Yet at the same time she couldn't let her Nanny down anymore and decided to sacrifice her own ideas of love Fri, 27 Aug 2021 11:27:47 -0400 point of view https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2526213 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2526213 Janie's mindless act of hopeless romance has now been turned into what seems the actions that turned her from a child to an adult. Nanny and Janie both have very different point of views in this moment Fri, 27 Aug 2021 11:23:29 -0400 Differences https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2526212 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2526212 I find it interesting that Janie was the only child who did not recognize herself ,but the other children had no issue identifying her Fri, 27 Aug 2021 11:18:19 -0400 a push in the story https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2526196 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2526196 This paragraph pushes the story forward as Janie implies the relationship she has with Pheoby and with that comes the story she tells her Fri, 27 Aug 2021 11:11:04 -0400 This is expressing the struggles of the black community, each night there are thousands of mouths that go unfed. Those mouths are then forced to work in rather difficult conditions. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380268 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380268 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 15:00:00 -0400 The author is letting the reader know that she is going to give her daughter the tools to understand and "read" her own path ahead. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380255 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380255 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:59 -0400 This is the child expressing her struggles. A child should be happy and carefree, not worrying about their living conditions at such a young age. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380246 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380246 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:59 -0400 This sentence shows the child's stress she is expressing her anger and losing the drive to learn at a young age. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380236 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380236 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:59 -0400 This sentence alone goes to show how repressing school is, it takes a toll on young minds. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380229 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380229 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:59 -0400 This sentence expresses the freedom of the children, they are comfortable in their environment and they are discovering who they are. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380195 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380195 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:58 -0400 once again this is anther action that would resemble comfort as the children are just diving into the bean bags without caution. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380184 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380184 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:58 -0400 The action of a bubble popping is so thrilling as a child, the chase of the clear orb until poof, its gone. The bubbles can represent how fast life can vanish. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380159 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380159 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:58 -0400 This creates a sense of relaxation as the child's shoes are off and they are in a activity that is mindless. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380142 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380142 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:57 -0400 If the authors son dives into his true potential he will create some movement in their stagnant life. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380130 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380130 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:57 -0400 I like how the author is saying words can be spoken but until there is an action put behind them there will be no change. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380115 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380115 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:57 -0400 The fear of the unknown is powerful. The author has no clue what the world holds and do not want to ruin his sons perception. For all he knows it only gets worse. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380103 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380103 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:56 -0400 The feeling of creating a small location a ones world is limiting to such a crippling degree. Life has no room for expansion, there is no room for new growth in a self created universe. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380095 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380095 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:56 -0400 The author has hope. He has hope that the child will achieve greatness, unlike himself. He wants to be the child's "push" ,his drive will be what allows the child to see beyond the roof tops. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380080 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380080 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:56 -0400 This to me expresses that he wasn't able to reach his heights without the help of someone else. In life to reach our heights we need a push and without it we wouldn't go beyond our current level https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380057 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380057 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:55 -0400 I like how the author is using technology as a way to expand the readers mind. Instead of comparing the ocean to a something else large, they are using YouTube. YouTube is a tool that the reader can use and adds more of a real life connection. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380034 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2380034 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:55 -0400 This section shows that the narrator is not expelling their negative experiences on the child, they are letting the child find their own way. I feel as if people think it is a bad thing to be lost, but in reality it is when we truly find ourselves. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2379997 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2379997 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:55 -0400 This sentence goes to show a feeling of creativity. We live in a very cruel world where we are forced to think realistically and not take a moment to let our minds run free. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2379987 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2379987 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:55 -0400 The part of the quote that stood out to me is when it is brought up that he begins to discover his state of oppression. A child should never have to have that realization. