this passage, Dorian seems so happy and content with life, which could be something that Wilde was longing for.
t was true that as one watched life in its curious crucible of pain and pleasure, one could not wear over one’s face a mask of glass, or keep the sulphurous fumes from troubling the brain and making the imagination turbid with monstrous fancies and misshapen dreams
This reminds me of the quote that I chose for Prelim #3--"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." Masks can't truly conceal one's feelings as the truth is always bound to come out.
How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrid, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young. It will never be older than this particular day of June.... If it was only the other way!
This passage reminds me of the saying "ars longa, vita brevis", which in Latin means, "art is long, life is short". This is the idea that art will live on forever, while life on earth will not.
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.
This reminds me of "Demian". In this story, a boy named Sinclair learns, while growing up, that it is okay to enjoy things that are considered to be evil.
an actor of a part that has not been written for him
This reminds me of Wilde's mask quote.
nineteenth-century standard of immortality. Suddenly I found myself face to face with the young man whose personality had so strangely stirred me. We were quite close, almost touching. Our eyes met
This whole passage reminds me of that scene in Broad City where Ilana, at a party, runs into that woman played by the actor who was Maeby in Arrested Development and they fall immediately in love, only to realize later that they were complete opposites and they were only attracted to eachother because they look identical...
Certainly few people had ever interested him so much as Dorian Gray, and yet the lad’s mad adoration of some one else caused him not the slightest pang of annoyance or jealousy.
This reminds me of the Biopic again. When Wilde leaves the gathering he was at with another man (The one with the possibly Byron picture).
“Because you have now the most marvellous youth, and youth is the one thing worth having.” “I don’t feel that, Lord Henry.” “No, you don’t feel it now. Some day, when you are old and wrinkled and ugly, when thought has seared your forehead with its lines, and passion branded your lips with its hideous fires, you will feel it, you will feel it terribly. Now, wherever you go, you charm the world. Will it always be so?
This reminds me of Oscar Wilde's speech in the Biopic when he talks about youth and intellect.
“Oh, I am tired of sitting, and I don’t want a life-sized portrait of myself,” answered the lad, swinging round on the music-stool, in a wilful, petulant manner. When he caught sight of Lord Henry, a faint blush colored his cheeks for a moment, and he started up. “I beg your pardon, Basil, but I didn’t know you had any one with you.”
Dorian reminds me a lot of Lord Bryon's boy Possy. Could he have modeled Dorian after him as a way to let out what he really thought of Possy and his relation ship?
Their results fell between 200,000 kilometers per second, recorded in 1675 by Ole Roemer, who made his measurement by studying eclipse patterns in Jupiter’s moons, and 313,000 kilometers per second, recorded in 1849 by Hippolyte Louis Fizeau, who sent light through a rotating tooth wheel and then reflected it back with a mirror. The current accepted value is 299,792.458 kilometers per second
It is incredible that the measurements made in 1675 and 1849 were not that far off, conisidering the scale of the calculations and the inaccuracy of the tools being used to make them. This reminds me of Eratosthenes's calculation of the circumfirence of the earth which was incredibly close to the real number, and was made with a very simple experiment and some geometry.
apply it to all forms of language use.
This is an ambitious task as it raises questions about the relationship between the different forms that rhetoric can take. This ambition reminds me of Whateley's extremely confident assertion that "...most of the rules of Speaking are of course applicable to Writing." In a similar manner, Burke's piece seems to be predicated on the idea that the rules of one rhetorical form can "of course" be applied to another. As discussed by @em_bley and @sophist_monster on the Whateley piece, there are obviously unique characteristics of each rhetoric form, the role of audience being one. The unique role of the audience in writing and speaking is also discussed at length by Douglass (also discussed by @em_bley) when he writes about how audiences reacted to him as a black rhetorician.
The very scientific ideals of an "imper-!;CUJ,\~ sonal'' terminology can contribute ironically to ~tv., such disaster: for it is but a step from treating I · o· ,~. inanimate nature as mere "things" to treating ani-(.M,"J" t4"'\~ mals, and then enemy peoples, as mere things
This also reminds me of common appeals to the humanities: we need the humanities because we don't want science to get out of control and forget the very human consequences of advancements and experiments, such as war technology.
In this respect, cultures can be said to act like individuals -they simply cannot live with overwhelming guilt. Like individual trauma, cultural trauma must be 'forgotten', but the guilt of such traumas continues to grow.
This quote reminds me of slavery and race issues that pervade U.S. culture and consciousness today. It seems lately that more people are looking to have conversations about race and the horrifying past of this country, but I wonder how cinema has already and will continue to present and engage many of these issues. I wonder how cinema will be able to help foster these conversations and help uncover "forgotten" or brushed aside traumas. As Khatib notes, cinema can be destructive and can misrepresent things too, and I wonder what we are still misrepresenting about our own past.
Lebanese national identity is still a contested notion.
This line reminds me of the scene in which the teacher tells Tarek that the French essentially "invented" Lebanon and were civilizing him. Tarek certainly finds it ridiculous, as it is, but I wondered what more of the characters thought about the French colonial influence, and I wonder how the movie would have been different if it explored that more.
Egyptian cinema was part of me. Lebanese cinema, on the other hand, felt foreign.
This speaks immensely to not only the impact of Egypt's hegemonic hold on Arab cinema but also the struggle of Lebanese cinema as it attempts to compete with its Egyptian counterpart. This also reminds me of the Shafik reading which details this history more. The film should also be considered heavily in this context.
I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two lives, Old man with wrinkled female breasts, can see
This reminds me of Madame Sosostris from Eliot's first part of the poem "The burial of the dead." Eliot alludes to the detail of Tiresias with female features. Could Eliot be onto something with Tiresias and Madame Sosostris? He seems to mention other parts of the poem again constantly.
Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante, Had a bad cold, nevertheless Is known to be the wisest woman in Europe, With a wicked pack of cards. Here, said she, Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor, (Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!) Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks, The lady of situations. Here is the man with three staves, and here the Wheel, And here is the one-eyed merchant, and this card, Which is blank, is something he carries on his back, Which I am forbidden to see. I do not find The Hanged Man. Fear death by water. I see crowds of people, walking round in a ring. Thank you. If you see dear Mrs. Equitone, Tell her I bring the horoscope myself: One must be so careful these days.
