They are viewed as tongueless, earless, and eyeless. But once they arrive home they are a brother, a sister, a mother, or a father.

Men only see them as an object and places their physical features as their only trait. Women may look at other women and tear their appearances apart in desperation win an nonexistent competition.

Fri, 27 Aug 2021 13:45:26 -0400 Insult https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376755 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376755 It is interesting that a person speaking another language could be directly offending you, but it could not possibly affect you if you do not understand exactly what they are saying. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 12:22:19 -0500 Tone https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376733 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376733 The tone of the French teacher is very apparent to be cruel and demanding. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 12:20:08 -0500 Relation https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376720 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376720 I relate directly to the author because I am take a French class. It can be quite confusing with the ways they articulate sentences and speak quickly. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 12:17:54 -0500 Sink or Swim https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376713 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376713 This thought process is commonly enforced by teachers and feared by students. Students who "sink" are viewed as failures and those who "swim" are seen as overachievers. It is battleground in a challenging class, not only with the material being taught, but also facing the opinions of others. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 12:16:25 -0500 Assumptions https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376689 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376689 The author's viewing of the other students in the classroom is surprised. He did not expect people of different nationalities to speak excellent French. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 12:13:31 -0500 I agree, it is easier to recall memories within the classroom filled with joy, instead of which math lesson I learned on a specific date. It is important to enforce positivity and safe aspects within a classroom for all students to feel welcome. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376408 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376408 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:41 -0400 I agree, I feel as though harsh restrictions and expectations are placed upon children so young. They should be discovering what topics interest them, playing on a playground, and discovering who they are. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376406 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376406 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:41 -0400 I agree. Especially after our recent ISTEP testing it was easy to insert myself into these girl's shoes with feeling drained. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376404 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376404 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:41 -0400 I completely agree with this comment. It is difficult for young children to grow up and not feel represented in their own depictions. It is important to include all of diverse cultures and knowledge into children's education. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376398 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376398 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:41 -0400 Telina Johnson's metaphor was refreshing in the sense of self perseverance. Especially in times like these where circumstances are frighteningly uncertain, this metaphor signifies hope. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376396 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376396 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:41 -0400 Minute 7:22 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376390 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376390 DGK seems to be completely overjoyed to be interviewing Quartez Harris. He has many achievements and an outstanding title. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:41 -0400 This line indicates that the father was in some time told "the world is a sea of whales." It suggests that at a point in time, the father may have had hopes of an extravagant future as well. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376358 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376358 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:41 -0400 The father worries that his son will only view or experience the ocean through pixels embedded on a screen. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376350 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376350 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:40 -0400 As the father looks around his life, he is easily disgruntled with the hand he was dealt. He seems to have lost hope for the future of his son's life. He is indefinitely searching for ways his son could be disappointed. His son's future is already written https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376346 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376346 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:40 -0400 The children in these classrooms display innocence as they play with one another. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376337 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376337 Finding joy in bubbles, bean bags, and fake clouds gives them a hint of innocence. They are not yet aware of the oppression they must face, but they are finding pure enjoyment in the meantime. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:40 -0400 The warm and kind student exchanges kindness and eagerness towards his instances. He is taunted by the nearby mountains of houses with air conditioned on the way to his without. He seems to fly away gracefully, without anger. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376323 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376323 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:40 -0400 The teacher is worried her students will realize their oppressed appearance. She worries that the candy and mindless stories will no longer be a distraction to the truth. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376311 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376311 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:40 -0400 Other students placed in the classroom, along with the incredibly hard-working girl, may receive benefits or other special treatments. This young girl may not get to utilize her knowledge and true intelligence due to others holding on to their old ways. