    2. I caught sight of her at the play, and in answer to her beckoning, I went over during the interval and sat down beside her. She addressed me brightly."Well, it's many years since we first met. Do you remember the first time I saw you? You asked me to luncheon.”Did I remember?It was twenty years ago and I was living in Paris. I had a tiny apartment in the Latin quarter overlooking a cemetery, and I was earning barely enough money to keep body and soul together. She had read a book of mine and had written to me about it. I answered, thanking her, and presently I received from her another letter saying that she was passing through Paris and would like to have a chat with me; she was spending the morning at the Luxembourg and would I give her a little luncheon at Foyot's afterwards? Foyot's is a restaurant at which the French senators eat, and it was so far beyond my means that I had never even thought of going there. But I was flattered, and I was too young to have learned to say no to a woman.I answered that I would meet my friend – by correspondence – at Foyot's on Thursday at half-past twelve. She was not so young as I expected and in appearance imposing rather than attractive. She was, in fact, a woman of forty. She was talkative, but since she seemed inclined to talk about me I was prepared to be an attentive listener.I was startled when the bill of fare was brought, for the prices were a great deal higher than I had anticipated. But she reassured me."I never eat anything for luncheon," she said."Oh, don't say that!" I answered generously."I never eat more than one thing. I think people eat far too much nowadays. A little fish, perhaps. I wonder if they have any salmon."I ordered it for my guest. The waiter asked her if she would have something while it was being cooked."No," she answered, "I never eat more than one thing unless you have a little caviare, I never mind caviare."My heart sank a little. I knew I could not afford caviare, but I could not very well tell her that. I told the waiter by all means to bring caviare. For myself I chose the cheapest dish on the menu and that was a mutton chop."I think you are unwise to eat meat," she said. "I don't know how you can expect to work after eating heavy things like chops. I don't believe in overloading my stomach."Then came the question of drink."I never drink anything for luncheon," she said."Neither do I," I answered promptly."Except white wine," she proceeded as though I had not spoken. "These French white wines are so light. They're wonderful for the digestion.""What would you like?" I asked, hospitable still.She gave me a bright and amicable flash of her white teeth."My doctor won't let me drink anything but champagne."I fancy I turned a trifle pale. I ordered half a bottle. I mentioned casually that my doctor had absolutely forbidden me to drink champagne."What are you going to drink, then?""Water."She ate the caviare and she ate the salmon. She talked gaily of art and literature and music. But I wondered what the bill would come to. When my mutton chop arrived she took me quite seriously to task."I see that you're in the habit of eating a heavy luncheon. I'm sure it's a mistake. Why don't you follow my example and just eat one thing? I'm sure you'd feel ever so much better for it.""I am only going to eat one thing." I said, as the waiter came again with the bill of fare.She waved him aside with an airy gesture."No. no. I never eat anything for luncheon. Just a bite, I never want more than that, and I eat that more as an excuse for conversation than anything else. I couldn't possibly eat anything more unless they had some of those giant asparagus. I should be sorry to leave Paris without having some of them."My heart sank. I had seen them in the shops, and I knew that they were horribly expensive. My mouth had often watered at the sight of them."Madame wants to know if you have any of those giant asparagus." I asked the waiter.I tried with all my might to will him to say “no”. A happy smile spread over his broad, priest-like face, and he assured me that they had some so large, so splendid, so tender, that it was a marvel."I'm not in the least hungry," my guest sighed, "but if you insist I don't mind having some asparagus."I ordered them."Aren't you going to have any?""No, I never eat asparagus.""I know there are people who don't like them. The fact is, you ruin your palate by all the meat you eat."We waited for the asparagus to be cooked. Panic seized me. It was not a question now of how much money I should have left over for the rest of the month, but whether I had enough to pay the bill.The asparagus appeared. They were enormous, succulent, and appetising. The smell of the melted butter tickled my nostrils. I watched the abandoned woman thrust them down her throat in large voluptuous mouthfuls, and in my polite way I discoursed on the condition of the drama in the Balkans. At last she finished."Coffee?" I said."Yes, just an ice-cream and coffee,” she answered.I ordered coffee for myself and an ice-cream and coffee for her."You know, there's one thing I thoroughly believe in," she said, as she ate the ice-cream. "One should always get up from a meal feeling one could eat a little more.""Are you still hungry?" I asked faintly."Oh, no, I'm not hungry; you see, I don't eat luncheon. I have a cup of coffee in the morning and then dinner, but I never eat more than one thing for luncheon. I was speaking for you.""Oh, I see!"Then a terrible thing happened. While we were waiting for the coffee, the head waiter came up to us bearing a large basket full of huge peaches. But surely peaches were not in season then. Lord knew what they cost. I knew too – a little later, for my guest, going on with her conversation, absentmindedly took one."You see, you've filled your stomach with a lot of meat" – my one miserable little chop – "and you can't eat any more. But I've just had a snack and I shall enjoy a peach."The bill came and when I paid it I found that I had only enough for a quite inadequate tip. Her eyes rested for an instant on the three francs I left for the waiter, and I knew that she thought me mean. But when I walked out of the restaurant I had the whole month before me and not a penny in my pocket."Follow my example," she said as we shook hand, "and never eat more than one thing for luncheon.""I'll do better than that," I retorted. "I'll eat nothing for dinner tonight.""Humorist!" she cried gaily, jumping into a cab. "You're quite a humorist!"But I have had my revenge at last. I do not believe that I am a vindictive man, but when the immortal gods take a hand in the matter it is pardonable to observe the result with complacency. Today she weighs twenty-one stone.

    1. ust as global geopolitics have shifted, so has the role of schools fundamentally shifted. Cultural and linguistic diversity are now central and critical issues. As a result, the meaning of literacy pedagogy has changed. Local diversity and global connectedness mean not only that there can be no standard; they also mean that the most important skill students need to learn is to negotiate regional, ethnic, or class-based dialects; variations in register that occur according to social context; hybrid cross-cultural discourses; the code switching often to be found within a text among different languages, dialects, or registers; different visual and iconic meanings; and variations in the gestural relationships among people, language, and material objects. Indeed, this is the only hope for averting the catastrophic conflicts about identities and spaces that now seem ever ready to flare up.

      25 years later and The new London group hit this issue on the head. I work with upcoming TESOL teachers and we almost say this same language about the shift in education. Now you see culturally and linguistically responsive practices, so that students' languages, cultures, and identities are now part of educational and social contexts. Old World literacy is being surpassed with the support of multiliteracies.

    1. this creature went out of her mind and was wonderly vexed and labored with spirits half year eight weeks and odd days

      the devil has left her head and is now mixed with spirits that have about the same age as the full term of a pregnancy. The pregnancy had driven her mad.

    1. He claimed that he could comfortably rattle off about 180 words a minute—faster than he could comfortably talk.

      That's funny, because would't that mean to also think in these abbreviations? Because I usually even if I don't say them aloud "voice" my thoughts at least inside my head. Not sure I am that much of a fan of speed and efficiency to give up wanting to think in words and sentences.

      "A typical shorthand system provides symbols or abbreviations for words and common phrases, which can allow someone well-trained in the system to write as quickly as people speak." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorthand

      The other thing is even with today's voice capture and dictation systems ( if they work without hiccups) still, isn't the essential part that makes anything worth reading afterwards the pretty slow procedure of editing? I guess I don't think the real challenge with augmenting human intellect is speed.

    2. You don't know. He's a nice enough guy, but he sure gets preachy

      Maybe one of my favorite sentences. Who is he talking about? Is this Engelbart on Engelbart? The conversations in his head?

    3. The writing machine and its flexible copying capability would occupy you for a long time if you tried to exhaust the reverberating chain of associated possibilities for making useful innovations within your capability hierarchy.

      I wonder and doubt that school children, when they are introduced to word processors, often get invited to grasp and start exploring the possibilities of the capability expanding writing machine. 


      I left school in Germany 1995 and till then had never written anything on a computer. But when I finally did, I still felt ashamed about my “messy” writing/thinking process. A process, which transformed from countless notes and rewrites of scratched out text on paper to having many digital documents open at the same time and copying and pasting like crazy. Not only my own writing but gathering text and ideas from others to help me with my own thoughts and how to express what I want to say.

      At least in Germany, we still tell children that knowledge is worthless, if it’s not stored in your own head. We make them believe that the important part of using your intellect, is not about using knowledge and making new connections, but about “being original.” While, on the other hand, learning is represented as just being good at memorising facts. That’s why, till today, one of the biggest concerns is plagiarism. I was told that even without an assignment being an official test, kids still sometimes are prohibited to make use of wikipedia. This idea about knowledge is also reflected in that people often take it as a cue to dismiss your reasoning as unfounded, when (to back up an argument) you take out your phone to search for facts, you know about but can’t recollect.

      (Of course in Germany young people are often seen as not being able to think for themselves at all - one example is the recent attack on Greta Thunberg and the #FridaysForFuture protesters by Angela Merkel, who insinuated them being marionettes controlled by “external influence” 
https://twitter.com/jdoeschner/status/1097089168365228032 ). 



      This article argues that a digitalisation of German schools is too expensive, will only make children play games and chat during lessons and is therefore unnecessary… It’s from 2018.

      “The claim that smartphones in the hands of children and adolescents are primarily instruments of the knowledge society is adventurous.” (*smart phones because since nobody wants to pay for computers in schools “the solution” proposed by the school minister of North Rhine Westphalia is that school children should bring their own devices)

      We sadly seem to be extremely far away from even imagining collectively augmenting human intellect.

    4. III. EXAMPLES AND DISCUSSION

      This is the beginning of the second excerpt we're focusing on in Week 2 of the Engelbart Framework Annotation Project, This second excerpt comprises Section III, part A, subsections 1 and 2. Engelbart tells his readers early in this report that Section II often proves very difficult at first reading, and advises those who find Section III tough going to head to Section III, read it, and then go back to Section II.

      Section III also includes the "Joe" section, the "fiction-dialogue" as Engelbart calls it. This section will be our focus in Week 3.

    1. tale

      This story became interesting once my mind clicked and made that connection with the Nicklecreek song 'The Fox' which is one of my favorites. I really found it hilarious when I pictured the story being told from a hen and roosters' perspectives. There are definitely some elements that had me scratching my head...like the purgative herbs. Purgative immediately has me deriving from Purgatory, the place between Heaven and Hell but not Earth. So a sleeping pill that will make you not dream but won't keep you awake...I'm guessing. But all in all a very interesting read!

    1. !

      Round 2 of Canterbury, this one was pretty wack honestly. We got some cheating, we got tubs hanging from the ceiling, pokers, butts. Like man this is just getting pretty crazy but what still makes me laugh is the lie of the flood like bro how in the world would anyone believe that but I guess that’s why I called him Loki in my head dude could trick a mirror.

    2. Skittish she was as is a pretty colt, Tall as a staff and straight as cross-bow bolt.

      I really like the imagery the author uses to describe people or things in his story. It really does help to paint a clear image in the head.

    3.    The deathlike sleep of utter weariness Fell on this wood-wright even, as I guess About the curfew time, or little more; For travail of his spirit he groaned sore, And soon he snored, for badly his head lay. 540 Down by the ladder crept this Nicholay, And Alison, right softly down she sped. Without more words they went and got in bed Even where the carpenter was wont to lie. There was the revel and the melody!

      Nicholay tricked the carpenter into working so hard on his flood scam, that it exhausted him. The carpenter fell asleep and there was no way he was going to wake up from where he was at. Nicholay and Alison secretly snuck away and slept together, knowing that the carpenter wouldn't wake up to find out. I'm not surprised by the soothsayer scam. It still happens today.

