Giving the audience time to think about these questions can give them a better connection to the topic at hand. Tue, 23 Nov 2021 09:16:05 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/295852?scroll_to=2627804 https://nowcomment.com/documents/295852?scroll_to=2627804 Putting emphasis on these lines can better engage the audience and let them understand what is being spoken about. Tue, 23 Nov 2021 09:16:04 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/295852?scroll_to=2627796 https://nowcomment.com/documents/295852?scroll_to=2627796 Susan speaks mostly about introverts and extroverts and their typical habits. This is ironic because she first says that she is an introvert, yet she is giving a great talk about the same topic. The life presented in her voice would not give the audience the idea that she is an introvert. Tue, 23 Nov 2021 09:16:04 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/295852?scroll_to=2627778 https://nowcomment.com/documents/295852?scroll_to=2627778 The humor that Susan brings into her TED Talk adds life to what is being said. The audience can be better engaged and relatable to the content. Tue, 23 Nov 2021 09:16:04 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/295852?scroll_to=2627744 https://nowcomment.com/documents/295852?scroll_to=2627744 When Susan says the line "The right way to go," she puts a lot of emphasis on these words. She is almost sarcastic while saying this, only because the people at camp were telling her not to read her own books. They did not agree with her introverted ways. Tue, 23 Nov 2021 09:16:04 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/295852?scroll_to=2627727 https://nowcomment.com/documents/295852?scroll_to=2627727 Susan Cain uses life in this part of her speech by acting out what she did at summer camp. It would have been easy to just say the simple chant or cheer they did, but instead she acted it out as if she was still at summer camp. The life in her voice gave the audience a better understanding of what actually happened. Tue, 23 Nov 2021 09:16:03 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/288499?scroll_to=2567088 https://nowcomment.com/documents/288499?scroll_to=2567088 Sister Corita wanted to look at the world in small pieces at a time. Her and her students had little viewfinders so that they could only focus on little parts. The students created art from these small images, and Corita told them it would be more creative that way. Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:14:46 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/288499?scroll_to=2567087 https://nowcomment.com/documents/288499?scroll_to=2567087 "She erupted, she just was like a little firework going off all the time." This quote from the video really shows how creative Sister Corita's mind was. Her teacher tells listeners that it was one of the most interesting and exciting classes she had ever had. Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:14:46 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/288499?scroll_to=2567086 https://nowcomment.com/documents/288499?scroll_to=2567086 In the video, we see that Sister Corita would not have had the influence that she did without the push of Sister Magdelene. She never would have succeeded in the way that she did, and would not have such an impact still on the world today. Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:14:45 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/288499?scroll_to=2567083 https://nowcomment.com/documents/288499?scroll_to=2567083 As several people in the video say, Corita had a very positive impact on those she encountered. She was touching to those she spoke to and had wisdom about the world. She was loving, and was able to inspire so many people. Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:14:45 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/288499?scroll_to=2567081 https://nowcomment.com/documents/288499?scroll_to=2567081 One of the pieces in the beginning of the video says "A Smile Burst Into Bloom." This piece of art is bright and inspiring. It gives a positive and happy vibe along with the words in the image. Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:14:45 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531935 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531935 Finding humor within situations if oftentimes a great coping mechanism. While many like to grieve and react in a sad way to hard matters, some find humor. Finding humor can make a situation lighter, and could change the topic at hand quickly. Incorporating humor can make others feel better, along with yourself. This instinct is sometimes helpful when it comes to hard situations in life. Mon, 30 Aug 2021 14:22:00 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531930 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531930 Being able to compare past experiences with what is present in life is an important skill to have. This is oftentimes how humans relate to one another, or engage in conversation. This knowledge can help with new situations, like if the same problem occurs twice. Some may be more knowledgeable than others based on their past experiences in life and how they apply them to the present. Mon, 30 Aug 2021 14:18:13 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531927 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531927 Being able to think flexibly is an important habit of mind. The ability to think about more than one thing at once can help to stay organized and focused. It is common to forget about things, such as important dates for events or assignments in school. If one is able to think flexibly, they will not only think about the task at hand, but rather everything going on as a whole. Mon, 30 Aug 2021 14:15:21 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531898 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531898 Success cannot always come easy. Without action, things would never get done. Being successful comes with responsibilities, like putting in the work. Working towards anything will make you better. For something to feel rewarding, the work must come first. Thu, 02 Sep 2021 22:01:31 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531890 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531890 If these intellectual behaviors are habits, then we really cannot choose when or not to use them. A habit is something that someone does without really realizing, because it is so common in their lives. Most of us cannot "choose" when to pursue these behaviors that we call habits. Mon, 30 Aug 2021 14:09:23 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531882 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531882 When these kinds of situations occur, we go back to our personal "habits of mind." Although these are personal, most of us probably learned these ways of thinking from someone else. These behaviors were most likely a reflection of what we have seen others do in our lives. Mon, 30 Aug 2021 14:06:10 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2528930 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2528930 In this paragraph, Nanny goes into descriptive detail about slavery. The quote that stuck out the most was "Ah was born back due in slavery so it wasn't for me to fulfill my dreams of whut a woman oughta be and to do." This line indicates that Nanny missed out on normal "woman" things because of slavery. This affected her life and made Nanny who she is today. She tries to comfort Janie with these stories but it does not help. Sun, 29 Aug 2021 12:44:29 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2528929 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2528929 This line is relatable to our current generation. With the existence of the Internet and social media, people do not have to talk to others face to face. They talk only behind their