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

There is no mention of this device/person/thing before this, so I think the author is trying to give us an insight of what the Duchess is feeling at the moment: confusion. It is a very complicated word, but at the same time it is made up of common roots, which makes it sound familiar to the reader. The Duchess even confuses two of the common roots (-mant- and -pod-), which makes an even stronger case for the similarity between the Duchess's confusion and the reader's confusion.

Though he and his mother are only visiting this town temporarily, this description of the bookstore seems like a familiar, everyday kind of description. This adds another dimension and existential permanence to this setting, as it shows that whether Mr. Denton is there or not, the bookstore is. I like this a lot because I think it opens the reader's eyes to the fact that there was a time before this story in the character's life, and there will be a time after. Specifically in this short story, it shows that the book store existed before Mr. Denton visited, and it will also be there after he leaves. This leads into some psychological discussions a it even touches upon the idea of object permanence, which is the idea and awareness that just because an individual can't see a specific object, it is still there.

I find this interesting-- what exactly does this mean? In a more modern structure, is this when they started to hang out? When they officially started dating? When they moved in together? Was this implication of ambiguity intentional? If so, why?

I really enjoy the way that Dickens makes the diction of the characters individual. You can hear the accents as you read this in your head, and it makes the reading experience more enjoyable. Especially after starting the short story off with a solid example of diction, the reader has an exact idea of the setting, and can also tell a little bit about the character's past education. This also may just be something I do as I'm reading, but after reading this first line in a specific accent, I read the rest of the work in and English accent also. The use of diction throughout this piece sets characters apart socially also, since some characters have what looks like a more Cockney pronunciation of certain words, and others have more "posh" pronunciations. Lastly, this says a lot about the type of people who worked as signalmen.

What makes you a reformer?

• You see a flaw and you want to change it.
• Confidence to speak on your opinion.
• Can even be in a smaller sense (religion, politics, science)

Three things:

1. Concept of zero
2. Education is still emphasized, but is now open to everyone, including women.
3. Different mathematical symbols.

Who in the past? Upper class men. Who now? Everyone, at least in America. Except for when you get to higher education in which case you need money to afford this education. LIBERAL = FREE. If you were enslaved at any point, you could not get a liberal arts education.

Education used to effect culture-- now it is the opposite, and culture effects education and what is taught.

Why is this? Is this because physical art was their only/sole artistic medium at the time? I can understand how different art forms can show varied emotional scales, as music has often touched me more than other mediums have, and I think that is semi-representative of my generation. Was physical art more emotionally attached to the people than music was at the time? In about 150 years, what art form/medium will be the most connected to the population? Will music remain dominant over emotional connectedness, or will the emotions of art completely change in the future?

What to Pay Attention to:

1. How the exhibit is organized
2. How it deploys your emotions

We are constantly filtering out strategies that do or don't work, and looking back at origins of education will help us to understand what strategies have been tried and also how we have already shaped education to what it is today. In addition, people will someday look at our educational foundations and see what works/doesn't work with us.

scopic- sight based regime- a body that has power

SCOPIC REGIME - something that has power because of the way it sees

• maps are a method of scopic regime-- they say who is in charge of what

LIMITATION VS./AND TOTALITY

"It is more self-centered in a respect, because you are more aware of your self as a human." -humans are so small in comparison to the virtual reality -doubles up human limitations-- can't do everything in a day, can't see everything in the virtual world -we want a universal experience, but we still can't get one, even in VR

creating an experience vs. capturing a (whatever is being envisioned for us here).