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376297 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376297 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 15:00:02 -0400 At just 7 years old, a young girl feels as though she is already finished with school. The lengthy amount of testing we all have to endure during our school career can be completely draining and feel suffocating. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376273 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376273 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:40 -0400 The father feels anger towards the situation his son is placed in. His tone and descriptions of his setting around him reveals annoyance and frustration. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376266 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376266 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:39 -0400 The line that reads "holding down mop buckets to keep the water running," symbolizes the true intentions towards his son he loves so dearly. He must hold down his son's aspirations to ensure his safety. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376253 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376253 He is worried how the current injustices and oppression may affect his son. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:39 -0400 The word usage of the word "moths" sparked curiosity in me. I believe the reader feels as if he did not deserve to feel he flew as high as "butterflies." This comparison began with the cover page being his son acquired with butterfly wings. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376227 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376227 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:39 -0400 The father worries his son has not been taught about the "sea of whales." This metaphor suggests the world as a disastrous cage.It is saddening to try to replace his curiosity about the ocean with issues placed upon himself he does not know of yet. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376222 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376222 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:39 -0400 Discovers https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376212 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376212 The young boy may not realize he is oppressed until an action or specific words are spoken against him. This suggests that he is unknowing of the injustices that seem to rule our schools, or our country for that matter. Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:58 -0400 The appearance of butterfly wings attached to the child's back allows the viewer to sense innocence embedded in these children. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376208 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2376208 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:54 -0400 Social Lines are Barbed Wire https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2373522 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2373522 Malcolm London expresses that "social lines are barbed wire." The labels placed upon people, such as "honors," "regular," or " bully," are restrictions to society. These labels convince the person that is who they are and that will determine how much they succeed in life. This distraction wavers the true meaning of education. Everyone walks halls, attends classes,and walks through doors to acquire the same education as others, but these social lines create barriers. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 13:20:41 -0500 Relation https://nowcomment.com/documents/260957?scroll_to=2355576 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260957?scroll_to=2355576 This piece from Frederick Douglass seems to correlate with Malcom X's piece due to the fact both individuals thrived off of their appreciation for literature. It is an interesting observation that Malcom X fully believed in "black separatism," while Frederick Douglass was in that oppressed category. It is symbolic for both sides of different beliefs to have a common appreciation within acquiring and learning literature. Mon, 13 Sep 2021 16:02:08 -0400 Final View https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2355571 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2355571 In Malcom X’s Learning to Read, Malcolm X represents the perfect example that self-improving starts when an individual is displeased and annoyed with their current state. For example, “I became increasingly frustrated. at not being able to express what I wanted to convey in letters that I wrote, especially those to Mr. Elijah Muhammad.(Line 5).” Malcom X expressing his frustration aloud shows he is deeply invested to begin the journey of widening is English vocabulary. Another emotion Malcom endured was envy. For example, “It had really begun back in the Charlestown Prison, when Bimbi first made me feel envious of his stock of knowledge.(Line 7).” He was increasingly jealous of the English achievement Bimbi possessed. This, for Malcom X, was his provocation to begin his homemade teachings in prison. He began scribbling words and their meanings upon paper, starting with the A’s. After working for hours, “I woke up the next morning, thinking about those words immensely proud to realize that not only had I written so much at one time, but I'd written words that I never knew were in the world.(Line 12).” The payoff from his rigorous work was undeniably satisfactory to him in a way that is not usually achievable in prison. As he goes on through his self-teachings he becomes engrossed within his studies.“With every succeeding page, I also learned of people and places and events from history.(Line 14).” It is a remarkable act for an individual to unravel a whole world within their minds. And lastly he gathers his final realization on the meaning of his teachings to himself. “In fact, up to then, I never had been so truly free in my life.(Line 19).” After he had successfully reached his aspirations, he believed it was the most free he had felt, even enclosed behind bars. Malcolm X triumphantly emphasizes the importance of self-made education and discovery with the works of literature and rhetorical skills. The thematic category my work fits into is identifying the overarching theme of the essay.

He truly felt free in a place that was the furthest from that description in other's eyes. Fri, 26 Feb 2021 08:47:52 -0500 Newfound Joy https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2355564 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2355564 The payoff from his rigorous work was undeniably satisfactory to him in a way that is not usually achievable in prison Fri, 26 Feb 2021 08:46:10 -0500 Motivation https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2355561 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2355561 Malcom X expressing his frustration aloud shows he is deeply invested to begin the journey of widening is English vocabulary. Feeling this emotion can spark motivation to begin your aspired goals.

