    1. Elder Brother and th e~ tne f to horn m on the conversa-looks. I realized for the f1·rstet. enantd armher both gave me sinister ime to ay t at the · • eyes was just the same as what 1 . h expression m theirJ ,:.. ,_, As I think of it now a sh. , saw m t ose people on the street. ~., clear down to the tips o' f iver s running from the top of my head , my toes. If they re capable of eatin I eat me?

      The feeling that this quote gives me is that, it might seem that everyone is out to get him because they want to consume his body. People in the town seem to have hated him, as it was shown before because of the looks they gave him, so they wanted to eat him. Here it is demonstrated that he is well aware of the situation since they did the same thing to a "bad" man. Since he's cured of his paranoia perhaps that is the reason why they want to eat him. He has no doubts they will try to kill him just to consume him since he clearly states "If they are capable of eating people, the who's to say they won't eat me?" Which is an understandable idea to assume in his case.

    2. lear down to the tips o' f iver s running from the top of my head , my toes.

      This statement is repeated twice, once on page 30 and on this page again. As we know, repetition is used to bring attention to an idea, and often emphasize its importance. This repetition, not only makes me understand what he feels (because there's things that I think about, that give me the same exact feeling), but it also makes understand why he "can never get to sleep at night". He's so haunted by this thought of cannibalism, and how he can be the next victim, that if he thinks about this at night, I understand that it might be impossible to get any sleep, especially after getting a shiver that's twice as intense (because he mentions it twice), running from the top of his head down to the tips of his toes. If we analyze this statement, we'll notice that this shiver starts on his head, which means it also awakens and freezes his mind, and if his mind is frozen (since we know that the brain controls body movements), then his entire body is frozen, hence why he feels that "shiver" through his entire structure.

    3. "Why are you talking about this kind of thing anyway? You really know how to ... uh ... how to pull a fellow's leg. Nice weather we're having."

      In the dialogue, the ellipses show that the talker pauses shortly in his sentence. When the talker says "uh" and changes the subject to the weather, it shows how right the "madman" is. It is like the roles have reversed. The "madman" is not the ill one anymore because everyone else is mad for eating people. Also, I notice that the topic of cannibalism is sensitive. Society accepts cannibalism, but it is not a topic that people talk about openly. This dialogue is the first conversation that seems like it is not in the madman's head. Every other encounter, the madman interprets people's facial expressions as wanting to eat him. This dialogue makes me wonder why society is being secretive about cannibalism if they know that everyone does it because it is the norm? Also, does this dialogue prove that the madman is getting better? The fact that he can have a real interactive conversation that it is not in his head seems like there is some change.

    4. There were seven or eight other people who had their heads together whispering about me. They were afraid I'd see them too! All up and down the the street people acted the same way. The meanest looking one of all spread his lips out wide and actually smiled at me! A shiver ran from the top of my head clear down to the tips of my toes, for I realized that meant they already had their henchmen well de-ployed, and were ready to strike.

      When I first read this book I was confused but after reading this line it was clear that this man was obviously paraniod and told himself things that were not true. He thought everyone was going to eat him. Every time someone looked in his direction or smiled at him he thought they were going to attack him. It makes me think did he witness something or maybe something tragic happened in his life to make him think someone is going to eat him alive?

    5. A shiver ran from the top of my head clear down to the tips of my toes, for I realized that meant they already had their henchmen well de-ployed, and were ready to strike.

      At first i thought why did he shiver, but then i realized what will happen. I felt the shiver run through me once I read the end of the sentence. The author gave us a feeling of showing and not telling. The fact that this man is fearful and knows what's going on and still goes out shows how strong he is. A reader can picture what is going on by how the author is explaining the looks and how the character felt from the other sentences above. I believe from this, he is a strong character since he is walking around knowing what's going to happen.

    1. There's little Tom Dacre, who cried when his headThat curled like a lamb's back, was shaved, so I said,"Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head's bare,You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair."

      I'm assuming Tom Dacre's a child.

      The Narrator points out that Tom's head being shaved is not too bad in the grand scheme of things, and could be worse, as with the end of life and old age.

    2. There's little Tom Dacre, who cried when his headThat curled like a lamb's back, was shaved, so I said,"Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head's bare,You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.

      Describing Tom Dacre's shaven head as a lamb's helps emphasis the innocence of the young children who had to work in these jobs. Also , it shows the lamb and the children having the same innocence as they both came from god.

    1. You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.

      the sorrows of your mind cannot plague you when your head is bare ( figuratively when your mind is devoid of thought)

    1. You used to run in the old days and you fi gure you need something to keep you out of your head. You must have needed it bad, because once you get into the swing of it you start run-ning four fi ve six times a week. It’s your new addiction.

      Yunior needs something new to keep his adrenaline running. It’s an easy way to keep his mind occupied with something else other than women. Although later Yunior does suffer from multiple health issues, he later figures out what might be best for him.

    2. So now it’s your feet, your back, and your heart. You can’t run, you can’t do yoga. You try riding a bike, thinking you’ll turn into an Armstrong, but it kills your back. So you stick to walking. You do it one hour each morning and one hour each night. Th ere is no rush to the head, no tearing up your lungs, no massive shock to your system, but it’s better than nothing.

      Yunior's dedication to some sort of exercise shows that he is very concerned with his own self improvement. He uses Yoga, biking and running as ways to distract himself from his destructive ways to the point of near torture as he keeps getting injured from his exercises but he continues to search for some sort of escape from having to directly confront his issues because he feels like he can't handle it if he had no other option.

    1. “Looking at the bumps and shapes of a head does not help you understand the true genetic ancestry of a population—we have proved that you can have people who look very different but are closely related.”

      Morphology does not equal specimens being the same. Even in species of lower classification with less variation, we know that is true. With humans, who show incredible variation, this is especially true- pointing out the need for genetic and molecular methods to get to the true basis of relationships between people and people groups.

    1. "I think the crime rate would rocket if that sword of Damocles didn't exist over a young defendant's head."

      Why? This sounds an awful lot like a human version of like "If there is no hell why not go murder and rape everyone".

    1. But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,

      The Biblical parallelism here is referring to John the Baptist's beheading. He is saying that even though he has cried, fasted, and prayed, he will still face death. I read this as somewhat of a lament, because even though he could do the "right" things, death is still inevitable and he is grieving that ahead of time.

    2. Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,I am no prophet

      This is yet another refrence to the bible, referring to John the Baptist, the man who baptized Jesus and died after the stepdaughter of a powerful king asked for his head on a platter. It is now one of the most sought after Christain relics, though no one knows if the head they pocess is truly John's. Prufrock is essentially saying he doesn't want to be confused for a prophet and shouldn't be taken seriously in that sense.

    3. Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,I am no prophet —and here’s no great matter;

      I feel like this is another reference to death and that his head being brought in upon a platter is like his life is being served up to him and that his time is ending. However he states that he's not a prophet and to lighten the mood rhymes it with it not being a great matter. So he is trying to dissuade himself from thinking that his life is ending by going along with he doesn't know what he is talking about.

    4. With a bald spot in the middle of my hair —(They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”)My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin —(They will say: “But how his arms and legs are thin!”

      These 5 lines in the stanza describe the speaker's physical appearance. He says that he dresses in nice clothes, but he is afraid of people taking notice of his balding head and his thin arms and legs. This could show the speaker's insecurities. He knows he is not attractive and he tries to make up for it by wearing nice clothes. He seems to be imagining that people will notice his flaws, which is why he predicts that others will comments on his hair and thin limbs.

    1. The Second Coming!

      What comes to mind about this phrase is an aspect of religion, especially in the Bible. In the Bible, the Second Coming is regarding the future, the return of Jesus Christ after he ascended into heaven, and it is talked about in the book of Revelation, (ironically, during the due time on Easter). I do think that Yeats brings in a religious aspect. However, I don't think it is in any way Christianity because, in the following line, he talks about Spiritus Mundi, which I believe is another spiritual figure mixed with a lion and the head of a man. (Side note: that description of Spiritus Mundi, reminds me of Narnia.)

    2. gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

      This simile stands out to me, as I have noticed it is the only simile in the entire poem. It emphasizes the vast "pitiless" the sun offers us, and makes it almost evil which I believe is contrary to our perception of the sun. Traditionally sun is associated with light, warmth, life, and happiness yet in this poem Yeats associates the sun with the mass destruction that is coming. Pitiless makes me think that the sun spares no one in it's destruction which really emphasizes the negative light this lion with a man's head is to bring. I think this simile is important to the poem as a whole as it contributes to the destruction this second coming will bring.

    3. shape with lion body and the head of a man

      This seems to me to be an allusion to the Sphinx. In Greek tragedy Oedipus, the Sphinx gives riddles to passerbys of Thebes and killed those who could not answer the riddle (Citation. This allusion may be meant to evoke the horror of Oedipus killing his father and marrying his mother, something obviously horrendous.

    1. Illustration of the muscles of the head that allows for facial expressions and movement of the face

      This links the mind to the physical body. Our mind takes in our observations and sensations of the physical world and projects our emotions and feelings by using our facial muscles to change facial expressions to ones that appropriately match the emotion. We must use our physical body to communicate what our mind has concluded.

    1. In one experience, a fellow researcher spent over a month researching a particular value among our customers through qualitative and quantitative data. She presented a well-written and evidence-backed report. Yet, a few days later, a key head of product outlined a vision for the team and supported it with a claim that was antithetical to the researcher’s findings! Even if a data science project you advocate for is greenlighted, you may be on your own as the rare knowledgeable person to plan and execute it. It’s unlikely leadership will be hands-on to help you research and plan out the project.

      Data science leadership is sorely lacking

    1. s “very consistent with findings in people who have experienced trauma of various kinds,” the head researcher said, but there was no dream content involving airplanes or tall towers.)

      This might be because the tradgedy didn't prsonally affect the majority of the bystanders.

    1. She stood up in a sudden impulse of terror.

      This is the first noticeable movement in the story. Everything before now has been internal thoughts within her head. The first movement is sparked by the terror she feels about what her father might do to her which is significant. Her feelings of self preservation from her father is what moves the story forward.

    1. How do dogs communicate with us? Dog communication is the transfer of information between dogs, as well as between dogs and humans. Behaviors associated with dog communication are categorized into visual and vocal. Visual communication includes mouth shape and head position, licking and sniffing, ear and tail positioning, eye gaze, facial expression, and body posture.

      a very efficient opening--good. Remember to cite author when borrowing

    1. Thrombosis of the internal jugular veins caused by blunt trauma can occur unilaterally or bilaterally and is often discovered incidentally because most patients are asymptomatic. Bilateral thrombosis can aggravate cerebral edema in patients with serious head injuries; stent placement should be considered in such patients if ICP remains elevated.

      blunt trauma can cause thrombosis of int jugular veins asymptotically, can cause cerebral edema if bilateral in serious head inj, and if ICP remained elevated stenting should be considered

    2. After initial stabilization, a systematic physical examination of the head and neck should be performed that also includes cranial nerve examination and three-dimensional CT scanning of the maxillofacial complex

      systematic PE of head-neck like CN exam and maxillofacial 3d CT should be considered after initial stabilization

    1. Great first draft! Some spelling and grammar errors but that is expected. It also shows you just wrote what was on your mind which is important for a first draft! Anyways, as you head into your second draft, i would try to maintain much of the same plot, maybe eliminate some side pieces to the story and elaborate on some of the points i alluded to in the annotations. Overall, a job well done. I can see the parts of the story that were drawn from in class assignments which is cool. The tech used in the story is very cool considering it takes place only 5 years in the future. That also makes it very scary at the same time. But the tech is very good and rooted in science which makes it cool. The plot is also very good and intriguing. Just keep it up in your second draft and keep the base of your story the same!

    1. Neil Harbisson, a colorblind artist from Barcelona who persuaded a doctor to implant a camera in the back of his head. The antenna, as he calls it, essentially lets Harbisson listen to colors by detecting the dominant color in front of him and translating it into musical notes.

      I think that wanting to see all of the colors is fine and even making something that allows you to detect them is fine, but I don't see the benefit to implanting it into your body.

    1. Peer acceptance is a big thing for adolescents, and many of them care about their image as much as a politician running for office, and to them it can feel as serious. Add to that the fact that kids today are getting actual polling data on how much people like them or their appearance via things like “likes.” It’s enough to turn anyone’s head. Who wouldn’t want to make herself look cooler if she can? So kids can spend hours pruning their online identities, trying to project an idealized image. Teenage girls sort through hundreds of photos, agonizing over which ones to post online. Boys compete for attention by trying to out-gross one other, pushing the envelope as much as they can in the already disinhibited atmosphere online. Kids gang up on each other.