This section of the poem reminds me of the prophecy from ancient Greece that Tiresias warned Oedipus about in Sophocles' drama Oedipus The King. Tiresias was the blind prophet who showed hesitation in aiding Oedipus on the hunt of his father King Laius's murderer. However, Tiresias eventually told him that it was himself, Oedipus, who was the murderer. In addition to that, ancient Greek legend has it that Tiresias morphed into a woman for 7 years. Could Eliot be hinting at the true identity of Madame Sosostris?
Glowed on the marble, where the glass Held up by standards wrought with fruited vines
ending the line with the word glass reminds me of Williams, since the idea here feels open-ended and stops abruptly making you slow down and actually think about the use of every word.
“My nerves are bad tonight. Yes, bad. Stay with me. “Speak to me. Why do you never speak. Speak. “What are you thinking of? What thinking? What? “I never know what you are thinking. Think.”
These sentences kind or remind me of Gertrude stein. The speaker here says "what are you thinking of? What thinking? What?" -- this reminds me of the "Next to barber bury china glass" lines in "Sacred Emily." It seems like the speaker is cutting out words down to essentially "Speak" and "What."
Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante,
When i read this poem a broken mirror comes to mind, each section is fragmented and the speaker seems to change consciousness from line to line making it hard to follow but also adds more layers to the images. The fragmented nature reminds me of a collage.
Rapid changes in turgor cause the swelling or shrinking of guard cells in leaves that controls the opening and closing of stomata.
This reminds me of something in animals but I can't remember. I thought it was maybe what the guy talked about at INBRE with the cells in the ear?
sculpt
great word here. Reminds me of Kim Stanley Robinson
Heather had fucked me three times. Heather had probably also fucked Rogan three times, since, in the name of design consistency, Abnesti would have given Rogan and me equal relative doses of Vivistif™.
This reminds me of the lab experiments in high school when they ask for constant variables. For a proper experiment everything must be equal.
Content is generally what is “covered” by coursework in the discipline. It can include facts, concepts, ideas, and texts. Content is the what of a discipline.
this reminds me of our contracts, because they include the content of our programs, or what will be covered.
for two high school teachers to occupy a structurally equivalent position, both teachers must teach the same set of students
This reminds me of my middle school. Rather than each class period having different students, we had one classroom with the same students and we would just switch teachers each period. They all taught the same students. It's nice to have a personal example of structural equivalence
I met a very, very handsome man
Reminds me of the "opera scenario" Joanna spoke about in Part III.
I caution you, again and again, to beware of the men who advise you to forsake the plain path, marked out for you by the congress. They only mean to deceive and betray you. Our representatives in general assembly cannot take any wiser or better course to settle our differences, than our representatives in the continental congress have taken. If you join with the rest of America in the same common measure, you will be sure to preserve your liberties inviolate; but if you separate from them, and seek for redress alone, and unseconded, you will certainly fall a prey to your enemies, and repent your folly as long as you live.
Hamilton is advising against doing what England tells the colonies to do, and says they don't have the colonists's best interest in mind - only the interest of England. This, Hamilton's words here, actually reminds me of how extremist news will fabricate political news to create excitement and concern. We know standing on this side of history it's easy to see Hamilton as correct and heroic since this text led up to the war. But as the lecturer said, its important to look at things in that moment in history and not look forward or write it anticipating what will happen next. England seemed to be trying to work with the colonists, but people such as Hamilton were always looking to inflate and exaggerate the actions of Congress. It's also important to note that Hamilton was likely trying to instill fear in the colonists so that the masses of them would join and rally behind the war, which was arguably the elites' argument.
Flexibility of Research:Working with colleagues from other fields of study and expanding your horizons in terms of what and how you research are surely the pros of having a more flexible field.
Reminds me of my interview with my professor when she said she is working with other colleagues to create a Healthy Aging Initiative program.
Our collective expertise as a field uniquely links scales of analysis (socio-cultural, ontogenetic, micro-genetic) and, we believe, can enable us to address the powered and political purposes, contexts, and consequences of learning
This gives me hope! But also, reminds me that we need to be able to communicate outside of our field(s) and more directly influence politics, education, and society. So we need to also hone our ability to write newspaper articles, op eds, and blog posts, and speak on television shows and radio...
Free software hackers and enthusiasts have successfully secured a domain of legal autonomy for software production during an era of such unprecedented transformations in intellectual property law that critics have described it in ominous terms
This reminds me of The Internet of Ownership, which was a great site we were directed to for this weeks exploit. The site contained a whole source of free, malleable software that was either up and running, or needed help to be made.
The implicit rendering is usually through some kind of figuration because it is the nature of this meaning to be ineffable in any other way.
Reminds me of Burke and his elaborations on the role figurative language plays in rhetoric - and how that impacts such ratios as act-scene, agent-scene, agency-purpose, etc.
Definition is an attempt to capture essence.
I've never thought of it quite like that, but that's exactly what it is.
Reminds me of how Nathaniel explained to us how at first dictionaries were just lists of words, but evolved to become the mighty canons of language that they are today. Nowadays, they contain the bulk of rhetorical essence that our modern tradition utilizes.
I killed her
This reminds me of a lot of feminists reclaiming "nasty women" or the riot grrrl movement: this idea that the myth of the pure, well-behaved woman must go, and going against this myth (misbehaving) is forwarding women's liberation. Killing this myth is an act of defiance.
Abstract
The structure of this whole paragraph reminds me of the standardized testing in grade school where you had to write out the steps of your process in math problems. Like "First I did... Then I did... Finally I did this... etc."
I could never stand by silent, watching destruction march against our city, putting safety to rout, nor could I ever make that man a friend of mine who menaces our country. Remember this: our country is our safety. Only while she voyages true on course can we establish friendships, truer than blood itself. Such are my standards. They make our city great.
This dialouge sort of reminds me of Donald Trump's rhetoric and dialect.
you were to overhear this real-life conversation in your school,what would be the right way toreact?
This brings me back to High school,it Reminds me of a quote by Tom Scott "Once one student learns how to bypass the firewall, the whole school does".Although The way we did it wasn't by steeling a administers information, it was by understanding how the schools firewall work.
Ethel.
This line reminds me of Fred yelling to his wife Ethel from I love Lucy.
If I was surely if I was surely.
Whenever I read this line, it reminds me of Leslie Nielsen's character Dr. Rumack from "Airplane."
Argonauts.
This line reminds me of the ancient Greek mythological tale about Jason and The Argonauts. Jason from Colchis was in search for the Golden fleece. Could Gertrude Stein be hinting at a reference to the ancient Greek drama Medea?