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2379966 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2379966 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:54 -0400 A butterfly is a beautiful creature but is delicate and can be harmed easily. I feel as if the wings were used to symbolize the beauty of being a child, but also the dangers. https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2379892 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263250?scroll_to=2379892 Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:59 -0400 the power of knowledge https://nowcomment.com/documents/260957?scroll_to=2359681 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260957?scroll_to=2359681 Douglas as a young child has been privileged with the ability to read and expand his education, but at what cost? He is now a child with the burden of understanding and knowing that his conditions are inhumane. Along with that burden he has yet to find a way to change it, he now has the never ending thoughts of his conditions within his head. Mon, 13 Sep 2021 16:02:10 -0400 Teachers https://nowcomment.com/documents/260957?scroll_to=2359662 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260957?scroll_to=2359662 Douglass was a very determined child, he got a taste of knowledge from his mistress before she was engulfed in hatred. After she had stopped giving lessons Douglass used his unconventional way of bribing poor children with food and other things to create his own mini lessons to advance his education. Mon, 13 Sep 2021 16:02:10 -0400 Form https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2333001 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2333001 Tanka form contains a pattern of five seven five seven seven. This pattern is referring to the syllables within five lines in the stanza. Stanza five does follow the form described above. Thu, 11 Feb 2021 13:59:08 -0500 Birdlike, the almanac hovers https://nowcomment.com/documents/257626?scroll_to=2326791 https://nowcomment.com/documents/257626?scroll_to=2326791 This line is helping create an image within the readers head by comparing the almanac to a well know object, a bird. When thinking of a bird there is a sturdy middle section that has two light weight layered feather wings. An almanac would have a solid spine that is split with a string that would create two layered sections leading off of the solid mid section. Tue, 09 Feb 2021 13:34:53 -0500 Tombstone https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2299569 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2299569 I feel as if this is a very heavy conversation to have, as it will be the last words that physically represent your resting place. Each person who decides to visit your grave they will read the words on the tombstone and be reminded of the memories those words resurface. Thu, 28 Jan 2021 14:23:02 -0500 Substituting https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2299520 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2299520 Material Objects begin to just fill voids with temporary happiness when one is lacking human emotions that fill ones heart such as love. Thu, 28 Jan 2021 13:59:49 -0500 Separating from Envy https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2299471 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2299471 I feel as if you must be self driven and have the desire to achieve that mindset as it is not easy. One has to become self aware of their own feelings and learn when to let go and be a peace with things out of your control. I think it is a great thing to learn and to apply in daily life to become your best self. Thu, 28 Jan 2021 13:39:06 -0500 Self-Pity https://nowcomment.com/documents/243457?scroll_to=2269398 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243457?scroll_to=2269398 I feel as if it is extremely easy to feel bad for oneself, and let self-pity consume our lives. Morrie gives a new perspective on self-pity, it is not wrong but it should not consume the life you have left to live. The lesson I learned is that there is a time to reflect and be sad but the rest of the time should be used for optimistic thoughts and living. Mon, 11 Jan 2021 14:09:39 -0500 Finding your person https://nowcomment.com/documents/246954?scroll_to=2269354 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246954?scroll_to=2269354 This sentence stuck out to me because I feel as if we all have that one person that brings out the best in us without even trying. Mon, 11 Jan 2021 13:59:23 -0500 social skills https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2264631 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2264631 I agree with you, our generation is going to struggle when things transition back to face to face activities as our social skills could be lacking due to our current situation. Thu, 07 Jan 2021 20:25:12 -0500 Happy Ignorance https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2264621 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2264621 This picture captures a moment in which everyone is happy and excited for a new year with little idea of what is to come. It puts things into perspective and the fact that the future is unknown and we must live in the moment as everything can change in a short amount of time. Fri, 08 Jan 2021 11:51:45 -0500 new perspective https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2182878 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2182878 Being completely truthful, from Berry's previous golf scenes I had doubt in his skill level. When he was instructing it seemed that he had an idea of what he was doing but I was not fully convinced. The night with his father made me believe that he did not fully know what he was doing. The night with Jack changed my perception, I realized that he was fully capable of succeeding, the pressure from his father just made it difficult to show. I feel as if pressure from a family member is something that weights on many individuals, disability or not. Fri, 03 Sep 2021 09:47:19 -0400 perspective https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2182754 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2182754 Jacks job as a caregiver had allowed him to be able to look past the disabilities. He has connected with each of the boys and sees them as respected individuals with their own interest. To Jack the dance was just two people enjoying a dance. Fri, 03 Sep 2021 09:47:19 -0400 purpose of comparison https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2182452 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2182452 I feel as if the comparison is giving the reader a sense of understanding. It is illustrating the idea that all disabilities are not equal, they each have their own struggles at different severities. Fri, 27 Aug 2021 11:01:30 -0400 20. Proposition for Why We Might Read This Poem This Year/This Week/This Time. https://nowcomment.com/documents/238472?scroll_to=2175607 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238472?scroll_to=2175607 I feel as if we read this poem this week because it contributes to the theme of the week. The theme of the week seems to be mental health and awareness of it in our lives. This poem reassures the idea that it is okay to get help when not in the best place. The people in ones life should be there for the good and the bad moments. Fri, 30 Oct 2020 13:30:16 -0400