      I feel like everyone compares themselves to other people on social media when people only post the best parts of them. People also use photo shop and so people are comparing themselves to unrealistic people.

    1. Up! up! my friend, and clear your looks, Why all this toil and trouble? Up! up! my friend, and quit your books, Or surely you'll grow double. The sun above the mountain's head, A freshening lustre mellow, Through all the long green fields has spread, His first sweet evening yellow.

      The previous piece used more informal language, as well as a particular visual structure. However, this piece flows with plain language. The speaker in the poem is telling his friend that he should venture outside where he can be one with nature because it contains more wisdom than books. Last but not least, the use of color stood out to me.This depiction of color seems to represent passing time, both from day to night, but perhaps from summer to fall.

    1. digital eye strain may also affect your head, neck, and shoulders

      If it affects other places other than eyes, should it really be called "digital eye strain?" I think it should just be digital muscle straining.

    1. These slogans should be persistently repeated until the very last individual has come to grasp the idea that has been put forward. If this principle be forgotten, and if an attempt be made to be abstract and general, the propaganda will turn out ineffective, for the public will not be able to digest or retain what is offered to them in this way

      This made me think of all the heavily embedded slogans in my head. "Make America Great Again", "Yes we can", "I want you for U.S. Army", "Kars for Kids" Its true that the slogan must be popular. Even without any information about what the campaign or propaganda is about, its human nature to be for something when we remember it. Therefore slogans and catchy names will always have importance, Trump will always be known for his Phrase as will Obama, Uncle Sam, and any commercials!. It also just adds to the idea that propaganda isn't meant to be informative but just eye catchy and easily liked...

    1. The group met on the waterfront each day, and sometimes traveled as a group other places in the city but also frequently fought to protect the oceans and waterfront. Today they were going to be spreading awareness on ocean pollution and how each person’s carbon footprint affects the ocean as well. 

      does lairen know this or are we learning this from Xavier while they head to the group meeting.

    1. The high school is too competitive. My kids won’t get into a good college because of all of the Asians.I want my children to grow up in the real world. This is not the real world.

      Wouldn't the fact that this school is "too competitive" make the child want to do even better in their classes? The real world is very competitive so this would give the children a head start in that sense.

    1. Love your cover here--the illustration conveys the playful tone of your chapter. Can you fix it so that the head of the bookworm shows up?

    1. The Two: (They let go of the worker and start running to join the third)Worker: (It flees for its life)Traveler: (She aims a roundhouse kick at the head of the third)The Third: (It only slightly recoils upon impact)Traveler: (Dodges backwards as the two join the third). Hard-headed, I see.The Third: (It kicks the pole back into its arms)Traveler: (Pulling out her blaster again, she aims at the third’s head)The Third: (It swiftly strikes the blaster out of her hands with its pole, breaking the blaster)

      easily the worst combination of parenthetical action and fight scene. i just can't handle this bit :(

    2. Razers: (They get up from the table and enter the small clock shop)Razer 1: We’ll tear you apart! (She charges ahead of the rest, with 6 others following behind her)Traveler: (She dodges Razer 1’s charge and trips her, causing her to fall onto the ground)Razers 2 and 3: (They charge at her from each side)Razer 4: (He charges at her directly ahead)Traveler: (She grabs the arm of Razer 2 on her left, redirecting him into Razer 3. Using this momentum, she lands a flip-kick on Razer 4, knocking him out and rolling back uprightRazer 1: (She lunges at the traveler from behind, landing a strike on her back)Traveler: (Recoiling, she aims a kick directly behind her, planting Razer 1 into the wall and knocking them out)Razer 5, 6, and 7: (They pull out knives from their back pockets)Traveler: Make those out of “scrap” too?Razer 6: We’ll scrap you! (He lunges at her)Razers 5 and 7: (They both charge at her, following closely behind Razer 6)Traveler: You know how weak that sounds? (She aims a quick kick up, knocking the knife out of Razer 6’s hand, then brings her leg back down on his head to knock him out.)Knife: (Reaching the pinnacle of its flight, it starts falling back down)

      i find no redeeming value in these fight scenes. they're too long, but more importantly they just don't work with the medium. what am i getting out of watching this fight?

    1. git reflog is a very useful command in order to show a log of all the actions that have been taken! This includes merges, resets, reverts: basically any alteration to your branch.

      Reflog - shows the history of actions in the repo.

      With this information, you can easily undo changes that have been made to a repository with git reset

      git reflog
      

      reflog animation

      Say that we actually didn't want to merge the origin branch. When we execute the git reflog command, we see that the state of the repo before the merge is at HEAD@{1}. Let's perform a git reset to point HEAD back to where it was on HEAD@{1}!

      reflog + reset animation

    2. Sometimes, we don't want to keep the changes that were introduced by certain commits. Unlike a soft reset, we shouldn't need to have access to them any more.

      Hard reset - points HEAD to the specified commit.

      Discards changes that have been made since the new commit that HEAD points to, and deletes changes in working directory

      git reset --hard HEAD~2
      git status
      

      hard reset animation

    3. soft reset moves HEAD to the specified commit (or the index of the commit compared to HEAD), without getting rid of the changes that were introduced on the commits afterward!

      Soft reset - points HEAD to the specified commit.

      Keeps changes that have been made since the new commit the HEAD points to, and keeps the modifications in the working directory

      git reset --soft HEAD~2
      git status
      

      soft reset animation

    4. git reset gets rid of all the current staged files and gives us control over where HEAD should point to.

      Reset - way to get rid of unwanted commits. We have soft and hard reset

    5. There are 6 actions we can perform on the commits we're rebasing

      Interactive rebase - makes it possible to edit commits before rebasing.

      Creates new commits for the edited commits which history has been changed.

      6 actions (options) of interactive rebase:

      • reword: Change the commit message
      • edit: Amend this commit
      • squash: Meld commit into the previous commit
      • fixup: Meld commit into the previous commit, without keeping the commit's log message
      • exec: Run a command on each commit we want to rebase
      • drop: Remove the commit
      git rebase -i HEAD~3
      

      drop animation

    1. What do I need to do to be prepared? Have you thought through and tested the scenario that you may need to work remotely or from home?Consider:where will you be?what devices, information and connection will you have?what systems are you going to need to access?how are you going to carry out tasks and responsibilities when not on campus or face to face? Go through this checklist to see if there are things you might need to do to be fully prepared.The work and teach from home checklist is a start point to understand if you are ready to continue working from home.Talk to your Head of School/Manager if your checklist reveals gaps.

      could this be at the top of the page? seems like one of the first things an academic would have to review

    1. “He mostly says the things you’re thinking in your head.”

      shows how our inner worlds reflect that of one that uses dunk tank clowns. We are always insulting people in our heads, the clowns are just brave enough to actually voice those thoughts.

    1. The answer is simple. Your job as a writer ii making 1entence1. Most of your time will be spent making 1entenc:e1 In your head. In . your head. id no one ever teU you this? That i th wrttc:r', 1Jfe. Never Imagine you've left the level of the sentence b hind

      short sentence of "In your head" gives emphasis!!

    1. At this point the FBI became embedded in the process as well.

      The next day all of the head officials had been contacted about what had happened. They elected to get Pondurance, Inc a cybersecurity specialist involved and ended up having the FBI involved as well. They worked together to find what went wrong and where it was coming from.

    1. Are you going to be OK? she asks.I don’t know.It’s just supposed to be fun.I have a girlfriend.You told me, remember?She puts the plate on your lap, regards you critically. You know, you look like your brother. I’m sure people tell you that all the time.Some people.I couldn’t believe how good- looking he was. He knew it, too. It was like he never heard of a shirt.

      So I spoke about this in my discussion group. Miss Lora is about twice Yunior's age, and their whole relationship is considered rape. I find that if your read between the lines, Yunior is not happy with their relationship and that it's actually a traumatizing experience for him that he will never actually admit to it because of his machisimo aspect. He tells her "I have a girlfriend" seemingly like yeahhh this should stop. But Miss Lora doesn't care, and when hass Yunior ever cared about cheating on his girlfriend so far? And Miss Lora treats him like a son and uses and emotionally abuses him like he's a prize that she won. She says how much he's like his brother and fawns over Rafa while she's with Yunior. Not only is this older woman messing with his head and having sex with him, but she's also implanting in the back of his mind that she wouldn't have chosen him and hes there becasue Rafa isn't

    1. What were times you felt like an “outsider” to a subject?

      The most significant time I can remember feeling like an outsider to a subject was in graduate school when we studied Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of polyglossia and heteroglossia. My head hurts just thinking about the struggle I had understanding the two books we were assigned to read in the course, The Dialogic Imagination and The Problems of Dostoyevsky’s Poetics. It was as if I was reading a foreign language. Try as I could, I could never articulate in my own words what Bakhtin’s theories meant or how to apply them to literary theory. I so hated every time we had to discuss the books in class and always felt incompetent, especially when I could see my peers got it and even relished our class discussions. To this day, I have those two books on my bookshelf. Some years ago, I opened them and found it striking that there were no marginal notes on any of the pages. I looked through five other books from graduate school that were on the same bookshelf and every one had marginal notes. I can’t explain why the books were so difficult for me to grasp, but to this day I have absolutely no interest in those books. And, I can’t think of a way anyone could interest me in them. Realizing this makes me understand what happens when some of my students struggle with the literature I ask them to read, like Shakespeare and poetry. It also makes me think of students who struggle with math, chemistry or the various subjects they struggle with. We have to find ways to help students like this reconnect to these subjects in positive and supportive ways.

    1. we’ll leave the yyy’s written as yyy’s and in our head we’ll need to remember that they really are y(x)y(x)y\left( x \right) and that we’ll need to do the chain rule.

      Make sure to remember which is which or else you might get lost within your solution and get it wrong.

    1. N.F.L. veteran, when you bring in his college and high-school playing days, could well have been hit in the head eighteen thousand times: that’s thousands of jarring blows that shake the brain from front to back and side to side,

      accumulative

    2. “They cleared me for practice that Thursday. I probably shouldn’t have. I don’t know what damage I did from that, because my head was really hurting

      Shows how the organization deals with injuries

    1. Now, which of the multitude of faces that showed themselves before him was the true face of the buried person, the shadows of the night did not indicate; but they were all the faces of a man of five-and-forty by years, and they differed principally in the passions they expressed, and in the ghastliness of their worn and wasted state. Pride, contempt, defiance, stubbornness, submission, lamentation, succeeded one another; so did varieties of sunken cheek, cadaverous colour, emaciated hands and figures. But the face was in the main one face, and every head was prematurely white. A hundred times the dozing passenger inquired of this spectre: “Buried how long?” The answer was always the same: “Almost eighteen years.” “You had abandoned all hope of being dug out?” “Long ago.” “You know that you are recalled to life?” “They tell me so.” “I hope you care to live?” “I can't say.” “Shall I show her to you? Will you come and see her?”

      This obviously will come up later in the book because it is repeated multiple times. Dickens wants us to recognized that he has been buried 18 years ago for some reason.

    1. “If I were inclined to joke, I should say, How much this seems like Paradise!” he remarked whimsically, looking at her with an inclined head.“What do you say?” she weakly asked.“A jester might say this is just like Paradise. You are Eve, and I am the old Other One come to tempt you in the disguise of an inferior animal. I used to be quite up in that scene of Milton’s when I was theological. Some of it goes—‘Empress, the way is ready, and not long,Beyond a row of myrtles....... If thou acceptMy conduct, I can bring thee thither soon.’‘Lead then,’ said Eve.

      Alec D'Urberville returns and Tess is surprised to see him again, given their past, his presence was not a warm one for Tess. Alec is the narrator of this part of the text as he is seen quoting the story of Adam and Eve from the Bible, still trying to assert dominance over Tess. This passage refers to the Genesis story of Adam and Eve in the Catholic Bible. It is ironic that Alec quotes himself to seem as Adam while Tess is Eve. The ironic part is seen, "A jester might say this is just like Paradise" (275). Seeing Alec actually made Tess feel "weakly" not happy or excited. He is trying to seduce Tess once again, but his idea of being the man for Tess is far fetched. He is not Adam, and she is not Eve, the irony he even thinks they are related shows how Alec really does not think he did anything wrong to Tess, if anything he showed her light or paradise, in his mind.

