1. Last 7 days
    1. They eat also nuts and acorns, artichokes, lilly roots, ground beans, and several other weeds and roots, that I know not.

      Yeah, when you live somewhere for multiple generations you figure it out.

    2. Though many times they would eat that, that a hog or a dog would hardly touch; yet by that God strengthened them to be a scourge to His people.

      I thought everyone on Earth were God's people, or is that only white people? I hate this lady so much it's not even funny.

    3. strangely did the Lord provide for them; that I did not see (all the time I was among them) one man, woman, or child, die with hunger.

      Now Mary, I know you think that the English are God's gift to humanity and that these stupid natives couldn't have survived on their own, but is it at all possible that they simply know how to survive in the conditions of the area they've inhabited for generations?

    4. I can but admire to see the wonderful providence of God in preserving the heathen for further affliction to our poor country.

      Your poor country? How are you going to diminish the impact of one of the most powerful colonizing forces in the history of the world?

    5. Shall there be evil in the City and the Lord hath not done it?

      Is she finally waking up to the absurdity of her own beliefs, or will this be short-lived as the rest of the reflection she's done?

    6. the enemy came upon our town, like bears bereft of their whelps, or so many ravenous wolves, rending us and our lambs to death.

      She compares the natives to animals, but she also compares the English to animals as well this time. It appears the English people she compares to animals are children, however, and they are represented as prey animals rather than predators. This both exemplifies how she views the natives as predatory (lacking perspective), and how she views children as things (although animals are not "things," they would've considered livestock property).

    1. To practice giving feedback and meta-revision strategies, make an argument for why the chapters in this book should be presented in a different order.Then, reflect: In your opinion, what is the most important chapter or section from this textbook, and why?

      i have no argument for chapters being in different orders, that in its self is opinion.i belive that its good how it is currently, also in my opinion i say the first, the mindset for learning, it creates a starting opinion of embracing your opinion and intrinsic motivation, also it creates that stage and it still represents itself throughout the chapters as you read

    2. The goal is to make you independent thinkers and learners

      To me, being an independent learner means evaluating information carefully, making my own decisions, and knowing when I need to revise my thinking.

    3. all parts of each process feed into, reflect, and build on each other recursively

      Reading gives me information, research provides evidence, and writing helps me organize my thinking. Each process can also lead me back to revise the others.

    4. learning, reading, writing, and research all involve similar applications of the same “recursive” processes.

      “Recursive” means that learning and writing do not follow a perfectly straight line. We often return to earlier steps to rethink, revise, and improve our work.

    1. another perspective and tips for writing an annotated bibliography

      always enjoy multiple perspectives on a subject, leads to more research and in turn more information

    2. Introduces the text’s title and author’s name (or organization) in the first sentence?

      This gives me a clear formula for beginning a summary: introduce the author, title, and central idea in the first sentence.

    3. Write brief summaries of each stage of thought

      Summarizing one section at a time may be easier than trying to summarize the entire article at once.

    4. Skim and become familiar with the text you are going to summarize and divide it into sections.

      Skimming first can help me understand the structure before I read the details. Dividing a long text into sections also makes it less overwhelming.

    5. annotated bibliography has three parts: summary, assessment, and reflection for each source.

      These three parts have different purposes: summary explains the source, assessment evaluates it, and reflection connects it to my research.

    6. it provides a summary of the source, in your own words

      Using my own words shows that I truly understand the source instead of simply copying the author’s language.

    1. organize your body paragraph topics based on the similar categories of ideas and claims that come from various authors.

      This gives me a clear way to create an outline. Each category can become the main topic of one body paragraphs.

    2. to cluster different authors or sources together based on similar ideas or claims, or similar categories of ideas.

      I can organize my essay by topics instead of discussing one source at a time. This can make the body paragraphs more connected.

    3. Write at least 2 to 3 main claims per source,

      This step helps me understand each source more deeply instead of reducing the whole article to only one general idea.

    4. is to begin connecting the ideas of various authors.

      This means that research writing is not just summarizing each source separately. I need to find relationships among different authors’ ideas.

    1. Todd Walker is an amazing Lecturer and Faculty Development Coordinator for the Writing Program of the SFSU English Department.

      even as a colorado student i enjoy that i can read and learn from sfsu peers on this curriculum

    1. So…can I use Wikipedia?

      I personally say yes, if you do more research to back up the opinion your looking for, its not a one size fits all platform

    1. After reading “Why Historical Thinking is NOT about History,” use evidence from the article to discuss why it is important to carefully evaluate the credibility of a source. What could be some consequences of spreading misinformation?

      i would personally express that the consequeces could be herding people into a false sense of security, throough false information. instead of knowing the correct facts you might hand the next person whos genuinly curious down the wrong road, creating a cycle that hurts a lot of people long term, essentually herding sheeps to slaughter or in sams winburgs words "slaves to the machine" in this case the machine being misinformation

    2. Google is a fine place to start, if you’re looking for popular sources. “Popular sources … are written by and intended for a general audience

      so more built on casual research that isnt peer reviewed, makes sense

    3. Scholarly sources have all gone through a process of “peer review,”

      Peer review makes a source more credible because other experts examine its evidence, methods, and arguments before publication.