I was here not by choice but because I had done my crime and was in the process of doing my time.
This passage shows how these "experiments" being conducted by Abnesti are occuring as a punishment for a crime that Jeff comitted. This reminds me of how sometimes, people who commit minor crimes get given a certain amount of hours of "community service"
whole length of a leaf blade while small veins and their transverse connections distribute water locally, drawing it from the large veins
This is really cool. It reminds me of our circulatory system.
The reasons for America’s newly fitful and halting macroeconomic performance are still a puzzlement to economists and a subject of considerable contention and debate.1Economists are generally in consensus, however, in one area: They have begun redefining the growth potential of the U.S. economy downwards.
This reminds me of climate denial. "Though there is considerable debate about the causes, there is no denying that temperatures are rising." I doubt there is an honest economist who would dispute that hoarding of wealth by the few would harm the many. We are in a situation where this is happening on an unprecedented scale. I would love to hear from someone more versed in the numbers to know whether that accumulation could account for the decrease in U.S. economic growth potential.
Direct attention
This reminds me of meditating because while meditating you have to clear your mind and just do instead of thinking , you can also visualize on one thing such as a color or an action but you have to focus on that one thing and direct attention actually reminds me of the times where I used to meditate.
miniature cities
It reminds me of Georgia State University. It is just like a miniature city within the city of Atlanta. Georgia state even has their own police force with in Atlanta's police force. In addition, if you walk off Georgia State's campus, you will know depending if you are heading toward the rough side of town or the working class side of town. Mostly students and teachers actually walk on campus; the rest of Atlanta drives through Georgia State, like how most people drive through and unfamiliar state until they reach something more familiar.
It is true I am a woman; it is true I am employed; but what professional experiences have I had? I
This reminds me of Iris Young's "Five Faces of Oppression." Young argues that we often neglect to see the many faces of oppression, and that we misrepresent reality by comparing dissimilar experiences of oppression as existing under the same general umbrella of subjectivity. Anyone who experiences even one face of oppression is oppressed, but many individuals and groups experience oppression differently because they may experience different combinations of the faces of oppression. One face of oppression which often goes overlooked is "powerlessness."
Powerlessness is a distinction between technical freedom and actual self-possession and choice. Examples Young gives are that although we are technically allowed to choose our employer, many employees are placed at the bottom of the totem pole, where they are dictated to, rather than consulted about their own work. Those who work menial jobs, for example, in which the minutia of their jobs (what to do and how to do it) are strictly controlled are powerless. In contrast, professionals such as doctors, teachers, managers, etc. are given a degree of freedom and choice about how to best go about their work, and they might even have employees working under them, whose work they get to control. This freedom gives one "respectability" in the eyes of society and one's own eyes. If someone does not have access to professionalization, they are denigrated for this lack of "respectability," by the implication that they are inferior to professionals. This, of course, becomes a vicious economic and psychological cycle.
This system of oppression through powerlessness is what Woolf is referencing here. Although she is employed, society has denied her the freedom allotted to most literary professionals, most of whom are men. She is employed, but she is not a professional because she is denied the freedom and respectability that being a professional connotes.
If I am at liberty to judge what is my natural right, which I have thus reserved, and what not, I may exempt myself from every act of government, for every act lays me under some restraint which I have a natural right to be free from.
This part of the passage reminds of Wolff's argument in "In Defense of Anarchism". The Englishman describes how if a person is able to decide what laws he will obey then it is contradictory to consider himself a subject of that government. He then goes even further to say that every act of government puts a person under some restraint which they have a natural right to be free from. This argument is very similar, if not identical, to the argument of Wolff. It seems to me that these two individuals are discussing the idea of individual autonomy and if that can exist with state authority. Wolff believes that the concepts of individual autonomy and state authority are mutually exclusive, but I find it interesting that in 1768 people are already having this argument.
proud of her growing family which keeps her busy and happy around the house
This section stuck out to me as I was first reading it as almost sarcastic. Of course, as we read on later, taking care of her family and the house most certainly does NOT keep her happy -- her mental entrapment reminds me a lot of Gilman's short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper".
passed by
This may be literal, however it reminds me of "passed on" as though someone may have died. This could be an early foreshadowing to the last line: "They have eaten me alive."
that two-thirds of the teach-ers in these schools are women; that nearly three-fourths of our church members are women; that through the modern Sunday-school women have already become the theological teachers of the future church; and that, per mntra, out of about sixty thousand persons in our penitentiaries fifty-five thousand are men; that whiskey, beer, and tobacco to the amount of fifteen millions of dol-lars worth per year arc consumed almost wholly by men;
Women are much more saintly and spirited than a vast majority of men, so why can't they be the clerics?
Reminds me a lot of Stewart's argument for greater female participation in the Church, despite St. Paul's often-referenced passage. I do think it's funny just how much power this one passage has, and how it is so often either challenged or cited by Christian feminists or Christian traditionalists, respectively.
On a side note, I also find it a source of pride that it was through Christian theoretical rhetoric that women began the push for greater equality and independence.
little legal recourse, given that married women's property laws ~~-...-~\ often still gave everything, even a wife's wages, to the husband
We've had some discussions over when does Feminism start/proto-Feminism end, and it reminds me of Mary Wollstonecraft, who's generally considered to be the last woman to found feminism with her book Maria: The Wrongs of Women at the end of the 18th Century. The central focus of the book is a woman's legal non-entity and how a man's wantonness can abuse that. The history of the legal construction of a woman is something that should not be overlooked here.
ust b~cause .it was () · the expected thing to do.
Remember your Blair! Do not blindly follow the crowd.
This, along with the suffrage movement as a whole, reminds me of a short story by Anna Quindlen about a woman choosing her last name.
custody of children to the husband.
