After reading act IV, I think that something that stood out to be was in II, IV, 86-94. Here, Desdemona is saying to her father that she is not a whore, and Othello is saying is that true? She is having to explain herself and further stand up for herself in a pleading tone. We see deeper into their relationship, but we also see how women were, and still are treated.

When reading act 3, there were many different quotes that stood out to me. The one that stood out the most for me was in II.iii.219-224. It felt to me that Iago was trying to control and manipulate Othello by saying that he is depressed about his wife, and is getting to a deeper meaning of their relationship. The tone was strong, and had an awkward feeling.

When reading/listening to Othello by Shakespeare, there are many different passages that are important to the story that deepen our understanding of the characters and the setting. Since this is written in old english, the meanings of the words are spoken differently, which can change the way that you interrupt what is being said. The one quote that I thought stood out to me when reading Othello was I.3.181-189. I thought that this stood out to me because it is giving Desdemona's side and she is standing up to her father talking about love and the love that she shares with her husband. She compares the love that her father has for her and his wife, and trying to get him to reason with her.

Both of the headliners tell the same story, but portraying the judge differently. “Aidan Fucci sentenced to life in prison for fatally stabbing Florida cheerleader 114 times” (NBC News) “‘Heinous, atrocious and cruel’: Judge gives life in bloody massacre of 13-year-old cheerleader” (USA Today). There is a bias here for how they talk about the murdered and the wordings that they have to pull in the audience.

The film's purpose is to show the culture that is still happening and the stereotypes that are still present in some of the traditions that are kept in cultures. We can see Paikai trying to break those, and become cheif, by showing all of her skills and how she can be stronger than any of the boys. I think that it relates to how we can see some traditions in our culture that still carry sexist ideas and see how we can improve them.

One global issue that is talked about through the film Blindspotting is racism. We see this throughout the whole film, by using the idea of continuation of the man being killed, and how Miles deals with living in West Oakland vs how Colin does.

I learned that implicit bias is the per consumption that we have of someone based off what we have already experienced. It can lead to lists that we make about someone before even talking to them or knowing anything about them. We think of ideas of how the might like, or what they could act like. From what we read, we don't know if there is going to be an implicit bias that it is written from.

In these chapters we learn a lot about other characters as they develop, and how they are all connect to each other. As we go on, the connections between everyone is more pronounced, and we learn more about everyone and their past through first, second and third person.

The quote that I choose is on page 197, which is the first page of "Blue". We learn who this person is, and a little bit of their backstory. The sentence that personally stood out to me was "Almost all I know about my birth mom is that her name is Jacquie Red Feather. My adoptive mom told me on my eighteenth birthday what jy birth mom's name is and that she's Cheyenne. I knew I wasn't white. But not all the way." The stood out to me since I was adopted when I was 7 weeks old by a Japanese American dad and a white mom. Growing up, I was lucky enough to know that I was adopted, but I've learned that not everyone has that experience. Many of my friends have learned recently that they were adopted, and some parents wait until their kid is 18. Turning 18 is a huge year as it is, but when you're adopted, you also have legal access to documents that were kept at the time of your adoption. There is more information that is given to you if you go to the court room and ask for it.

I lot of what I know about my birth mom is told to me by my adoptive mom who has been very open about the whole process to me my whole life. I have been able to ask my whole family questions about it, and as I've gotten older, I can be able to tell myself apart from my adoptive family. My mother was always the one who took care of me the most, I've always lived with her and my dad would come and visit a couple times a week. I've grown up with my moms white privilege, so I feel I can relate to this chapter as the life I was adopted into was very different than what living with my birth mom could've been.

In one of the chapters, it was mentioned that they and their siblings were born addicted to alcohol, which reminded me of a personal story that my family friend went through. Addiction in babies is almost a different type of addiction, and since the pandemic, people have been drinking more, which has lend the amount of babies born addicted to alcohol even higher than it was.

In these chapters, we read about different experiences that all of these characters have in their own perspectives. At the end, we see all of the characters come together and meet each other before the PowPow. I choose a quote from Orvil's chapter on page 120. "Didn't even quit using when they were in her. The three of them had all began life in withdrawal. Heroin babies." I think that this is an important issue that isn't talked about at all. My family friend adopted two babies, both of which were drug babies, and the withdrawal that the babies have to experience is terrible. It's not stop crying, and it can damage the brain. A lot of the time, we see addiction as a bad thing, which is it, but when it's a baby we still make it seem like there is a bad thing there. Baby withdrawals can last for over a year, and a lot of the time once they are born, they just stop getting it completely. Unlike adults, which can be slowly dosing off of the drug.

In chapters 5, 6 and 7, we read about three different characters who all have their own stories and lives going on. One of the men is an old man, Bill, who works in Oakland. Throughout chapters 6 and 7, there is the. re-mention of alcohol and drugs. On page 99, the quote that stood out to me is "She was sober again, and ten days is the same as a year when you want to drink all the time." That stood out to me, because I've seen firsthand addiction. It's one of the really hard things to come out of, and you end up losing almost everything and everyone, including yourself. It's being proud of the small achieves like being sober for a day. When you're addicted, spending 10 days sober is a huge accomplishment, and can feel like a lot longer because you're going through withdraws and your body is freaking out. The first few days, up to a couple of weeks is the hardest. Your brain and body are telling you to drink, to have that in your system, so constantly fighting it is tiring. You lose sleep, so 10 days can really feel like a year. I think that addiction and sobriety is a huge topic in our society that isn't talked about enough. We as a society frown upon addiction, but we don't see the hardship that is takes to quit. Many people just say to stop, but it's so much more than that, and it's not talked about enough.