    4. What do you think are the author’s biases?

      Even a knowledgeable author may have a bias, so readers should consider the author’s purpose and point of view.

    5. Google search results are heavily influenced by algorithms, keywords, advertisements, and even social biases.

      This reminds me that the first Google result is not always the most reliable. Search results can be influenced by algorithms and advertisements.

    6. Popular sources are not peer-reviewed, and they do not usually include a reference list” (

      Popular sources may provide useful information, but I need to evaluate them carefully because they are usually not peer-reviewed.

    1. our own stance or opinion on your question—before you do any research.

      i will always enjoy the concept of "its your own stance" gives the oppertunity for bias and opens that area up

    2. 4. Draft your Inquiry Question using “How,” “Why,” “In what ways,” or “To what extent,” in a way that elicits a conversation in which you will be interested in participating.

      why do people manipulate passion and in what way can it be influenced?

    3. 3. Once you have your issue, consider your stance. What do you think about this issue? What is your initial opinion? This is your working thesis.

      initally i never paid mind to it but after hearing bout real world by tate i did reseach and found out about the criminal sht, also worked in cut co and their whole pyramid model, but i was blind untill i heard clients say "i would but i got no money" i asked my boss he said "sucks to suck" or "i can give a discount" never cared for the person or the model of i have to ask family for refferals, even tho i know they have no money and are struggling, its fucked. thats my stance, also i can say i hate the concept of passion being used for someones gain, unless it helps, like i enjoy interships because you actually see and help within your field or a field to want to learn more of hands on. overall my opinion is a very passion feuled one that used to be taken advantage off and i hope others can find better ways of education or passions as a whole.

    4. 2. Once you have a Topic, narrow that down to an issue. An issue is anything that can be debated from multiple sides. For example, starting with the topic of Capitalism, and narrowing that down to the issue of homelessness in San Francisco.

      i say using peoples passion or money agaist communities, also some colleges do this process by upcharging. twisting the view that "you should go to this school" even tho that school is a online course on how to use a ai to setup a shop, people shell out 100+ dollars just to get screwed long term. so overall i say the twist of passion to be used agaist people such as "free world" by the tate brothers, its become a plaugue of present day education

    5. Start by brainstorming various experiences you can recall related to school, or another large institution. The goal will be to locate your own experiences within larger systems, or be able to relate your own experience to the experiences of others like you.

      on one hand my school carrear is good, they reletivly had no problems, but i can turn to sharks of "mc dojos" that plague genuine martial arts locations

    6. 3. Choose one of these issues to discuss: Why or how would your research of this issue represent an example of “intrinsic motivation” for you?

      through personal time spent with toxic people, made me want to learn what actual connection was which became its own motivation inward to find out what makes a good partner and what i should look for, making a both sides of the coin, knowing whats good and bad.

    7. 2. Why are these issues important to you?

      because relationships in the past were not built on a tinder or facbook dating, also the fact most people are 24/7 on social media their standards are insanly high for 0 reason besides, this popular person said "you need to be built like this" or "you make this much" its created a delusion filled dating scene for everyone

    8. 1. What are some personal experiences you have that relate to larger social issues?

      eh besides bullying, it was the bigger issue of present day relationships being very cheating or lying instead of how it was in the past, also i say the other end of people mooching, from people pleasing and screwing em over

    9. Kohn advocates for an education system that cultivates children’s authentic curiosity at a young age.

      suprisingly wished this process was more in these generations, instead of curiousity put down.

    10. Your working thesis is your preresearch stance, which means it will change through your research, reading and writing process

      A working thesis is my initial opinion before research. It can change as I learn new information and consider different perspectives.

    11. a meaningful Inquiry Question changes and gets revised throughout the entire research and writing process,

      A research question is not final at the beginning. We can revise it as we learn new information and discover different perspectives.

    12. problem posing” helps students see their own curiosity, interests, and “intrinsic motivation ”

      When I study a topic that interests me personally, I feel more motivated to read, research, and write about it.

    13. Paulo Freire calls this student-centered questioning process a matter of “problem-posing.

      Problem-posing gives students an active role because they ask questions about issues that affect their own lives.