Interesting to see the social change that has occurred since then. Women are now more than 60% more likely to win custody if a divorce is filed. Sort of reminds me of the quote from Stewart, " look at many of the most worthy and most interesting or us doomed to spend our lives in gentlemen 's kitchens"
As the kitchen is now one of the sexist jokes regarding where a woman belongs, that statement seemed odd to me. This seems like a similar situation, although I'm sure that few jokes revolve around custody battles.
it may be reasonably claimed that men's hopes of hea~en will be im-measurnbly increased
This reminds me of Douglass' argument that slavery was dangerous to whites as well as blacks because it corrupted even the most tender-hearted mistress. These sorts of appeals remind us that these rhetors are always thinking about the make up of their audience.
human need to be in control of the 'YPrld
Reminds me of man's need to run the world
His method is lo treat man as the measure of all things, but in doing so he again proceeds from the error of believing that he has these things [which he intends to measure] im~ "'" o.+ llP> mediately before him as mere objects
This actually reminds me about something I read in Karl Stern's book The Flight from Woman, in which he argues that man began his primal existence in a state of “prater-rational thinking." Basically, he argues that man’s original identity was a unitary reality in which all knowledge was apprehended outside of consciousness; it was incorporated through an intuitive, experiential bond between the senses and nature. Not sure how much Nietzsche would get on board with in terms of that half of the theory, but then Stern says that the declension into modern thought, or what he calls “cogito," is the intellectual process of self-raising consciousness; an unincorportated version of the praeter-rational mind. Man is now aware of his ability to think and analyze, and so his ego confronts the world as a separate object from himself.
They arc deeply immersed in illusions and in dream images; their eyes merely glide over the surface of things and sec "forms." Their senses nowhere lead to truth; on the contrary, they are content to receive stimuli and, as it were, lo en-gage in a groping game on the backs of things. Moreover, man permits himself to be deceived in f I his dreams every night of his life.
So much of this piece reminds me of the films of David Lynch, specifically Mulholland Drive. Much as Nietzsche is fascinated by language as a sign of something rather than something in itself, Mulholland Drive is a film that is more interested in exploring the vapid nature of cinema and the nothingness of film. Throughout the film, Lynch pulls the rug out from under his audience repeatedly, bluntly drawing attention to the fact that film is only the representation of genuine experience or emotion, leaving viewers alone with the nothingness that film actually is. Everything in Mulholland Drive is a "surface of things" (as Nietzsche would put it) rather than an actual thing. The best example of this is the "Club Silencio" scene in which the club's emcee repeatedly yells "No Hay Banda." However, when a number of musicians emerge on stage immediately after this proclamation, viewers still are surprised when these acts are revealed to be nothing but hollow, fraudulent performances, merely a "surface of things."
The deception of dreams that Nietzsche touches on here is also another central theme of Mulholland Drive as Lynch explores the disorientation and terror of nightmares.
The moral of this annotation is Mulholland Drive is a brilliant film that you absolutely must watch.
tropes "are considered to be the most artistic means of rhetoric.
Nietzsche's use of "trope" here is interesting; the positive connotation is certainly distinctive from the negative connotation that the word has in our 2017 society. However, his high praise of tropes is fascinating and relevant, and though it is probably only tangentially related, it reminds me of this article from io9 which discusses how tropes in science fiction films ought to be viewed as positive artistic devices instead of negative ones:
"Even when a movie gleefully steals from everything it can get its grubby mitts on, as in the case of James Cameron's Avatar, that doesn't necessarily make it any less of an "original" story. Cameron may have admitted Avatar is basically Dances With Wolves in space, but he still came up with a cool new world (including the telepathic fiber-optic connection between people and creatures) and the neat plot device of a human occupying a genetically engineered alien body. Plus there was still no existing Avatar fanbase saying "if it doesn't have the big red dragon, I'm rioting."
Avatar is terrible, but not because of its use of tropes.
such as the problem of evil or the alleged threat of science to religion
See, this reminds me of psychics saying thing like: "You have to believe in my powers for them to work!"
In the hospital, here I was walking into the nursery to see my beautiful baby, and there were other mommies and daddies seeing their babies, and here I was in this big orange jumpsuit and shackles. And I was really, really, embarrassed.
That's rough. I can't imagine how that walk of shame felt. I can really sympathize with that. This reminds me of a saying my dad always told me, "Good people can do bad things." I don't think the mother did anything "bad" to land herself in jail. I can tell by how remorseful she is over what happened that she is a good person at heart.
At one point while dad was gone, mom decided that we would not take any family pictures. She just said it one night at supper and we nodded knowingly as if that made sense. And she decided that she would buy no new clothes until dad came home. There was also a point at which she decided that we should always have a small bowl of rice for supper and that’s all, to sort of share dad’s meager existence.
It sounds to me like the mother wanted to show solidarity with her husband. Perhaps the kids were too young to understand this concept. This reminds me of how wives in Germany during WWI would give their gold wedding bands to the government to support the war effort.
It’s easy to know if you’re pregnant
Reminds me of the news story about how Target outed a young woman's pregnancy.
the stifling heat of September Somehow it seems to destroy us
This part of the poem reminds me of the same reference to heat thats in Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing"
addressed to cheap jewelry and rich young men with fine eyes
Reminds me of Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend.
the stifling heat of September Somehow it seems to destroy us
For some reason the heat described by William Carlos Williams reminds me of the smog in Los Angeles. It destroys the environment.
They enter the new world naked, cold, uncertain of all save that they enter. All about them the cold, familiar wind
When I read this section, it reminds me of the "The Lovers Whirlwind" painting by William Blake.
A composition should be "a body, not a mere collection of members,"9 but it should be a living body.
This reminds me of Lessing's The Golden Notebook. The issue of writing and ownership is something that is playing out as the protagonist (a writer) discusses her published work as something which doesn't even feel like it belongs to her; she thinks of it more as the property of her readers, and is ashamed of her work and confused as to why critics like it. Hill seems to almost think of composition as a separate body with a life of its own, and the author is something of a parent who brings the composition into being. Where does this position the audience, and what makes a written work a "living body"? Of rhetoric doesn't make a work "alive," what does?
Drilling down reminds me of a puzzle: breaking down a large problem into smaller ones (which is what you do AFTER you finish a puzzle but regardless)
Contextualizing reminds me of cities and buildings you can see on the skyline. Each building is much different close up than it does on the skyline.
Is it hard to imagine what can you create by removing words?
This reminds me of the premise of a beautiful play called "Where Words Once Were," which is the story of a dystopian world where citizens are limited to 1000 words, no more. When we remove words and simplify, we often find even deeper meanings in what isn't said.
The length of the longest path between two actors is five. To “get from” Student 15 to 16 in this directed network requires five steps: 15 ? 5 ? 17 ? 4 ? 2 ? 16. This is the only five-step path in the network and is the maximum distance between any two actors.
This reminds me of 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon or using Facebook to find how connected you are to a complete stranger.