    1. You're a coach, parent, player, gym teacher or even just a fan who likes watching balls fly into nets, send $20. You saved a life. Take the rest of the day off. You have ever had a net in the driveway, front lawn or on your head at McDonald's, send $20. You ever imagined Angelina Jolie in fishnets, $20. So you stay home and eat on the dinette. You'll live. Hey, Dick's Sporting Goods. You have 255 stores. How about you kick in a dime every time you sell a net? Hey, NBA players, hockey stars and tennis pros, how about you donate $20 every time one of your shots hits the net? Maria Sharapova, you don't think this applies to you just because you're Russian? Nyet!

      I really enjoy what Reilly does here. While the article is mostly working within the framework of sports references, he recruits an even greater audience by including anyone who has ever done anything with a net of any kind. His goal is to warp your association with the word "net" in any context to make you remember the most important nets are the ones that save lives.

    1. You’ll be a swamper here tillthey take you out in a box. Hell, I seen too many guys. Lennie here’ll quit an’ beon the road in two, three weeks. Seems like ever’ guy got land in his head.”

      Many guys love with Lennie as been in the road for two three weeks.

    2. Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobodygets no land. It’s just in their head. They’re all the time talkin’ about it, but it’sjus’ in their head.” He paused and looked toward the open door, for the horseswere moving restlessly and the halter chains clinked. A horse whinnied. “I guesssomebody’s out there,” Crooks said.

      Nobody love to get heaven as while it might be in no land as he thought if the horses will be for whinnied and out there.

    3. Slim throwed a scare into you. You’reyella as a frog belly. I don’t care if you’re the best welter in the country. Youcome for me, an’ I’ll kick your God damn head off.”

      Slim love to be throwing a scare as yella of the frog bella and kicking.

    4. “They’d nibble an’ they’d nibble,” said Lennie, “the way they do. I seen‘em.”“Ever’ six weeks or so,” George continued, “them does would throw a litterso we’d have plenty rabbits to eat an’ to sell. An’ we’d keep a few pigeons to goflyin’ around the win’mill like they done when I was a kid.” He looked raptly atthe wall over Lennie’s head. “An’ it’d be our own, an’ nobody could can us. Ifwe don’t like a guy we can say, ‘Get the hell out,’ and by God he’s got to do it.An’ if a fren’ come along, why we’d have an extra bunk, an’ we’d say, ‘Whydon’t you spen’ the night?’ an’ by God he would. We’d have a setter dog and acouple stripe cats, but you gotta watch out them cats don’t get the little rabbits.”

      Lennie leads to throw a litter of just having a plenty rabbits that is from selling it as while knowing if the setter dog can do in a couple stripe cats tat is one of them cats as not getting little rabbits.

    1. After waiting for hours to be interviewed, the head of admissions told her that, despite her high test scores, the university wouldn’t accept her due to her religion, and pointed her towards a less prestigious school.

      Its sad that highly intelligent students sometimes get turned down by the school of their dreams due to what the believe in.

    1. Councils could make more effective use of their data if they ensure the people working on data protection also play a part in exploitation of that information, Geoff Connell, head of information management at Norfolk County Council, has said.

      This is an interesting approach.

    1. Students presented and tested design prototypes, then discussed ideas for refinement.

      These interconnecting components of PPS seem like the students knew exactly in what direction to head on and everything seemed very well planned out.

    1. He adorned the body with parts, such as thehand, foot, head, face, belly, frame, sensation, and other things, and gaveeach one, such as the heart, liver,

      This description of God creating man is one devoid of emotion and paints God's character as so.

    1. Isn’t it time to start ignoring the calamitous annual claims that this is the hottest year on record?

      This is again a claim about the annual mean temperature, not about local daily maxima.

      2018 was the fourth warmest year. With the last five years being the five warmest years we have a real problem. Putting your head in the sand does not protect what we hold dear.

    1. t’s like dating Spider-Man. You’re walking along with him and he says something remarkably interesting—but then he tilts his head, hearing something far away, and suddenly shoots a web onto the near-est building and zooms away through the air. As if you had just read an interesting quotation dangling at the end of a paragraph, you wanted to hear more of his opinion, but it’s too late—he’s already moved on.

      I like the comparison Stedman uses to describe this and allow the reader understand the concept more efficiently. This gave me a better view on this and it was only because he used an interesting way to show the problem with uses "paragraph-beginning or paragraph-closing quotation" in writing. It makes everything feel rushed and unfinished.

    1. However, since Dante was Christian and wrote from his beliefs and not those of the Greeks, the head must still represent the earliest humans who were closest to God.  

      nice move!

    1. You can trip and hit your head or break a limb and get seriously hurt, so someone needs to watch over you when you are using VR. That's mandatory."

      this is why the apps should only be used in classrooms because the person will be surrounded by adults and peers that can watch them and lookout for them.

    1. The writing machine and its flexible copying capability would occupy you for a long time if you tried to exhaust the reverberating chain of associated possibilities for making useful innovations within your capability hierarchy.

      I wonder and doubt that school children, when they are introduced to word processors, often get invited to grasp and start exploring the possibilities of the capability expanding writing machine.

      We sadly seem to be extremely far away from even imagining collectively augmenting human intellect.

    1. But it was very tantalising that it should fluctuate so; for sometimes I saw that room quite plain and clear—quite as clear as I could see papa’s library, for example, when I shut my eyes. I compared it naturally to my father’s study, because of the shape of the writing-table, which, as I tell you, was the same as his. At times I saw the papers on the table quite plain, just as I had seen his papers many a day. And the little pile of books on the floor at the foot—not ranged regularly in order, but put down one above the other, with all their angles going different ways, and a speck of the old gilding shining here and there. And then again at other times I saw nothing, absolutely nothing, and was no better than the old ladies who had peered over my head, drawing their eyelids together, and arguing that the window had been shut up because of the old long-abolished window tax, or else that it had never been a window at all It annoyed me very much at those dull moments to feel that I too puckered up my eyelids and saw no better than they.

      Earlier in the texts, Mary mentions the clear contrast between her youth and the older ladies; they clearly saw past her while she was somehow able to see the older and "wiser" ladies, along with a world beyond them. Diving further into the reading, the window and visions of a room beyond the window strikes me as escapism. She is escaping into a world that is a product of her imagination, influenced by the memories of her past and the thoughts from her present. Mary reminds me of characters from other novels such as Alice from Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz", and Leslie Burke from The Bridge to Terabithia*. All of these characters created a fictional world yet, the colorful details within each novel give these worlds a great deal of verisimilitude. These products of the imagination create a virtual reality within the psyche, allowing those who read these texts to believe the character has truly revealed an ability to connect to a world beyond our standard human eyes. Mary's visions for seeing beyond a window that everyone else is blind to, creates a mystical and alluring environment, when she enters this other world she pulls further apart from reality yearning to see more of this mysterious "other" side that she seems to be so familiar with.

    2. It is always interesting to have a glimpse like this of an unknown life—to see so much and yet know so little, and to wonder, perhaps, what the man is doing, and why he never turns his head.

      The girl notices a man through the window and feelings enticed by the mystery of who he is and what he is doing. She recognizes her interest in knowing more about him and the way that this desire may appear wrong as it could be seen as spying. This does not stop her from feeling intrigued about concealing the unknown about him and from increasingly wondering. I found it fascinating that she felt so compelled about finding out more about the man she had seen through the window. It makes me wonder if she would have felt so interested if there had been more going on around her. Are all mysteries intriguing to people, or are the nature of some mysteries more so than others?

    1. the two sides are so far mainly at the threatening stage, and the latest rounds of proposed tariffs are just that: proposals, not yet reality.

      If these two sides don't come to a conclusion or compromise for a proposal will this actually mean war with military intervention? There's also the question for how long this has been going on, as Trade has always been a political scuffle, while countries try to get the lowest prices from their neighbors. So why is this just now coming to a head?

    1. Instex

      The Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges is a special-purpose vehicle established in January 2019 by France, Germany and the United Kingdom to facilitate non-dollar trade with Iran. The SPV is headquartered in Paris, France and is headed by German national Per Fischer, who formerly served as Head of Financial Institutions at Commerzbank, between 2003 and 2014. In 11 February 2019, Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russia will seek to participate in INSTEX.

    1. because Lilith is aware of her value she is worth less in the eyes of both Adam and God, who are male.

      The lyrics, "You don't know you're beautiful/That's what makes you beautiful" just popped into my head. Why is it attractive for women to be unaware of their worth? I need to go baptize myself.

    1. Last year, Google quietly started an oil, gas, and energy division. It hired Darryl Willis, a 25-year veteran of BP, to head up what the Wall Street Journal described as “part of a new group Google has created to court the oil and gas industry.” As the VP of Google Cloud Oil, Gas, and Energy, Willis spent the year pitching energy companies on partnerships and lucrative deals. “If it has to do with heating, lighting or mobility for human beings on this planet, we’re interested in it,” Mr. Willis told the Journal. “Our plan is to be the partner of choice for the energy industry.”

      Jeez. At what point do we grow a spine and take climate change seriously?

    1. And then he kissed her rosy mouth, played with her long waving hair, and laid his head on her heart, while she dreamed of human happiness and an immortal soul.

      The prince is clearly taking advantage of the mute little mermaid by "kissing her rosy mouth" and laying his head on her chest. The mermaid doesn't acknowledge this but is thinking about the immortal soul at the end. This shows even if love is in her heart, she is more invested in the immortal soul.

    2. she loved the prince more fondly, and he loved her as he would love a little child, but it never came into his head to make her his wife; yet, unless he married her, she could not receive an immortal soul; and, on the morning after his marriage with another, she would dissolve into the foam of the sea.

      This demonstrates her constant love and affection for the prince. This also foreshadows the prince's feelings of familial love toward the mermaid and the future she will have (becoming sea foam).

    1. Regardless of age, regardless of position, regardless of the business we happen to be in, all of us need to understand the importance of branding. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me Inc. To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You.AdChoices

      Never really thought of this in this way. The way we dress, act and the impressions we leave on people all become part of our personal brand.

    2. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me Inc. To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You.

      I like this idea. It feels like a call to realize that whatever outside brands you tend to affiliate yourself with/buy into, they all collectively add up to help define what your own personal "brand" is.

    3. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me Inc. To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You.

      I think this idea is really interesting. We're branded by multiple companies all the time, so I think that the idea of "turning the tables" on companies and branding yourself is an innovative way to build a resume and make yourself stand out.

    1. We can’t expect young people to be able to “bank” knowledge and skills from school and apply them to a stable world of work later in life. Instead, we need an approach to educational reform that recognizes learning as an ongoing process, connected to a diverse and evolving ecosystem of learning resources, institutions, communities, and outcomes (Freire, 1970)

      This is true that everything we learn in school and college is not always practical. We learn so many things at once, and we can only store little of all the knowledge in our head. If skills that we learned are not useful in future then, learning doesn't make any sense. We have to move along with the time and study in a way that this generation demands.

    1. Other studies show that youth who live in communities in areas of lower socio-economic status (SES) like Luis’s often are not using technology at home or at school to do much beyond basic Internet searching, social networking, or typing out a report using Microsoft Word (Barron et al., 2010 ; Warschauer & Matuchniak, 2010 ) . While these skills are certainly important, there are still stark differences among children and adolescents in access to learning opportunities that will help position them to use computers in ways that can promote their own development (Goode, 2007; Warschauer & Matuchniak, 2010 ) .

      They're not using as much technology at home, because it's expensive to be able to afford devices and wifi in order to stay connected. They are right abut the fact that these skills are necessary but these kids are going to be able to have better communication skills rather than having their head always in a technology device.

    1. You shall linger in your room and lie there at ease tomorrow till Mass, and then to meat wend when you will, with my wife, that with you shall sit and comfort you with company, till I come to court:

      Really? The story seems to be a mix between fairytale and reality. Also, it seems that Gawain has accepted the journey or challenge in order to win favor with King Arthur. The problem is accepting a challenge from a green knight who picked up his head shortly after having it chopped off

    2. of a brown silk, embroidered full rich,

      It seems that this author spends a lot more time detailing the imagery of the surroundings for the characters. It makes it a lot easier to paint pictures in your head about these places

    3. Soon as the siege and assault had ceased at Troy, the burg broken and burnt to brands and ashes, the traitor who trammels of treason there wrought was tried for his treachery,

      All of this is an example of Consonance, and it's nicely used to paint the image in my head.