back, but this is not okay. Sun, 29 Aug 2021 12:40:22 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2528914 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2528914 This line does not make much sense compared to the rest of the story. Janie is only 16, and is going to marry a man way older than she is. Tea Cake is closer in age but that is somehow a problem. Sun, 29 Aug 2021 12:38:07 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2528897 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2528897 This paragraph shows the way men react to women. Not seeing her mental state, but only her physical looks. They do not pay attention to the mood she is in, that does not benefit them. The men here only care for her appearance. Sun, 29 Aug 2021 12:23:30 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2377040 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2377040 Although most of us have air conditioning, we take for granted the things we have that many people do not. This student is more than happy to bring home a fan for the summer. To us, this would be a weird gesture and not needed. We should be more appreciative with what we have, especially compared to these students. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2377031 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2377031 These last few lines give a very positive view of the teacher. The student is forever changed by this kind teacher. I am sure he is upset about having to leave this teacher for the summer, but her kindness will forever stay with the student. This is almost life changing for the student. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2377026 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2377026 These first two lines give an interesting perspective on what the teacher is trying to say. "Ties her students' name tags around bullets" leaves interesting thoughts in the readers head. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2377013 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2377013 As we see in these lines, this student is more than excited to take home a fan for the summer. When the teacher asks about his summer plans, the biggest thing he has in mind has to do with the fan he was just given for the summer. I think this shows a lot about how much this small gesture meant to him, and how it will be meaningful the whole summer. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2377003 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2377003 The teacher gives the students some "food for thought" and tells them to think about what they think the story is going to be mostly about. This can be a good way to begin teaching purpose within stories to younger students. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376986 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376986 I think school makes many kids feel this way. So much work they cannot handle it all. This amount of work and study puts so much stress on students. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:46 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376980 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376980 These lines really show the frustration and hardworking thoughts of kids while taking these standardized tests. A second grader having more than 40 questions on a test seems unreal. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:46 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376967 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376967 This line is comparing slavery to a hard working student. I think many could take this line as even offensive. Why would someone want to say that? Even if she is hardworking, it should never be like a slave. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:46 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376963 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376963 These lines also show how school can take away from a child's imagination and daydreams. School can ruin the child's sense of wanting to daydream and imagine. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:46 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376956 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376956 I think it is important for children to continue daydreaming. This lets them be creative and happy, thinking about whatever they want to think about. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:46 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376948 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376948 The title of this poem leaves the reader wondering about what is to come. It is a title that leaves questions, so you would want to keep reading. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:46 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376939 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376939 In this first line, the child is honest about his situation to his teacher. This shows his innocence, but also how they do not have money. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:46 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376935 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376935 In this line, we see the real innocence and creativity within the child. They have not seen the ocean before, but imagine what it might be like. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:46 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376926 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376926 In the cover photo, we also notice the children are not wearing shoes. Again, this could be a sign that these kids do not have it easy. The title and image play into this thinking. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:45 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376918 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376918 The wings on the children on the cover of the book can represent many things. Inferring from the wings and the title of the book, these kids do not have it easy, but they are innocent. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:45 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373924 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373924 Although this tactic of only speaking the learned language could be good practice for the students, it is not right for the teacher to do something different. Sometimes, adults have the control, which means it is okay for them to do as they please. The teacher in the story draws the line multiple times. Her ways and tactics are rude, and even cruel to the students. Her tone is negative and brings a dark light to her character. Thu, 11 Mar 2021 13:32:00 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373922 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373922 Although the teacher being described in this paragraph seems cruel, it was a moment for realization for Sedaris. I do not think the things that this teacher says are okay. Although these statements helped him understand, I do not think it was right for the teacher to say these things. Wed, 10 Mar 2021 13:29:40 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373916 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373916 The line before this humorous quote is very harsh. "Fall arrived and it rained every day, meaning we would now be scolded for the water dripping from our coats and umbrellas." This line sounds as if there is somewhat of a sense of humor covering up the tension. Going from such an intense line to a humorous joke is a way to cover up real emotions. Wed, 10 Mar 2021 13:25:38 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373911 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373911 I think the use of the real quote helps the reader understand what is really going on. We see how broken his language is, but he is trying his best to work on it. I think this is an important