What many people who believe in “colorblindness” do not understand is that many people of color are now proud to wear the labels that were once used to stigmatize us. It shows what we have prevailed through years of oppression, but others think identifying this way is just further fueling racism.
This paragraph reminds me a lot of the Tomi criticisms interview on the Daily Show. In attempting to justify her opinion that the Black Lives Matter movement is equal to the KKK, Lahren stated that her critiques do no make her racist because she her criticisms of an organization does not make her racist, furthermore arguing that she doesn't see colour. "How do you get through traffic lights" was Trevor Noah's witty response, but this sentiment is incredibly troubling. There is nothing wrong with seeing colour, it is what we do with that information that is important. Like this article states, it is imperative that we recognize the context that allowed for race to become divisive and oppressive. Furthermore, in acknowledging that we can accept ourselves and one another.
The meaning of an image is changed according to what one sees immediately beside it or what comes immediately after it
This reminds me of something I studied in Theory of Knowledge class while I was in high school. The meaning of art can be articulated from at least three ways: 1) from our own interpretation 2) from what the maker authoritatively dictates us to know what the art means (I don't like this one because it breaks the freedom when we see art) 3) From public's interpretation.
As we noted, freedom is the theme of the film, however, "Freedom" exists on a number of levels, and is therefore threatened by a number of ills; what the film achieves so well is the connecting of freedom and slavery, along with the formula of free will.
The author addresses something pretty big here but doesn't expand on it. The theme of freedom is significant for the Spartans in the face of the Persian advance, deeply rooted in their ideas about masculinity. However, the theme as it is presented seems more at home in a fictional depiction of the American Revolution than it does in Sparta. The film draws out a subtle theme from history and mixes in a myriad of more modern variations on the same theme. I've heard critiques of 300 as being significantly inaccurate. The juxtaposition (and this whole article) reminds me that it wasn't meant to be accurate. It was meant to address different ideas, especially via contrast. And it was adapted from a graphic novel to begin with, so maybe looking at the themes present in that depiction would be more significant. I think the producers did an impressive thing using an ancient topic to convey a modern theme. Just as values are contrasted between Persia and Sparta, I also think the juxtaposition of modern upon ancient is a tool we can use to further examine our own culture and how these values effect decisions and events today.
act like the heroes that they love by acting for a better world.
I feel so inspired by these words. It reminds me of the those posters that say change begins with you, Words that if you woke up to in the morning you wouldn't feel mad that you woke up early and inspire for greatness.
which they may be most readily put together
It's interesting how natively some of these things come to us, even though the order of language is based mostly on arbitrary cues, as demonstrated by how other languages don't follow these rules. It reminds me of Blair, who concluded that there had to be some sense of taste because he "knew," and his audience "knew," that they had to have some means that made them better than the foreigners.
where nature and technology are not just commensurate but substitutable.
This makes me think about a recent article I read about "designer babies" which are babies that are genetically modified for certain beauty traits, or to be free from certain diseases. Although it sounds like science fiction, many believe that this practice will one day be as popular as IVF. Scientists use "Crispr Technology" to genetically modify certain DNA to produce traits in babies. Obviously there is much debate over the ethics surrounding this research. A lot of debate has already begun for what this could mean for the future of IVF and for the future of having a child in general. The idea of designer babies brings reminds me of what we talked about in class: that nature and technology could be substitutes for one another. It could be possible that in the future all births are "technological."
relation
This reminds me of Aristotles ten categories, which, incidentally include "relation"
"Whatever has a begin-ning has a cause"
This particular tidbit reminds me of one of Augustine's arguments for the existence of God (the causal chain)
educated class
Reminds me of the "Must speak English," Trumpkin crowd. Linguistic polity being corrupted into democracy etc...
scheme:
This chart reminds me of Emerson's semiotic triads. Very structured, rigid, mathematical.
While critical thinking may be subject-specif-ic, that is to say, it can vary in method and technique depending on the discipline, most of its general principles such as rational thinking
This reminds me of high school teachers that would tell us "pay attention youre going to need this someday no matter what job you get!" The author is saying that no matter what you go into, you will always use critical thinking.
pirituality provided a gateway to political thought and often functioned as a springboard for discussions of secular history,"s as can be seen in Stewart's many references (noted also by Richardson) to the African pa
This description reminds me of the 18th century work of Phillis Wheatley, the first African American poet to publish a book. Wheatley doesn't have the best reputation now, but maybe looking at how Wheatley's work has influenced not just poets but other prominent African American women could renew appreciation for her work.
Also, in finding this comparison, I think this indicates that rhetoric and poetry are perhaps not so separate. They can have similar motives and techniques. And some of Wheatley's works, if I'm not mistaken, were delivered in public, and I don't think I would consider all of her work as a "soliloquy"; there's definitely an argument being made in her work, even if it's perhaps coded so as not to offend a white audience.
I do not think I would
It reminds me of the idea of "das Ding", where love would be "the thing" here. Although it's not a material thing like for example the cathedral in Adams' essay, still the idea remains that it is not love for itself what is important (as the author points its few or none practical uses for biological survival) but its effect on people, which is of a metaphysical power such that it wouldn't be given up for anything.
Or nagged by want past resolution’s power
This line reminds me of Henry Adam's "The Dynamo and the Virgin" based on Adam's take on American artists using sex for power. With Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem "Love Is Not All', the speaker is pretty much saying there is pressure on the man based on how people used it for power in the past. Could Millay and Adams be hinting at the possibility that America should break the chain of power in regards to love and sex?
Man, doughty Man, what power has brought you low,
This line reminds me of the speaker from Robert Frost's "Mending Wall" because in this line the man is defined as brave but stooping to a new low. In "Mending Wall", the speaker is finding reasoning to why there should be a wall but still looks to mending the wall. Is this man from "Here lies, and none mourn him" a rural idiot? Or could this man be suffering from two-ness?
Our ability to categorize words, as you can imagine, allows us to select and use words from our memories with great speed and accuracy.
This reference to speed reminds me of the difference when I speak in my 1st language, English, verses when I speak in my 2nd language, Spanish. Sometimes when speaking in English I am told to slow down or repeat a statement because I spoke to fast. On the contrary, when I speak in Spanish I often take my time because my brain does not have as many words to select from as I am not as proficient in Spanish which cause an slower speed and less accuracy.
