"Technology"

I appreciate that the professor understands that navigating through three sites might be a little overwhelming at first. I have been out of school for quite some time, but trying my best to absorb everything I can in order to succeed. I am familiar with google docs and bookmarks, but that is about it. I did not even see this assignment, but as I was scrolling through the blog stream, I kept seeing blog post for it. I went back to class wiki trying to locate the assignment. As you see I found it. 

I will ask questions as need be, but learning to navigate through the different sites and making sure that I am not missing anything has been a challenge for me to say the least.

    I feel you there Tiffany! It took me some time to find the details for some of the assignments as well, lots of tabs to go back and forth between! I have been out of school for about 5 years so I know how it feels to jump back into school, it's all a little over whelming for me right now. Pretty intense orientation week eh?

Closed Reading Analysis W9: My Tongue begs for the Power of Speech

“My tongue begs for the power of speech that is Your gift to us; for silence gets its style of representation from Your gift to us. The melancholic weeping of those who live with disappointment is Your gift to us." This piece stood out to me because upon reading the author’s history, I discovered that none of his seven children lived beyond fifteen months, not to mention that his wife’s nephew who he adopted as his son died, along with his wife (587). In addition, Ghalib fell in love again with a low-caste Hindu courtesan, who also died at a young age, whose loss he mourned publicly (588). These types of tragedies are unbearable without some type of hope in a higher explanation. Therefore, I believe the dialect in the poem appears to a greater degree a supplication than a sonnet. In numerous religions there is a certain reverence one has when addressing God. The author is by all accounts requesting permission to speak freely to God concerning the gut wrenching pain he is experien...

Week 3, Analysis, Tartuffe

A Thin Line Between Reason and Wisdom At first glance you can analyze Tartuffee as a condemnation on religion, but I found it to be remarkably inverse. The contention is not with religion, but with hypocrisy and reason rooted in freethinking. In the tale of Tartuffe, Moliere accentuates the importance of heeding to wisdom. We see, Cleante, the brother in law of Orgon and the King are viewed as the voice of wisdom. While, the other characters, could be the voice of reason. Although wisdom and reason are similarly characterized, they are distinctive in meaning.  British philosopher Nicholas Maxwell has called wisdom "the capacity to realize what is of value in life for oneself and others. ” Moliere acquaints us with a man’s inability to sway from his own reasoning, only to end up encountering the ultimate betrayal before recognizing the true value of wisdom. Orgon was incapable of seeing the importance of family, after returning home from being absent for two days, he inqui...

Reading Notes W16: Recitatif, Part A

Recitatif Roberta and Twyla were two different girls & races from the same world. The only difference is that Twyla was in the foster care system because her mother like to party, however Roberta was in the foster care system because her mom was ill. They were the same age, bullied by the older girls, and both had problems learning. The interaction between Roberta and Twyla mother is interesting because the author without mentioning, alludes the issue of race but leaves it to the reader. Roberta’s mother could have walked away because she did not approve of the way Twyla mother dressed. Maggie symbolizes the girls’ mothers. Maggie could not communicate what she was feeling. She could not express the pain and cruelty she was experiencing at the hands of the gar girls. Likewise, the author compares Mary dancing and Roberta’s mother illness to Maggie. They could not verbally communicate what they were experiencing, both dance and sickness is silent. Both ladies were dealin...