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 14:21:32 -0500 Change of Motive https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2351211 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2351211 After Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones showed grace towards Roger, he realizes he wants her to trust him. At this point, he has only washed his face and he is already more than grateful for this woman and wants to earn her trust. Tue, 20 Apr 2021 22:01:27 -0400 Pareidolia https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2334112 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2334112 This poem is in direct relations to the term "pareidolia." Pareidolia is the tendency for incorrect perception of a stimulus as an object, pattern or meaning known to the observer. The writer of this poem is viewing nature as something different than another may see. Fri, 12 Feb 2021 10:17:35 -0500 Correlation https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2334104 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2334104 I completely agree with your correlation between the Black Lives Matter movement to this piece. I think it is disheartening to realize these issues are sill present for specific races in our country. Fri, 12 Feb 2021 08:40:00 -0500 Indenial https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301284 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301284 I believe we have all felt this emotion. Whether it be involved with family or a significant other. We convince ourselves if we do not think about it, then we can make ourselves not grieve. But overtime, the obstacle must be faced and met. Fri, 29 Jan 2021 11:55:27 -0500 The context of this image can be very confusing for the people viewing. A man carrying a flag, representing care and love for his country, but also storming its Capitol and causing havoc is contradictory. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248259?scroll_to=2265132 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248259?scroll_to=2265132 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 08:53:21 -0500 As statues of great heroes stand behind people who wrongfully take items that are sacred to the Capitol, this man believes he is instigating a ¨rightful¨ revolution. I do not understand what taking a podium will do for his beliefs and ideas to be heard. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248259?scroll_to=2265129 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248259?scroll_to=2265129 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 08:46:25 -0500 As it should be understood, the Confederate flag is deeply offensive and wrongly used. Bringing this flag for the first time in the Capitol brings a pang of worry and anger across multiple communities. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248259?scroll_to=2265105 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248259?scroll_to=2265105 Fri, 03 Sep 2021 09:47:21 -0400 They were extremely devastating. We had no clue the events that would come soon after this tragedy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2265095 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2265095 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 08:29:25 -0500 I agree. I am thankful to have been apart of the generation and movement that started BLM. The injustices brought to African American communities is heartbreaking and cruel. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260331 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260331 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 08:51:47 -0500 I agree. Even the thought of partaking in a crowd post-covid makes my anxiety crawl up. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260326 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260326 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 08:49:43 -0500 I thoroughly agree with your comment. Having to distance yourself from your family for safety precautions is painful,especially during the recent holiday season. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260294 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260294 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 08:47:25 -0500 This picture brings me great sadness as a young girl looks out her window during this pandemic. I remember being a little girl and being outside constantly with my neighborhood friends. Some of the joys childhood can bring have been taken from her. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260275 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260275 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 08:43:08 -0500 I have never come to understand the correlation with Trump supports and Anti-Maskers. I am willing to listen and process their viewings on this pandemic and their true reasoning for their actions. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260272 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260272 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 08:40:40 -0500 During times of this pandemic, it is commonly felt that we can feel isolated and disconnected with one another. I think this image is a perfect representation of our feelings during this lonely pandemic. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260266 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260266 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 13:36:09 -0500 As some people in America choose to not wear masks because it is their right, there are other individuals in numerous third world countries that do not get the chance to protect themselves. We must recognize the pandemic as a whole. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260240 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260240 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 08:34:08 -0500 The Final Realization https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184242 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184242 Throughout the whole movie, the audience may interpret Jack´s relationship as strictly just a ¨Keeper¨ or a person just going to their job everyday for pay. But once Arnold, Norman, and Lucien were loaded onto the train, Jack crumbles. Every ounce of care he had was given to these ¨boys next door.¨ Within the movie, the characters all show something they love. For Norman, his pride for working at the doughnut shop and his crush on Sheila radiates compassion. For Lucien, he desperately carries around his stuffed dog and speaks so innocently and caringly. For Arnold, his motivation throughout the movie to return the groceries is thoroughly driven. For Barry, he exposes his complex relationship with his dad and the effect it has on him. And lastly, Jack shows his absolute love, patience, an understanding with these men. Jack sees them how they should be seen by everyone. He sees them as individuals with every emotion, every hardship, and every possibility for potential. All the characters may all love different things,such as, doughnuts, a set of keys, or a stuffed dog, but Jack´s love for them is ultimate. Tue, 15 Dec 2020 12:14:03 -0500 Arnold Wiggins´ Reasoning https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2178243 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2178243 Mr. Arnold Wiggins was tricked into buying a way more abundant amount of groceries than he needed. Once he finds the courage to go back to the grocery store to return all of his items, he was mistaken for buying them again. My question is this: Why has society manipulated those with mental illnesses into thinking they are not capable of doing things for themselves. Arnold had to gather a tremendous amount of courage to walk in that grocery store with his unwanted items. I think us, as individuals in society, should become more understanding and spread awareness for mental illnesses. Fri, 03 Sep 2021 09:47:15 -0400 Analogy https://nowcomment.com/documents/238717?scroll_to=2170114 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238717?scroll_to=2170114 This poem is used as an analogy on the subject of our minds. The owl, the sensible and logical character, relates to the part of our mind that solves problems. This part of our mind can act calmly and collectively during times of distress. The other character, the chimpanzee, acts out of fear and emotion. During times of distress, this part of our mind can become present as well. All together these two unalike characters ride along in their beautiful boat called ¨The Mind.¨ The owl and chimpanzee in our minds are contradictory friends, but they make us whole and human!