Bandwagon appeals
This example reminds me of just sports fans in general. Their team is having an off season or a certain player is not having a good season, they move on from that team and move on to a different team or a different player that they know will perform better than the previous.
slippery slope fallacy
This reminds me of the DirectTV commercial when it claims one bad thing will happen after another if you use cable. Like a man would wake up this bad thing would happen, and because that bad thing happened another bad thing would happen, and so on. The commercial acted as if al these things would happen because of cable.
This is, I think, a true sketch of the principles of those who defend the doctrine of passive obedience and non-resistance.
This passages sticks out to me because it reminds me of the online lecture this week where the professor covered the struggle the founders faced when creating the executive role. There was a lot of discussion and tension on the powers and responsibilities this "ruler" should have in order to uphold the ideals of the new country without creating another monarchy. What I found to be especially interesting, while not completely relevant to this passage but I think is a fun fact, was all the debate that went into choosing the name 'president' and that this title maybe didn't carry the weight of power they were looking for. But overall, I think this passage shows the start of the struggle of creating an executive body that was reflective and representative of the people without having too much power that could repress them.
We know also, with equal certainty, that they are not obliged to submit to them in all things, without exception; but may, in some cases, reasonably, and therefore innocently, resist them.
If a ruler is misusing their power, then the laws requiring the obedience of the subjects no longer apply. This quote reminds me of MLK Jr's Letter From a Birmingham Jail: "One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws... A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law." Clearly, the basis of power which Mayhew speaks of is different than the democracy of the US, but both bring up the idea that not all laws should be followed if they are not just. This also makes me curious of how MLK would reason with a monarchy, which derives its power from "eternal" law.
To wash the steps with pail and rag,
This line reminds me of the scene from Walt Disney's animated feature "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" because I picture Snow White washing the steps at the castle with the pale. Could Frost be hinting at Disney's film a year before it was shown at the Carthay Circle Theatre? There seems to be symbolism of the message Walt Disney brought to the film during the harsh times of the Great Depression.
The darkest evening of the year.
This line reminds me of winter solstice because usually the earth tilt and how close it is to the sun makes the day shorter. Could the speaker possibly be traveling on the first day of winter?
“Mending Wall” (1914)
This poem reminds me of the Democratic Party trying to fight against President Donald Trump on building the wall. The speaker (Democrats) bring up valid points on why it isn't necessary to build a wall.
And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep
The repetition of this line reminds me of a lullaby. Although the speaker says he still has to travel for miles before he sleeps, it sounds like he may actually be drifting to sleep.
always misses the peasant hoeing at his patch.

Reminds me of this short story. How we are willing to turn a blind eye to human suffering to continue a comfortable life.
they took my job away from me and gave it to a Jew
This they-take-our-jobs reminds me of how people talk about immigrants today
2The Old-Before-New Way:So why does the second sentence sound clearer than the first? Perhaps it is because your brain was able to register the OLD, familiar information before it has to register the NEW, unfamiliar information. When a writer does not begin a sentence with OLD information, the reader has to hold the NEW material in suspension until they have figured out how it connects to what has been mentioned befor
This somehow reminds me of passive and active voice.
But what do we learn from the house itself?
It kind of reminds me when paranormal investigators always go through the history of the house instead of just analyzing how creepy the house is. They see who owns it, if someone died in it, and even research the land it was built on or if it possessed other uses instead of a normal house.
urban areas and suburbs American builders
The figure reminds me of town-homes that are actually located in the same place (urban and suburban areas). However, the architecture itself, looks more English than american in our present day environment.
The distribution of buildings mirrors the distribution of the population according to economic class and makes such divisions visible not only in the sizes of houses, but also in the way the buildings of the rich and powerful physically dominate the landscape by their location and presence (fi
This reminds me of Atlanta. There are a lot of areas where buildings are down and boarded up, but those building could be right next to a high rise or an establishment that was just built. So, I disagree with this statement because, yes sometimes you can definitely tell the economic standing of an area based on it buildings and roads. But Atlanta is a perfect example of an area that is very mixed in especially downtown Atlanta.
Reading buildings requires something of a leap of faith: faith in yourself as an objective onlooker and faith in your methodology. At some point you have to decide what it is all about
I never thought about analyzing buildings in this way, but it reminds me of the same way you would examine a picture. In order to properly analyze a building and tell its story you have to use all the physical characteristics as well as your experience and any remaining documents to piece together what the culture/society was like for the people of that time.
t may be that buildings important to your study are gone demolished or fallen down— so that the standing record is incomplete. In such cases you may need to reconstruct the missing pieces from whatever information is available
This reminds me of my Great Grandparents old home (which just so happen to be next to their not so new home). Anyways, back before I was thought of my great grandparents home caught on fire and burnt most of everything. To this day I can peak into the home and see old picture and a huge hole in the floor. I can use context clues to know what room was where. It's really interesting actually.
And depending too on how you feel about such things, the house may seem an attractive or an unattractive creation, a pleasant or a distasteful place in which to live.
While I haven't heard to much about the new development from my peers perspectives. I feel as if someone, if they haven't already, will critique the new development simply based off of their preferences. This in-fact reminds me that just like most things in life the value and appreciation of architecture is also objective and based off of personal preferences.
“that segment of [the human] physical environment which is purposely shaped . . . according to culturally dictated plans.”
This specific sentence reminds me of an article I read that talked about to Dekalb sewer problems. Dekalb county is a county in downtown Atlanta, GA. The article basically speaks about how since that area is growing rapidly and new projects are coming up. Unfortunately, the aging sewer system isn't enough to handle the huge projects they have coming. They have projects ranging from residential and commercial buildings to restaurants. They currently have 5 locations that are lacking sewer capacity. Dekalb is a dense county already and they are just gonna get big and bigger with the influx of people moving to Georgia both on business and households. Unfortunately for many of these places they have to hold on development. Even with the federal judge getting involved it does not speed up the process. Currently, development is being held up in these 5 classes throughout the county. Not only will this halt on development hurt the construction companies but also the economic growth and job creations in the area. Every developer says that the lines should have been updated a long time ago but unfortunately they have not. Some developers have also decided that they might just install septic tanks to get their project back on track. If this plan is approved then it would help the developer and the county sewer system as well with not overcrowding. This sentence reminds me of this article because you have to dictate your environment for future plans. This was something that the people of DeKalb county should have done. Better safe than sorry.