    2. “If I were inclined to joke, I should say, How much this seems like Paradise!” he remarked whimsically, looking at her with an inclined head.“What do you say?” she weakly asked.“A jester might say this is just like Paradise. You are Eve, and I am the old Other One come to tempt you in the disguise of an inferior animal. I used to be quite up in that scene of Milton’s when I was theological. Some of it goes—

      When Tess, the protagonist of Thomas Hardy's novel, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, is working one day, she mindlessly notices a man working next to her, but pays no direct attention to him. Upon his approach, she is horrified to see Alec, the man who raped her years ago and brought existential dread to her life. He makes these claims that he is now a man of God, who has finally recognized his sins and is ready for redemption. However, it is clear through his joking, yet overbearing demeanor towards her that he is still the same terrible man that will never truly see the error of his ways. What supports this idea is the fact that he never apologizes or begs for her forgiveness, he just tries to sink his claws in her all over again by eventually suggesting that she marries him. Referencing Eve towards the end of this passage is an ironic way to bring religion into this issue. Alec makes the references to Eve as a way to almost put the blame on Tess for his actions because Tess is being compared to Eve as a temptress or a perpetrator. Alec continuously acts blind to his own role in taking joy and intimacy out of Tess' life.

    3. “If I were inclined to joke, I should say, How much this seems like Paradise!” he remarked whimsically, looking at her with an inclined head.“What do you say?” she weakly asked.“A jester might say this is just like Paradise. You are Eve, and I am the old Other One come to tempt you in the disguise of an inferior animal.

      In this section of the novel, Tess has returned to working near her house for her family since Mr. and Mrs. Durbeyfield have both fallen upon sickness of varying degrees. Before Tess's return home, she is reunited with Alec who has had a religious awakening since they have parted. Alec had prided himself with turning away from his past wickedness, but has since backslid from his religious practices due to the sight of Tess reigniting his temptations. A third person omniscient narrator describes Tess's realization that Alec has disguised himself as one of the labourers in order to be close to her. In this section of the scene, Alec compares this interaction between him and Tess to the temptation of Eve by the snake. This is not the first time Alec had compared Tess to Eve from the Biblical story of original sin. However, Alec had previously referred to himself as Adam in relation to Tess's Eve rather than the snake by saying, "the old Adam of my former years" (241). It is interesting that he changes the roles in this scene since Alec had expressed to Tess that she was tempting him, which we know from him saying it outright and from their history regarding his inappropriate actions toward her, including the rape. This view would make sense to compare them two to Adam and Eve, since in the Biblical story Eve gives the fruit to Adam. Now, with Alec assuming the role of the snake, it changes his portrayl of his side of their evolving story. Hardy is perhaps suggesting that Alec is trying to mask the fact the he is still the one being tempted through no longer referring to himself as Adam, a sinner. Since he feels that he was tempted by her in their past, he now aims to tempt her in return (though Tess, of course, did not aim to to tempt him). Hence, his referral to his own self as the snake and is referral to Tess as Eve. This is why he is now often seen looking upon her and inserting himself into her life since their reunion.

    4. “If I were inclined to joke, I should say, How much this seems like Paradise!” he remarked whimsically, looking at her with an inclined head.“What do you say?” she weakly asked.“A jester might say this is just like Paradise. You are Eve, and I am the old Other One come to tempt you in the disguise of an inferior animal

      As Tess, the protagonist in, Tess of the D'Ubervilles, by Thomas Hardy, is working she notices a man that is working in a close proximity to her. She pays no attention to him. However, once she realizes it is Alec, the man that once raped Tess and essentially ruined her life, she is completely thrown off. At a first glance, this is a dialouge between Tess and Alec and Alec is alluding to the Bible, specifically the story of Adam and Eve. Keeping in mind the history of Tess and Alec, it is clear Hardy chose this language purposely. Alec "jokingly" refers to the story in the Bible when Adam and Eve are tempted and commit sin and he compares Tess to Eve and himself to the tempter, rather than Adam, a fellow sinner. This is perhaps showing that Alec does not see himself as a sinner for his actions, but more of a temptation for Tess. It is sadly ironic because for Tess, Alec was never once a temptation, but more of an aggressor. The language of this text is also particularly upsetting for Tess because she struggles with faith so much because of her past and rather than being seen in a saintly or good light that the readers know she should be, she is instead compared to Eve, one of the sinners in the Bible.

    1. A woman drew her long black hair out tight And fiddled whisper music on those strings And bats with baby faces in the violet light Whistled, and beat their wings And crawled head downward down a blackened wall And upside down in air were towers Tolling reminiscent bells, that kept the hours And voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells.

      In this section, the motif of zombies (neither this nor that) can be seen in the line “And bats with baby faces in the violet light.” Aside from having an aura of creepy undeadness, the bats with baby faces are not quite human, not quite unhuman. They lie somewhere in between baby and bat. The un/natural time motif can be seen in the line “Tolling reminiscent bells, that kept the hours.” But unlike in my previously annotated section, this marker of time is unnatural. Bells are manmade signifiers of the passage of time, unlike the seasons or sunsets/sunrises. The “voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells” is clearly an example of the voice motif, but unlike my previously annotated section, these voices are, perhaps, humans, using actual human speech. Either way, there is general sense of exile in this section – the woman seems to be in a cave-type setting, cast out from the rest of the world and stuck with creepy bats against a “blackened wall.” The voices singing out of empty spaces also make me think they are calling out for something – help, maybe – so this last line uses the motif of desire frustrated.

    2. “What is that noise?”                           The wind under the door. “What is that noise now? What is the wind doing?”                            Nothing again nothing.                                                         “Do “You know nothing? Do you see nothing? Do you remember “Nothing?”          I remember Those are pearls that were his eyes. “Are you alive, or not? Is there nothing in your head?”

      The voices in this excerpt appears to be between two women. The beginning of “The Game of Chess” describes in vivid detail the vast and sophisticated room of a women that’s confined in exile. It’s not clear if this woman, who I believe is named Lil, is awaiting her husband to return from serving in the army because the time sequence of this section isn't natural, particularly in the latter half when the second women says, “When Lil’s husband got demobbed, I said—”. This quote makes me speculate that the second women is flashing back to a point in time she held an actual conversation with Lil. Moreover, the second woman’s reply to Lil in this excerpt, “Those are pearls that were his eyes” makes me believe that the husband, Albert, might be dead.

      This excerpt reveals on behalf of Lil a frustrated desire to connect with somebody. She halfwittedly inquires twice on the noise that the wind is doing. And the second women’s zombie-like reply of “nothing” is another motif in this excerpt. It’s as if nobody wants to talk to Lil; Lil is quite the buzzkill even though she is on some meds herself, the irony.

    3. Those are pearls that were his eyes. “Are you alive, or not? Is there nothing in your head?”                                                                            But O O O O that Shakespeherian Rag— It’s so elegant So intelligent “What shall I do now? What shall I do?” “I shall rush out as I am, and walk the street “With my hair down, so. What shall we do tomorrow? “What shall we ever do?”

      Here Elliot is remixing "The Tempest" by Shakespeare, immediately following with the zombie motif of being zombie like. Kind of interesting that he notes the head is empty, but the eyes are treasure. He also remixes Shakespeare's usage of "Oh", but then reduces it to the vowel, and creates a rhythm on it, referencing ragtime. Mixing poetry and music. The rest of this section continues in a different direction, I can only assume to be their desire frustrated or still to refer to being a walking dead member of society. Like changing your hair would do anything about it.

    1. And blood is a burden, love. It should be. It should be heavy, a weight you carry. All of us carry that unshakeable chain. We come into this world tied to a lineage, and therefore a part of an ongoing story.

      This goes back to the idea that surnames serve as a reminder of where ones roots originated from. When we are given a last name, it also comes with the history of generations before us. The weight of all the struggles, fights, and bloodshed lace the last name in a hidden bow. When he says 'It should be heavy' I feel like he is saying that if a surname does not contain some weight or substance, it is no good. Since everyone has a surname, we all do indeed have an unshakeable chain and are are tied to a lineage until the day of our death. When I read that expert I was immediately reminded of the song 'Cost of the Crown' by Mercedes Lackey. The one part that has the strongest relations to the annotation is 'But once I took the crown to which I had been schooled and bred, I found it heavy on the heart, though light upon the head.'. This goes back to being given something innocent enough but chained to it is the burden and weight of history tied to the gift.

      What is their relationship together?

      • Mary Tudor and Thomas Cromwell were diametrically opposed in every way that mattered. She was a staunch Roman Catholic; he a reformist who masterminded the destruction of the monasteries and England’s break from Rome. She was the daughter of Henry VIII’s first queen, Catherine of Aragon; he helped engineer the annulment of their marriage so that the king might marry Anne Boleyn. Thanks to Cromwell, Mary suffered the misery and humiliation of being demoted from heir to the throne to illegitimate outcast.
      • even rumoured that the king’s chief minister harboured secret plans to marry the Lady Mary so that his heirs might inherit the crown of England. There is little reliable proof that Cromwell ever presumed so far. Even if he had, it is highly unlikely that Henry VIII would have sanctioned such a marriage, or that Mary herself would have agreed to it. In fact, the real reason behind the apparent cordiality between Cromwell and Mary during the mid-1530s was that he was trying to persuade the king’s stubborn eldest daughter to acknowledge the invalidity of her parents’ marriage and accept her father’s new status as supreme head of the church.

      Summary:

      • First ancestor of most animals, including humans, has been discovered—Ikaria wariootia had a mouth, anus, gut, and a bilaterian body plan.
      • Bilateral symmetry was a critical step in evolution, enabling organisms to move purposefully, but so far the first organism to develop it wasn’t known.
      • Ikaria wariootia was discovered through careful analysis of 555 million-year-old samples.
      • It was a wormlike creature, up to 7mm (0.27in) long, with a distinct head and tail, as well as faintly grooved musculature.
      • This discovery confirms what evolutionary biologists previously predicted.
    1. Plato’s own unconscious. For Plato expresses serious reservationsin the Phaedrus and his Seventh Letter about writing, as amechanical, inhuman way of processing knowledge, unresponsiveto questions and destructive of memory, although, as we nowknow, the philosophical thinking Plato fought for dependedentirely on writing. No wonder the implications here resistedsurfacing for so long. The importance of ancient Greek civilizationto all the world was beginning to show in an entirely new light: itmarked the point in human history when deeply interiorizedalphabetic literacy first clashed head-on with orality. And, despitePlato’s uneasiness, at the time neither Plato nor anyone else was orcould be explicitly aware that this was what was going on.

      A shift in human thought as exemplified and written on by Plato. Very cool stuff. Relating to today with technology that is even more mnemonically devastating.

      I never thought about why the functionalist view shot straight into popularity, but this cleared it up for me. Anthropologists were slightly at an impasse because the focus on comparison and historical "evolution" was the basis for their thinking. Functionalism flipped that kind of on its head looking for a complete answer for every question, which in itself comes with faults.

    1. We sat there for a while, my head aching with my desire to communicate, and she kept blowing on her hands.

      It is interesting to have this perspective of a younger, more vulnerable Yunior because we as readers know that he (as a teenager) loves to use his recently acquired English. We have access to this information because of Diaz's use of unstable chronology from one story to another. By jumping around in time in his storytelling, we experience moments of Yunior as a teenager and in later stories we have him as a younger boy who has just arrived to the United States. In this moment in "Invierno," we see his vulnerability as an immigrant who feels alienated in a new land that has its own language. Here, Yunior is not swaggering around using his Spanglish to degrade and objectify women. Instead, he is miming and gesturing his desires with Elaine on a cold winter day. Diaz writes, "She took her hands out of her mittens and rubbed them together. We were out of the wind and I followed her example" (141). Uncharacteristically (at least in comparison to his older years), Yunior is following the lead of the opposite gender. He watches her to make a similar move. In the next moment when Eric shows up, Yunior copies Elaine's moves in stepping out of the pipe. Yunior is limited in his language comprehension and Diaz shows this when he writes, "She was standing next to her brother. When he saw me he yelled something and threw a snowball in my direction" (141). When Diaz writes "yelled something," he emphasizes the likely possibility that Yunior does not understand what Eric is saying. This shows that Yunior is isolated with regard to the English language, exchange and communication.

His order to shave Yunior's hair is the only option for him to achieve his dream while also maintaining control over the bodies of his family.

      <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> is an <u style='text-underline:black'>automated tool</u> that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> is not a substitute for expert review. <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers) in the <span class=GramE>manuscript, and</span> detects sentences that appear to be missing RRIDs. <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> also checks to make sure that rigor criteria are addressed by authors. It does this by detecting sentences that discuss criteria such as blinding or power analysis. <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> does not guarantee that the rigor criteria that it detects are appropriate for the <span class=GramE>particular study</span>. Instead it assists authors, editors, and reviewers by drawing attention to sections of the manuscript that contain or should contain various rigor criteria and key resources.