    4. .

      In the beginning I really didn't care for the style of reading. It was confusing and the sentences were constructed weird. But the more I read, and with the help of the other annotations, I gathered what was being written. It seemed like a dragged out story after the green knight left with his chopped head in his arms and sir Gawain trying to find him. But it wasn't bad. Some of the details painted a nice picture in the head. I do wonder what will happen in the next part. Though, i didn't really understand why the green knight showed up in the first place . That was weird.

    5. So far I'm enjoying this story, even though it likes to fixate and drag out in excruciating detail at points. I noticed that there was a noticeable tone shift. In the first half of the story, it's told heavily in poetic rhymes. The first half of the story is very happy and celebratory, this all changes when the green knight appears. It goes from heavy rhyme schemes to more subtle rhyme schemes of telling the story. It was interesting to see how the beginning was very happy and sing-songy and did a hard switch when it got more serious. That green knight is a trip though. Homeboy got his head chopped off, picked it up, and walked off with it all nonchalantly like he just got done playing basketball or something. And Arthur's homies were kicking it around like it was a soccer ball, that made me laugh, but I digress.

      I haven't read the next part of the story but I can already point out a few motifs and maybe even a theme which are; honor, chivalry, loyalty, duty, and the theme of unwavering bravery in the face of adversity or when the odds are against you. I liked that the green knight, though he came to challenge Arthur and his knights, did so in a peaceful way. He came with a symbol of peace and offered a challenge, this made the difference between anti-villain and evil villain trope the story could have gone with. It chose anti-villain, because though the green knight is not our hero in the story, he is not quite an evil villain either. His actions are that of honor and civility and conflicts with his image of a giant brute who is disrespectful and intruded on Arthur's celebration. I feel like, should the story had wanted it, it could have made the green knight into a cookie-cutter villain who just arrives and raises hell for the sake of it or takes a much less tactful approach than the one he took in the story.

      Also, the way he is presented in the story plays a part in why he is a reserved anti-villain instead of an evil villain. He is shown to be a decorated knight or his armor and horse are. If he showed up and just started shanking dudes left and right he would not be wearing so fancy an armor and warhorse. The fact that he is a knight must be reflected in his interactions, a knight would not act so dishonorable like straight up shanking people but a knight is also allowed to start conflict with things he disagrees with. In our case, the green knight disagrees that Arthur and his boy band are the strongest warriors in all the realm and sought to test that in a knightly way. I think there is much more to be said about the anti-villain of the story but I'm going to stop right here. The next part will tell us more and confirm or deny my ideas.

    6. 19

      Gawain strikes the green knight with the axe and cuts off his head. The Green Knight stays standing as the knights kick his head around the floor. Then the Green Knight picks up his head off the floor.

    7. The head of an ell-rod its large length had, the spike all of green steel and of gold hewn, the blade bright burnished with a broad edge as well shaped to sheer as are sharp razors. The shaft of a strong staff the stern man gripped, that was wound with iron to the wand’s end, and all engraved with green in gracious workings;

      Imagery describing the axe.

    8. For the head in his hand he holds up even, towards the dearest on dais addresses the face; and it lifted its eyelids, and looked full wide, and made this much with its mouth, as you may now hear;

      He's holding his own head which is about to give the following speech....

    9. and strongly stirs it about, to strike with a thought. The man before him drew himself to full height,

      Arthur heaves the axe above his head, ready to strike and the Green Knight stands taller, waiting for the blow (calm as a cucumber).

    10. t.

      For the first part of the story, I think that Arthur and the rest of lords are fun but rely too much on their reputation. When this random dude comes in saying "Hey chop off my head and then I'll come back to chop yours off" they're so suspicious, HOWEVER, when he threatens their reputation by calling them cowards, they're all for it. Even though this sounds so sketchy like what the heck. Also I think the green knight is supposed to represent death/karma. Also this dude literally picks his head up and rides away like nothing happened and everyone just continues to party like this was just another day lol mythology is great hahaha. For the second part, Gawain finds this random castle, which I think represents fate or death because I think the lord of the castle is actually the green knight in disguise but we'll see. Overall, it's pretty good so far.

    1. "shock effect"

      I can see it from both perspectives. One is that this is shocking because he isn't nude he's naked and looks like he's exposing himself. The other side is that I don't understand why this is that shocking because it is done to women all the time, why is it a big deal when it happens to a man? Im not saying it is right but it's what culture wants to see, a women's naked body with no head, making her an object to lust after instead of a human being. Why is this so shocking when it is done to a man?

    1. You ought, O Catiline, long ago to have been led to execution by command of the consul. That destruction which you have been long plotting against us ought to have already fallen on your own head.

    1. “These,” said Mrs. Hooper, with the manner of a woman who knew things, “are the very beginnings and first thoughts of his verses. He has tried to rub most of them out, but you can read them still. My belief is that he wakes up in the night, you know, with some rhyme in his head, and jots it down there on the wall lest he should forget it by the morning. Some of these very lines you see here I have seen afterwards in print in the magazines. Some are newer; indeed, I have not seen that one before. It must have been done only a few days ago.”

      It's an archival story!

    1. Shaping to shoot him some shoved through then, hurling their arrows at him, hitting him often; but their points were parried by bristling flanks, and their barbs would not bite there in his brow, though the smooth shaft were shattered in pieces, the head skipped away wherever it hit.

      They couldn't get a head shot on the boar, but they did manage to hit him

    2. first he hews off his head and sets it on high, then rends him roughly along the ridge of his back,

      Again, as with the previous prey, we have a detailed description of the processing of the meat.

    3. furred full fine with purest pelts; without coif on her head, but the noblest gems traced about her hair-net by twenties in clusters

      Pelt means hair or clothes here.

      I guess, it is saying she did her hair and did not wear her hair cover....?

    1. In other words, creating personas of yourself that are geared toward a specific audience or potential employer.

      I think these experts Gardner is speaking of nail the definition of personal branding on the head. Personal branding, in my own opinion, relates to how someone exposes and shows themselves off to a general audience in order to achieve future employment.

    1. . Then, they asked her to step off the bus, and began asking her questions. “I remember being so scared, hands sweaty and my body shaking. I didn't know what was going to happen. Where they going to let me go, arrest me, I began to have all these negative thoughts in my head”. Immigration asked her who she was, where she was going, and questions about her family. After a long thirty minutes, they decided to let her go. Immigration does that to make sure they are not going back illegally and to check if they are who they say they are. Imelda felt as if they were picking on her because of the fact she was the youngest on the bus. Immigration tends to be unfair some of the time, especially when they are trying to get something from it.

      this is so scary :( i don't know if you meant ICE or not but they can be extremely unfair, especially to people who are from certain countries, which isn't cool :(((

    1. “Halloa!  Below there!”

      I really enjoy the way that Dickens makes the diction of the characters individual. You can hear the accents as you read this in your head, and it makes the reading experience more enjoyable. Especially after starting the short story off with a solid example of diction, the reader has an exact idea of the setting, and can also tell a little bit about the character's past education. This also may just be something I do as I'm reading, but after reading this first line in a specific accent, I read the rest of the work in and English accent also. The use of diction throughout this piece sets characters apart socially also, since some characters have what looks like a more Cockney pronunciation of certain words, and others have more "posh" pronunciations. Lastly, this says a lot about the type of people who worked as signalmen.

    2. His pain of mind was most pitiable to see.  It was the mental torture of a conscientious man, oppressed beyond endurance by an unintelligible responsibility involving life.

      This passage really struck me while I was reading. The signalman has just revealed what troubles him so deeply, the haunting of this spectre figure who is always followed by some act of destruction and death. In his explanation of this constant haunting, he expresses his anguish towards the position he is put into. He knows that this spectre represents danger, but he cannot fully understand what it is trying to warn him of, so he cannot tell anyone. If he was to disclose this fear of danger that he had to his superiors, with no explanation, he would be taken away from his work and regarded as crazy. The signalman loves his work, and he is very good at it. Yet this constant fear looming over his head is hindering his ability to do his job and his ability to think straight. The last few words of this passage, "an unintelligible responsibility involving life" are very broad, and in a way, can encompass things beyond this story. I feel that this passage would relate to readers of the time, who also feel an inexplicable burden in their everyday responsibilities. Anxiety, stress, depression, etc. can be the cause of oppression in readers at the time and they may feel a connection to the signalman in that way.

    1. This means a skydiver with a mass of 75 kg achieves a maximum terminal velocity of about 350 km/h while traveling in a pike (head first) position, minimizing the area and his drag. In a spread-eagle position, that terminal velocity may decrease to about 200 km/h as the area increases. This terminal velocity becomes much smaller after the parachute opens.

      Discussed 2/13. Of course, the parachute lends an enormous effective area to the skydiver, so that the new terminal speed -- the landing speed -- is slow enough to survive.

    1. I was in Marks, Mississippi, the other day, which is in Whitman County, the poorest county in the United States. I tell you, I saw hundreds of little black boys and black girls walking the streets with no shoes to wear. I saw their mothers and fathers trying to carry on a little Head Start program, but they had no money. The federal government hadn’t funded them, but they were trying to carry on. They raised a little money here and there; trying to get a little food to feed the children; trying to teach them a little something.

      I think that this would make a captivating lede to a story since it has the ability to grasp the readers heart strings and pull them in wanting to learn more. King truly paints a picture for us with these few sentences and doesn't sugar coat the devastating nature of the current status of America.

      I think that this would be a strong lede because it gives the listeners of the speech an anecdote that describes a group of people whose actions are indicative of the values of the movement. The anecdote itself is representative of the courage, resilience, and strength that King is conveying in his speech, which I think makes it a good lede.

Wikimedia Commons. The story of Tristan and Iseult is an Anglo-Norman story of a love between two tragic lovers fated to be set apart.  The origins of the original text are unknown adding to the mystery of the story. There are also many different versions of the story. Each version just a little different. For clarity purposes of this paper, I will refer to the French version by Joseph Bedier. How daring the legend. How legendary. How incredibly naive. However, are not all young lovers naive? For it takes time to develop skepticism. Cynicism does not belong in the beginning of a story. It only belongs in the end. The lovers begin as two innocent and hopeful characters. Tristan represents the embodiment of all that is chivalrous. The desire to do only what is right by the laws his society. As the novel progresses, the audience will begin to question things as the characters change. At the very end both characters will die tragically apart. Both will have become cynical and heartbroken. Perhaps, you have heard of the two young lovers yourself? Perhaps you have heard how the tragedy of the poisonous wine brought about death and destruction? Was the wine an element of foreshadow? Maybe you are just looking for a great read. Either way the story of the two lovers will indeed be of interest. The Story Summary Set in the medieval era, this is the story of Tristan and Iseult and their tragic love affair. The story begins in Tristan’s childhood and covers a series of youthful adventures which shape him into a Knight. Then Tristan embarks on his biggest quest yet. He journeys to Ireland to obtain Princess Iseult. The plan was to bring the princess back to Ireland to marry King Mark of Cornwall.