Part, but certainly not all, of the success that I had collecting the papersof African American women in Iowa and authors can be attributed to mybeing an African American woman myself. The identity I share with po-tential donors helps to establish rapport and trust, two elements that aregenerally crucial to fostering good donor relations but have been particu-larly important to me as I built the number of collections practically fromscratch. The “insider” perspective often enables me to understand nu-ances specific to African American culture that may appear both in myconversations with donors during field visits and in the papers them-selves.
This does seem like a crucial element. It almost reminds me of action research.
you may be interested in observing participants at local board of education meetings, collecting relational and attribute data on only those participants who attended three consecutive meetings in the past 6 months.
This reminds me of a question I have been being curious about, how do administrators of a university to make some big decisions especially when they attend board or other management meeting. I think it is interesting to explore this question using social network perspective.
a knot that is perpetually ravelling and unravellingwithin an unbounded matrix of relations
which reminds me of doreen massey 'city worlds', defining a city as a node of relationships in time and space
Being told what to do and when to do it is what school has instilled in us but writing that out and reading those words, it’s actually really ridiculous. The whole idea of being capable of thought, speech, and creativity but not using it because we assume we are not allowed to act outside of the box reminds me of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave
Totally agree, from an early age we are told where to sit, what to read, page requirements etc. For once we are given some freedom to operate freely/creatively and it kind of gives me some anxiety at first. However, the further the semester progresses the more comfortable I feel taking the wheel.
The sky was set apart, and the earth was set apart in the midst of the waters.
This part of the text reminds me of the book of Genesis when God was creating the world and he separated the heavens and the earth.
is not public opinion--constitutive of our democratic societies and powerfully aided by mass communication--defined by its limits, its energy of exclusion, its censorship?
Defining something by what it isn't? This part reminds me of Saussure, because I think he said something about being able to create distinctions between different words by knowing what they aren't, or rather that it creates meaning? So we know how a text works or how to classify not by its own characteristics but what limits it?
rearranging
The term "rearranging" keeps appearing in this essay...reminds me of Gardner's term "combinatorial disposition" .... the propensity to seek a more intelligible synthesis of discrete elements by continually recombining them in new shapes and patterns and forms, as in a bricolage.
Poets and kings are but the clerks of Time, Tiering the same dull webs of discontent, Clipping the same sad alnage of the years.
Reminds of some of the ideas discussed in Henry Adam's "Dynamo and the Virgin." Makes me think in particular of the idea that history is a way of connecting ideas and events in a linear way
But allow him more experience in works of this kind, and his taste becomes by degrees more exact and enlightened. He begins to perceive not only the character of the whole, but the beauties and de-f eels of each part; and i~ able to describe the pe-culiar qualities which he praises or blames. The mist is dissipalcd which seemed formerly to hang over the object; and he can at length pronounce firmly, and without hesitation, concerning it. Thus, in taste, considered as mere sensibility, ex-ercise opens a great source of improvement.
This reminds me of Hume: "A good palate is not tried by strong flavors; but by a mixture of small ingredients, where we are still sensible of each part, notwithstanding its minuteness and its confusion with the rest" (835).
Anyone can praise or blame based on the most obvious and strongest characteristics of something. Taste is only at play when one is able to praise or blame based on the subtle and intricate details of the thing under review.
Their style docs not suit modern taste and their theory docs not conform lo modem science.
This paragraph reminds me of my microresponse of "what rhetoric will be." With Blair emphasizing the importance of knowing classic rhetoricians and their styles, his point of their styles not withstanding time illustrates the ever-changing nature and flexibility of rhetoric, while still managing to place that importance on where rhetoric came from, as well
good character;
This reminds me of the Q question, YET AGAIN. I made an annotation regarding the audiences' acceptance of whether the orator was speaking for good or evil. To think that a speaker with evil intentions first had to have a "good character" is absurd to me, because of this, I think this statement further proves that the audience decides the nature of the speaker as well as the speech.
can die slowly
Reminds me of the Oregon trail. You make this game seem so ominous. How long did it take you to read through the instructions ( 12 pages?!) Based on your feedback, I have a sense there is a lot of intricacies to this game. Was there any confusion when you played?
bale it like dirty laundry
Here is where the speaker starts to talk about the snow much differently. It was once so clean and beautiful, and now it's being compared to dirty laundry. It reminds me of a saying that goes something along the lines of "Beauty doesn't last forever". That was the kind of vibe that I was getting off of this at point of the poem, but I don't think it has anything to do with the bigger meaning of the poem.
. But there remains this notion, deeply embedded in Domain of One’s Own, that it is important to have one’s own space in order to develop one’s ideas and one’s craft. It’s important that learners have control over their work – their content and their data
This reminds me of a quote from one of the most influential people I know. "If it doesn't work for you, it's not going to work."
a young peasant who seeks deliverance by escaping to the city, wherehe is corrupted and nearly ruined
This reminds me of our discussion in the previous class.
Again, countrymen is pure and naive, and people in the city are mostly seen as corrupted.
Could this be the reason why Kinawi wants to take Hanouma back to his village, where no one is around?
a site of constant motion, toand from the city, of youthful hope and, all too often, of shattered, and attimes, demented dreams
The way Cairo Station is depicted with this "constant motion" and the way that depiction interplays with ideas of "shattered" or "demented dreams" reminds me of the presently popular Hollywood movie "La La Land." In several interviews, the cinematographer of "La La Land," Linus Sandgren, has talked about his use of long takes and wide camera shots. Sandgren has commented that long takes and wide shots were used to make the camera "dance," evoking again this sense of constant movement. For "La La Land," the idea behind creating this movement was to make the story simultaneously (though somewhat paradoxically) more magical and more realistic. "Cairo Station" seems to use this constant motion for the similar purpose of making the story more realistic and chaotic. It is interesting to see how a presently popular and acclaimed Hollywood movie (albeit a nostalgic one) shares this concept of motion with Cairo Station.
Later on in this article it reads: "Chahine shot the entire film on location utilizing a hand-held camera to lend a“wobbly” effect and, for the first time, spurning fade-outs (Chahine 2006).The crowd scenes and the many shots of trains moving through the yards,whether framed from above or at ground level, look very different from thestylized urban landscapes reproduced on Giza’s (then) 30-year-old studio lots" (page 6). This too suggests the connection between showing motion in film and evoking a perhaps clearer sense of reality.
when you don’t know how much things have changed, you don’t see that they are changing or that they can change.
Reminds me of ourselves. We don't notice the changes in ourselves as we get older, because it's a gradual change. Then when you really think about it, certain memories seem to have happened longer ago than the last time you reveled that memory. People may say "you've changed" and you may not see it in yourself right away.