      <u style='text-underline: black'>Rigor Table:</u>

      In the rigor table (table 1 of this report), <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> highlights sentences that include various elements of rigor as described by <span class=SpellE>Hackam</span> and <span class=SpellE>Redelmeier</span> in <span style='color:blue'>2006</span>, and by van der Warp and colleagues in <span style='color:blue'>2010</span>. <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> was trained using sentences from thousands of published papers that were tagged by expert curators to indicate that the sentence described blinding (either during the experiment or during data analysis), group selection criteria such as how subjects were randomized, power analysis (statistical test), or sex as a biological variable. If a cell line is detected then <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> ‘expects’ that cell line authentication criteria are described, a cell line is not detected this section of the table will not be visible or scored. When a criterion is expected, but a sentence that addresses the criterion is not detected by <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span>, the statement “Not Detected” is given. It is possible that a criterion is not necessary for a <span class=GramE>particular manuscript</span> or that <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span>, an automated tool, makes a mistake. If <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> makes substantial mistakes with your manuscript, please <span style='color: blue'>contact us </span><span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>to help us learn from our mistakes. Please see the <span style='color:blue'>FAQ </span><span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>for more details.

      <u style='text-underline: black'>Scoring for Rigor Table (total 5 points):</u>

      The rigor table makes up 5 points of the total score. Those five points are split evenly among the expected rigor criteria, each criterion being worth five divided by the number of rows in the table points. Scores are rounded to the nearest whole number. For each sentence that describes an expected rigor criterion, such as blinding, <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> adds the fractional number of points for that criterion, and if it is unable to find a statement on blinding then this section is labeled "Not Detected" and receives a score of 0. To improve detection, please make sure that your language is clear and written in standard English.

      <u style='text-underline: black'>Key Resources Table</u>

      The key resources table (table 2 of this report), contains two types of things that are detected automatically by <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span>:

      <span style='mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>  </span></span></span>RRIDs, research resource identifiers

      <span style='mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>  </span></span></span>Sentences that “should” have RRIDs

      RRIDs, are unique identifiers for reagents and other resources that largely overlap those resources that have been labeled as particularly problematic by the National Institutes of Health in recent changes to grant review criteria, please see <span style='color:blue'>"key biological resources"</span>, e.g., antibodies, cell lines and transgenic organisms. The RRID initiative is led by community repositories that provide persistent unique identifiers to their resources, such as transgenic mice, salamanders, antibodies, cell lines, plasmids and software projects such as statistical software. RRIDs are described in a primer by Bandrowski and Martone in<span style='color:blue'>2016</span>.

      RRIDs are unique numbers that resolve to a particular database record, for example the <span class=GramE>RRID:CVCL</span>_0063 resolves to this record for a cell line:

      <span style='color:blue'>https://web.expasy.org/cellosaurus/CVCL_0063</span>

      The information in that database is structured and curated by <span class=SpellE>Cellosaurus</span> staff, the authority for cell lines. If authors use this RRID then <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> will ask the database about the number. Once an RRID is found in the database, <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> attempts to match text in the sentence with the database record, most often it attempts to find the name of the resource, in this case HEK293T, and information about the company or catalog number to verify that authors have put the right RRID in the sentence. If a typo is made by authors, that renders the RRID not valid, the RRID column will be blank (table 3 will contain the RRID in the unresolved RRID column in red). If an RRID was submitted to the authority by authors, it often takes a week or more to become available in the resolver database, thus exercise caution in the interpretation of the <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> report in cases of newly minted RRIDs.

      Sentences that should have RRIDs are detected by <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span>, by looking for patterns in a sentence that are <span class=GramE>similar to</span> how cell lines or antibodies are described in published papers. A sentence that describes one or more antibodies may be detected by <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> and this will be placed into the table without a corresponding RRID. <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> will attempt to find the name(s) and catalog numbers of the resource. In cases where the tool is relatively confident, it will suggest an RRID. The suggested RRID appears in gray with a link to the RRID website where authors must confirm that the RRID found by <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> is the correct RRID.

      <u style='text-underline: black'>Note of caution:</u>

      Please verify all RRID suggestions, only the author can know whether suggestions are correct.

      <u style='text-underline: black'>Scoring for Resources Table (total 5 points):</u>

      Each resource that is detected is scored, and the total is 5 points, with scores rounded to the nearest whole number. For each RRID detected, points are awarded, but for each sentence that is detected that does not contain an RRID, points are not awarded. If <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> detects catalog numbers or relatively unambiguous resources, partial points are awarded. For each RRID that does not resolve properly only partial points are also awarded. Therefore, the way to maximize the points from this section is to add RRIDs, and proper citations that include vendor names, catalog numbers, lot and version numbers into the methods section of the manuscript.

      <u style='text-underline: black'>Incorrect sentences:</u>

      <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> is a text analysis tool, and it is therefore susceptible to making two types of errors, false positives or false negatives.

      False <span class=SpellE><span class=GramE>negatives:<span style='font-weight:normal'>The</span></span></span> most common error occurs when the algorithm fails to detect a sentence that contains an antibody or another resource. False negatives generally occur either because the sentence is complex or in a less common syntax pattern. Generally simple sentences in clear standard English are simpler to process and result in few false negatives. If a truly complex sentence structure is required to describe reagents, a table may help not only <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span>, but also human readers. If an RRID is detected in a sentence, <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> will be triggered to <span class=GramE>take a look</span> at the sentence, which may have been skipped otherwise.

      False positives: This type of error includes cases where a sentence does not contain an antibody, but the algorithm asserts that this sentence does have an antibody. If many resources are used and all have RRIDs, a single false positive will not reduce the score substantially. But if only 1-2 resources are used, then a false positive can reduce your <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> needlessly. False positives are most often seen in the tools portion of table 2, as the algorithm detects company names, where it should not. We try to minimize these false positives using several strategies. If this impacts your score, please contact our team (http:// sciscore.com) and include the sentence where <span class=SpellE>SciScore</span> made the error. While we can't fix the score, we can learn from our mistakes.

      As the article indicates, there are unfortunately more students experiencing childhood trauma, especially at a younger age and more incidents of behaviour because of this. However, the implementation of the DECA has allowed teachers to understand how to assess and teach their students better and thus feel better supported and more confident in teaching their students.

In an instant his strange headgear began to move, and there reared itself from among his hair the squat diamond-shaped head and puffed neck of a loathsome serpent. “It is a swamp adder!” cried Holmes; “the deadliest snake in India.

      By this point, I'll admit, I was just as shocked as Watson was when the speckled band meaning was finally reviled. I wonder if the mystery seems silly in countries where this is a known name for the deadly snake

    1. Counting, tapping, touching, or rubbing Compulsions can involve counting, touching, or tapping objects in a particular way. Some children and teens have lucky and unlucky numbers involved in their rituals (e.g., needing to touch a door four times before leaving a room). Ordering/arranging This compulsion involves arranging items in specific ways, such as bed sheets, stuffed animals, or books in the school locker or book bag. For example, a child might need to line up all the shoes in the closet so that they all face forward, and are matched by color. Mental rituals Not all children and teens with OCD will have compulsions that can be seen. Some perform rituals in their head, such as saying prayers or trying to replace a “bad” image or thought with a “good” image or thought. For example, a teen might have a bedtime prayer that he or she mentally repeats over and over again until it “feels right”.

      I have seen some children with autism who "has to" step on certain tiles when walking or has their own "circle/route” to take when playing in the field. They would be agitated if someone break it off. I wonder if this counts as possible symptoms of OCD.

      Definitely sounds like an illness similar to the one the Joker has in the recent movie. In that movie, the character suffered head trauma as a child, and as a result developed a condition where he randomly laughs uncontrollably. It's sad that in her current situation she's clearly ill, but that it's chalked up to religion, as she roams destitute, trying to find her way back home.

Antonius, now, was carried on by the momentum of his horse and left the deed incomplete, so that his victim nearly escaped; but in the meantime the decurion finished what remained to be done. They cut off Cassius' head and set out to meet the emperor. 28 Marcus Antoninus was so greatly grieved at the death of Cassius that he could not bring himself even of the look at the severed head of his enemy, but before the murderers drew near gave orders that it should be buried.

    1. Jungle

      Bannerman never explicitly states where this "jungle" is located. While the presence of tigers and her use of the word "ghi" suggests that the story takes place in India, her use of Black caricatures suggests that the characters may be African in origin.

      Due to this ambiguity, later adapters have set their retellings of The Story of Little Black Sambo in India, Africa, and even the American South. In most cases, the creators' choice of setting directly influences how they racially portray the characters. For instance, books set in India, such as Fred Marcellino's The Story of Little Babaji (1996), typically depict the characters with stereotypical Orientalized clothing, like turbans and saris. By contrast, adaptations set in Africa, like John R. Neill's Little Black Sambo, frequently represent the characters wearing grass skirts (or even no clothing at all) and living in primitive grass huts. Finally, adaptations like Julius Lester and Jerry Pinkney's Sam and the Tigers (1996) shift the narrative to the American South.

      However, some critics have argued that Bannerman deliberately made the setting of her book ambiguous in order to enhance the fantasy aspect of the story. Rosemary Dinnage writes, “The Sambo adventures… happen to never-never people in a never-never land that is neither India nor Africa nor--certainly--the American South; alas for Anglo-Indian Mrs. Bannerman, her head full of perfectly real exotic scenes, and real snakes and tigers, innocently coloring her figures black to suit the story” (84).

    1. Phil STuod

      The underlining of this character's name is interesting, considering Phil doesn't appear until the last two pages of the 21st chapter, and in a different setting from the Smallweed's home. He is described with incredible physical disfigurements, and as the closest relationship George has. Interestingly, Phil's physical appearance and mobility is described as primal and almost atavistic

      George's Shooting Gallery to-night, which is so devoid of company that a little grotesque man with a large head has it all to himself and lies asleep upon the floor (350).

      This is similar to the descriptions of Judy Smallweed earlier in this installment. George's connections with, or at least intrigue by, these characters help shape him as one of the most psychologically developed characters Bleak House offers.

      She seemed like an animal of another species, and there was instinctive repugnance on both sides (335).

    2. Hortense

      The readers are finally provided with a name for Lady Dedlock's French maid. We also get some interesting insights into her and Lady Dedlock's relationship, as well as her personality. We see Lady Dedlock injure Hortense's pride by leaving her behind to walk home, and we see how Hortense responds to it -- with passionate fury that leaves her walking home shoeless through the rain-soaked grass. This tension between the two of them could indicate some of the motive Hortense had for framing Lady Dedlock for Mr. Tulkinghorn's murder later in the novel.

      We also get the keeper mentioning aspects of Hortense's personality, saying:

      "...She's mortal high and passionate -- powerful high and passionate" as well as saying that she isn't insane, that she "has as good a head-piece as the best" (299-300).

      This is interesting if we look at the novel's events as a whole, with Hortense murdering Mr. Tulkinghorn.

    3. s.Lady De oc .

      There seems to be an in emphatic finality with which Dickens places the period beside Lady Deadlock’s name. This suggests that he already knew before starting this chapter she was going to tell Esther in this section. The timing was left ambiguous. He seems to come to the conclusion that it would be best to begin with Lady Dedlock telling Esther in the first chapter, Chesney Wold. Although further analysis uncovers that this line of questioning he jots down reveals his writing process. From the very first set of installment notes he already knows that a major plot point in this novel is the uncovering of this relationship; however, when analyzing these notes one understands that Dickens has to physically put pen to paper and articulate his thoughts in a way that is accessible to readers. The disconnect between a perfect thought in one's head and actually plotting a scene can be a difficult task and here we see an example of Dickens trying to figure this out first hand.

    1. missionary, minister, and teacher

      Missionary: Sent with a religious message. Minister: The "head" of a religious group. Teacher: Teachings of certain or various subjects.

      Combined these make for a very focused class. Teaching Native American children to speak, read, and write in English all so he can teach them the message of God. Which is both jobs of a missionary and minister.

Online reading is more accessible than offline because with offline we have to find the book, buy it/check it out, find the page and read it. Online reading we just type something in a push a few buttons, takes less than 5 minutes to do.

    1. The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree,Sing all a green willow:Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee,Sing willow, willow, willow:3065The fresh streams ran by her, and murmur’d her moans;Sing willow, willow, willow;Her salt tears fell from her, and soften’d the stones;Lay by these:—[Singing]3070

      I always found this song of hers so interesting. Is it an actual song? I found it random since even though they do use music as metaphors and such, nobody has actually done anything musically till now? This also mad me wonder even more about her mother.