However, he dies before she reaches him. Upon discovering Tristan’s death Iseult dies too. Literary Themes The story of Tristan and Iseult is filled with many themes. Morality was a common element in medieval literature. Thus, one can interpret many moral themes throughout the content. A few examples of these themes include: loyalty, love, fate, courage, and judgement. The theme of love is shown so many times. One could argue that if you took the theme of love out, there would be no story. How can you have a tragic love story without love? There is motherly love, fatherly love, romantic love, and love of a duty. Queen Blanchefleur demonstrates motherly love in that of her new born baby. King Mark, Rohalt, and Squire Gorvenal demonstrate fatherly love. Tristan and Iseult’s relationship demonstrate romantic love. Lastly, one can see love of duty in the actions of Tristan when he gives up his romantic love for a love of duty to King Mark. Another theme is loyalty. Tristan is constantly loyal to Mark even when Mark is not loyal in return. Mark betrays Tristan by allowing his advisors to manipulate his mind. Loyalty is even seen as soon in the story as the second paragraph when King Rivalen of Lyonesse comes to the aid of his ally, Mark of Cornwall. “When Mark was King over Cornwall, Rivalen, King of Lyonesse, heard that Mark’s enemies waged war on him; so, he crossed the sea to bring him aid (page 1).” The themes of Fate and judgement go together. This leads to the idea if something is truly fated, then how can one be judged? Works Cited: “Author ProfileJoseph Bedier.” PublicBookshelf, www.publicbookshelf.com/author/Joseph-Bedier.

Discussion Questions: Fate vs. accident: If Tristan and Iseult were fated to be together was it really the wine causing them to fall in love? If fate were in play and there was no wine, would they not have fallen in love anyway? A titanic question: Why do you think that Tristan and Iseult choose to stay in the woods rather than return to Ireland or Lyonesse? A perspective switch: Was King Mark a villain? Judgement Question: The hermit of Ogrin begged Tristan and Iseult to give penance under the laws of Rome for what he saw as a sin. However later Iseult is declared innocent by the hot-iron test. Give an example today that society may see as one thing as a sin, but may not be. Was Tristan wrong to return Iseult to Mark after he sent her to the lepers? At what point, would you consider a relationship over?

Long ago, when Mark was King over Cornwall, Rivalen, King of Lyonesse, heard that Mark’s enemies waged war on him; so he crossed the sea to bring him aid; and so faithfully did he serve him with counsel and sword that Mark gave him his sister Blanchefleur, whom King Rivalen loved most marvellously. He wedded her in Tintagel Minster, but hardly was she wed when the news came to him that his old enemy Duke Morgan had fallen on Lyonesse and was wasting town and field. Then Rivalen manned his ships in haste, and took Blanchefleur with him to his far land; but she was with child. He landed below his castle of Kanoël and gave the Queen in ward to his Marshal Rohalt, and after that set off to wage his war. Blanchefleur waited for him continually, but he did not come home, till she learnt upon a day that Duke Morgan had killed him in foul ambush. She did not weep: she made no cry or lamentation, but her limbs failed her and grew weak, and her soul was filled with a strong desire to be rid of the flesh, and though Rohalt tried to soothe her she would not hear. Three days she awaited re-union with her lord, and on the fourth she brought forth a son; and taking him in her arms she said: “Little son, I have longed a while to see you, and now I see you the fairest thing ever a woman bore. In sadness came I hither, in sadness did I bring forth, and in sadness has your first feast day gone. And as by sadness you came into the world, your name shall be called Tristan; that is the child of sadness.” After she had said these words she kissed him, and immediately when she had kissed him she died. Rohalt, the keeper of faith, took the child, but already Duke Morgan’s men besieged the Castle of Kanoël all round about. There is a wise saying: “Fool-hardy was never hardy,” and he was compelled to yield to Duke Morgan at his mercy: but for fear that Morgan might slay Rivalen’s heir the Marshal hid him among his own sons. When seven years were passed and the time had come to take the child from the women, Rohalt put Tristan under a good master, the Squire Gorvenal, and Gorvenal taught him in a few years the arts that go with barony. He taught him the use of lance and sword and ’scutcheon and bow, and how to cast stone quoits and to leap wide dykes also: and he taught him to hate every lie and felony and to keep his given word; and he taught him the various kinds of song and harp-playing, and the hunter’s craft; and when the child rode among the young squires you would have said that he and his horse and his armour were all one thing. To see him so noble and so proud, broad in the shoulders, loyal, strong and right, all men glorified Rohalt in such a son. But Rohalt remembering Rivalen and Blanchefleur (of whose youth and grace all this was a resurrection) loved him indeed as a son, but in his heart revered him as his lord. Now all his joy was snatched from him on a day when certain merchants of Norway, having lured Tristan to their ship, bore him off as a rich prize, though Tristan fought hard, as a young wolf struggles, caught in a gin. But it is a truth well proved, and every sailor knows it, that the sea will hardly bear a felon ship, and gives no aid to rapine. The sea rose and cast a dark storm round the ship and drove it eight days and eight nights at random, till the mariners caught through the mist a coast of awful cliffs and sea-ward rocks whereon the sea would have ground their hull to pieces: then they did penance, knowing that the anger of the sea came of the lad, whom they had stolen in an evil hour, and they vowed his deliverance and got ready a boat to put him, if it might be, ashore: then the wind, and sea fell and the sky shone, and as the Norway ship grew small in the offing, a quiet tide cast Tristan and the boat upon a beach of sand. Painfully he climbed the cliff and saw, beyond, a lonely rolling heath and a forest stretching out and endless. And he wept, remembering Gorvenal, his father, and the land of Lyonesse. Then the distant cry of a hunt, with horse and hound, came suddenly and lifted his heart, and a tall stag broke cover at the forest edge. The pack and the hunt streamed after it with a tumult of cries and winding horns, but just as the hounds were racing clustered at the haunch, the quarry turned to bay at a stones throw from Tristan; a huntsman gave him the thrust, while all around the hunt had gathered and was winding the kill. But Tristan, seeing by the gesture of the huntsman that he made to cut the neck of the stag, cried out: “My lord, what would you do? Is it fitting to cut up so noble a beast like any farm-yard hog? Is that the custom of this country?” And the huntsman answered: “Fair friend, what startles you? Why yes, first I take off the head of a stag, and then I cut it into four quarters and we carry it on our saddle bows to King Mark, our lord: So do we, and so since the days of the first huntsmen have done the Cornish men. If, however, you know of some nobler custom, teach it us: take this knife and we will learn it willingly.” Then Tristan kneeled and skinned the stag before he cut it up, and quartered it all in order leaving the crow-bone all whole, as is meet, and putting aside at the end the head, the haunch, the tongue and the great heart’s vein; and the huntsmen and the kennel hinds stood over him with delight, and the Master Huntsman said: “Friend, these are good ways. In what land learnt you them? Tell us your country and your name.” “Good lord, my name is Tristan, and I learnt these ways in my country of Lyonesse.” “Tristan,” said the Master Huntsman, “God reward the father that brought you up so nobly; doubtless he is a baron, rich and strong.” Now Tristan knew both speech and silence, and he answered: “No, lord; my father is a burgess. I left his home unbeknownst upon a ship that trafficked to a far place, for I wished to learn how men lived in foreign lands. But if you will accept me of the hunt I will follow you gladly and teach you other crafts of venery.” “Fair Tristan, I marvel there should be a land where a burgess’s son can know what a knight’s son knows not elsewhere, but come with us since you will it; and welcome: we will bring you to King Mark, our lord.” Tristan completed his task; to the dogs he gave the heart, the head, offal and ears; and he taught the hunt how the skinning and the ordering should be done. Then he thrust the pieces upon pikes and gave them to this huntsman and to that to carry, to one the snout to another the haunch to another the flank to another the chine; and he taught them how to ride by twos in rank, according to the dignity of the pieces each might bear. So they took the road and spoke together, till they came on a great castle and round it fields and orchards, and living waters and fish ponds and plough lands, and many ships were in its haven, for that castle stood above the sea. It was well fenced against all assault or engines of war, and its keep, which the giants had built long ago, was compact of great stones, like a chess board of vert and azure. And when Tristan asked its name: “Good liege,” they said, “we call it Tintagel.” And Tristan cried: “Tintagel! Blessed be thou of God, and blessed be they that dwell within thee.” (Therein, my lords, therein had Rivalen taken Blanchefleur to wife, though their son knew it not.) When they came before the keep the horns brought the barons to the gates and King Mark himself. And when the Master Huntsman had told him all the story, and King Mark had marvelled at the good order of the cavalcade, and the cutting of the stag, and the high art of venery in all, yet most he wondered at the stranger boy, and still gazed at him, troubled and wondering whence came his tenderness, and his heart would answer him nothing; but, my lords, it was blood that spoke, and the love he had long since borne his sister Blanchefleur. That evening, when the boards were cleared, a singer out of Wales, a master, came forward among the barons in Hall and sang a harper’s song, and as this harper touched the strings of his harp, Tristan who sat at the King’s feet, spoke thus to him: “Oh master, that is the first of songs! The Bretons of old wove it once to chant the loves of Graëlent. And the melody is rare and rare are the words: master, your voice is subtle: harp us that well.” But when the Welshman had sung, he answered: “Boy, what do you know of the craft of music? If the burgesses of Lyonesse teach their sons harp—play also, and rotes and viols too, rise, and take this harp and show your skill.” Then Tristan took the harp and sang so well that the barons softened as they heard, and King Mark marvelled at the harper from Lyonesse whither so long ago Rivalen had taken Blanchefleur away. When the song ended, the King was silent a long space, but he said at last: “Son, blessed be the master that taught thee, and blessed be thou of God: for God loves good singers. Their voices and the voice of the harp enter the souls of men and wake dear memories and cause them to forget many a mourning and many a sin. For our joy did you come to this roof, stay near us a long time, friend.” And Tristan answered: “Very willingly will I serve you, sire, as your harper, your huntsman and your liege.” So did he, and for three years a mutual love grew up in their hearts. By day Tristan followed King Mark at pleas and in saddle; by night he slept in the royal room with the councillors and the peers, and if the King was sad he would harp to him to soothe his care. The barons also cherished him, and (as you shall learn) Dinas of Lidan, the seneschal, beyond all others. And more tenderly than the barons and than Dinas the King loved him. But Tristan could not forget, or Rohalt his father, or his master Gorvenal, or the land of Lyonesse. My lords, a teller that would please, should not stretch his tale too long, and truly this tale is so various and so high that it needs no straining. Then let me shortly tell how Rohalt himself, after long wandering by sea and land, came into Cornwall, and found Tristan, and showing the King the carbuncle that once was Blanchefleur’s, said: “King Mark, here is your nephew Tristan, son of your sister Blanchefleur and of King Rivalen. Duke Morgan holds his land most wrongfully; it is time such land came back to its lord.” And Tristan (in a word) when his uncle had armed him knight, crossed the sea, and was hailed of his father’s vassals, and killed Rivalen’s slayer and was re-seized of his land. Then remembering how King Mark could no longer live in joy without him, he summoned his council and his barons and said this: “Lords of the Lyonesse, I have retaken this place and I have avenged King Rivalen by the help of God and of you. But two men Rohalt and King Mark of Cornwall nourished me, an orphan, and a wandering boy. So should I call them also fathers. Now a free man has two things thoroughly his own, his body and his land. To Rohalt then, here, I will release my land. Do you hold it, father, and your son shall hold it after you. But my body I give up to King Mark. I will leave this country, dear though it be, and in Cornwall I will serve King Mark as my lord. Such is my judgment, but you, my lords of Lyonesse, are my lieges, and owe me counsel; if then, some one of you will counsel me another thing let him rise and speak.” But all the barons praised him, though they wept; and taking with him Gorvenal only, Tristan set sail for King Mark’s land. THE MORHOLT OUT OF IRELAND When Tristan came back to that land, King Mark and all his Barony were mourning; for the King of Ireland had manned a fleet to ravage Cornwall, should King Mark refuse, as he had refused these fifteen years, to pay a tribute his fathers had paid. Now that year this King had sent to Tintagel, to carry his summons, a giant knight; the Morholt, whose sister he had wed, and whom no man had yet been able to overcome: so King Mark had summoned all the barons of his land to Council, by letters sealed. On the day assigned, when the barons were gathered in hall, and when the King had taken his throne, the Morholt said these things: “King Mark, hear for the last time the summons of the King of Ireland, my lord. He arraigns you to pay at last that which you have owed so long, and because you have refused it too long already he bids you give over to me this day three hundred youths and three hundred maidens drawn by lot from among the Cornish folk. But if so be that any would prove by trial of combat that the King of Ireland receives this tribute without right, I will take up his wager. Which among you, my Cornish lords, will fight to redeem this land?” The barons glanced at each other but all were silent. Then Tristan knelt at the feet of King Mark and said: “Lord King, by your leave I will do battle.” And in vain would King Mark have turned him from his purpose, thinking, how could even valour save so young a knight? But he threw down his gage to the Morholt, and the Morholt took up the gage. On the appointed day he had himself clad for a great feat of arms in a hauberk and in a steel helm, and he entered a boat and drew to the islet of St. Samson’s, where the knights were to fight each to each alone. Now the Morholt had hoisted to his mast a sail of rich purple, and coming fast to land, he moored his boat on the shore. But Tristan pushed off his own boat adrift with his feet, and said: “One of us only will go hence alive. One boat will serve.” And each rousing the other to the fray they passed into the isle. No man saw the sharp combat; but thrice the salt sea-breeze had wafted or seemed to waft a cry of fury to the land, when at last towards the hour of noon the purple sail showed far off; the Irish boat appeared from the island shore, and there rose a clamour of “the Morholt!” When suddenly, as the boat grew larger on the sight and topped a wave, they saw that Tristan stood on the prow holding a sword in his hand. He leapt ashore, and as the mothers kissed the steel upon his feet he cried to the Morholt’s men: “My lords of Ireland, the Morholt fought well. See here, my sword is broken and a splinter of it stands fast in his head. Take you that steel, my lords; it is the tribute of Cornwall.” Then he went up to Tintagel and as he went the people he had freed waved green boughs, and rich cloths were hung at the windows. But when Tristan reached the castle with joy, songs and joy-bells sounding about him, he drooped in the arms of King Mark, for the blood ran from his wounds. The Morholt’s men, they landed in Ireland quite cast down. For when ever he came back into Whitehaven the Morholt had been wont to take joy in the sight of his clan upon the shore, of the Queen his sister, and of his niece Iseult the Fair. Tenderly had they cherished him of old, and had he taken some wound, they healed him, for they were skilled in balms and potions. But now their magic was vain, for he lay dead and the splinter of the foreign brand yet stood in his skull till Iseult plucked it out and shut it in a chest. From that day Iseult the Fair knew and hated the name of Tristan of Lyonesse. But over in Tintagel Tristan languished, for there trickled a poisonous blood from his wound. The doctors found that the Morholt had thrust into him a poisoned barb, and as their potions and their theriac could never heal him they left him in God’s hands. So hateful a stench came from his wound that all his dearest friends fled him, all save King Mark, Gorvenal and Dinas of Lidan. They always could stay near his couch because their love overcame their abhorrence. At last Tristan had himself carried into a boat apart on the shore; and lying facing the sea he awaited death, for he thought: “I must die; but it is good to see the sun and my heart is still high. I would like to try the sea that brings all chances. … I would have the sea bear me far off alone, to what land no matter, so that it heal me of my wound.” He begged so long that King Mark accepted his desire. He bore him into a boat with neither sail nor oar, and Tristan wished that his harp only should be placed beside him: for sails he could not lift, nor oar ply, nor sword wield; and as a seaman on some long voyage casts to the sea a beloved companion dead, so Gorvenal pushed out to sea that boat where his dear son lay; and the sea drew him away. For seven days and seven nights the sea so drew him; at times to charm his grief, he harped; and when at last the sea brought him near a shore where fishermen had left their port that night to fish far out, they heard as they rowed a sweet and strong and living tune that ran above the sea, and feathering their oars they listened immovable. In the first whiteness of the dawn they saw the boat at large: she went at random and nothing seemed to live in her except the voice of the harp. But as they neared, the air grew weaker and died; and when they hailed her Tristan’s hands had fallen lifeless on the strings though they still trembled. The fishermen took him in and bore him back to port, to their lady who was merciful and perhaps would heal him. It was that same port of Whitehaven where the Morholt lay, and their lady was Iseult the Fair. She alone, being skilled in philtres, could save Tristan, but she alone wished him dead. When Tristan knew himself again (for her art restored him) he knew himself to be in the land of peril. But he was yet strong to hold his own and found good crafty words. He told a tale of how he was a seer that had taken passage on a merchant ship and sailed to Spain to learn the art of reading all the stars,—of how pirates had boarded the ship and of how, though wounded, he had fled into that boat. He was believed, nor did any of the Morholt’s men know his face again, so hardly had the poison used it. But when, after forty days, Iseult of the Golden Hair had all but healed him, when already his limbs had recovered and the grace of youth returned, he knew that he must escape, and he fled and after many dangers he came again before Mark the King. THE QUEST OF THE LADY WITH THE HAIR OF GOLD My lords, there were in the court of King Mark four barons the basest of men, who hated Tristan with a hard hate, for his greatness and for the tender love the King bore him. And well I know their names: Andret, Guenelon, Gondoïne and Denoalen. They knew that the King had intent to grow old childless and to leave his land to Tristan; and their envy swelled and by lies they angered the chief men of Cornwall against Tristan. They said: “There have been too many marvels in this man’s life. It was marvel enough that he beat the Morholt, but by what sorcery did he try the sea alone at the point of death, or which of us, my lords, could voyage without mast or sail? They say that warlocks can. It was sure a warlock feat, and that is a warlock harp of his pours poison daily into the King’s heart. See how he has bent that heart by power and chain of sorcery! He will be king yet, my lords, and you will hold your lands of a wizard.” They brought over the greater part of the barons and these pressed King Mark to take to wife some king’s daughter who should give him an heir, or else they threatened to return each man into his keep and wage him war.