    14. Kohn advocates for an education system that cultivates children’s authentic curiosity at a young age.

      I agree that education should develop students’ curiosity instead of focusing only on memorization and correct answers.

    1. and they told me I disgraced my master with begging, and if I did so any more, they would knock me in the head.

      Good! Absolute bum behavior from you Mary, I must say.

    2. Then I took it of the child, and eat it myself, and savory it was to my taste.

      Mary needs to get a grip immediately! Not only does she complain about the natives and how selfish and barbarous they are, but she steals food off of starving children! Food that she was bumming to begin with because she has none! What an upstanding lady.

    3. Then I went into another wigwam, where they were boiling corn and beans, which was a lovely sight to see, but I could not get a taste thereof.

      Yum! On a real note though, imagine walking into a stranger's kitchen and asking for some of the food that they made for their family. I'm sure some natives were more open to sharing than people in our culture, but like yeah obviously you couldn't get a taste Mary, get a grip lady.

    4. In this town there were four English children, captives; and one of them my own sister’s.

      God, she loves to mention her family that she doesn't give a fuck about when it makes her seem easier to sympathize with. Why does she have so many family members held in captivity by the natives? What did her family do?

    5. and along we went, but a wearisome day I had of it. As we went along I saw an Englishman stripped naked, and lying dead upon the ground, but knew not who it was.

      I wonder if this was done by the natives as a looting, as humiliation, or for some other reason I'm not thinking of?

    1. We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other “tangible” factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does.

      I like this, I feel like it ties in with LRE

    1. As college students on the threshold of the academic community, many of you probably think that research is about finding answers to a question given to you by your professor. While this may have been true in high school, we would like to propose that a more meaningful research process in college starts somewhere else, i

      seeing that new way of of asking questions, different then the standard that makes up old school traditional process of asking a teacher.

    2. Curiosity, Engagement: Develop your personal interests, passions, and experiences related to larger social issues into open-ended “Inquiry Questions” to guide your entire research process. Connect your ideas to those of other authors.

      being able to create personal enjoyment related to social issues and author makes it easier to remember and infer a wider opinion

    3. College research should be driven by open-ended questions

      An open-ended question cannot be answered with only “yes,” “no,” or one correct answer. We need to consider different viewpoints and opinions.

    4. Learn strategies for finding and evaluating knowledgeable sources

      I think evaluating sources is important because not all information online is credible and reliable. I should check the author, evidence, date, and publisher.

    5. Develop your personal interests, passions, and experiences related to larger social issues into open-ended “Inquiry Questions”

      The meaningful research question can begin with my own interests and life experiences. It should also connect to a larger social issue.

    1. Qualitative findings: Student interviews underscored a strongappreciation for Generative AI’s timely, personalized feedbackand its perceived utility in learning. However, outcomes wereoften constrained by prompt quality, and a concerning trend of“cognitive substitution”—where students bypassed deep thinking—was noted.

      The author mentioned "cognitive substitution" - that is, students bypassing deep thinking. They studied 15-year-old high school students. But what about younger students? If children start using artificial intelligence at the age of 8 or 10, could they possibly develop the habit of deep thinking? The author did not address the answer to this question and it requires long-term research to determine whether early reliance on artificial intelligence will hinder cognitive development.

    2. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the impactof Generative AI on the computational thinking of high schoolstudents within the context of Python text-based programming.The results indicate that, compared to traditional lecture-basedinstruction, Generative AI-assisted programming can significantlyenhance the computational thinking of high school students.

      This study used Python for text programming. However, Python is renowned for its concise syntax and readability, and is often recommended as the first programming language. Do these findings also apply to Java or C? The author believes that artificial intelligence can alleviate cognitive burden, but if the programming language itself is more difficult, artificial intelligence may not be capable.

    3. For instance,student S15 explicitly pointed out its complementary value:“After all, in class, the teacher is addressing many students,and it’s impossible for me alone to have the teacher tutor meone-on-one.

      The student's quote reveals a real problem in the field of education: teachers are unable to provide individualized attention to each student. Could artificial intelligence also serve as a solution for other subjects? This raises a question: Should artificial intelligence replace the attention of teachers, or should it allow teachers to free up time for more in-depth interpersonal interactions?

    4. Question 1: What is the impact of Generative AI on high-schoolstudents’ computational thinking (abstraction and decomposition,algorithmic modeling, pattern recognition and evaluation)?

      Guo et al. found a relatively large effect size, but their sample consisted only of 83 students from one high school. The study by Fan et al. (2025) involved 234 students from a university, with a similarly limited sample size. Both of these studies share similar limitations in terms of generalizability. This indicates a pattern in the research on AI-assisted programming: small, single-site studies have dominated the field.