aspect to the story, as it gives the reader a real sense of David's language. Wed, 10 Mar 2021 19:39:10 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373909 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373909 Sedaris had a confident mindset coming into class, though after class he could no longer believe in himself. This experience brought him down, in a way he did not feel before. Sedaris did not want to say the wrong thing. Wed, 10 Mar 2021 13:20:26 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2372151 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2372151 I agree with Carter's statement. Students sit at school for about 7 hours everyday, doing schoolwork and working hard on their assignments, only to go home to more. While some students might only have the responsibility of homework, others have work, practice, games, or even just responsibilities at home. There is so much stress on students that teachers and parents may not even know about. Tue, 09 Mar 2021 09:18:47 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260957?scroll_to=2360935 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260957?scroll_to=2360935 With his knowledge comes negatives. The fact that he is more aware of what is happening compared to other slaves is a hard idea to accept. The fact that he has more knowledge actually puts him at a sort of disadvantage. Mon, 13 Sep 2021 16:02:10 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260957?scroll_to=2360934 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260957?scroll_to=2360934 As the author realized his privilege to other slaves, he realized that he was actually jealous of them. He envied their lack of knowledge on what was happening to them. The fact that he wished he could not read says a lot. He was probably one of the most privileged of his kind, and he did not appreciate it. I think this says a lot about this time and what knowledge meant to people. Mon, 13 Sep 2021 16:02:10 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2352603 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2352603 Even though the teacher is wrong, I feel that Rachel did not have to argue to prove her point. She could have been calm and respectful when telling the teacher that the sweater was not hers. Thu, 25 Feb 2021 08:15:14 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2352602 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2352602 I agree, this is one of those situations for Rachel. She is extremely uncomfortable and just wants to leave right then. Especially on a birthday, this is not how you want to be feeling. I think the teacher could have had more sympathy for Rachel, seeing as she was upset and clearly she did not want to wear the sweater. Thu, 25 Feb 2021 08:13:52 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352601 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352601 I agree. The boy thought he was doing what was best for him. In reality, this was not a good situation to put himself in. He was lucky the woman was nice enough to help him rather than call the police. Now the boy knows what his best option is. Tue, 20 Apr 2021 22:01:28 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352600 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352600 Even though the boy tried to steal her purse in the beginning, the woman realizes his situation. The fact that she was kind enough to teach him a lesson rather than call the police is a very kind thing to do. The woman even offered to buy him shoes. I think these actions say a lot about her. Tue, 20 Apr 2021 22:01:28 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352599 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352599 I agree with you, Ethan. Although this was a small act of kindness from the woman, the boy will never forget the nice things she did for him. Tue, 20 Apr 2021 22:01:28 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352598 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352598 I think after the boy tried to steal her purse, the woman realized what kind of place this boy might come from. After he was brutally honest about running away if she let him, I think the woman gained respect, even though he tried to steal her bag. The fact that she offered to have the boy cleaned up and teach him a lesson tells a lot about the woman. Tue, 20 Apr 2021 22:01:28 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2335180 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2335180 I agree. The author is explaining that she is unable to read because it is nature. Although we as humans have a good understanding of how nature works, we do not know every single detail. And here, she is saying that nature has its own story, we may never understand. Fri, 12 Feb 2021 16:06:30 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2335178 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2335178 Mullen is not remembering the specific moment, she is remembering the small details that go with it. The location, like what is being said here, is what she remembers from her last visit. Fri, 12 Feb 2021 16:05:06 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2335175 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2335175 I agree with your statement. This stanza gives off a deeper meaning. While she mentions abuse, she also mentions suicide. The author uses deep and harsh words to grab the attention of the reader. Fri, 12 Feb 2021 16:02:58 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2335172 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2335172 I agree with you, Kennedy. I think the words in this stanza are powerful and harsh, but I think it is somewhat of a reality. Fri, 12 Feb 2021 15:55:47 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301839 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301839 Although Morrie needed his family by his side while he was dying, Mitch's brother did not feel the same way. Mitch's brother did not want to be with nor speak to his family during his battle with cancer. Even though this may seem odd to many people, I can see where he is coming from. Sometimes being alone during hard times can help to figure out your feelings. Although family is always good to have by your side, some alone time can also benefit. Fri, 29 Jan 2021 13:44:43 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301794 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301794 I like this line that Mitch says to Morrie. He is talking about how he wants to go, and how he wants his last moments to feel. Although this might be how he really feels, Mitch explains that he should not let go yet. Mitch gives Morrie some hope, some feeling that he is not ready to let go of him yet. Fri, 29 Jan 2021 13:24:14 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301786 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301786 With this disease, Morrie has time everyday to think about the way he is going to pass away. I think these emotions would be hard to accept. But once you accept your fate, it might be easier to hope for a peaceful way out. No pain. No suffering. Fri, 29 Jan 2021 13:19:18 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266544 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266544 This image is devastating to look at to say the least. Bodies burning on the street is the main focus of this photo. But the men in the back give a powerful message. Watching victims burn, in the middle of some kind of street it looks like. They just patiently wait for the job to be done. Fri, 08 Jan 2021 13:58:13 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266541 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266541 This image gives a very accurate visual of this year. No people outside, enjoying normal things in life. The lack of residents using these tables shows how much this pandemic has changed our lives.