    2.  Lie with her! lie on her! We say lie on her, whenthey belie her. Lie with her! that’s fulsome.—Handkerchief—confessions—handkerchief!—Toconfess, and be hanged for his labour;—first, to be2455hanged, and then to confess.—I tremble at it.Nature would not invest herself in such shadowingpassion without some instruction. It is not wordsthat shake me thus. Pish! Noses, ears, and lips.—Is’t possible?—Confess—handkerchief!—O devil!—2460[Falls in a trance]

      I always personally loved this part of the scene since you can see Othello spiraling even more in his head and losing his sanity to the point he falls into a trance. I think it's rather powerful.

      What Iago says to desdemona feels like he is teasing her and her response makes me believe he says this to build more of his fake reputation by seeming playful.

    4. If virtue no delighted beauty lack,Your son-in-law is far more fair than black.

      Why do I find this compliment to be such a contradiction to what it's trying to say in a way? He holds Othello in a high regard so he doesn't care about race but still felt compelled to say that he is more "fair than black" implies in my head he still consider black or sees it as a negative thing.

      Cassio talks to Desdemona about how he was sorry for what he had done to Montano. Desdemona forgives him. Iago denys that Cassio was in Desdemona's room. Desdemona tells Othello that you should reconsider Cassio. Iago then convinces Othello that Desdemona is cheating on Othello with Cassio. Othello tells Desdemona that his head hurts, so Desdemona gives gifted Napkin, drops it. Emily picks up Napkin and gives it to Iago. Iago stages that Desdemona and Cassio were together by placing the napkin in there. Iago convinces Othello that Cassio and Desdemona were together. Othello was outraged by this and tells Iago to kill Cassio. Iago is then promoted to Lieutenant.

    6. ‘Zounds, sir, you’re robb’d; for shame, put on your gown;Your heart is burst, you have lost half your soul;

      The very act of robbing can highlight how women were viewed in society. In lines 94-96, we see Desdemona depicted as an animal - a piece of property. Iago refers to her as an object of her father's possession, making it seem that her actions are meant to be controled. By her having sex, especially with a Moor, can be taken as a slight toward Brabantio's whole family, but specifically toward Brabantio as the head of his household.

      This entire article in general just reminds me how certain things can have such large effects. Money is an example- some people can be all about money, to the point where it takes them over and controls them. It is crazy how things can just snowball into something that we probably did not even imagine, which is what happened with coffee and the Ottoman Empire... or how things that we love so much, can become poison at some point and cause a lot that we did not ask for. These were just all of my thoughts that were running through my head while reading this.

    1. I dare swear that they weighed about ten pound

      This appears to be a bit of hyperbole as it would be very, very expensive for clothing to weigh that much. Considering how expensive fabric actually is- and was- you'd need a lot of fabric to make a dress this heavy, let alone a head-dress. It would be extremely impractical and wasteful to squander money on a single article of clothing for the sake of luxury and status unless you were royalty, so I highly doubt they meant this in a literal sense for some wandering wife. If anything this line serves a comical purpose to entertain the reader and to lighten the mood of the story a bit.

    1. Additionally, mounting MTBI concerns have prompted the league to enact rule changes aimed at protecting the head, such as the 2010 rules eliminating helmet-to-helmet contact with a defenseless player and requiring play stoppage when a runner's helmet is removed.([14])

      major rule change aimed to keep players safe that has altered the way football is played.

    2. Prior to the 2011 season, the league implemented amendments to the Free Kick rule, whereby the kickoff restraining line was moved from the 30- to the 35-yard line, and kicking team players other than the kicker were required to line up no more than 5 yards behind the restraining line.([15]) The intention of the rule was to increase touchbacks (where the ball is not returned) and to eliminate the customary 15–20 yard running "head start," thereby reducing injury frequency during special teams play.

      2011 Rule change as an attempt to combat head injuries on kickoffs. This change was before the 2013 settlement with NFL and former players talked about by John Guccione. http://web.a.ebscohost.com.ezjsrcc.vccs.edu:2048/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?vid=7&sid=9c5d19e4-a579-48a1-a02a-59451894dc30%40sessionmgr4007

    3. To evaluate whether injury rate changes could be attributable to the rule amendments, comparisons were made with punt injury rates (presumably unaffected by the Free Kick rule changes) and distributions of potential confounders were assessed across seasons. Incidence of injuries occurring on kickoff plays fell from 2010 to 2011 (RR: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.28–0.73), although on kickoff plays where the ball was returned, this decrease became non-significant (RR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.41–1.08). While the incidence of head injuries decreased by approximately 3-fold during kickoff plays, this change was not statistically significant (RR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.09–1.21). No difference was observed in injury incidence during punts between the two seasons, and the distribution of confounding factors was largely uniform across seasons. The observed decrease in injuries occurring during kickoffs was likely directly attributable to the Free Kick rule amendments, principally from the increased frequency of touchbacks. The absence of a significant change in head injuries during kickoffs was unexpected, but may be attributable to small sample size. Despite the injury rate reductions, the rule changes likely had little effect on player safety during active gameplay.

      The number of head injuries decreased on kickoff plays overall. Mainly due to the fact that there were more touchbacks. The injury rate was not observed to fall during active gameplay kickoff situations.

    1. nice

Having killed an ostrich and cut off his head, he came up to where we were sitting, holding the head in his left hand and in  p115 his right hand raising aloft his bloody sword; 2 and though he spoke not a word, yet he wagged his head with a grin, indicating that he would treat us in the same way. And many would indeed have perished by the sword on the spot, for laughing at him (for it was laughter rather than indignation that overcame us), if I had not chewed some laurel leaves, which I got from my garland, myself, and persuaded the others who were sitting near me to do the same, so that in the steady movement of our armies we might conceal the fact that we were laughing

    1. The emperor, after viewing the body of Albinus and feasting his eyes  p213 upon it to the full, while giving free rein to his tongue as well, ordered all but the head to be cast away, but sent the head to Rome to be exposed on a pole. 4 As this action showed clearly that he possessed none of the qualities of a good ruler, he alarmed both us and the populace more than ever by the commands that he sent; for now that he had overcome all armed opposition, he was venting upon the unarmed all the wrath that he had stored up against them in the past. He caused us especial dismay by constantly styling himself the son of Marcus and the brother of Commodus and by bestowing divine honours upon the latter, whom but recently he had been abusing. 8 1 While reading to the senate a speech, in which he praised the severity and cruelty of Sulla, Marius and Augustus as the safer course and deprecated the mildness of Pompey and Caesar as having proved the ruin of those very men, he introduced a sort of defence of Commodus 2 and inveighed against the senate for dishonouring that emperor unjustly, in view of the fact that the majority of its members lived worse lives

      Here Cassius writes about how Severus was demonstrating himself to be a cruel and violent Emperor. Even Severus himself says that the path of cruelty and severity taken by Sulla and Augustus was what allowed them to be great men in their times. He claims that the "mildness" of Caesar and Pompey is what eventually led to their deaths.

"Half devil and half child" This shows America's perspective of the Philippines which was why they felt like they needed to do something about it. In Section 3 of The American Empire, it also states something important. It says, "American forces were instructed to secure Manila". When you imagine America as a whole country compared to these small nations, it's like a father caressing a baby. This is what I vision in my head when I read this. Of course, not everyone had mutual feelings when it came to this. Therefore, I would say that Kipling's argument is true.

      Summary

      This paper describes five cryo-EM structures of ribosomal complexes apparently representing different stages of RF2-catalyzed translation termination. The novel observations here are that the tip of domain 3 of RF2 undergoes a rearrangement from an a-helical conformation to a b-hairpin conformation during termination that likely facilitates exit of the newly synthesized protein from the ribosomal polypeptide exit tunnel and that the ribosome can undergo two thermally activated, spontaneous conformational changes, a relative rotation of the ribosomal subunits and a swiveling of the 'head' domain of the small subunit, during termination that likely facilitate dissociation of RF2 from the ribosome. These are interesting observations that significantly extend our understanding of how class I RFs and ribosome conformational changes drive important steps during termination and, as such, all three reviewers recommended publication provided the following comments are addressed adequately.

      Essential Revisions

      1) The maps provided through the eLife system seemed to be unsharpened, as they showed very little detail. However, even after sharpening them with a B-factor of -100A2, they still did not show the expected features for their respective resolutions. My suspicion is that FREALIGN has been used to overfit the data. This should be addressed in the revision. It should be indicated whether gold-standard separation of halves of the data sets were used in the final refinements, or whether those were limited to a specific spatial frequency (like was done in the classifications). If the latter, those frequencies should also be stated in the manuscript, and they should be significantly lower than the claimed resolutions.

      In addition: a lot of basic cryo-EM information is missing: the authors should include: a) at least one micrograph image b) some representative 2D class averages c) local resolution maps of the five structures. Also, because the density of important parts of the maps seems to be a lot worse than the resolution claimed, it would be good to explicitly mention the local resolution of the important features discussed in the main text. d) for each structure, some zoomed-in figures with the density on top of the molecular model. These figures should be chosen as to validate the resolution claim. For example, in structures I, II and V, the RNA bases should be well separated (they do so at 3.6A), and in structures III and IV beta-strands should be well separated, and many (larger) side chains should be visible. In addition, some panels with density for the most important features of each structure should be shown. e) FSC curves between the refined PDB models and the cryo-EM maps are missing from the manuscript. These should be included. In addition, to evaluate potential overfitting of the models in the maps, for each structure, the authors should also include the FSC curves between a model that was refined in half-map1 versus half-map1, as well as the FSC curve between _thesame model versus half-map2.

      2) There appear to be many self-citations, and there are also a few places where relevant citations are missing or are mis-cited. There are too many to list individually, but, just a few examples: Page 4: the only citation for the phrase "recent biophysical and biochemical findings suggest a highly dynamic series of termination events" is a Rodnina paper. There are many, earlier papers from Ehrenberg, Gonzalez, Puglisi, Green, Joseph, etc. that should be cited here. Page 5: The only citation for the sentence "By contrast, biochemical experiments showed..." is a Green paper. There are earlier papers from Ehrenberg characterizing the effects of the GGQ-->GAQ mutations on the ability of RF3 to accelerate the dissociation of class I RFs from termination complexes that should be cited here. Page 5: There's a sentence that refers to X-ray, cryo-EM, and smFRET studies, but only provides citations to two smFRET studies (Casy et al, 2018 and Sternberg et al, 2009); Page 5: Moazed and Noller, 1989 identified and characterized the P/E hybrid state, but they didn't report that a deacylated P-site tRNA 'samples' the P/E hybrid state 'via a spontaneous intersubunit rotation'--that was later work from Noller and Ha; etc. There are several other instances of missing citations or mis-citations. We would ask that the authors review their citations with an eye for excessive self-citations and for missing citations or mis-citations. In this context, "Ensemble-EM" is also cited as a specific method in the introduction (Abeyrathne et al., 2016; Loveland et al., 2017). However, this method is more commonly known as (3D) classification of cryo-EM images, and there are many older, more appropriate citations.

      3) The sample imaged is a model sample generated by in vitro assembly with purified components of a termination complex. In order to mimic a bona fide termination complex, a short messenger RNA with a strong Shine-Dalgarno sequence followed by a start codon and immediately after by a stop codon was used (mRNA sequence: 5'-GGC AAG GAG GUA AAA AUG UGA AAAAAA-3'). Similar constructs were used to crystallize termination complexes in the past and it has been proven by smFRET experiments that, at least regarding ribosomal inter-subunit dynamics, this model sample behaves similarly to a real termination complex with a peptide linked to the P site tRNA. However, the nature of this model sample should be apparent for the non-specialist reader, highlighting its similarities with a real termination complex but also its possible limitations, especially regarding the "artificial" nature of having a stop codon so close to the Shine-Dalgarno sequence, a situation that never happens in real mRNAs. The authors should explicitly acknowledge this and discuss its implications in the main text.

      4) The authors set up a couple of somewhat 'strawman' arguments in claiming that: (i) there are discrepancies in the X-ray, cryo-EM, and smFRET literature with regard to whether ribosomes can undergo intersubunit rotation while bound to class I RFs or whether the non-rotated conformation of the ribosome is stabilized by bound class I RFs and (ii) class I RFs are able to terminate translation and dissociate from the ribosome without the aid of RF3. In the case of (i), it is obviously possible for class I RF-bound ribosomes to undergo intersubunit rotation while still favoring the non-rotated conformation of the ribosome. Moreover, there are enough differences between the cited studies, both in terms of the experimental conditions as well as the technical limitations associated with the various experimental techniques, that it is easy to rationalize differences with regard to whether the class I RF-bound ribosomes would be expected to undergo intersubunit rotation and/or whether the researchers would have been able to capture/observe intersubunit rotation. In the case of (ii), decades of biochemistry from Buckingham, Ehrenberg, Green, and others had already demonstrated that class I RFs are able to terminate translation and dissociate from the ribosome without the aid of RF3, and that the role of RF3 in termination is to accelerate the spontaneous dissociation of the class I RFs. If the authors want to highlight discrepancies in the literature, they should frame them in the context of differences between the studies, experimental design, limitations of the approaches/techniques in the cited papers that might account for such discrepancies. Re-writing this paragraph also in the light of addressing the missing citations and mis-citations pointed out under (2) will further help in toning these arguments down, which would strengthen the manuscript's scholarship.