    5. The Bebras CT Challenge was the test tool for computationalthinking in this study.

      I'm still not quite clear about what the Bebras CT challenge is. What types of questions does it contain? Are they multiple-choice questions, programming questions, or something else? The author should provide a clearer explanation for readers who are not familiar with CT assessment tools on this point.

    6. This study was conducted as a teaching practice researchwithin the regular educational environment in China, aimingto explore eective instructional strategies.

      This research was conducted in China, but the Chinese education system differs significantly from those in other countries. Can these findings be generalized to other cultural contexts?

    7. n a programming course,Yilmaz and Karaoglan Yilmaz (2023a) required students to useChatGPT for programming exercises. After a 5-week instructionalperiod, they found that undergraduate students’ computationalthinking skills, programming self-eÿcacy, and class engagementwere significantly higher than those of the control group.

      Yilmaz and Karaoglan Yilmaz (2023a) conducted a study that yielded some positive results, but their research only lasted for 5 weeks. Was this sufficient time to observe significant changes in computational thinking? The study by Guo et al. lasted for 12 weeks and seems to be more convincing.

    8. When using Generative AI for programming learning, itcan assist students in recalling syntax, functions, etc., therebyfreeing them from tedious syntax and time-consuming debugging.Students can then focus their valuable cognitive resources onenhancing higher-order thinking skills such as exploring the natureof problems, decomposing problems, and designing algorithm

      This assumes that students will actually utilize the released cognitive resources for higher-level thinking. But what if they simply use artificial intelligence to completely avoid thinking?

    9. Research confirms that learning programming syntax often leadsto frustration for programming novices, especially young students.Additionally, students commonly report that the testing anddebugging process is the most challenging aspect; when code fails torun as expected, students can easily become confused and frustrated(Leonard et al., 2021).

      The author claims that the complexity of the grammar is the fundamental cause of frustration. Has the author procided any data on how many students are truly struggling woth grammer and other issues?

    Annotators

    1. Influence of a Research Question

      1) Why is starting with a research question a good approach? It gives the researcher a clear understanding of what they are trying to find our and "record"

    2. Within an essay, poster, or research paper, the thesis is the researcher’s answer to the research question(s).

      Thesis should include the researcher's answer to the question. Tells the audience what your project will be about

    1. It’s worth remembering that reading, scanning, looking at, and listening to information resources is very useful during any step of the process to develop research questions.

      Background reading can be extremely beneficial when learning about a narrow topic. It creates a base layer of information before diving into sources.

    1. “spring”

      Key words can help narrow down a topic and find something interesting to you as a person. This seems like a good strategy even when a word is not assigned.

    2. narrow down until you’ve focused your interest enough to be able to tell precisely what you want to find out, instead of only what you want to “write about.”

      2) How narrow/broad should my research questions be? My research questions should narrowly be based on what I want to find out.

    1. (Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!)

      In the "Old 3" grouping of annotations, I found a particularly intriguing entry by sellliott, who highlighted this line. He says that not only is it a nod towards the element of transformation that Ariel performs on the Venetian King, but also an indication of "the corrupt and misguided morals of the urban world," because the King represents a historical type of greed and extreme power over a land. I agree with this interpretation and want to say that even beyond being a symbol of the ways that greed transforms a person, this passage relates to De Nerval's writing. In his dream journals, he comes to the realization that, "[everything] is alive, everything is in motion, everything corresponds;" (De Nerval, 10). Even though we know the King is not dead, Ariel presents in her song this exact notion. She transforms the king's decomposing body into a living coral reef; it grows from his corpse as the flowers grow from the corpse mentioned by Eliot later in the poem. She sings, "Of his bones are coral made; / Those are pearls that were his eyes: / Nothing of him that doth fade /But doth suffer a sea-change / Into something rich and strange" (Tempest, 12). In stating that "nothing of him that doth fade", Ariel reflects De Nerval's notion of continual existence beyond the physical body. Furthermore, his body suffers "sea change", not destruction, rather becoming a part of the web of existence that Nerval alludes to by saying "everything corresponds,". Finally, Eliot sets up an interesting play upon these stories with this line, almost in anticipation of the next stanza. While Ariel sings of the King's watery grave, in actuality his ship sits safely in a nearby harbor, where he and his crew are charmed asleep. However the fact that he's believed to be dead by his subjects and son, while still alive (albeit hindered, much like the Grail/fisher King) puts the king in a suspended state between life and death. This interplay between life and death is a really prevalent theme in the "Unreal City" stanza, where almost everything except for the stream of mourners seems to still and lay dormant/hidden in the fog. It also adds to the trail of depression/the chokehold that grief has on people as a result of WW1 that Eliot continues laying throughout this poem.