I turned it off with a laugh. I had no intention of telling him it was BECAUSE of the wall-paper—he would make fun of me. He might even want to take me away.
Another instance where he has power over her and doesn't think she is in her right mind. Or at least that is what she thinks john thinks. Reminds me of a husband who will commit his wife just because he doesn't want to deal with her and that may be her fear.
For outside you have to creep on the ground, and everything is green instead of yellow.
This line intrigues me because it reminds the saying "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." Could author Charlotte Perkins Gilman hinting at the narrator realizing how clearly he can see things outside? Being inside that room with the wallpaper, it is almost if he is envious towards the people outside.
There are things in that paper that nobody knows but me, or ever will
This line reminds me of our last reading by Du Bois, most specifically on the topic of the "veil" and its meaning. In this writing piece, I compare the yellow wallpaper to being the narrator's form of a "veil" and the more time she spends locked in that room with the paper, the more she realizes the oppressive state she is in with her husband, or metaphorically, the more she begins to see through the "veil." I feel as though her ripping through the wallpaper is her metaphorical way of freeing herself from the societal constraints, and her husbands, by gaining some independence in doing something on her own volition.
they are the subjects of their learning, not the objects of education technology software
Reminds me of being a pawn in a game.
but when you strip away the details
This reminds me of something my religious studies professor said: "No one wants to admit it, but all major world religions share 90% of the same beliefs and morals, and everyone focuses on the 10%, which are mostly culturally influenced details."
When I taught you at eight to ride
The poem has very little punctuation, a few commas to separate some of the lines.There is a flow with having many enjambed lines and it reminds me of someone riding a bike which is constantly moving until the rider decides to stop. The only period in the poem is at the end where the narrator finished sharing a memory about teaching her daughter to ride a bicycle.

This reminds me of Wittgenstein (and Rorty's) position concerning internal states and word meaning. Instead of understanding the meaning of words to reflect internal states, the meaning can be found in how the words are used in a particular context, or language game.
Fieldnotes should be written as soon as possible after leaving the fieldsite
I definitely understand why it is so important to take fieldnotes quickly after being at the fieldsite. This reminds me of how writing papers and doing homework for my math classes is always much easier and takes far less time when I do it quickly after class when the material is still fresh. It is very easy to forget little details in a short amount of time, so it makes sense that anthropologists try to record information quickly.
Prior to the various emancipation actions, beginning in Massachusetts in 1783 and continuing into the nineteenth century, blacks - 187 - were chattels, property to be disposed of in any way their owners saw fit.
This quote reminds me of the irony with "Black Lives Matter" In the article it tells of how the black lives matter movement started after George Zimmerman was acquitted of his murder of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin. It is interesting to see how our lives are valued more in these times compared to pre-emancipation times. It is interesting to see a change in a opinion in only a century. I feel like there is only one race and that is the human race. We just have different concentrations of melanin. It is pretty unfair to judge someone off their skin color alone. That irritates me a whole lot. I never asked to be this way, I was just reincarnated into the person I am now. Another thing I was told in class was that your environment affects your phenotype. If I was in the arctic area, my skin would probably be a few shades lighter so it is not really my fault that I am black. It is genetics and my environment around me.
Nothing is known of Cato Howe's early life, before his military service.
This quote actually reminds me of my literature class from my senior year of high school. We talked about how in some cases many colored people's early lives were not recorded and that makes it a lot harder to track family history for many people. It is even more troubling to try to connecting their family lineage but they are stuck. For a project, I had to create a huge family tree and I can remember it being very aggravating asking my family members who were my family members pass my great-grandparents. It was so stressful and it took up a huge amount of time. I actually went the whole length of the project because it just took so long to find what I was looking for. I did not even get my 100%, I got a 96%. The treatment of African Americans as nothing but property it utterly disgusting and sad.
When virtue is banished, ambition invades the minds of those who are disposed to receive it, and avarice possesses the whole community. The objects of their desires are changed; what they were fond of before is become indifferent; they were free while under the restraint of laws, but they would fain now be free to act against law; and, as each citizen is like a slave who has run away from his master, what was a maxim of equity, he calls rigour; what was a rule of action, he stiles constraint; and to precaution he gives the name of fear.
I am intrigued by the way Montesquieu thinks that virtue is a vital part of a Democracy. This reminds me of Plato's Republic and the necessity of virtue in the Philosopher Kings. The way that Montesquieu also discusses different forms of government also reminded me of the Republic. Yet, beyond its similarities to a book written about 2000 years ago, this quote also made me think about America today. The current political apathy that is present all over the country could be the cause of, as Montesquieu said, a lack of virtue. Some of the other signs of a lack of virtue that Montesquieu gives are pretty similar to America today. It seems to me that Montesquieu is a timeless writer because one can find connections to the past and present with his writings.
strong, precise verb
This reminds me of our poetry module. I have learned how powerful consolidating all your meaning into fewer words by choosing the perfect verb is.
Craigslist (really), I noticed, in the help wanted ads, in the midst of the usual office-drone fare, a little ad for an assistant editor at a small environmental news site called Grist.
This reminds me of the chapter explaining the expansion job opportunities through the web
I was competing against people five years younger for jobs I didn’t want. I had no plan and no clue, I was drawing unemployment checks, and oh, my first son had just been born. Like I said: adrift.
This reminds me a lot of Nandini Balial. Similar to Roberts, Balial had a job she knew she wanted, yet was still competing for jobs that she did not want in a ever competitive job market. Therefore, both turned to a labor market and found ways to pay the bills from working online.
getting cut off
My sister would get cut off from Pinterest because Pinterest's algorithm thought she was spamming people. I didn't think this happened on Twitter.
His posting habits of 30+ tweets every day seems excessive and reminds me that we often feel a need to post online.
more than 36,000 Twitter followers
This reminds me of the app/extension that deleted numbers from Facebook. Instead of seeing "36,000 followers," he would have seen "followers." I know you don't follow people on Facebook, but this is what I thought of.
vigilant2
The numbering convention is similar to footnotes, and reminds me of commentary about similarities among annotation, hyperlinks, and footnotes.
"Jove of literary fame
reminds me of a Franzen essay
one had to address all the faculties.
Reminds me of the view of rhetoric as a tool that the weak defense holds
memory, imagination, and reason.
Trichotomy, this reminds me of the divisions that Pierce makes between various signs and signifiers in his letters
