many theological and musical conversations
I love this thought! When do we ever have conversations like that anymore? Although I want to critique: we have this image of people in the past always talking about important things, but they surely spoke often about weather or food too. That can be assumed to the point of not mentioning it, so there's only need to comment on the AMAZING convos but that creates the false impression, right? What I really want to say is at least once in your life, you should have a conversation so great and wild that you can tell a narrative JUST ABOUT THE CONVO ")

"people remember through photographs but that they remember only the photographs ... that the photographic image eclipses other forms of understanding—and remembering. ... To remember is, more and more, not to recall a story but to be able to call up a picture" (p. 94).
Such an sharp observation. That the text of any communication might be what really lasts in our audience's mind, not the thoughts themselves makes language even more of a concrete reality. Remember in Unit #1 how we discussed HOW things are said not just WHAT is said? Same principle here.

camp
I think this is such an interesting term for "low" art (meaning art that is either produced by simple or inexpensive means and/or has a less-than-elevated purpose). Without visiting the link here, I've always assumed that "camp" or "campiness" was a description built around some idea of a camp or camping as a cheap, low-brow, maybe even "dirty" (as in "filthy") activity. Whenever my family and I went camping, we often invented games and activities to pass the time that, before Sontag, would never have been seen as artistic. Our personal narratives continue to reveal themselves as we read about other perspectives!

Franklin did not perform this experiment in the way that is often pictured in popular literature, flying the kite and waiting to be struck by lightning, as it would have been dangerous
This is the popular myth of the event, and we'll talk about myth in Unit #4. The fascinating thing about myths is that they communicate true information in an untrue narrative ")

When denied the chance to write a letter to the paper for publication, Franklin adopted the pseudonym of "Silence Dogood", a middle-aged widow. Mrs. Dogood's letters were published and became a subject of conversation around town.
I see a theme here of Franklin choosing names and "characters" that help him get the word out. There must have been some interest in the opinions and arguments of a widow at that time, perhaps due to the unforgiving nature of the "New World" (ugh) and lots of women losing their husbands to accident / fights over land or resources.

I find this last paragraph fascinating. Of course it's a closing, and smartly suggests a future in which MLK is not imprisoned. But after considering the whole situation, is it surprising that MLK can even SPEAK of his "jailers" as friends? It is a deeper connection to the Christian argument and a signal that opposition should not stand in the way of work but inspire it.