      • Also the king is in a state of life/death (not acually dead, but he's held between the two in a forever slumber). . .
    2. I had not thought death had undone so many.

      I find this specific line quite interesting in that it is not actually a direct quotation from Dante's Inferno. Dante states "I could not believe death had undone so many" while witnessing the masses who have been rejected from both heaven and hell and are thus stuck in a limbo of sorts. This clearly mirrors how Elliot portrays British society at the time, a mass of hollow people, who are unfulfilled, and are essentially the living dead. The interesting distinction in the way Elliot utilizes this comparison is that the narrator says "I had not thought" rather then "I could not believe". I think that this thus positions the narrator in a state of realization at the scale of the "living dead" as opposed to Dantes pure shock and disbelief. Furthermore, I find the fact that the word undone is used as opposed to death quite important, as these people are still technically alive, yet are internally empty, their humanity and spirituality having been undone through industrialization, war and a loss of faith.

    3. Under the brown fog of a winter dawn, A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many, I had not thought death had undone so many.

      Eliot’s description of the crowd in “The Waste Land” connects both to Baudelaire’s “The Seven Old Men” and to Dante’s Inferno, presenting the modern city as a place of anonymity, repetition, and spiritual death. The image of the “brown fog of a winter dawn” immediately creates a dark and unhealthy atmosphere: the adjective “brown” makes London seem dirty and polluted, while “fog” obscures the city and suggests confusion. Eliot then writes that “a crowd flowed over London Bridge,” using the verb “flowed” to make the people seem less like individual human beings and more like a single, continuous mass. This loss of individuality connects to Baudelaire’s repeated old men: the seven identical figures suggest that poverty and suffering are not isolated but endlessly repeated throughout the modern city. Eliot’s phrase “so many” emphasizes the enormous number of people, showing that all people are the same – sad, depressed, suffering, they are all like images of each other, symbolizing the spiritual emptiness of London. “Death had undone so many” transforms the living crowd into something resembling the dead souls in Dante’s “Inferno”. This kind of contrast with de Nerval’s idea that “everything is alive, everything is in motion, everything corresponds”, where there is hope for the better future, that the humanity can be saved and that it is possible to restore universal harmony, which we don’t see in Eliot’s “the Waste Land” yet, however, towards the end the repeated “shantih” shows that the world can be saved. Right now it is important for Eliot to describe the atmosphere, set the scene, so everything that he writes is quite hopeless and depressing. The verb “undone” is especially important because it suggests that modern urban life has spiritually destroyed or emptied these people even though they are physically alive. Finally, the “dead sound” of the clock at nine reinforces this atmosphere of lifelessness. Don’t really understand why “nine” specifically, but I guess it is just supposed to symbolize the cyclical nature of life Eliot combines Baudelaire’s vision of the alienating modern city with Dante’s image of an anonymous crowd of the dead, suggesting that modern London is a place where people are alive physically but spiritually disconnected and almost indistinguishable from the dead.

    4. A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many, I had not thought death had undone so many. Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled, And each man fixed his eyes before his feet.

      In Inferno III, Dante encounters an enormous mass of souls: “Behind it came so long a file of people / that I could not believe / death had undone so many.” So many of the souls are stripped of individuality and merged into a single moving crowd. Dante realizes these are people who lived “without disgrace yet without praise.” Eliot references this image when he writes, “A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many, / I had not thought death had undone so many.” He uses the verb “flowed,” which suggests the crowd moves like a river. There’s a sense of passivity and loss of agency. There’s no passion or purpose in these people to move faster. Individuals also disappear into a collective current. Eliot references Dante’s damned souls when describing modern London commuters, implying that the city itself resembles an infernal landscape. The speaker says, “Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled, / And each man fixed his eyes before his feet.” The restrained “sighs” echo the sounds of suffering in Dante’s Hell, where “sighs, loud wailing, lamentation” fill the air. However, the people in The Waste Land barely sigh. Their spiritual exhaustion has become normalized and unconscious. The image of each man staring at his feet reinforces this condition. Their downward gaze suggests isolation, alienation, and a lack of higher purpose. Eliot suggests that the true horror of The Waste Land is not physical death but a form of living death: a society whose inhabitants continue their daily routines while remaining spiritually disconnected and directionless.

    1. it’s worth remembering that a frustrating path might be more fruitful than an easier AI-assisted path

      "It is worth remembering that a frustrating path might be more fruitful than an easier AI-assisted path"

      This quote stood out to me clearly because it is an issue that has been on my mind for a while. The issue of taking the easy what out is always something that humans have struggled with. Always looking for shortcuts and replacements. Whether it be to increase efficiency or take the weight of someone's shoulders, it is not necessarily a bad thing. However, with AI those shortcuts are becoming more accessible than ever it is also more important than ever to ask why are we doing this? What am I sacrificing by taking this shortcut?