      5) Class I RFs are post-translationally methylated at the Q residue of the GGQ motif of domain 3 and Buckingham, Ehrenberg, and others have shown that this methylation accelerates and/or facilitates class I-catalyzed termination both in vitro and in vivo. Nonetheless, Svidritskiy et al do not report whether and to what extent their RF2 is methylated. Was RF2 overexpressed in a manner that ensured homogeneous methylation or lack of methylation? If they are overexpressing prfB and not overexpressing prmC, it is likely that they have a mix of methylated and unmethylated RF2. Assuming they are using the wt E. coli prfB gene, then the residue at position 246 is a T, rather than an A or S, and Buckingham has shown that, in the wt T246 background, a lack of methylation at Q252 is either seriously detrimental in richer media or lethal in more minimal media. It was felt that a discussion of this issue was not needed in the main text, but that it would be helpful if the authors would include the important/relevant experimental details in the Methods section, for example, did they use the T246 wt E. coli variant of RF2; and did they overexpress prmC along with prfB?

      6) Structure I is denoted and treated as a pre-termination complex, but that does not seem at all possible given that the sample was prepared by incubating a pre-termination complex for 30 min in the presence of excess RF2, conditions that Figure 1-Figure Supplement 3 suggest results in robust termination. Structure I is more likely the non-rotated conformation of a post-termination complex that is in equilibrium with its rotated counterpart, Structure V. Based on my reading of the manuscript, it is likely that the authors understand this point, but are nonetheless using this structure as a mimic/analog of a pre-termination complex. If so, I think this is fine, but the authors should explicitly state that this is what they are doing. Related to this, the authors should clarify the description of their activity assay, show the raw data, and/or report 'Released [S35]-fMet (%)' instead of 'Released [S35]-fMet, CPM' on the y-axis of Figure 1-Figure Supplement 3; as the activity assay is currently described, reported, and plotted, it is impossible to determine whether RF2 is 1% or 99% active in termination.

      7) The final sentence of the manuscript reads: "Translation termination and recycling of the release factors and the ribosome therefore rely on the spontaneous ribosome dynamics, triggered by local rearrangements of the universally conserved elements of the peptidyl-transferase and decoding centers". There are a couple of problems with this sentence as written. First, smFRET experiments by Gonzalez, Puglisi, and Rodnina have previously shown that "Translation termination and recycling of the release factors and the ribosome therefore rely on the spontaneous ribosome dynamics" and the relevant articles should therefore be cited here. Moreover, given the data are static structures solved using a sample that is at equilibrium, it is not clear how the authors determined that these spontaneous ribosome dynamics were "triggered by local rearrangements of the universally conserved elements of the peptidyl-transferase and decoding centers". Isn't it equally possible, given the data presented, that the local rearrangements were triggered by the ribosome dynamics?

    1. A charismatic leader that comes to my mind is Barack Obama. I know many people have different opinions on subjects like these but I mean no harm, this is just my opinion. He changed the United States so much in the 8 years he was in office. He made same sex marriage legal nationwide in 2015, was the first African American president, signed the Affordable Care Act providing health insurance to millions of Americans, etc. Even though he is not in office anymore, he is still trying to improve the country as best as he can. Sometimes power gets to someone's head too much (such as Presidents, Prime Ministers, etc.) and they do things that only benefit themselves and their opinion, not the country they are leading. I think many people were attracted to Obama because he never let power get to his head and did what he think was best to help Americans.

    1. Thus, the prelim-inary steps towards incorporating ubuntu in a reformulated version of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) become possible.

      Here it shows that Human Rights should not be stationary, it is forever changing given human culture advancing. This makes me wonder that whether Human Rights could head back with extreme examples like wars. its is easy to explain the advancing process of human right: when more people leave poverty and receive more education, it is natural for them to focus more on their moral need as their physical needs are safeguarded. However, in wars, when people could barely secure their lives, their focus on human rights might go down to the baseline - the right to live. Taking this aspect into consideration, when formulating universal human right, we must take into account different stages each country (and individuals in that country) is at, because it would be tough and ineffective to demand equal rights for same-sex marriage to a country in war where survival is the most urgent at that time.

    2. It remains to be seen whether the newly established African Union (AU), the successor organization to the OAU, will be able to adopt a more interventionist stance than the one adopted by its predecessor.

      What actually makes an international organization effective during intervention does not lie in how justifiable it is. For organizations like OAU and AU, despite their divine purposes, they need more than simply trying to intervene. If head of African countries would not cooperate, any good ideas will turn into mere foam.

    1. You done lived wid me for twenty years and you don’t half know me atall.

      The topic that generally stood out to me the most was the concept of marriage in the book. For Janie, she was somewhat pressured to get married, under the assumption of ‘you will be safe if you have a husband, and love always comes eventually through marriage.’ It's a sadly unrealistic idea. She was waiting for a love that never came. Her husband was abusive, and unreasonable, even meeting death he was bitter. After chapter eight, she was free. It wasn’t just about Jody’s death. It was about an end. The end. Or actually, her new beginning. The start of her freedom.When she burned all of her head rags, that was when she put down her burden of being married to him. She could start anew. It wasn’t the death of something. It was the birth of her freedom. The book signified how she felt after she did that, even after the funeral.

      In my final project, I wanted to portray how her marriages in some way held her down, but then also set her free. Her marriages with Jody and Logan really messed her up, but when she was with tea cake, she was happier. Even if for not that long. Tea Cake had some problems, but he wasn’t abusive, and he loved her. She never fell in love again, as far as we know, after his death. For the piece of artwork I made, it basically consists of 4 characters from the story, and two important locations or things that were significant to Janie in the book. There are two cliffs on each side, one on the left has Janie hanging off the ledge of it. It's supposed to symbolize how they trapped her, b/c her first two husbands are on that same cliff, depicted as sihollutes. On the second cliff (right side) it has Tea Cake, waiting for her, and the tree, from the beginning of the book, that is the only ‘real’ source of color and life in the work. The tree itself is a mixed shaded blend of blue and green, and the trunk is light brown. However, the rest of the artwork is faded light blue, light gray, etc. to represent torrential winds. At the bottom of the two cliffs, is the hurricane. She has to jump ‘over’ it to Tea Cake, and just general safety. The hurricane represents everything ‘bad’ that happened to her in the book, but also how she overcame it. How it made her a better person. Or to be more specific, how each marriage, or event changed her personality, perspective, and her disposition on so many things/topics. Like marriage: going into her first marriage she thought that by default, love comes with marriage. It doesn’t. Not always. It can, but is also unlikely, and probably not the most desirable thing. Janie’s previous two husbands in my artwork are represented as shadows, because they’re shadows of her past, and people that made her unhappy, sad, or were abusive to her. The shadows represent those two specifically, but the hurricane essentially everything else that went wrong, as I mentioned before. Another reason why I had the cliffs in the artwork is because, not only was Janie falling, and trapped, but she was running away. She ran away from Jody to be with Logan, and then eventually Logan died. She didn’t run away from Logan necessarily, but she didn't stay long after he died. Through her turbulent journey of her whole life, she found and realized things that she wouldn't have known before without the choices she made at the time. For example, near the beginning of the book she was talking about how nanny was pressuring her to get married, every since she kissed a boy for the first time. In retrospect, it almost makes sense why nanny was so hurried: their family had a history of rape, and she was dying and wanted to see Janie well off in life. Although it didn’t work out as well, she can now speak from experience about multiple concepts she did not understand.

    1. She ordered one of her slaves to cut off the[Pg 19] head of the unfortunate victim, which was instantly done. At dinner her husband said he felt no disposition to eat, to which his wife, with the air of a demon, replied, perhaps I can give you something that will excite your appetite; it has at least had that effect before. She rose and drew from a closet the head of Coomba. The husband, shocked beyond expression, left the house and sailed immediately for France, in order never again to behold such a monster.

      Who was the monster? Is Coomba's humanity part of the horror here? Is she only incidental to the wife's excess?

    1. Poets and kings are but the clerks of Time, Tiering the same dull webs of discontent, Clipping the same sad alnage of the years.

      I get the feeling that this poem is more about someone (the poet, perhaps) sitting down to reread older poets and is either surprised or pleased that they still retain the power that they remembered they once had. The use of "sublime" at the head of this stanza makes me think of the Romantics (Blake, Shelley, Keats, etc), and the connection here to Keats makes me think of his poems where he describes sitting down to read old poetry and still being blown away by it ("On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer", "On Sitting Down to Read King Lear Once Again"), its poetry ABOUT reading poetry and the power it can have over someone. That is what I think is going on here in "The Clerks".

    2. And shook his head, and was again alone

      In isolation, it seems that Flood is playing two dimensions of himself; one being that person in his mind and the other being the person that speaks. Flood gets lonely when he is silent, this is because the self that speaks has left while his person that thinks is still present in his head.

      Maybe this is the reason why we speak out loud in certain situations. Imagine being lost in a dark cave. Some people might start talking to themselves out loud, not only to comfort themselves but to reason with the person in their head.

    3. He raised again the jug regretfully And shook his head, and was again alone.

      Imagery of this line is very vivid. Despite the fact he doesn't have much strength, he still pushes himself through the loneliness. He has embraced it towards the end.

It gave me chills at first yet it also brought up a couple of unthinkable questions in my head. "what would happen if I was born in Africa with my skin color?" "would i be stay myself and be an outcast like i was in middle and high school?" "Would I be considered a freak show?"

    1. hinder them from knowing a Woman they had once enjoy'd

      Although Haywood may attack the stereotypes of class distinction and other labels by framing them in terms of her disguises, we nevertheless find her drawing upon stereotypes of gender throughout much of Fantomina. In this passage, these stereotypes manifest in her portrayal of the relationship between man and woman in sexual intercourse as subject and object, respectively. For instance, the notion that one can “hinder” a man implies an agency in him not given to women. Furthermore, Haywood depicts sex as a one-sided experience whereby the woman is “enjoy’d” by the man. Thus, the woman – according to the passage – is nothing but an object of male pleasure subservient to the supremacy of the man in his actions.

      Haywood is not alone in her stereotypes: the subject-object relationship between men and women described in this passage can be found in other works published around the same time as Fantomina. For his 1751 art piece “The Four Stages of Cruelty” William Hogarth portrays a violent mob of pitchfork-wielding men standing before the unmoving body of a woman on the ground before them. By orienting the gaze and limbs of the mob in the direction of the unconscious woman, Hogarth quite literally makes her into an object of their attention. Likewise, he presents the mob of men as subjects through the contrast of color and sharply defined contours which draw the eye of the audience towards the shining bald head of their leader and the faces crowded around him. Haywood may have deviated from her critique of stereotypes, but she did so in accordance with the prevailing understanding of gender expressed by many of her contemporaries.

    1. Admonitions

      Fantomina is initially constantly depicted as if thought are constantly running back and forth in her head telling her to or not to have sex with Beauplaisir. At this point, it is definitively stated that no amount of will on her part will keep her from having sexual intercourse with him. The Oxford English Dictionary defines Admonish as a verb which means, “To exhort or urge (a person) to do something, esp. as a duty or obligation; to tell or warn (a person) that he or she should do something.” In this context Haywood is explaining that the main character is not listening to her inner advice to stay within her limits. With her limits being the societal expectations of a woman of her class. Instead of following what is expected of her by society, the main character gives in to her inner passions. These kind of passions would have been taboo for women in a higher class setting. With the rise of the middle class and novels like Haywood's, these sexual taboos would start to become widely discussed.

    1. Head

      If we compare the use of "Heart" in Pamela and the use of "Head" in Shamela, it can sum up what the difference is all about.

      Pamela is depicted as someone who cares about her honour, her family's and if Mr.B takes advantage of her or not, if he respects her intimacy and privacy. However, Shamela does not mind. In the contrary, she seeks to give him the image of the guilty man when she is the one in reality that has to do with all the fake/acted incident. Thus, Pamela cares about relationship, love, honour, family (Heart) when Shamela thinks about how to get Mr. B guilty and how to take advantage of him, how to act, how to make him feel (Head). Therefore, it's a fight between the Heart and the Head going on here, between honour and wealth, Pamela vs. Shamela.

