This is the rising action because it is something the main charater does that changes the stories pace and basically starts the plot of the whole story

This is an example of rising action, the tone is tense and then when Rainsford falls in the reader can sense that something will be happening soon.

Continued rising action: we are far enough into the novel that there's no real chance of Janie encountering a more suitable romantic interest. Seems inconceivable we have reached the climactic scene.

This speech emblematic of Janie finding her voice and using it.

Wow! This is a fairly amazing bit of characterization info for Janie. It suggests that her first "marriage" had been one of convenience, a business transaction between her grandmother and Logan. Her second "marriage" to Joe--a man who stood in such contrast to Logan--was based on the romantic fantasies of a dreamy girl; she realizes here that she's unfulfilled INSIDE, which is what matters most to any human being.

From this paragraph until the end of the third one down (just prior to the paragraph that begins "Janie stood where he left her") is some intense rising action and the signal of a major turning point for Janie: all of her Pear Tree Dreams have been systematically wiped away.

Further characterization of Joe; namely, how little he understands Janie (and women, generally).

Janie's power is increasing but is not full enough (nor has she yet been made to recognize it) to be wielded.

Foreshadows Janie's rebellion.

Janie's discontent swells.

Here we get the indirect evidence of Janie's unhappiness at Jody's hands.

NIce foreshadowing.

This foreshadows (I think at this point) the climax of the novel: Janie will stand up to a power that no one else (read: men) will dare oppose.

Jody's remark that precedes this paragraph shows how regardless he is of Janie's needs, assuming as he does that all a woman wants is wealth and status.

Hurston seems intent on demonstrating how little the men in the narrative are prone to consider anyone's feelings but their own, which stands in stark contrast to what it is that Janie desperately needs.

Any and all of the instances in which Janie is put down or neglected or objectified by Jody (or members of the Eatonville community), especially when her discomfort is revealed, is part of Rising Action. This passage also exemplifies the motif of Misogyny.

Theory of planned behaviour by Ajzen; veridical here means truthful. Three factors:

1. What is my attitude to the behaviour?
2. What do others think or I think others think towards my behaviour (normative belief)?
3. How much control I think or I believe I have towards my behaviour or what factors either make it easy or make it difficult for me to conduct my behaviour?

These will determine my intention to actually act my behaviour, and then intention precedes my actual conduct.

This is my understanding of the author's central research question and that she is looking to illicit a 'call-to-action' of sorts.

I wish this article had also looked at how much a given underrepresented group's graduation rate has changed as well (for the same group of schools). Even if a group's enrollment in top colleges has gone down, the data could show that a given group's graduation rate from those same colleges has increased over the same time period. Info on changes in enrollment and graduation rate would be so much more informative than studying each statistic alone.

How weak are we today? Where is our hisab? If any of the sahabah saw us Muslims today, they wouldn't think we are muslims at all by the way we spend our time.

Makes me think of Dr. Rivers spiel about traffic lights. Green light obviously means go, but we always hesitate. Because some people think yellow means speed up. That was the gist of it right? @sophist_monster

To be complemented by: Letters to a young artist by A.D. Smith

One, it's interesting to see Burke come out so confidently with a definition of rhetoric.

Second, this is a really interesting definition. It places a huge emphasis on the manipulative power of rhetoric. Its emphasis on action is also unique; while some writers have made flimsy connections between action and rhetoric in the past, Burke's firm assertion of such a connection makes him stand out from the pack. This definition seems uniquely qualified to explain protest, for example; a rhetorical act that is very specifically geared at producing some tangible action or change.

This is almost reminiscent of J.L. Austin's "How to Do Things with Words" and his theory surrounding performative utterances v. constative utterances. Language as direct action, or "speech-acts" and not mere nonsense.

Thereby implying that "ineffective literature" can be a thing and that the absence of rhetoric in literature can also be a thing. Which, idk, I'm not sure if I buy this. But I suppose that depends on my definition of rhetoric and also my definition of effective.

Language as action, not just description; rhetoric is not only reflective, but also integral to formation and motivation. Interesting to think about when considering Burke's historical context i.e. the early 20th century was marred by intensely violent acts such as wars, revolution, and genocide. Perhaps the physical omnipresence of violence contributed to a conceptualization of words as a kind of violence.

There you go: information is nothing without action!

This piece reminds me that concerns about equity in making (and, broadly, the so-called "Maker Movement") have become the focus of some very sharp learning scientists. Here are a few examples: Making Through the Lens of Power and Culture

Might we be edging into Dylan territory here?

This opens an interesting conversation about whose data and measures are more reliable. Given that we're in an election cycle, I've turned frequently to 538, how about others?

I appreciate reading this and wonder how other criteria might change our understanding of protest. And a question for Mark: Why were these five criteria chosen, were any discarded, and have any been added since this was published?

Chuck authors a wonderful blog.

Yes, though isn't this stance reflective of the individuals who create the source material, in this case news headlines? I'm curious about the interplay between human processes (from editorial meetings, to the creation of that which is newsworthy) and the automated - and how, to borrow from Mark, this reflects conviction.

While these may be "horrors" of another variety, I'm reminded of the recent effort by James Fallows at The Atlantic to chronicle "The Daily Trump: Filling a Time Capsule" so that readers might recall what remains so shocking about our daily political machinations.

Here's Jill Lepore's wonderful The Disruption Machine, my favorite critique of Christensen's schtick.

I'm curious why this automation matters, and how this relates to various human ambiguities - such as the nuance of meaning and interpretation - that invariably inform how we protest, why, for whom, and under what circumstances.

THIS is something I could learn more about.

purpose of article--a call to action.

How was this initiated?

I like articles and blog posts like this that have a call to action with a specific example of the action.