    1. I argue that these separations should guide judgments about public support for nationally connected pools.

      If this sentence is the author's core thesis, the reader is not prepared by the preceding introductory sentences -- nor in the subsequent body of the abstract to fully grasp what the author means, nor why it is a basis for moral life (or moral evaluation at the individual, pool, marketplace, or nation-level?)

      I am infering the author's intent is to suggest that the "transactional footprints of individual (local) commitment pool activity" can be aggregated into region/nation-level commitment pools platforms that support more "collectively moral" (meta-efficient?) practices and architecture for supporting aggregate improvements in co-regulation of coordination, responsiveness, and ethics."

      I then anticipated further elaboration by the author on what is is meant by the capabilities arising from these nationally connected pools.

      Not sure I missed something obvious to others? If other readers (or author?) of this abstract, can illuminate my understanding / inferences more accurately, the guidance is appreciated..

    1. An individual deer may be killed in a forest fire regardless of how many deer happen to be in that area. Its chances of survival are the same whether the population density is high or low. The same holds true for cold winter weather.

      really?

    1. Kraft and its former executives are being held accountable for placing the pursuit of cost savings above compliance with the law.

      This text provoked my thoughts, and I felt it related to what we read because it shows how business decisions and ethics can affect a company. In this case, Kraft wanted to show cost savings, but the company used incorrect accounting information to make the savings look better than they really were. This reminded me of what we read about following rules, being honest, and making responsible business decisions. Also, I found this thought-provoking because a company may want to save money and look successful, but if it does this by breaking rules or giving false information, it can hurt investors and the company itself. Being successful in business is not only about making money; companies also need to be honest and follow the law.

    1. So like were these barbarous creatures to him who was a liar from the beginning.

      So maybe she's not being completely dramatic and these natives are really messing with her for their own amusement/gain, I don't know that I agree with the dehumanization of them though. Thomas Read could also be lying to lift her mood, who knows?

    2. Then also I took my Bible to read, but I found no comfort here neither, which many times I was wont to find.

      She's definitely at a low point, she usually won't shut up about the bible and God's grace.

    3. I thought of the English army, and hoped for their coming, and being taken by them, but that failed.

      She is always relying on someone else to help her, she takes almost no initiative to get herself back to where she wants to be although she has proven herself able to survive on her own.

    4. but when I was without, and saw nothing but wilderness, and woods, and a company of barbarous heathens, my mind quickly returned to me,

      She's constantly flipping the script on these folks. One minute they're friends of hers and the next they're barbarous creatures.

    5. He answered me that such a time his master roasted him, and that himself did eat a piece of him, as big as his two fingers, and that he was very good meat.

      I wonder if they're just saying that to get to her or if they actually ate her son. I believe there were cannibalistic tribes of natives recorded around the area that this account would have taken place.

    6. Here one asked me to make a shirt for her papoose, for which she gave me a mess of broth, which was thickened with meal made of the bark of a tree, and to make it the better, she had put into it about a handful of peas, and a few roasted ground nuts.

      Another example of her being treated as an equal. If her labor were truly being exploited like a slave, she would not have gotten anything in return.

    7. Instead of going toward the Bay, which was that I desired,

      She's a little harsh on the natives. I mean, obviously she's being held captive, but they are making an effort to bring her back home it seems and they aren't just going to go out of their way to stop somewhere that grants them nothing.

    1. Robert D. Hare, a University of British Columbia psychology professor and FBI consultant, compares the profile of the contemporary profitable business corporation to that of a clinically diagnosed psychopath. The Corporation attempts to compare the way corporations are systematically compelled to behave with what it claims are the DSM-IV's symptoms of psychopathy, e.g., the callous disregard for the feelings of other people, the incapacity to maintain human relationships, the reckless disregard for the safety of others, the deceitfulness (continual lying to deceive for profit), the incapacity to experience guilt, and the failure to conform to social norms and respect the law.
    1. and through the good providence of God, I had a comfortable lodging that night.

      Why does she never accept the kindness of strangers at face value?

    2. on a sudden my mistress gives out; she would go no further, but turn back again, and said I must go back again with her,

      Why? What is going on?

    3. But the thoughts of my going homeward (for so we bent our course) much cheered my spirit, and made my burden seem light, and almost nothing at all.

      If they're bringing her home and treating her as an equal, why does she keep complaining?

    4. I complained it was too heavy, whereupon she gave me a slap in the face, and bade me go;

      Maybe because the community just lost a child she is angry that Mary would complain about carrying a heavy load? Or, maybe they are just being cruel to her because she is their prisoner, although given the somewhat equal way they seem to treat her, this might not be true.