    2. and I kept my Eyes wide open, and pretended to fix them in my Head

      When Shamela describes how she faints, it says a lot about the goals that she has in mind to achieve and how she does. In fact, "my Eyes wide open" transmits a message of full consciousness and full acceptance over what she does. Shamela, or also "Shameful Pamela", does not regret anything about what she is doing to frighten Mr.B and victimize herself. Moreover, the use of the verb "to fix" here talks about her eyes but also the ideology of staying fix and rigind in front of such situation conveys a message of Shamela as very determined to make him regret or feel weak about what is happening. Having the image of the victim is what she wants and acting seriously is how she gets it. Moreover, when she fixes her eyes in her head, the use of the word 'Head' in a way transmits to the fact that she is thinking about what happens and what she did is premeditated.

    1. Therefore thought it not in the least a Fault to put in practice a little Whim which came immediately into her Head, to dress herself as near as she could in the Fashion of those Women who make sale of their Favours, and set herself in the Way of being accosted as such a one, having at that Time no other Aim, than the Gratification of an innocent Curiosity.

      As the protagonist is describing how she is going to pull off this acting stunt, she describes how she has been left to her own devices and is not being watch over by anyone at the time. She states, “having no Body in Town, at that Time, to whom she was oblig'd to be accountable for her Action”. Due to this independence, I believe that our protagonist anticipated a situation that she did not fully thinking through and seems to jump on the impulse of the idea. This impulse and lack of true pre-planning is described in Fantomina when she stated that, “Therefore thought it not in the least a Fault to put in practice a little Whim which came immediately into her Head”. This impulse shows a type of mental immaturity that causes more trouble than the idea was worth in the end. As stated in the end of the quote, our protagonists had, “no other Aim, than the Gratification of an innocent Curiosity”. This quote shows how her expectations of the situation were very different than the reality of the situation. At first, this acting stunt was an attempt to experience something new and exciting, but soon spiraled out of control and lead to the unintended reality that our protagonist did not expect.

      Enlightenments Source: Excerpt from "The Elements of Moral Philosophy"

      In this excerpt from The Elements of Moral Philosophy by David Fordyce he states that, "no kind of Objects make so powerful an Impression on us as those which are immediately impressed on our Senses". This is a great explanation to the events that begin to occur in this passage of Fantomina. Our protagonist is immediately hooked to the idea of acting as the woman in the pit and seems to quickly jump on the opportunity. David Fordyce is describing the same sort of impulse that the protagonist of Fantomina jumps on and suggests that it is one of the strongest impressions that a sense can have on someone. This explanation would explain why the protagonist of Fantomina might not have completely thought through her impulse decision before acting on it.

    1. Whim

      This word choice serves, primarily, to establish the craftiness and further highlight the impulsiveness that Haywood has bestowed upon Fantomina. The Oxford English Dictionary defines "whim" as "A capricious notion or fancy; a fantastic or freakish idea; an odd fancy."

      "whim, n.1." OED Online, Oxford University Press, December 2019, www.oed.com/view/Entry/228353. Accessed 10 February 2020.

      This "whim" of Fantomina's is later described as coming "immediately into her head," and the fact that she chooses to act upon this sudden urge is a blatant display of impulsiveness and a lack or forethought. Furthermore, because a "whim" is a "fantastic or freakish idea," a great deal of creativity and craftiness is required to conjure one, especially with the speed at which Fantomina did. As such, Fantomina's whim is a testament of her craftiness and creativity of thought.

    1. Therefore thought it not in the least a Fault to put in practice a little Whim which came immediately into her Head, to dress herself as near as she could in the Fashion of those Women who make sale of their Favours

      Fantomina was a noble lady and dressing as one into the gallery box would raise suspicion and men present over there would have recognized her which either would have led them to report about it Fantomina's family or they would have just not talked to Fantomina as a sense of respect. Since Fantomina was an expert in disguising into a totally different character, she changed her accent and dressing whenever she changed her personality. For example when she was going to bath “The Dress she was in, was a round-ear'd Cap, a short Red Petticoat, and a little Jacket of Grey Stuff; all the rest of her Accoutrements were answerable to these, and join'd with a broad Country Dialect”. To make sure Beauplaisir does not recognize her she again changed into another personality by completely changing her sense of style of dressing and the dialect just for her to have a chance to make love with him once again. The object from the gallery in the link below perfectly shows how Fantomina switched her personalities. For her it was as easy as wearing a new mask over her face.

    1. Trying to chase that old white man out of my head. I been so busy thinking bout him I never truly notice nothing God make. Not a blade of corn (how it do that?) not the color purple (where it come from?). Not the little wildflowers. Nothing. Now that my eyes opening, I feels like a fool. Next to any little scrub of a bush in my yard, Mr. 's evil sort of shrink.

      [Verse 1] How could she believe He who never cares for her When pools of tears she cries Never get to dry? If she were not an outcast Wouldn’t they all know?

      There is no “God” for she who weeps alone

      [Pre-chorus 1] But a loving voice says otherwise She’s let herself lose sight Of a world that holds her tight Though man has gone down another path, It’s not too late to see What lies beyond a path of misery

      [Chorus] She’s opened her eyes And embraced every wonder that he can’t crumble She’s made up her mind To paint with every color

      [Interlude]

      [Verse 2] People come and go But they leave a mark on her Sometimes a scar that she Feels ashamed to own But these wounds will never last Or keep her locked away

      She is a life more precious than any gold

      [Pre-chorus 2] And a loving voice says, “I’ll hold you tight,” “Don’t shrink away in fear “As long as I am here” And the world is shown in a brighter light It’s not too late to see What lies beyond a path of misery

      [Chorus] She’s opened her eyes And embraced every wonder that he can’t crumble She’s made up her mind To paint with every color

      [Bridge] But when the voice isn’t there, Is there anyone who’d love her just as much? For a moment she’s lost, Like the child she wants to run from

      It’s alright

      [Final Chorus] She’s learned how to write Her own story, despite what they all might tell her This time she’ll be fine And love with every color

    1. have furnished his disgrace that way

      This passage is talking about how the slave traders feared and prevented Oroonoko from committing suicide. Furnished is defined as “Possessed of one's faculties physical and mental”. In this case furnished is in regards to the ideas about suicide in Oroonoko’s head. This passage specifically shows Oroonoko’s suicidal thoughts and even alludes to his later murder suicide attempt of himself and his beloved Imoinda.

    2. quit himself of a lfe that would by no means endure slavery, nor could he move from the place where he was tied to any solid part of the ship agaisnt which he might have beat his head

      This passage shows a glimpse into how Oroonoko feels about being enslaved. The slave traders had to tie Oroonoko to where he was unable to move for fear that he would kill himself by banging his head repeatedly and or retaliate for being captured. Oroonoko later attempts to lead a rebellion and that it is more honorable to die than continue being enslaved (https://enlightenmens.lmc.gatech.edu/items/show/102). Thus this passage alludes to future slave rebellion and Oroonoko’s discontempt with a life of slavery even before he had been sold into slavery.

    1. "My God-" said George, "that must be Harrison!" The realization was blasted from his mind instantly by the sound of an automobile collision in his head.

      This is a very intense moment in the story; for George to not be able to process his son's escape.

      George and Hazel are both contented with a fight being waged on their minds, they are tired and complacent. In this moment, when George could be fighting back for clarity. The mental handicaps come in once again, scattering his thoughts and reminding him of his exhaustion. This is the emotional climax of the story.

    2. There was the sound of a rivetting gun in his head.

      This wasn't the sound of a mental handicap this time. It was the sound of Harrison Bergeron getting shot reverberating in his mind.

    1. And then he replied, smiling, "A blessing on thee"; and assured them they need not tie him, for he would stand fixed like a rock, and endure death so as should encourage them to die; "But, if you whip me," said he, "be sure you tie me fast." He had learned to take tobacco; and when he was assured, he should die, he desired they would give him a pipe in his mouth, ready lighted; which they did. And the executioner came, and first cut off his members, and threw them into the fire; after that, with an ill-favoured knife, they cut off his ears and his nose and burned them; he still smoked on, as if nothing had touched him; then they hacked off one of his arms, and still he bore up, and held his pipe; but at the cutting off the other arm, his head sunk, and his pipe dropped, and he gave up the ghost, without a groan or a reproach.

      The text, Oroonoko written by a white woman, Aphra Behn can not be regarded as a true incite into the lives of the black slaves or their ‘execution’ due to the contrast between the vivid description of slavery and its happenings in the writings published by white women and the devastating details provided by the African-American writers in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. As evidenced in the other pieces of African-American literature, such as the difference between the expression of thoughts in ‘On Imagination’ and ‘On Being Brought from Africa to America’ which was written by the same African-American poet, Phillis Wheatley in the eighteenth century, the white rule influenced the true incite supported by the fact that the difference in the two was because one was written during the time of enslavement and under the patronage of a white woman, Selina Hastings. In ‘Oroonoko’, we observe how Oroonoko is able to carry a friendly and peaceful conversation with her despite how he was tricked into being a part of the slave trade and made to work in the fields against his will. “I was as impatient to make these lovers a visit, having already made a friendship with Caesar, and from his own mouth learned what I have related.” The use of the word, ‘friendship’ indicates how white women were interested in the lives of black slaves and puts the African-Americans to a really high position of ‘friends’ when they were actually treated as slaves.

    2. but at the cutting off the other arm, his head sunk, and his pipe dropped, and he gave up the ghost,

      “But at the cutting off the other arm, his head sunk, and his pipe dropped, and he gave up the ghost,”; The author, Aphra Behn seems to question the existence of God, faith, and trust by making use of the word, ‘ghost’ when Oroonoko gives up his last breath. As evidenced by "Sensible Proof of Spirits": Ghost Belief during the Later Seventeenth Century, which was written by Jo Bath and John Newton, the word, ‘ghost’ implies empirical evidence for the existence of God. “Ghosts had been cast in the role of supporting the whole superstructure of the immaterial world, and the whole edifice of religion seemed to rest on the success of the performance.” I believe that Aphra Behn implies a lost in hope, faith, and humanity when this hideous crime is committed. It reflects the injustice that is being done by continuing this practice of slavery and execution.

    1. There were times when I could not afford to sacrifice the bloom of the present moment to any work, whether of the head or hands.

      This quote is saying he does not really have any free time to read books because he is working on building his house and working in the garden.

    2. There were times when I could not afford to sacrifice the bloom of the present moment to any work, whether of the head or hands.

      Work is an important part of live, but it should not overrule everything. When a once and a live time moment or a "bloom" comes along, don't give that moment to work. Whether it's physical work or mental work. Give yourself a break and just enjoy the moment.

    1. she naturally bounded out to greet him. In a moment captured by disturbing surveillance footage, as Dutchess came toward the officer, he instinctively fired three gunshots into her head

      This form of cruelty should not be allowed in the police form .unless the dog is showing physical signs of aggression police officers should not be allowed to shot a dog dead. He also didn't try to shot him to stop even if he was charging at him. He shot him in the head 3 times to ensure he would die afterwards.

    1. Janie held his head tightly to her breast and wept and thanked him wordlessly for giving her the chance for loving service

      Who am I bounded by the person I love?

      Who am I when I give up everything for someone I think I love,

      The manipulation game, just for what we think is love.

      I am here for you, and all you want to do is tell me how to live my life. It was that day under the pear tree, I thought we had it all, Maybe that was just me being hopeful, The day I ran away I never looked back. You were just for Nanny.

      Then you were the surprise in my life. My unpredictable, spontaneous, fun that kept me from reality. You were proof that people like us can get stuff done, But not girls like me. This isn’t loving, it’s abuse. When love had left us, pain took its slot. I was the one silenced, and you were the one who kept it that way.

      Three times a charm, I guess I never loved anyone the way I loved him, I long the days after your last. You were my final true love, You were the one who made me safe, who conversed with me, and loved me back. You were the one.

    1. And dear John gathered me up in his arms, and just carried me upstairs and laid me on the bed, and sat by me and read to me till it tired my head.

      His infantilization of her is honestly pretty disturbing. He gets such a weird power trip from this and it's obvious he's the one with the real issues.

    2. He said that after the wall-paper was changed it would be the heavy bedstead, and then the barred windows, and then that gate at the head of the stairs, and so on.