In chapter four, we read about another young boy, Edwin Black who lives in Oakland. He is dealing with a lot of weight problems and self esteem where he stays at home with his mom. The chapter mentions a lot about weight and the way that we deal with weight in our society. The sentence that stood out to me was "I hadn't grown up fat. Not overweight. Not obese, or plus-size , or whatever you can call it now without sounding politically incorrect, or intensive, or unscientific. But I always felt fat. Did that somehow mean I was destined to one day be fat, or did my obsession with being fat even when I wasn't lead me to eventually being fat?" I related to this a lot, because when I was younger I struggled a lot with self imagine, especially the way I looked. As I got older, I started to obsess over it more, and I felt it lead to me thinking I gained weight. This isn't exactly the same as what Edwin is going through, but I defiantly relate to being obsessed with weight and the way I looked.

In chapter three, we read about a young girl, Opal Viola, who moved to Alcatraz with her family, and lived in cells. We learn that her mom has been keeping secrets from her, and so was the government. The lines that stood out to me was when her mom was talking to her and told her about these secrets. "My mom paused a long pause, looked off towards the city, and told me that she had cancer." This stood out to me, having recently experienced my mom going through breast cancer, and having the surgery for it, and now her best friend might have cancer again. I felt this related a lot to the reader about the real issues that this book deals with, not just about money, but other social issues that aren't talked about enough.

In chapter two, we learn about the life of Dene Oxendene, another young male growing up in West Oakland, and has a aspiring project. This chapter is written in third person, whereas the chapter before it was in first person. I think it helps us take a step back, and see more of the story, which is more apparent, as we are looking more into his past than the present. "I've been drinking for a long time. It helps. Some people take pills to feel okay. Pills will kill you too over time. Some medicine is poison." This part of the conversation stood out to me since addiction is a huge part of our society, especially at such a young age. People who battle with addiction, can feel like they are in their own bubble, and they can't explain their addiction. Many adults I feel, say that drinking is better than pills and drugs, and vise versa. This sentence shows us how no matter what you take, there is still such a hard impact that comes from it, and the reasons why people self-medicate are so complex. Talking about medicine is so important, since so much of hard addiction to pills start from being medicated from a big surgery.

There There by Tommy Orange is a book about differences in the lives of these characters and how urbanization has changed their lives in different ways. In chapter 1, we focus on Tony Loneman a young man living in deep West Oakland. The line that stood out to me was, "Everyone's gonna think it's about the money. But who doesn't fucking want money? It's about why you want that money, how you get it, then what you do with it that matters." I think that this relates deeply to how we value money in our society, and the power that it holds over us. Many people get rich not cleanly. The line that stood out was "how you get it." which shows the different ways people gain money, and how it deeply affects our society today.

We get to see a more hopeful tone in the first half of the poem. She illustrates a life and environment that is in that community, and how the community is. We get to see how they are supportive, and always there for each other. She uses the idea of picking up a phone as being there for someone, and how you always pick up. In the second half of the poem we see there is a shift in the tone used, and we see more of the image that people wanted to see.

She talks about how these children are freezing cold, and how they don't have a lot. She also mentions how people who don't have children can be hard, and view the world differently. Later in the poem she talks about what she would give to the children of the poor, and explains using abstract words what they are like. She mentions poverty, which is a huge world issue that we are still prominently facing. She uses a lot of abstract imagery in her writing, talking about "lost softness softly makes a trap for us," and "no velvet and no velvety velour".

Throughout the poem the tone is very blank, and straightforward. She isn't trying to make it seem less than it is.

1. The artists uses these protest signs to show how important this is to so many people, and uses this one person who is yelling at them that they are murders. We see someone who doesn't look like they have a uterus to scream at the people protesting for their rights that do.

2. "Abortions will never let you forget." There will always be something there no matter if you had the kid or not. "Whine that the crime was other than mine?" You have control of it, and there is no right or wrong answer. This cartoon is showing the two sides of the argument that the author in "The Mother" is addressing.

1. Many stories have one side that they are arguing for, whereas this story tells us a story. We aren't hearing about pro life or pro choice, we are reading about an experience that this woman who had an abortion had to go through. This touches on the global issue of Women's Rights and Abortions.

2. At the beginning of the poem the tone is very light, almost like she is shy or scared of the story that she is telling. There is an assertive tone throughout the poem. At the end, we see a change in tone. The words feel brighter, and more emotional. There is a deeper connection to what is being said, and this deep sadness that still lingers.

She uses a static tone that allows you to not feel too sad but also allows you to see the truth that they were telling us in the story. By using different tones throughout the story that allow us to have some hope and dreams for them, but also not get distracted from the reality that they are living in.