      Now they are sort of forcing him to have a child so they are not kingless.

    1. sychologists use various forms of theprisoner’s dilemma scenario to study self-interest and cooperation. Whether framed as amonetary game or a prison game, the prisoner’s dilemma illuminates a conflict at the core ofmany decisions to cooperate: it pits the motivation to maximize personal reward against themotivation to maximize gains for the group (you and your partner combined)

      I didn't realize there was an actual psychological name for this situation even with all the "who did it" shows I watch. There are tons of shows that prove this dilemma is an actual thing. It is sad to say that someone would rat out someone they are close to just so they are the one that doesn't get blamed. I just watched a clip on Facebook that showed two dogs being in trouble for stealing a cookie off the counter. The owner asked the dog siblings who was it that actually did it, and couldn't help but laugh when the brother ratted out his sister by placing his paw on her head. The owner asked three times, and each time the brother ratted out his sister, causing the sister to sit in shameless silence.

      As teachers, we must let our students know that "they can do it." Our students need to know that someone believes in their abilities so that they may develop the confidence and willpower to "walk around with their head held high" in life.

    1. On Aug. 18, 2007: A Labrador mix attacked a 70-year-old man, sending him to the hospital in critical condition. Police officers arrived at the scene, and the dog was shot after charging the officers. This incident was reported in one article and only in the local paper On Aug. 19, 2007: A 16-month-old child received fatal head and neck injuries after being attacked by a mixed-breed dog. This attack was reported two times by the local paper. On Aug. 20, 2007: A 6-year-old boy was hospitalized after having his ear torn off and receiving severe bites to the head by a medium-sized mixed-breed dog. This attack was reported in one article and only in the local paper. On Aug. 21, 2007: A 59-year-old woman was attacked in her home while trying to break up a dog fight involving her neighbor’s Jack Russell terrier and two pit bull terriers. The pit bull terriers had broken off their chains and followed her neighbor’s Jack Russell terrier in through her dog door. She was hospitalized with severe injuries. Her dog was not injured. This attack was reported in more than 230 articles in national and international newspapers and on major television news networks, including CNN, MSNBC, and Fox.

      Im noticing that they don't even say "pitbulls", but "mixed breed", this proves that they use pitbulls as a grouping term for dogs they think are dangerous when really they are just classifying dogs that people make out on purpose to be vicious guard dogs. and this statement is too brief to prove anything against " pitbulls".

    1. New research on subconscious bias suggests that even preschool teachers racially profile, treating black children with more suspicion; sadly, black boys are “precriminalized” before even learning their ABCs.

      I currently work at a head start in Oakland, as a teacher's assistant, and immediately reflected on my own work ethic, based on how I treat students of color. The head start I work at, however, is mainly ran by people of color, and the majority of the students are coming from various backgrounds (Southeast Asian, Latinx, and African American communities), and student assistants, or Americorp members, are trained to understand and take note of their subconscious biases. But it's made me think: what other head starts and preschools are not like mine and how many, across the US, are behind on informing/training their teachers about their subconscious biases?

    1. discriminatory

      This really never ends, and it's part of being a human. The problem is that, many of us take certain matters more personal others. We humans discriminate all the time (as a habit or human instinct) the things we don't like because they don't normally relate to us. That's really way to put it, if we think about it. The problem is much complex than just RACE, SKIN COLOR, OR GENDER. But often times it is mostly focused on these. Tell me of one time, when you went shopping and you bought the shoes that you liked for a good price? Why didn't you buy the pair that you didn't like? Ohh, wait! That's a waste of money, right? Funny.... It is more like 'I was discriminating against the other type of shoes'. Yup, hit the nail right on head!

    1. what could I do but hang my head, and silently consent to the rapid enunciation of the only course which now remained for me if I would not be esteemed a heartless coquette all the rest of my days?

      It is no secret that women in the 19th century had little agency in comparison to men, especially concerning marriage. However, the use of the word "consent" caught my attention. The issue of consent seems more contemporary. This is not to say that consent, or lack thereof, has only proved to be an issue in more modern times. but rather that the mention of this issue seems delightfully out of place in the context of a story written in the 1860s. Gaskell manages to make a subtle yet certain critique of this patriarchally constructed inequity merely by mention of it. The juxtaposition of this progressive yet understated critique, alongside a female narrator who is timorous and dependent, raises questions about Gaskell's intention in posing this question. Is it as much posed to the reader within the story, as it is to those outside of it?

It's suggesting that the dragon was disturbed in more ways than one...not only is there an intruder in his space, and that he's stealing from the dragon but also that the thief disrupted his deep sleep! Kind of makes the dragon a bit more human in a sense...shows us that dragons can dream too. Cool line.

    1. he lowered his sword-like mouth

      for some reason, the first image in that came to me after reading this line was of the pyramid head guy from "Silent Hill" (I've never seen any of the movies). It might not be what Diaz was going for, but it really takes away the humanity of a person when you can't see their face.

    1. what’s going through her head right now reading this?

      what's going on in my head: what a funny post that showcases the multiple layers of reality we experience as we create a new reality-- the text.

    1. The four principles

      I'm a psych major and this comes up in all of my classes because psychologists do so many experiments with humans, so the 4 principles are pounded into my head by now.

    Annotators

    1. a still tongue makes a wise head. They suppress the truth rather than take the consequences of telling it, and in so doing prove themselves a part of the human family.

      Shows that the masters are contradictory to Descartes, yet suggests that the suppression of speech by the master shows the master's belief that slaves could prove their humanity through speech.

    1. In one particularly potent example of party trumping fact, when shown photos of Trump’s inauguration and Barack Obama’s side by side, in which Obama clearly had a bigger crowd, some Trump supporters identified the bigger crowd as Trump’s. When researchers explicitly told subjects which photo was Trump’s and which was Obama’s, a smaller portion of Trump supporters falsely said Trump’s photo had more people in it.While this may appear to be a remarkable feat of self-deception, Dan Kahan thinks it’s likely something else. It’s not that they really believed there were more people at Trump’s inauguration, but saying so was a way of showing support for Trump. “People knew what was being done here,” says Kahan, a professor of law and psychology at Yale University. “They knew that someone was just trying to show up Trump or trying to denigrate their identity.” The question behind the question was, “Whose team are you on?”

      This is a good point because there if there were more people at Obama's inauguration and Trump supports were still saying there was more at Trump's it proves they know they are wrong in their head because they are looking right at the picture, but they don't want to believe it because they like Trump so much.

