They're in the same graveyard together https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2361454 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2361454 Tue, 02 Mar 2021 09:14:10 -0600 The white and black sides of the family may have had problems back then, but now they're all going to be in the same place for the rest of time. https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2361453 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2361453 Tue, 02 Mar 2021 09:14:10 -0600 Shows how much the doctors didn't tell her family about what they were doing with her cells.

These types of things still happen today with POC. https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349365 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349365 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 09:26:51 -0600 Gives a sense of when this was written and how racial inequality has changed over time https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349346 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349346 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 09:24:20 -0600 Title of the chapter https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349336 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349336 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 09:19:34 -0600 she was very young when she lost her mother, so she probably had to raise herself https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349314 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349314 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 09:18:38 -0600 the author gives great visuals for each character, but emphasizes what cliff looks like more than others https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349295 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349295 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 09:15:11 -0600 Talking about cancer was a taboo subject that her family tried to avoid https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349287 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2349287 Sat, 03 Aug 2024 23:12:22 -0500 The personal stories of how people have suffered homelessness but eventually got the help they need is inspiring. This shows the reader that this problem can be stopped. It's imperative to add first hand views on the problem in order to have accurate info https://nowcomment.com/documents/253909?scroll_to=2316418 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253909?scroll_to=2316418 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 10:20:53 -0600 Similar to my article, I like how these people are being given a chance to make their life better instead of just being thrown on the streets. Proper rehabilitation is important in order to lower poverty rates. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254066?scroll_to=2316393 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254066?scroll_to=2316393 The interviews in this article make it especially personal, and as a reader I got a first hand view of how much certain things helped them get back into the real world after prison. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 10:17:53 -0600 I like the idea that the people in this article have. They are suggesting that the more homeless people that are off the streets, the better. They aren't afraid to tackle the problem head on and it shows. They use positive language to show the readers https://nowcomment.com/documents/253924?scroll_to=2316284 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253924?scroll_to=2316284 that this problem can be stopped. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 10:13:01 -0600 The author has interviewed people that have lived or are living in the camp. Most of them don't have any complaints and seem fairly happy to be in these living conditions. He provides names and who they are as well. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253927?scroll_to=2308983 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253927?scroll_to=2308983 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 13:56:47 -0600 The author gives examples of how some outsiders see the situation. They also mention rumors that were heard either around the camp or even the world. They bring up the objections and/or questions and give explanations that are given from the Turkey gov. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253927?scroll_to=2308967 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253927?scroll_to=2308967 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 13:49:56 -0600 They have some examples of other countries immigration and refuge policies, but they don't go into much detail of how big of a problem the mistreatment of these individuals is. I don't think the introduction is as strong as it could be. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253927?scroll_to=2308936 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253927?scroll_to=2308936 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 13:48:18 -0600 The fact that multiple people admit the niceness of this place is astonishing. I'm so used to seeing pictures of places here in America, so hearing this is quite shocking. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253927?scroll_to=2308337 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253927?scroll_to=2308337 In my personal learning experience, camps were used as an inhumane place to "store" people. The treatment and quality of life was among the lowest of people in America. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 13:51:56 -0600 I found it interesting to look at different refuge camps, and especially compare them to our own. At this point, American immigration "camps" should be infamous for their mistreatment of individuals. I wanted to see how other countries did it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253927?scroll_to=2308299 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253927?scroll_to=2308299 This article presents the issue, and tells how the issue is solved here in Turkey specifically. They list some clear solutions, but also claim that it is expensive and takes a lot to upkeep. Tue, 02 Feb 2021 13:51:55 -0600 Positivity https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292521 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292521 I agree that the positivity attracts more people and could possible mend the divide that has been inflicted upon our nation recently. Tue, 26 Jan 2021 09:36:33 -0600 Talks more on unity and positive change. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292496 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292496 He speaks about how there have been a lot of bag things happening recently, but that Americans are better than that, and that things will continue to get better. He talks about democracy and justice to show that it is not completely gone Fri, 05 Feb 2021 13:30:26 -0600 Theme of Unity https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292469 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292469 Biden uses the word "we" a lot to show that they are all in this together. His main theme is unity and he shows it by connecting himself to American citizens. Tue, 26 Jan 2021 09:27:30 -0600 Makes sure that people know things won't instantly get better, and there is a lot left to do. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292459 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292459 Repeats the same basic phrases with different words in order to show that there is a lot of things that need to be healed from the past couple of years. Uses repetition to really get the point across. Tue, 26 Jan 2021 09:25:41 -0600 He asks people what they can do if they all come together, to change America. He asks a lot of questions to really make people think https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285151 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285151 Fri, 22 Jan 2021 10:18:15 -0600 I agree that this paragraph wraps everything up into one short and sweet sentence that is easy to understand https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285114 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285114 Fri, 22 Jan 2021 10:15:00 -0600 He will do anything, and American citizens should do anything to ensure their freedom and liberty is never taken away. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285080 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285080 Fri, 22 Jan 2021 10:12:10 -0600 JFK explains that it is time to move on from the events of the past and look forward, away from war and bitterness. He explains that human rights need to be given back to the people as they should have never been threatened to begin with https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285074 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285074 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 08:34:25 -0600 Describes how people are more than just the party they affiliate with, or the country that they reside in. Everyone is made the same in the eyes of God. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285046 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285046 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 18:52:26 -0600 He wanted to start off positively, but not give false hope to the people. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285020 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285020 He made sure people knew that things were going to get better, but it would take time for things to change. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 13:30:26 -0600 evidence supporting claim https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265992 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265992 claim of exploring larger human concerns about different moments in time, and why race matters in this context. Fri, 08 Jan 2021 10:32:29 -0600 This image is something straight out of a dystopian novel. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257953 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257953 The head to toe hazmat suits, the men carrying multiple caskets... I can't believe this is the world that we are currently living in. This may have been in March, but the state of the world is so much worse now. Thu, 07 Jan 2021 19:23:28 -0600 This is such a shocking moment in history https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257917 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257917 The feeling of this death was almost like a superhero had fallen. It seemed that the untouchable had died and now anything was possible, (in the bad way). Fri, 08 Jan 2021 12:43:24 -0600 It is insane to see this many people together with no masks and no worries about getting sick. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257905 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257905 Even when I watch movies I still pick out all the things that I am no longer able to do, and that the people on screen are doing. I wonder when things will finally be normal, and how it will feel to be in crowds this size again. Fri, 08 Jan 2021 07:45:26 -0600 Wretched, stinking, lock-ups, scarred. Uses the senses to put the reader in the same position as the prisoners. We are in the moment with them and feel their struggle. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220512 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220512 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 10:14:46 -0600 They are made to think that the destruction of words is a beautiful thing and not taking away freedoms https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213020 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213020 In order to control the way people think, the words that exist have to be chosen too. Orwell warns us about a government taking away more and more of our rights. It starts with small, unnoticeable things, so that as there are larger things being taken away, we now see that as the norm. This is a form of desensitization. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 13:30:25 -0600 I agree with this. The pandemic has for sure made my screen time skyrocket. It has been helpful in times when you can't connect with people in person, but at some point it is too much. Yet, what options do the people that can't leave their house have? https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131030 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131030 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 10:13:48 -0500 I agree, sometimes it may feel hard to detach from your phone, but those vacations away from it are always better than being with it. You can really take in and enjoy the world. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131016 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131016 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 10:10:23 -0500 I agree that there is a problem that connects lack of sleep to smartphones. I have seen many studies and have even experienced it myself. A lot of teens would rather be on their phones than sleep. The blue light that is emitted can cause this lack ofsleep https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130991 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130991 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 13:49:23 -0500 Teens are becoming good at tuning out people in order to focus on what is on their phones. Athena says that most of her friends do it, so she does it. I agree that this is something that happens a lot in this modern world. It becomes the social norm. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130977 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130977 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 10:04:19 -0500 I agree with this. No matter a persons money situation, ethnicity, rural or urban life, it is likely that they will have a personal cell phone. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130965 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130965 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 13:41:17 -0500