    5. This morning I asked my master whether he would sell me to my husband. He answered me “Nux,” which did much rejoice my spirit.

      It's interesting that she is requesting to be sold back to her husband rather than released as a free woman, does she not see a place for herself in a society without subjugation to a man?

    1. 6,3b1 1 Diese logische Formulierung lässt sich auch soziologisch oder psychologisch fassen: Niemand weiss sich gern vollkommen gleich mit anderen. Vielmehr gibt es ein recht starkes Bedürfnis nach Auszeichnung vor und Unterscheidung von den anderen und niemand wäre mit einer Gesellschaftsordnung absoluter Standarti- sierung ohne Raum für persönliche Besonderheiten, Chancen etc. zufrieden. Aber die Bereiche, in denen Gleichheit und andererseits Ungleichheit gesucht wird, wechseln. Vgl. dazu auch Mannheims (DP, S. 83ff.) Ausführungen über desirable and undesirable equality

      3b1 1 Esta formulación lógica también puede expresarse en términos sociológicos o psicológicos: a nadie le gusta considerarse completamente igual a los demás. Más bien existe una necesidad bastante fuerte de destacar y diferenciarse de los demás, y nadie estaría satisfecho con un orden social de estandarización absoluta, sin espacio para las particularidades personales, las oportunidades, etc. Sin embargo, los ámbitos en los que se busca la igualdad y, por otro lado, la desigualdad, varían. Véanse al respecto también las reflexiones de Mannheim (DP, pág. 83 y ss.) sobre la igualdad deseable y la indeseable.

    1. 2,2b1 1 noch mehr: als Idee hat jeder Staat seinen bestimmten Ort, der ihn wesentlich prägt. Als Idee ist der Staat "Einheit von Ordnung und Ortung" (C. Schmitt, Der Nomos der Erde, S. 13ff.). Diese Formel, die Schmitt für das Recht allgemein geprägt hat, gilt in noch besonderem stärkerem Masse für den modernen Staat. vgl. auch Schmitt, S. 98ff. Der moderne Staat füllt einen bestimmten impermeablen Raum aus, das heisst: 1.) die Eigenart dieses Raumes prägt den Charakter des konkreten Staates (für sich genommen). 2.) Es ist ein Teilraum; daraus ergibt sich eine bestimmte Lage zu anderen Staaten

      2,2b1 1 Y aún más: como idea, cada Estado tiene su lugar específico, que lo caracteriza de manera esencial. Como idea, el Estado es «unidad de orden y ubicación» (C. Schmitt, Der Nomos der Erde, p. 13 y ss.). Esta fórmula, que Schmitt acuñó para el derecho en general, se aplica con especial intensidad para el Estado moderno. Véase también Schmitt, pág. 98 y ss.

      El Estado moderno ocupa un espacio determinado e impermeable, es decir:

      1.) La peculiaridad de este espacio determina el carácter
      del Estado concreto (tomado en sí mismo).
      
      2.) Se trata de un subespacio; de ello se deriva una
      posición determinada respecto a otros Estados, que que también contribuye a dar forma al Estado.

    1. RR e e a a dd y y o o uu r r pp a a pp e e r r a a l l o o uu dd . . Sometimes your ears catch inconsistencies that your eyes miss.

      This is a very helpful skill. Reading aloud will help catch any flow issues or things you might not notice with just your eyes. I prefer my essays to sound like how I would normally speak. This usually helps me find where commas need to go or other grammar issues like that.

    2. While the revision stage of the writing process focused on clarifying what you write (your ideas), theediting and proofreading stages focus on how you write—you express those ideas.

      I am glad this was clarified. Revision is good for making sure your essay is organized and all the concepts you want are there. Editing is good for making the small details make sense in the essay. More of if your words make sense or not and how your style is throughout the essay.

    1. While there is undoubtedly some scope to improve health equity throughinterventions that address low health literacy, and help to develop critical health literacy in popu-lations, this approach should not be regarded as a substitute for the need to tackle the root causesof inequity (

      Improving health literacy can help reduce disparities, but it cannot replace addressing the larger social and economic causes of inequity.

    2. Even a person with a high level of observable health literacy skills may experience real challengesin applying those skills in an unfamiliar environment (such as a hospital) or in interacting with aperson (such as a doctor) whom they find intimidating

      This shows that health literacy is not just about what someone knows; the healthcare environment can also affect their ability to use that knowledge.

    1. Generative AI tools might also be considered as your developing and refining a research question. GenAI can be especially useful during these early stages of the research process.

      Generative AI would be a great source for background information on the topic you're researching! It provides you with just enough information fo you to understand the basics of the topic but will leave you with questions that should entice the writer to do further research.