      Why we concentrated on that part of Ch. 3

    1. quoting directly from a text allows you to introduce your reader to the way those ideas are expressed by showing such details as language, syntax, and cadence.

      It also helps the writer stay on task and understand where they can head in the direction for their writing

    1. The comely beauty of youth had faded away entirely; she was, as I have said, homely-looking, plain-featured, but with a clean skin, and pleasant frank eyes. Her figure was no longer round, but tidily draped in a blue and white bed-gown, tied round her waist by her white apron-strings, and her short red linsey petticoat showed her tidy feet and ankles. Her former lover fell into no ecstasies. He simply said to himself, ‘She’ll do’; and forthwith began upon his business.

      This piece of text stood out to me (perhaps because Charles Dickens was in my head as the introduction stated he was the editor of the magazine which "The Ghost in the Garden Room" was published) because it reminds of Great Expectations when Pip returns to Satis House and he sees that Estella's beauty had faded away. Further, Pip learns that Estella's true father was Magwitch, a criminal- and yet at the beginning of the novel, Pip was deemed unfit for Estella because he was not from the same cut of the cloth as Estella, when in fact, her situation may have actually been worse. I find this twist at the beginning of the piece to kind of work in tandem here. Nathan Huntroyd fancied Hester in his early life, but her father did not find him to be an acceptable suitor because he was not of wealth. However, now that Hester and her family have found themselves in a state of poverty, the power roles switch. Hester has lost her beauty and has become a working woman. Hester has hit a low in her life where now, Nathan who has come into money, can quite literally choose to be with her. When he saw her, he did not feel glee or fall into a state of "ecstasies" but rather, is simply satisfied that he can now have the woman he wanted by choice this time, and have her as both wife and maid. His exclamation of "she'll do" is a form of power reversal. Where Hester's father had the power over Nathan to reject him as a suitor for Hester, Nathan now has the power to examine her, determine she is not the best, she has lost her beauty, but "she'll do" for what she is (a woman who can be a wife) and what she is capable of (being a maid).

    1. The antlers of a male bighorn sheep goes for over $20,000 on the black market. The bighorn sheep has been on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Endangered List since 1998. Human interference has played a large role in the decrease of the bighorn population.

      It seems with those animals having that price on their head no matter what the government or people do people are always gonna do anything to get that kind of money

    1. “the true benefit of the academy is the interaction, the accessto the debate, to the negotiation of knowledge—not to the stale cataloging of content

      Once this particular light goes on in one's head, it may be impossible to turn it off. Yet we still need the so-called "stale" cataloging of content. We need foundational knowledge. Perhaps the academy has just made its function (again) more visible under connectivism? And we are in a creative tension of sorts with knowledge cataloging as an end in itself?

I don’t trust books—they’re all fact, no heart … Face it, folks, we are a divided nation … divided between those who think with their head and those who know with their heart … Because that’s where the truth comes from, ladies and gentlemen—the gut.”

      People can believe what they want. This leaves them open to fake news sites because anyone can say anything about anything, and it will be believed by someone.

    1. It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others

      What is "peculiar" about Du Bois's mode of perception? How does his "double consciousness" compare to Emerson's experience of the "bare earth" in "Nature"? Why doesn't Du Bois just head out for the "perfect sweetness of solitude"?

      This reminds me of a TV show Vampire Diaries. It's silly but still a connection. In the show there is a character named Stephen that goes on rampaged with "no remorse" for the people he kills or hurts. This puts the image of him in my head when reading.

    1. “You, too?” to Lennie.“Yeah, him too,” said George.The boss pointed a playful finger at Lennie. “He ain’t much of a talker, ishe?”“No, he ain’t, but he’s sure a hell of a good worker. Strong as a bull.”Lennie smiled to himself. “Strong as a bull,” he repeated.George scowled at him, and Lennie dropped his head in shame at havingforgotten.The boss said suddenly, “Listen, Small!” Lennie raised his head. “What canyou do?”In a panic, Lennie looked at George for help. “He can do anything you tellhim,” said George. “He’s a good skinner. He can rassel grain bags, drive acultivator. He can do anything. Just give him a try.”

      The boss is also just talk the same as while it could be thought that if it will be noticing that it should be suddenly to listen small as Lennie just raised his hand as while and be thought that it would be improving if George was also been noticing that it might be thought that it was for the cultivator as doing anything.

    2. George stood up and threw the mouse as far as he could into the darkeningbrush, and then he stepped to the pool and washed his hands. “You crazy fool.Don’t you think I could see your feet was wet where you went acrost the river toget it?” He heard Lennie’s whimpering cry and wheeled about. “Blubberin’ likea baby! Jesus Christ! A big guy like you.” Lennie’s lip quivered and tearsstarted in his eyes. “Aw, Lennie!” George put his hand on Lennie’s shoulder. “Iain’t takin’ it away jus’ for meanness. That mouse ain’t fresh, Lennie; andbesides, you’ve broke it pettin’ it. You get another mouse that’s fresh and I’ll letyou keep it a little while.”Lennie sat down on the ground and hung his head dejectedly. “I don’t knowwhere there is no other mouse. I remember a lady used to give ‘em to me—ever’one she got. But that lady ain’t here.”George scoffed. “Lady, huh? Don’t even remember who that lady was. Thatwas your own Aunt Clara. An’ she stopped givin’ ‘em to ya. You always killed‘em.”Lennie looked sadly up at him. “They was so little,” he said, apologetically.“I’d pet ‘em, and pretty soon they bit my fingers and I pinched their heads alittle and then they was dead—because they was so little.“I wisht we’d get the rabbits pretty soon, George. They ain’t so little.”“The hell with the rabbits. An’ you ain’t to be trusted with no live mice.Your Aunt Clara give you a rubber mouse and you wouldn’t have nothing to dowith it.”“It

      It's lack becuase it shows that if George and Lennie will be thought if it was no longer alive.

    3. Lennie imitated him, raising his head to see whether he was doing it right.“God, you’re a lot of trouble,” said George. “I could get along so easy and sonice if I didn’t have you on my tail. I could live so easy and maybe have a girl.”For a moment Lennie lay quiet, and then he said hopefully, “We gonna workon a ranch, George.”

      Lennie and George was also been thought that if it was also been loving them as also knowing that it was for doing the right thing as also been in a moment and also saying that he was hopefully, as George was saying.

    4. Lennie continued to snort into the pool. The small man leaned over and shookhim by the shoulder. “Lennie. You gonna be sick like you was last night.”Lennie dipped his whole head under, hat and all, and then he sat up on thebank and his hat dripped down on his blue coat and ran down his back. “That’sgood,” he said. “You drink some, George. You take a good big drink.” Hesmiled happily

      A love of been knowing if George and Lennie was been getting him sick as going in the pool.

Like I'm definitely, sometimes I'm obsessing over the ticks if I think this is a really important zone, but then sometimes I step step back and clear my head and I gain a lot of clarity from that. So I'm kind of in like an in between phase where it's also as a full time trader.

    1. to foreclose any easy distinctio

      Foreclose: To bar, exclude, shut out completely, but also many other senses, including to take away the power of redeeming or to close beforehand http://www.oed.com.ezp.slu.edu/view/Entry/72991?redirectedFrom=foreclose#eid

      I think this phrase lies at the heart of where I'm wrapping my head around what posthumanism means. As Dr. Rivers said in class, there's this assumption of the human (the 'easy distinction' of what the human is), but when we foreclose--when we do away with--that ease, we might consider posthumanism as "post (the assumption of what it means to be) human". Instead of assuming we have a good/clear/universal understanding of what it is to be "human," posthumanism does away with that assumption and instead seeks to explore, to ask questions, to address multiple and varied possible definitions (like we do with rhetoric).

    1. Out, damned spot! out, I say!--One: two: why, then, 'tis time to do't.--Hell is murky!--Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?--Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him.

      For this I think it would be so cool if we could have some sort of lighting effect with the spots, like as she scrubs its over the light so it's kind of all in her head

    2. Doubtful it stood; As two spent swimmers, that do cling together And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald-- Worthy to be a rebel, for to that The multiplying villanies of nature Do swarm upon him--from the western isles Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied; And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling, Show'd like a rebel's whore: but all's too weak: For brave Macbeth--well he deserves that name-- Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valour's minion carved out his passage Till he faced the slave; Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps, And fix'd his head upon our battlements.

    1. it is clear that the critical posthumanities are caught in the acceleratingspin of the neoliberal logic of capitalizing on life itself.

      The connection between neoliberalism/capitalism and post-humanism has been fascinating so far, even when its a little over my head. Hopefully we can discuss more in class.

      You can't make a claim like this and not cite it. It's purely based on opinion. It also goes against your argument.

    1. Just ten years ago, we would not have imagined the need for “a guide to gathering, preserving, and presenting the past on the web.” Indeed, few of us knew the web existed.

      I honestly can't imagine a world without the internet or modern technology. It is so easy to learn information through millions of websites that can be searched in the matter of seconds. It is going to be difficult in my history classes to head to the library and have to read through multiple books just to find one bit of information.

    1. Do people work as hard as they can when they are ingroups?

      NO! We have all had that one group project where one person does absolutely nothing and we have to pick up the slack. Or you will have one person that wants to do all the work and has no idea how to share tasks. I have often wondered how the person who does nothing, what goes through their head.

    1. 249Navigating GenresKerry DirkThere’s a joke that’s been floating around some time now that you’ve likely already heard.* It goes something like the following:Q: What do you get when you rewind a country song?A: You get your wife back, your job back, your dog back . . .Maybe this joke makes you laugh. Or groan. Or tilt your head to the side in confusion. Because it just so happens that in order to get this joke, you must know a little something about country music in general and in particular country music lyrics. You must, in other words, be familiar with the country music genre.Let’s look into country music lyrics a bit more. Bear with me on this is if you’re not a fan. Assuming I want to write lyrics to a coun-try song, how would I figure out what lyrics are acceptable in terms of country songs? Listening to any country station for a short period of time might leave one with the following conclusions about country songs:•Country songs tend to tell stories. They often have characters who are developed throughout the song.•

    1. I thought in my child’s head I said: ‘you would ... you would make me go there, but I will learn nothing, nothing, nothing.’”10Campb

      Even if the most altruistic view of Canadian officials' intent is taken, this approach was very clearly not going to create a positive learning atmosphere.

      I wonder how much of this was considered or would have been considered if the children had been of European descent with the "seen, not heard" role of children in school/society

    1. so that they could collaborate in negotiating with Facebook and Google, companies whose dominance of advertising is rapidly destroying the business model of the news industry.

      They aren't circulating news just who ever pays the most to have their story be the head line which goes against journalist work to get the truth out there, but instead have to compete with money, untruths and whoever has a computer or phone.

    1. an occasional failure/ success after many successes/failures may not have much effect.

      Then why do students focus so much on the bad grade instead of all of their good grades? Like, if they got 100% on 9 exams and a 50% on one exam, the student can't get that one 50% grade out of their head. Sometimes I feel that one failure helps motivate the student to do better. They know they can't be lazy and will have to work harder next time.

    1. The first thing to which it belongs is the quiddity, which is substance, and then to what comes after it.

      That is, existence most properly is predicated of the essence of something and only in a derivative way of the accidents of this essence.

      For example, if a person sees a 5.5 foot tall two-legged thing with arms and a head walking in the distance, the most immediate existential predication would be: "That is a human." A person would likely not first predicate one of the accidental aspects of humanity of this thing: "That is a brown-haired thing," for instance, or "That is a distant thing." These accidental predicates, in fact, do not really say what the "thing" is at all and merely give additional information about it.

    1. As white women and women and men of color have increasingly participated in public forums, they have begun to theorize lhc differ-ences race and gender make in language use.

