I feel like this is a generality that applies to literally every living person, but I can see the author is trying to claim that it's a special case for this generation.

This seems to be tied to annotation 6, which she is probably using here as a theory text.

What about sexist, ableist, and just all-around offensive content?

I think I'll take a similar approach for at least a part of my paper, examining how people have responded to hateful ways in which Pepe is being used by posting their own non-hateful Pepe memes.

There is so much disagreement about what constitutes as hate speech, especially in an age where certain political agendas are trying to claim that certain words are inherently offensive--which is, of course, impossible.

An autobiographical song, and a very intense, emotional one at that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3olE6bHjBw This is the one motive out of the seven that I feel fits this song most. The whole song is like a confession for Eminem, since he's bearing his emotions about his relationship for the whole world to see.

1. This is incredibly honest and vulnerable, this admittance to traces of masochism; this leads the reader to believe the rest of what he says more readily, or at least to be more sympathetic to him. How much of ourselves should we be required to share to gain one another's trust?

1. Rousseau seems to be rather candid, yet also very jaded about this development in his life. He seems resentful of his own nature, which is something to which we can all relate.

1. This is fascinating and a little whiny, but very relatable to many different types of shortcomings. These portions at the end of his experiences where he ties them to his whole being help to give tone to the whole piece.

I've always believed that you don't need a good story to tell a good story; only a good storyteller. The devices of plot and story structure, in Wordsworth's estimation, are less meaningful than the passion with which an experience is conveyed.

3: This concept rings familiar to the claim paragraph I wrote about the Solitary Reaper poem, in which I argued that one's perception and the emotion which they bring to an event or scene matters more--at least in their perception--than the scene itself. Based on this particular statement in the preface, I believe Wordsworth would strongly agree that it doesn't matter what the reaper was actually singing about; what matters is how it affected the narrator and how he will never forget the impact that she left on him. The feelings and emotion of humans can be applied to situations through so many lenses that events can be seen in entirely different lights and contexts, such that in many ways subjectivity often trumps objectivity. Interpretation is everything. There are no absolutes, only perspectives.

2: This is a clever bit of wordplay; in case any readers had been hardening their minds against his preface at this point, they might be somewhat amused by this and thus more likely to look favorably upon the whole work. He makes it clear that he doesn't intend to persuade the reader into accepting his poetry; he recognizes and acknowledges that his poems will not be everyone's cup of tea. With this basis in place, the author invites the audience to give this work a chance despite any misgivings they might have at this point.

1. Wordsworth was one of the loudest first proponents of writing poetry in common speech and vernacular, rather than lofty, incomprehensible patterns. Likewise, his focus on pleasure as the main goal of poetry was revolutionary and not entirely appreciated by many of his contemporaries at the time.

I did it! Are you proud of me?