    2. A research question should be clear, focused, and concise to guide your investigation. Your research question should inform the structure and contents of your project and everything you cite should be related to your research question in some way.

      Clear guidelines on what is expected out of the writer's research question. It's important to note that the question should not be just a 'yes' or 'no' kind of question. A more simple way to understand this: your thesis should be able to answer your research question by backing up, or negating, the claim using at least 3-5 sources of credible information.

    1. When you revise to improve organization, look at the flow of ideas throughout the whole essay andwithin individual paragraphs.

      Organization is very important in essays. It is easy to get ahead of yourself when writing, especially when it is about something so personal. I improve my organization by making my key topics I want to cover, then writing my intro and conclusion, making sure to mention all of them before diving into the actual essay.

    2. Revise and edit in stages: do not expect to catch everything at once. Each time you review your essay,focus on a different aspect of construction so that you will be more likely to catch any mistakes oridentify any issues. This chapter contains checklists that identify specific things to look for with eachrevision.

      I really like this advice. I have a hard time re-reading my work. I like the strategy of revising in stages. I agree that it will make you more likely to catch any mistakes. Adding peer review in your stages is also very helpful because of how hard it is to catch your own mistakes.

    1. The preponderance of the evidence shows that mediated campaigns typicallyhave limited direct effects on most health behaviors; specifically, data suggest that although cam-paigns are capable of exerting moderate to powerful influence on cognitive outcomes,

      This makes me question how we should define a campaign as successful if people learn from it but do not actually change their behavior.

    2. g whether the audience regards the content and style as informative, believable, motivating,convincing, useful, on target, and enjoyable rather than too preachy, disturbing, confusing, irritating,

      This shows why testing messages with the target audience first is so important. What health experts think is effective may not be received the same way by the public.

    1. Kreon is resolvedISMENE:to honour one of our brothers with burialthe other not

      E: I looked up the name "Kreon" in my background knowledge (Source: Greek mythology). Kreon is the new King of Thebes and he is also the uncle of Antigone. He makes a strict law: one brother (Eteokles) gets a proper burial, but the other brother (Polyneikes) must be left to rot in the wilderness. This is important because in ancient Greece, not burying a body was a huge desecration to the gods and the family. This explains why Antigone is so angry and feels she must break the law.

    2. :don't say another worddon't be that stupidgodsmixedupin thisyou demented old men

      Q: Why is Kreon so angry when the Chorus suggests that the gods might be helped to bury the Polyneikes? He calls them "stupid" and "demented." If he was really not believe in the gods, or is he just too proud to do the right thing like Antigone? I don't understand why he refuses to listen to the old men. I want to ask the class if Kreon's anger is because he is afraid of losing his power.

    3. we fell to blowseach of us was the guilty oneno one for surewho could be sure

      O: I notice a strong contrast here. The guards are a team, they need to help each other and think about the difficult things, but as soon as they find out someone buried the body, they turn on each other. They start fighting and accusing each other. It has a significantly contrast with Antigone. Antigone stands alone for what she thinks right, but the guards are terrified and quick to blame others. This shows that fear makes people selfish and divides them

    1. healthcommunication alone is insufficient,

      This shows that giving people health information is not enough if social or economic barriers prevent them from actually following the recommendations.

    2. Second, with new issues comes rapidly evolving science, which can giverise to the appearance of expert disagreement or conflicting information

      How can public health officials communicate changing evidence without making people feel like the science cannot be trusted?

    1. Knowing what types of information you need will help you be more efficient and successful in your research.

      Before college, when I was assigned a research project about a specific topic, I used to google the topic and select the top search results as reliable sources. However, looking back on it, I believe understanding exactly what kind of evidence or information is needed about said topic will significantly help the reader out in not only presenting the research, but better understanding the topic as well.

    1. . In otherwords, as scientific quality decreased, engagement (such as views and likes) increased.

      This suggests that being accurate may not be enough. How can public health information compete if misinformation is more engaging and easier to understand?

    2. The authors found that initially in-correct knowledge often led individuals to search for information on irrelevant websites and toseek out data that would confirm their initial incorrect hypothesis. T

      This makes me wonder how much misinformation is reinforced by the way people search rather than just what information exists online.

      1. Why do good people sometimes behave badly online? 2.Why does moral outrage spread so quickly on social media? 3.What can be done to reduce online bullying and abuse? 4.How does anonymity affect people's behavior online? 5.How do social media algorithms influence people's behavior?
    1. My predictions for this article: -Why people behave differently online vs in person. (keyboard warriors) -How social media can encourage anger, bullying, and bad behavior. -Why people help in some situations but become aggressive in others. -Possible ways to make online communities/places more positive.
