    25. Stanley Cavell, in dis-cussing Frank Capra’s It Happened One Night (1934), hints at how internaliza-tion of censorship can lead to a flouting of censorship’s very purposes through parody

    1. Annabel Lee

      Repeating Annabel Lee's name in this way makes me hear it almost as a chant. The speaker repeats it over and over again to bring attention to her name. It's important. She's important.

    2. In this kingdom by the sea

      This image is repeated throughout the poem. In my head, I'm visualizing a large sand castle built by the ocean and the speaker and Annabel Lee walking around within it. What does this image signify to the reader? Why wouldn't Poe put them in a house?

    3. I was a child and she was a child,

      What can you infer from this statement? Why do you think this might be important to the story? Do you think Poe is inferring that the subjects of the poem were not actually in love or is there some deeper meaning?

    1. the winding road from the classified section of yore to Tinder

      I'm imagining this curvy road with different stops that are dating websites and you can leave whenever you want if you're not happy or satisfied.

    2. It’s easy to see why online dating has taken off. It provides you with a seemingly endless supply of people who are single and looking to date. Let’s say you’re a woman who wants a 28-year-old man who’s 5 ft. 10 in., has brown hair, lives in Brooklyn, is a member of the Baha’i faith and loves the music of Naughty by Nature. Before online dating, this would have been a fruitless quest, but now, at any time of the day, no matter where you are, you are just a few screens away from sending a message to your very specific dream man.

      I agree, online dating is the ideal why to find the "dream" guy or girl. I don't think we need to settle for "good enough", but I do think this generation is obsessed with the idea of "perfection" and living the "dream". What happens when we don't find the "dream" online? What do we do then?

    3. There are downsides with online dating, of course. Throughout all our interviews—and in research on the subject—this is a consistent finding: in online dating, women get a ton more attention than men.

      I believe this to be true and a complicated part of the "downside" with online dating. If women are so popular on online dating platforms, does it make it harder for them to find love since there are seemingly so many choices out there? This is where the immediate face-to-face connection factor comes into play...

    4. “Oh, wait, you like the Red Sox?! No thank you!”

      Oh, wait, you disagree with me? Get outta here. This would never work.

      With the digital age, we're more connected, yet QUICKER to push away someone who doesn't share our every interest. How does this affect our chances of finding a suitable mate? What does this mean for the world outside dating? Does it affect how we interact with friends, family, coworkers, etc?

    5. The first woman he clicked on was very beautiful, with a witty profile page, a good job and lots of shared interests, including a love of sports. After looking the page over for a minute or so, Derek said, “Well, she looks O.K. I’m just gonna keep looking for a while.”

      In a world where dating has turned into shopping, it's funny to see this opinion put in print. There are so many options, yet, he continues to look. It's all about casting a WIDE net.
