this seems to correlate with the first scene of the movie

seems to be forshadowing

male superiority, women as sexual object and dependent agent

they seem to be completely dependent on this device that controls their emotions;although this device helps them make it throughout the day, it is unimaginable to me that this could be a way of life

Subordinate title, gendered female

Women shouldn't be marginalized or categorized into 4 roles, we are much more complex than that

she fills the mother role in a way that makes her mutually as important as her husband. She is not a sexual object because they share a mutual respect for one another

Independent agent-she acts on her own account

"both normal and inspirational" and "many degrees of cool" give her numerous roles as a woman, she wasn't just the stereotypical characteristics society gave her as a black women

The role of independent agent and mother are seen in this

This was the stereotypical expectation of Mrs. Obama, she wasn't "supposed" to be literate, strong-willed, independent, and intelligent as a black woman

referring to women being discriminated for not defying societies expectations of them

I think this is sort of alluding to the author's definition of an "ideal woman." I am sure these features are ideal for a lot of women as well, I think it's important twomen's role as independen is seen in this section

definition: deliberately created rather than arising naturally

this is a great example for me to consider in my own writing

"Reworking familiar materials is standard artistic practice." When we are forwarding a text, we must include the author's argument AND incorporate our idea that may have not been proposed by the author. This will further our limit of understanding on the subject.

This is my quote from the texts. It relates to my writing in the course in that I discuss a dystopia that addresses societal issues such as abortion, gender inequality, and euthanasia. These are broad and complex topics. While one person's opinion or ideas alone on one of these topics is limited to "x" amound of knowledge, multiple people's views on the subject would give a greater scope of the issue. Therefore, in my essays I have included Lois Lowry's (author of The Giver) opinions, the author of a secondary source's opinion, and this quote reminds me to also add my own opinion or views. This will result in the reader having more viewpoints on the subject.

This allows the subject to continue; individually we each have a limit to our ideas, together we can push those limits

the more people add onto other's work, the farther our limit will be. We can keep pushing the limit by extending a subject with our ideas where another person's idea ended.

This is a great example of how adding to another persons ideas rather than only giving your opinion adds credibility to your argument. Reader's are going to believe you more if you have other people's research and proof backing you up as well.

with multiple people bringing their ideas about a subject to the table, everyone will have a more diverse view of the subject as a whole

same idea I had in my previous annotation; your idea is not the ONLY correct way of thinking, it is just an ALTERNATE view

I think this refers to the idea of "constructive criticism." If you are going to critique someones work, do so in a way that gives them feedback on how they can improve their writing or idea in the future. Or simply state your alternative idea to the writing as another idea, rather than making an biased statement that your idea is right and theirs is wrong.

This reminds me of our discussion on forwarding in that we are not creating a new idea altogether, but rather adding on to a previous idea with some of our ideas or views attached. This will in hope bring another side to the subject and allow people to grasp a larger understanding of how the topic effects different people.

I think this question reminds us that behind every argument lies our intentions. What are we hoping to get out of this disagreement? Are our emotions influencing our disagreement? Have we personally felt hurt by an idea someone else proposes? It is important that we go into an argument aware of our intentions.

This relates to logos in that when you are persuading your reader about an argument you are making, you want to prove to them you are a credible source.

involving more people into this message or text

There's normally room to keep expanding on an idea

I think this is saying to use the ideas of the people before you but in your own words so your ideas are also present

I think this is very strict governing and in some ways reminds me of the governing system in the previous dystopian novels I've read.

I think this is interesting how the dystopian novels are warning kids of the threat of their reality and the government they live in

This word holds quite some weight in this story. The very existence of this race is thanks to Motherhood, the ability for these women to bear daughters for generation after generation. Motherhood is what has kept Herland sustained.

This sentence makes me cringe a bit. He is not helping his case and is being very close-minded. He is prideful towards his gender and makes it evident that he views men superior to women.

I think this sentence is valuable to this piece because it emphasis a common assumption in society that women are held to a lower standard than men, that there is a lack in gender equality.