      The details of the room that Gilman chooses to reveal about the room our narrator is in seem eerie and ominous. The bars on the window and the gate at the top of the stairs give an impression of a prison or a place that is meant to keep its occupant decisively inside. The fact that they are revealed in such a casual manner by the narrator gives some additional perspective on her mindset. These features seem to be nothing new to her, or at the very least do not seem to make her uneasy. It begs the question as to whether or not she has been in an environment or situation like this before. If these were unfamiliar features of a living situation, one would think she would comment on them unfavorably.

    1. Janie tried that, but short of telling Mrs. Turner bluntly, there was nothing she could do to discourage her completely. She felt honored by Janie’s acquaintance and she quickly forgave and forgot snubs in order to keep it.

      LEO KENNEDY ARTIST STATEMENT

      My remix is a poem based on my thoughts and feelings about the main character (Janie) in the book “Their Eyes Were Watching God.” The reason that I decided to write a poem instead of making a presentation or a painting or some other kind of creation is because I felt poetry was the clearest way for me to show how I felt about the book and Janie and also to convey a sense of who Janie is.
      

      Specifically, I thought about Janie’s sense of independence and how she always seems better off on her own than she is with anyone else. Janie wants to find love and have a husband but in the world and time she lives in, she can’t be herself in a relationship. She lets other people talk her down and take control of her decisions. She is always sad when she can’t do what she wants, but she can't do what she wants because of her husbands. At the beginning of the book, Nanny catches Janie kissing a boy. Before Nanny starts talking to Janie, the narrator says “That was the end of her childhood” (Neale Hurston, Page 12). In my poem, I convey this scene by writing about Janie leaving behind her childhood and suddenly becoming an adult. (“She is grown up/Against her will.”) After Nanny catches the two, she starts talking to Janie about marriage, and says she wants to set Janie up with a man. Janie tries to deny that she is becoming a woman, because she realizes that she doesn't want to be married to anyone. In my creation, I try to show how Janie throughout the book keeps trying to not be dictated by her mother and Nanny and so many of the rest of the people in her life.. Janie has many experiences with love in her life and it seems to me that she always lets her lover dictate her actions. She has three husbands throughout the book and she is heavily influenced by all of them. She is rarely totally herself around her husbands but the novel helps us understand that this is not always completely Janie’s fault; at the time it was standard for women to act formal or “womanlike” around their husbands and to be submissive. At one point, she tells Nanny, “But Nanny, Ah wants to want him sometimes. Ah don’t want him to do all de wantin’” (Neale Hurston, Page 23). She tells Nanny this because she can't tell Logan Killicks (her first husband) herself. This trouble in being able to express herself starts to unveil a pattern of problems within her current marriage that will continue into her future marriages. This is one of the points of my poem/creation: In marriage, Janie always becomes less true to herself, but as you read the novel and get to know her, you begin to understand that she needs to stay true to herself in order to be happy. Janie also feels as if she is still alone even though she is married. At one point she talks to Jody about being married to Logan. Janie says, “ ‘It’s all right Ah reckon, but don’t yuh think it keeps us in uh kinda strain?’ ” (Neale Hurston, Page 46). Jody dismisses the comment and a feeling of coldness and loneliness overtakes Janie. This shows further how alone and sad Janie feels with her marital obligations, and how much she wants to be set free. At one point in the book, Tea Cake (her third husband) whips Janie. He is jealous because there are many new men in town who make “passes” at her. He wants to make her understand that he is always in control of her. Hurston describes it this way: “Before the week was over he had whipped Janie… Being able to whip her reassured him in possession.” (Neale Hurston, 147). What amazed me in reading that part of Janie’s story is how she is able to keep her head up despite this abuse. Before this happened, he and Janie have had a pretty good relationship and while you can see how his violence may have hurt her, she managed to remain emotionally strong even after this act of betrayal. In other words, while she didn't necessarily stand up to him, she refused to let it affect their relationship, which continues almost to the end of the book. Again, Janie’s sense of herself seems to define her character. I convey this in my poem by saying “After all of the hurting and all of the beating, she stays independent.” At the end of the book, it seems that Janie finally reaches a point of peace in her life, after all of the countless struggles that she has gone through. Somehow, after her husband dies, she finds a place of relaxation and happiness. In a way, she accepts the fact that life can be extremely horrible and hurt you greatly. I convey this at the end of my poem in a passage that says: “Janie Lived a hard life/But keeps going/Because that's life.” By the end of the book my feeling was that Janie didn't stay fully true to herself. If she had had her way, she wouldn't have married Logan Killicks and she wouldn't have let him and all her husbands abuse her. She would’ve stood up for herself. She would have done what she had wanted to do. Even though, throughout her marriages, Janie couldn't be exactly who she wanted to be, she still tried to be as much herself as she could. In my poem I try to communicate my feelings about Janie independence. To represent her three marriages, I repeat her name every three sentences. I compare her to a lone tree in a field, which I feel represents her well; a cover of the book also shows a lone tree in a field. I try to connect the poem to my feelings about the book and about Janie in as many ways possible, using incidents from all parts of the story. I try to show Janie’s development in my poem, for example by referring to how Nanny tells her to get married, and Janie’s realization that life can be awful and you may have to live with it. I feel as if this book is mostly about the idea of independence. It is about the life of a young black woman growing up in the early 20th century, who has to find a way through all of the discrimination and the rules that keep women down to try to find happiness. Somehow, through all of her struggles, she stays true to herself. Overall, it is very inspiring to read about how a person, even a made-up person, could push through all of that sexism and segregation. Janie stood out to me because I honestly didn't expect her to be able to stand strong in this way. I thought she might end up crumbling or failing or end up dying or killing herself. But she did the opposite. She was incredibly brave.

      The second painting transitions to the moment Shug Avery introduced pleasure to Celie. It was the first time in awhile that Celie felt emotion, specifically happiness. The painting introduces color to Celie’s life. It depicts a blur of a woman, which is Celie when she is in the realm of pleasure, walking amongst a colorful forest. Every tree is different, they encompass different colors to represent the rollercoaster of emotions Celie starts to experience. As Celie experienced something out of her usual routine, I did too. For this painting, I tried to use a different style of painting called knife painting. I used a knife to lay out the different color of leaves on each tree, which adds texture into the painting. I wanted to show that Celie is changing her ways, maybe unnoticeably, but definitely subconsciously.

      Its ironic that while Oroonoko wants no part in Caesar's history, and he hates the "empire of the world", he was forced to go by the name Caesar. The catholic church is essentially the roman empire of this time, and by giving him the name Caesar, Mr. Trefry forces the responsibility for his current position and the state of the world onto Oroonoko. He is shackled to the destiny of Caesar, to be brutally murdered in the end, but he faces it head on, unlike Caesar who was stabbed in the back by dishonest men.

    1. young

      Haywood's emphasis on Fantomina's young age serves primarily to place the reader in her head space; whether the reader is young and can relate to being infant-like to the world and to society, or the reader was once young and felt such things, one can sympathize with a young person who is desperate to belong and have a place. Haywood's primary goal, here, is to establish Fantomina's motivation and mindset.

    1. with that learning which is to be gained from books

      Through this, Johnson is saying that not all people can or should be novelists. Later in the passage, Johnson discusses that authors should have the ability to "distinguish those parts of nature, which are most proper for imitation" in order to make sure that readers are learning the right moral lessons. Johnson's pinpointing of preferred authors as "learned" would likely mean reading the theories of Locke. Locke's foremost theory was that the mind was an empty container, and that a person's mindset is made by "letting in" certain ideas. That's why a good novelist to Johnson would be someone who knows the proper ideas to have and would write that book to let the ideas into a person's head.

    1. This business of the head-rag irked her endlessly.

      Artist Statement

      My artwork was a response to the 9th invintation to create - Good Hair. That particular invitation was the most important one for me and has had the biggest effect on my personal understanding of the book, as well as black culture.

      The quote: “This business of the head-rag irked her endlessly. But Jody was set on it. Her hair was NOT going to show in the store. It didn’t seem sensible at all. That was because Joe never told Janie how jealous he was. He never told her how often he had seen the other men figuratively wallowing in it as she went about things in the store. And one night he had caught Walter standing behind Janie and brushing the back of his hand back and forth across the loose end of her braid ever so lightly so as to enjoy the feel of it without Janie knowing what he was doing. Joe was at the back of the store and Walter didn’t see him. He felt like rushing forth with the meat knife and chopping off the offending hand. That night he ordered Janie to tie up her hair around the store. That was all.” (p. 55) ...that was attached to that invitation almost seemed like a summary of the entire book to me - all the oppression that Janie has been going through her entire life put into her own husband’s hatred towards her hair. This quote clearly shows how Joe showed his sexism towards Janie:“Thank yuh for yo’ compliments, but mah wife don’t know nothin’ ‘bout no speech-makin’. Ah never married her for nothin’ lak dat. She’s uh woman and her place is in de home.” pg. 43. He thinks that she is not capable of making a good speech and claims that the woman’s place is nothing more than being in the house. Joe has been throwing around a lot of sexist comments aimed at Janie that made her feel worthless, and him asking to put her hair away was very summarizing - the book seemed to make a point about the oppression people were facing by their own community. Joe not only was very sexist, but was clearly uncomfortable with Janie’s comfortability to wear her hair the way she wanted to - in a natural state. Janie’s hair was too much for Joe, because he did not want Janie to feel comfortable in her own skin. He wanted to control Janie, and her feeling good about herself was not on his plan. Janie’s hair seemed to represent the confidence and power that she had, and Joe’s comment seemed to represent the society’s desire to kill that confidence in your natural self.

      Even though the book describes the events that are not current, the movie “Good Hair” represents a more modern version of people’s relationships with black hair - negative. 
      

      The trailer shows how a man was trying to sell afro-wigs, while the stores mainly sold the wigs with straight hair. No one bought the afro hair, and the woman in the store, who was African American, described it as nappy. The movie and the book, regardless of the time difference, seemed to be sending a very similar message regarding the society’s perception of beauty. That part of the book seems to be making a statement that is still relevant today. The natural black hair is rarely accepted by the society and is often judged - it falls on the “bad side” of the spectrum. Now and then society had its form of oppression that consisted of making women feel uncomfortable in their natural state in order to better control them, brainwashing them into believing that they are not good enough the way they are.

      That topic had a big effect on me because of how relevant it is to this day. Discussing this topic could definitely be beneficial, because that is only one form of oppression that black women experience. It was carried on for centuries, and shows how much we, as a society, have to work on to  this day, as well as how little comments  about one’s appearance can have a negative effect on somebody’s view and acceptance of themselves. 
      
      The 9th invitation to create has inspired me into finishing up my artwork that I have previously started and writing a poem that would go with it. 
      The painting that I made is a picture of an African American woman, painted fully with green. That artwork seemed relevant to this project, because I have been previously familiar with society’s “requests” on how women should look, including the hair aspect, and the drawing was meant to be empowering and natural at the same time.
      

      Color green is very closely connected with nature - making the painting fully green was supposed to send the message to the observer that the woman is, as well, is connected to nature, and feels confident to be natural. The character's facial expression was meant to be calm, but strong - not aggressively confident, but calmly confident, without the need to “prove” anything to anyone. The character has textured hair, but decides to wear it natural, still feeling good and comfortable.

      The poem was meant to be read while looking at the painting and to guide the reader’s attention to the topic of the project - hair in its natural state. 
      

      Hair, my beautiful hair. A crown that sits on my head. Curly, straight, black or fair, It can never be bad. Hair, my beautiful hair. Natural, long, short or bare. I love the way it swings in the wind.

      The quote brings attention to the hair aspect. By using the phrase “It can never be bad”, I am making a reference to the 9th invintation to create, since it uses simple words like good or bad hair.
      
      
      The 9th invintation to create is a very teachable topic, that shows how things that might seem little at a first glance, like judging someone’s hair, might have a big effect on people, and how we can make changes in our society by fixing it. Responding to this invintation was very inspiring, and resulted into creating a poem and finishing up a painting that has been made before.

    1. But they, too, ultimately moved on. As that happened new students and volunteers were always joining.

      I can gin up the empathy to imagine what you are saying. I feel it most when someone cares enough to drop back by, poke their head in my door and say thank you or just a kind hello. I can feel that and I know you can, too. Most people on the outside don't know who we are. They don't even know they are on the 'outside'. I say this more in sorrow than in anger. And I realize that the anger I feel is easier to feel than this sorrow. I wish I could keep the connections but the entire structure of school WORKS AGAINST LONG-TERM CONNECTION. And those caps are the anger in me, open and raw. The sorrow I feel is altogether something...different, harder to feel, internalized into depression if not dealt with. So...thanks for the mental health moment. I certainly need it.