    1. Train someone in it and, according co Quintilian's way of thinking, you have trained that person to be virtuous. "Virtuosity is some evidence of virtue." To chink of this at/through toggle switch as "virtuous," as implicitly moral, is to com-prehend the deeply felt "reasoning" behind Quintilian's evasive answer to his own question and to glimpse, perhaps, the beginnings of a legitimate explanation of, and justification for, what the humanities do--or at least can do.

      The image of Lady Justice popped into my head as I was reading this, and I was particularly thinking about her blindfold and how it's meant to represent impartiality, the philosphical ideal that "justice should be applied "without regard to wealth, power, or other status." Upon looking at her Wikipedia page, I discovered that Lady Justice did not originally wear a blindfold because her "maidenly form" guaranteed her impartiality. If we're "toggling" between rhetoric and philosophy here, then it must also be argued that we're "toggling" between the feminine and the masculine. And If sex/gender was once what qualified someone to be impartial, how does this complicate the idea of virtue/training someone to be virtuous? How does it complicate our understanding of what the humanities do/can do? How does it help us work at/through what/who was/is/could be considered human?

    1. Certainly progress in photography is not going to stop. Faster material and lenses, more automatic cameras, finer-grained sensitive compounds to allow an extension of the minicamera idea, are all imminent. Let us project this trend ahead to a logical, if not inevitable, outcome. The camera hound of the future wears on his forehead a lump a little larger than a walnut. It takes pictures 3 millimeters square, later to be projected or enlarged, which after all involves only a factor of 10 beyond present practice. The lens is of universal focus, down to any distance accommodated by the unaided eye, simply because it is of short focal length. There is a built-in photocell on the walnut such as we now have on at least one camera, which automatically adjusts exposure for a wide range of illumination. There is film in the walnut for a hundred exposures, and the spring for operating its shutter and shifting its film is wound once for all when the film clip is inserted. It produces its result in full color.

      While Bush is right that camera's will get smaller and produce color photographs, a normal camera now uses no film and is not embedded on anyone's head. Bush was still thinking about the technology of the past (their present) and thus didn't fully realize what technological advances could occur with the camera.

      This reeks of the Roman way of secrecy and power, We'll instruct the magistrates in another letter...don't worry your little heads about it (you do still have your head, right?) in a manner that glosses over the traumas that they inflicted!

    1. The N.H.L. formed a concussion-prevention program in 1997. In 2010, it banned blindside hits to the head. In March, the league altered its treatment protocol, requiring teams to examine all suspected concussions in a “quiet” room, away from the bench.

      As it seems that there is a movement for there being a safer environment for NHL players, could there be a potential chance that they could go for a safer route in the future and just ban fights in general.

    2. Boogaard had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, commonly known as C.T.E., a close relative of Alzheimer’s disease. It is believed to be caused by repeated blows to the head.

      This shows the consequences of fighting in the NHL and its sad that doctors in contact sports have not looked into cte related issues.

    3. Boogaard joked about them, saying he had been hit on the head too many times.

      Sometimes it is far to scary to think about seriously so you joke about it. Especially experiencing all of these symptoms alone with no one to help you through and explain what is happening to you.

    4. But the league has shown little interest in ending on-ice fighting. The message is decidedly mixed: outlaw an elbow to the head during play, but allow two combatants to stop the game and try to knock each other out with bare-knuckle punches to the head.

      The league doesn't want to end the fighting because this is what keeps fans coming back to games. This is what excites them. If they ended the fights all together there would be less and less people that went to the games. They feel that they would rather have injuries than not have money.

    5. But the league has shown little interest in ending on-ice fighting. The message is decidedly mixed: outlaw an elbow to the head during play, but allow two combatants to stop the game and try to knock each other out with bare-knuckle punches to the head.

      I might be taking things out of context here, but I find the description of "good" interesting here. Socrates describes good as an idea that can still be perceived by the senses, like light. However, ideas are also things that exist in the mind. So doing something good can also be an opinion, but we perceive it as a possible physical manifestation of the action. And possibly there is say, a little voice in your head telling you that you did something good, so we sense that an act of good was done.

    1. Or he would park at the edge of a pasture and moo at the cows through the loudspeaker.

      Ummm...? ok this kinda makes it like there was something wrong upstairs before the head injuries along with what was said before, I think this adds context as to why fighting was an out let for him, which then morphed into a career. (arrow to next couple of sentences)

    1. It was his hands that I was more worried about.”

      Yet another example of everyone focusing on Boogaard's hands and not picking up on his extensive amounts of head injuries. It helps show that he really did hide all of his concussions often and well and passed through relatively undetected.

    1. Mr. Fret, 25, was riding on a motorcycle in the Santurce neighborhood at about 5:30 a.m. when he was shot twice, in the head and the hip, the police said. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

    1. Yet even this remarkable exhibition is not sufficient to satisfy a female flame bowerbird. Should a female show initial interest, the male must react immediately. Staring at the female, his pupils swelling and shrinking like a heartbeat, he begins a dance best described as psychotically sultry. He bobs, flutters, puffs his chest. He crouches low and rises slowly, brandishing one wing in front of his head like a magician’s cape. Suddenly his whole body convulses like a windup alarm clock. If the female approves, she will copulate with him for two or three seconds. They will never meet again.

      Why do I sense this was included as a potential metaphor to our dating scene.

    1. Most of the fine lines that separate mental entities from one another are drawn only in our own head and, therefore, totally in­visible. And yet, by playing up the act of "crossing" them, we can make mental discontinuities more "tangible." Many rituals, indeed, are designed specifically to substantiate the mental segmentation of reality into discrete chunks. In articulating our "passage" through the mental partitions separating these chunks from one another, such rituals, originally identified by Arnold Van Gennep as "rites of passage,"107 certainly enhance our experience of discontinuity.

      Rituals help connect the frame to the spatial qualities of the mental models we create to understand complex ideas.

    1. foolish imaginations of his heart

      Constructs which mistake the head as superior to the heart or as an adequate starting place for imaginings will always lead to destruction since the head can not handle nor is it designed for the necessary embedding and recursion which is a seed bearing fruit in itself. But it is sure that, before the brain breaks down and eventually falls/fails, those who mistake it as the best foundation will inevitably turn to mocking them who follow through with flow of spirit through and back to the heart. (see Lehi's Dream 1 Nephi 8:26-27 and Nephi's visitation of the same dream in 1 Nephi 11:35-36)

      This phrase,"foolish imaginations" can and ought to be read as the "FULLish imaginations of his heart." In earlier verses we see that a FULL rendering of Lehi's heart brought about fulfillment on several levels already. This "fulfillment" even took the immediate form of a "filament" (pillar of light which struck a rock in front of Lehi just as the communication struck his heart with overpowering energy). The electrical charging effects of Full Imagining can be transmitted beyond the individual and others can be made to feel these effects, however, unless they are allowed to take hold in the heart where embedding and recursion can take place, then they are short lived and sometimes can have disastrous overall effect upon others who rely on second-hand spirit and external motivation. (see 1 Nephi 3:28-31 and 1 Nephi 17:53-54)

    1. Talleyrand

      (1754–1838), French statesman; full name Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord. Involved in the coup that brought Napoleon to power, he became head of the new government after the fall of Napoleon (1814) and was later instrumental in the overthrow of Charles X and the accession of Louis Philippe (1830).

    1. design

      Not just the design but the actual implementation. Maybe not worth adding here but something that immediately popped into my head when I read that sentance.

    1. My sole complacence! well thou know'st how dear, To me are all my works, nor Man the least Though last created, that for him I spare Thee from my bosom and right hand, to save, By loosing thee a while, the whole Race lost. [ 280 ] Thou therefore whom thou only canst redeem, Thir Nature also to thy Nature joyn; And be thy self Man among men on Earth, Made flesh, when time shall be, of Virgin seed, By wondrous birth: Be thou in Adams room [ 285 ] The Head of all mankind, though Adams Son. As in him perish all men, so in thee As from a second root shall be restor'd, As many as are restor'd, without thee none. His crime makes guiltie all his Sons, thy

      This line definitely fuffils the God I expected. The God who loves his son, and is very proud of him, for this brave deed. The line also shows and explains God’s plan to bring his son into the world.

    1. cetaceans

      Any of an order (Cetacea) of aquatic mostly marine mammals that includes the whales, dolphins, porpoises, and related forms and that have a torpedo-shaped nearly hairless body, paddle-shaped forelimbs but no hind limbs, one or two nares opening externally at the top of the head, and a horizontally flattened tail used for locomotion. (Merriam-Webster)

    1. This year’s band camp was shorter than it has been in past years, which meant more material was learned in each day. We spent nine hours a day on the football field or on the steps in front of Conte Forum, and we learned a whole half-time show in one day, something they’ve never had to do before. With the unforgiving August humidity and lack of experience, I constantly felt gross and sore.

      My original piece was a lot shorter that this new revision. My thoughts were underdeveloped, and my sentences were confusing because I didn't completely know what I was trying to say. In this revision, I went deeper into my examples, being more detailed so that I could figure out what was going through my head and so that my audience could as well.

    1. Madame L’Espanaye and her daughter, habited in their night clothes, had apparently been occupied in arranging some papers in the iron chest already mentioned, which had been wheeled into the middle of the room. It was open, and its contents lay beside it on the floor.

      Turner participates in a ‘Rue Morgue’ situation in Confessions which reads like a rehearsal for what happens afterwards at Mrs. Whitehead’s. Again, two defenseless white women are alone in an isolated room and the first is killed with one blow of Will’s axe. Here Turner – who hasn’t killed anyone yet - is almost gentle with the second victim:

      "I took Mrs. Newsome by the hand, and with the sword I had when I was apprehended, I struck her several blows over the head, but not being able to kill her, as the sword was dull. Will turning around and discovering it, despatched her also" [12]

      Turner was a great revolutionary but a poor killer. Holding the lady by the hand and attempting to bash her skull in with a blunt sword must have filled the drawing room with her screams, but Turner prefers not to dwell on cries of anguish.

      In “Murders” Poe more than makes up for Turner’s silence by introducing noise, and with it a powerfully sexual dimension not explicit in Confessions. In “Murders”, the neighborhood gendarme says he heard

      "…screams of some person (or persons) in great agony – (the screams) were loud and drawn out, not short and quick" [248].

      Another passer by heard shrieks for ten full minutes, and says that they were “long and loud – very awful and distressing.”

    2. The screams and struggles of the old lady (during which the hair was torn from her head) had the effect of changing the probably pacific purposes of the Ourang-Outang into those of wrath

      Poe’s narrator says that the dumb brute’s purposes were “probably pacific," but observes that it becomes aroused when the old lady struggles and screams at its touch, so it pulls out her hair.

    3. upon the head of the bed, over which the face of its master, rigid with horror, was just discernible. The fury of the beast, who no doubt bore still in mind the dreaded whip, was instantly converted into fear. Conscious of having deserved punishment, it seemed desirous of concealing its bloody deeds, and skipped about the chamber in an agony of nervous agitation; throwing down and breaking the furniture as it moved, and dragging the bed from the bedstead. In conclusion, it seized first the corpse of the daughter, and thrust it up the chimney, as it was found; then that of the old lady, which it immediately hurled through the window headlong.

      The bed, so symbolic of marriage, is the central motif around which Poe’s sadistic fantasy rotates. The Ourang-Outang symbolically destroys the ornaments of civilization as it smashes the furniture, then throws the bed “into the middle” of the debris-covered floor. The sailor, who has climbed up the lightning rod but lacks the agility to leap onto the window sill, is outside looking in over the head of the “unwieldy bedstead” which stands hard up by the window frame, like a voyeur. The disempowered master, the defenseless women and the lusty, manic beast are tensed in a triangle around the symbolic bed. The women are in their night gowns, the mother interrupted when combing her long grey hair - a traditional symbol of female sexuality – which the ourang-outang afterwards pulls out by the roots in bloody “tresses.”

    4. Gnashing its teeth, and flashing fire from its eyes, it flew upon the body of the girl, and imbedded its fearful talons in her throat, retaining its grasp until she expired.