Even with guns pointed towards them, these people were still willing to come in. All very dedicated and devoted to what they believe in.

Putting yourself in the shoes of the man in the trailer could really change the way you think about it. People this man might have known personally, laying in bags, at rest due to a foreign virus.

We now realize how much of an impact this has on our lives. The way we live will forever be different because of it.

The black and white and the long face of the nurse gives a deep feeling. All the masks and protective gear to keep nurses safe is such a long process.

I remember when I heard the news as well. I was out to eat with my family at Outback. It was on every screen in the restaurant, and no one knew how to act.

After Kobe's death, no one knew what to do or say. It felt as if nothing else mattered. I almost feel like this tragic event started the "terrible", or different year of 2020.

This is the first time I am seeing this picture, and I feel as if it should be a bigger deal. This year, many things like this have been overlooked. The pandemic and politics seem to be the only subject matter anywhere we go.

A fun picture soon turns into something we never see. No masks, people close together, normal sports. These are all rare things in this year like no other.

Arnold had doubts about going back into the store, but when he did, he had to pay for his unwanted items again. This scene shows how the real world usually is. Instead of the girl saying "You sure like your breakfast cereal," she could have asked if this was a mistake. Maybe ask if he really intended to buy this amount.

He wants a new job, but would feel responsible for those he is leaving behind. His feeling of responsibility is not good for him and his wife. While they are at counseling, he explains his concern. The counselor then tells him how this is not good for their marriage.

Although it is sometimes overlooked, mental health can be just as important as physical health. Lines 9 and 10 say "the world telling me. Always be strong." I feel like these lines stand out because sometimes emotions or feelings can get out of hand, but to always be strong is encouraging. Thu, 29 Oct 2020 23:37:33 -0400