      Turner’s Miss Margaret conceals herself under the cellar cap, another chimney-like place. Miss Margaret is the only person Turner actually kills. The killing is described very matter-of-factly, with none of the gnashing and flashing Poe introduces. Turner explains that

      "…on my approach she fled, but was soon overtaken, and after repeated blows with a sword, I killed her by a blow on the head, with a fence rail" [Confessions 32].

      While his subdued language downplays the brutality of the deed, Turner in effect beats Miss Margaret to death. In both “Murders” and Confessions isolated white women are surprised and murdered by dark-skinned males at night, in their beds. The overwhelmingly sexual dimension of the violence in these situations is one of the things that people most feared. Ourang-Outangs were believed to lust after (and perhaps mate with?) African women, and African men to prefer whites. According to Thomas Jefferson, white beauty is reinforced by blacks’

      "…own judgment in favour of the whites, declared by their preference of them, as uniformly as is the preference of the Oranootan for the black women over those of his own species" [Notes on the State of Virginia 149].

      Most mulattoes had black mothers, I believe. White men were nevertheless obsessed with the idea that black men – according to Jefferson “more ardent with their female” [Notes 150] - wanted white women. Walker scornfully retorts that

      "I would wish, candidly, however, before the Lord, to be understood, that I would not give a pinch of snuff to be married to any white person I ever saw in all the days of my life. And I do say it, that the black man, or man of color, who will leave his own color (provided he can get one who is good for any thing) and marry a white woman, to be a double slave to her just because she is white, ought to be treated by her as he surely will be, viz; as a niger!!!" [Appeal 19]

    5. With one determined sweep of its muscular arm it nearly severed her head from her body.

      Turner’s accomplice “Will, the executioner” uses an axe. Like Poe's Ourang-Outang he seizes his victim and almost decapitates her. Turner tells Gray that

      "I saw Will pulling Mrs. Whitehead out of the house, and at the step he nearly severed her head from her body [Confessions 31]"

      Decapitation is common, but nearly severing a head from a body is a less frequent occurrence. This not-quite-cutting-it-off draws a direct parallel between Poe’s ape and Turner’s slave.

    1. Categories can be viewed

      Look into categories. Implies that you have a category or question in your head already. How do I fit my block into the right hole?

    1. At the second meeting, I accidentally sat next to a senior that I knew. When I was complaining about the tiresome “class,” he shook his head and told me that their relationships were much closer than I ever thought. “When I was looking for an internship in my sophomore year, I sent a lot of cold emails to BC alumni, but I seldom had any feedback. Then I saw two alumni who mentioned ‘investment club’ on their LinkedIn pages. I told them that I was a member of the investment club, and both of them replied at once. One actually introduced me to an accounting company that he was familiar with, and I went there as a summer intern.”

      I added the personal experience of a senior in the final draft. I thought it was a good example to show the special relationship of the members in the investment club. Before listening to his story, I thought the club members never communicated with each other, but his experience made me think about their relationships again. Thus I started to wonder why did they trust each other and wanted to know about the special values shared by them. This experience also displayed the human elements of this subculture, and was related to the main idea of this essay.

    1. Through the power of God, all empires from the rising of the sun to its setting have been given to us and we own them. How could anyone achieve anything except by God’s order? Now, however, you must say with a sincere heart: “We shall be obedient, we, too, make our strength available. You personally, at the head of the Kings, you shall come, one and all, to pay homage to me and to serve me. Then we shall take note of your submission. If, however, you do not accept God’s order and act against our command, we shall know that you are our enemies.

      Because of God we have conquered many empires. How can we do anything without God's orders? You will say that "we will serve you and submit to you" If you don't submit to us and our empire then we will know that you are our enemy and are not obeying the voice of God. This shows that the society saw militarily strength as recognition and acceptance from God.

    1. Kentucky, also, has a large body of men, who will be mustered into our service should the exigency arise. It may be that some of those troops may be discharged, and their places supplied by others; but 100,000 men will perhaps be in the field in less than three months. That is not counting Virginia. You, of course, will have a large force. All these forces should co-operate to be efficient; and while I don’t claim to be a military man, it seems to me to be clear, on general rational principles, that all the forces—those of the Confederate States, those of Virginia, as well as those of the border States that are not yet out of the Union—should be under one head, as also all the military operations of the country directed to the same ends. It is generally admitted that, in the execution of laws, it is essential that there should be one head; but more important than in the usual execution of laws is it that military operations should be under one head. In physical economy all the parts and functions in each organism, to be efficient, are under the control of one head, one animating, moving spirit, with one sensorium, one mind, one directing will. In military matters, looking to the same ends and objects, there should be one head. It is probable Virginia will be the main theatre, to a great extent, of the pending conflict. Maryland may be, perhaps—we don’t know; but the line of Virginia, your great waters on the North, necessarily make you, in this conflict, the theatre of large and extensive military operations, if not the scene of the bloodiest conflicts that this continent has ever yet witnessed. You will, necessarily, therefore, look to the Southern confederacy immediately for aid, even whether you become a member of it or not. I will state here, however, before passing any further, that we are looking to this, your ultimate union with us, as a fixed fact; and the unanimous desire of every branch of our government is, that, just as speedily as possible, you will thus link your fortunes with ours. Your cause is ours, your future will be ours; and your destiny must be ours.

      10 & 20 - The author claims that Virginia should secede because it will support the armies of the other Confederate States. The author ties this idea with the fact that the federal government of the Union was controlled by corrupt Northerners that caused issues that they do not want in the Confederacy.

    1. A longer-term goal, more in line with the vision of the NGDLE, is to develop a learning experience for students that seamlessly crosses platforms. A student might start by watching lectures on YouTube, then head to a web-based tool for creating a concept map before wrapping up with a shared WordPress site -- all within the confines of one platform.
    1. Coral in North Carolina?

      The map isn't showing up sometimes in the live site, error: initMap is not a function. There are several things that could be causing this, and several solutions. Try declaring the initMap function in the head of your HTML. I've heard that often fixes the intermittent fail problem.

      Also, I think you said you were planning to make info windows for each the coral icons. Definitely do that; users will expect it.

    1. who argued in a 2016 commentary published by Breitbart that Muslim women seeking accommodations to wear a head scarf in the workplace are part of a “Muslim effort to impose Islam on the secular marketplace

      Evidence of ignorance/result of fearmongering. Equating a piece of clothing to imposition of religion on a secular marketplace I view as an extreme overreaction and evidence of a very real fear of Islam and the belief that the religion and its adherents would completely eliminate "the west."

    2. 11 percent who think “most” or “almost all” American Muslims are anti-American. Fourteen percent thought that about half of all American Muslims are against America. A 2017 poll found that half of United States adults believed that Islam does not have a place in “mainstream American society,” and almost half (44 percent) thought there was a “natural conflict between Islam and democracy.

      These statistics are almost hard to believe. The aforementioned industry of fearmongering has certainly been sucessful by these metrics. Islam here stands in as a scapegoat, seen by some large percentage of the population as anti-american and anti-democracy, with no place in American society; the logical next steps of these beliefs are terrifying.

      I also want to link this to Shryock's piece, where he claims that Arabs/Muslims in the US "express high levels of 'pride in being American'" (149). This contrast is hard to imagine, the non-Muslims of the US despise the Muslims, while the Muslims themselves are very proud to be American. Difficult to wrap one's head around. Hatred does not seem to be begetting hatred, a real positive note in this story.

    1. health

      From "Regulations to be Observed by Persons Employed in the Boott Cotton Mills" (1866):

      "They are not to be absent from their work without consent, except in case of sickness, and then they are to send the Overseer word of the cause of their absence."

      From "Bennett Letters: M.M. Edwards" (1839):

      "I would not advise any one to do it for I was so sick of it at first I wished a factory had never been thought of...My health is very poor indeed but it is better than it was when I left home."

      From "Bennett Letters: Jemima W. Sandborn" (1843):

      "Our famely is all in good health except myself. I have been qite out of health this spring but am much better now. The Doctor says I have the liver complaint."

      From "Bennett Letters: Lucy Davis" (1846):

      "After I had been there a number of days I was obliged to stay out sick but I did not mean to give it up so and tried it again but was obliged to give it up altogether. I have now been out about one week and am some better than when I left but not verry well. I think myself cured of my Mill fever as I cannot stand it to work there...My head is considerably affected since I went into the Mill...Next time I write I hope my head will feel better and I will write more..."

      From "Pleasures of Factory Life" in Lowell Offering by Sarah G. Bagley (1840):

      "We are placed in the care of overseers who feel under moral obligations to look after our interests; and, if we are sick to acquaint themselves with our situation and wants; and, if need be, to remove us to the Hospital, where we are sure to have the best attendance, provided by the benevolence of our Agents and Superintendents."

    1. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

      I'd like to understand a little better how accessibility relates particularly to the topic at hand? Moreso, for instance, than to traditionally-copyrighted materials? This guideline document is quite elaborate and to be honest, I looked at it for a few minutes and then sort-of backed away, shaking my head. I believe thinking about the usability of things we create with open licensing is important, but to be honest this is more than I'd be comfortable trying to consider when creating new OER. My suggestion, I guess, would be to find somebody to translate this legalese into simple language and straightforward guidelines (as the CC organization has done for CC).

    1. That’s because the 20-year-old cultivated good habits while attending high school in Glen Head, New York. “I had an assignment pad where I wrote everything down,” he explains. “I also had a big calendar on my bedroom wall. I wrote down upcoming papers and dates, so I always knew what I had going on.

      The calendar idea goes along with my previous idea of making a plan for the semester before it actually starts to ease the transition into school work.

    1. Some of these men had climbed to the summit of Monte Gargano, to you, Michael the Archangel, to fulfil a vow which they had made. There they saw a man clad in the Greek manner, called Melus. They were amazed at the peculiar costume of this stranger, one which they had never seen before, with his head tied up in a bonnet wrapped around it. On seeing him they asked who he was and where he came from. He replied that he was a Lombard, a citizen of noble birth from Bari, and that he had been forced to flee from his native land by the cruelty of the Greeks. When the Gauls sympathised with his fate he said, ‘If I had the help of some of your people, it would be easy for me to return, provided that you were willing’. Indeed he assured them that with their help the Greeks could rapidly and with no great effort be put to flight. They promised him that they would swiftly provide this help, along with others from their country, to which they were about to return.

      Some men had climbed up a mountain to fulfill a promise and they saw a man in amour. They questioned him and he said that he was a Lombard and that he had been forced to run away because of the Greeks. They promised that they would help him along with others from the country they were returning to.

    1. For young audiences who absorb ideas from the media on how to behave and what to become, these characterizations can lead to false assumptions and harmful conclusions.

      When someone who is young and developing sees stereotypical ideas in the media, they are likely to have ideals in their head about themselves that are inaccurate. It can limit their growth and opportunity.

      THE SECOND COMING

      Turning and turning in the widening gyre

      The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

      Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

      Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

      The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

      The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

      The best lack all conviction, while the worst

      Are full of passionate intensity.

      Surely some revelation is at hand;

      Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

      The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out

      When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi

      Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;

      A shape with lion body and the head of a man,

      A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

      Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it

      Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.

      The darkness drops again but now I know

      That twenty centuries of stony sleep

      Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,

      And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

      Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

      William Butler Yeats

    1. The process of storyboarding facilitates the introduction of events in a logical and orderly sequence thereby illuminating gaps or omissions overlooked in a traditionally composed draft. When these breaks in the flow of the story are realized, the writer can make necessary revisions in the draft before recording the narration.

      They are able to visually see the story to watch it flow. With the composition simply in words, they are less likely to be able to picture it in their head and watch the flow to see if it has any gaps. When they are able to put it into a storyboard they can see it and it also gives them a way to solve the issue before they do the final product, and with writing it always feels more final especially for kids and they are less inclined to fix the problem if there is one because it is more intimidating because it all seems like one piece. In a storyboard it is all broken up so its easier to fix the small pieces of the whole.
