  • Watch Day 2’s lecture on "Building Vocabulary."
  • Read the abridged version of Zaidie Smith’s essay, “Dance Lessons for Writers,” which is posted to Day 2’s Module. 
  • Read the Resource page, "On Dictionaries."

    • Complete the following activities on the designated boards:

    *Post one critical comment, and one response to a peer's critical comment. And post one Scavenger Hunt item, and one response on a peer's item. 

    *Your Total: 2 own-posts, and 2 responses. All of these will be on your group’s Daily Activities padlet.

    Optional : Post a question, thought, or comment to your Group Chat padlet; keep the conversation going over there.

    Notes on Responses: 

    If your post used Option 1, your response should address a post that answered Option 2. 

    There are two main learning objectives for peer responses, fyi: one, to give you the chance to learn something from someone else's research, and two, to give your peers the warm feeling that comes with recognition

The word “elusive” is sometimes confused with the word “illusive.” Search the meaning of both words in the dictionary and discuss why, in the context of her full description of Prince’s dancing, she considers Prince’s style “elusive.” Can you find a passage in the text that would support the idea that Prince’s dancing is “elusive”? kristenallen3 https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1689751245

Which words are concrete and which words abstract? For example, expressions like “the knee-bend,” “dance-off,” and “pumped their fists” describe body movements, while terms like “devotion,” “legibility,” “monument” and “control” are more abstract and are meant to capture the meaning of the performances and the ways the dancers project themselves in the scenario. Choose 3 or 4 of your favourite words in the essay, decide whether they are concrete or abstract, and briefly explain the logic of your choice. kristenallen3 https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1689752975 2021-08-22 22:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1689752975 Find an instance, from any online source, when the word “illusive” is used incorrectly; that is, when the context makes it reasonable to assume that the author really meant to say “elusive.” (If you find the same error in reverse, you can post that instead.) kristenallen3 https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1689755395 2021-08-22 22:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1689755395 Though understanding word families really does go a long way, as Paola Bohorquez explained in today’s lecture, there are some examples of single words that are connected to a family but just seem to go their own way (like, you know, some members of human families.)

What is Black English? But the introductory paragraph states that the question itself is problematic. How so? kristenallen3 https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1689785528 2021-08-22 23:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1689785528 Baldwin writes: To open your mouth in England is (if I may use Black English) to "put your business on the street": You have confessed your parents, your youth, your school, you salary, your self-esteem, and, alas, your future." Is Baldwin himself "putting his business on the street"? Why is he choosing to show or reveal himself to his audience when this rhetorical move seems to be so risky? kristenallen3 https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1689786336 2021-08-22 23:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1689786336 DAY 4: To-Dos (Reminders) kristenallen3 https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1689790023

    I come from a science background - we were taught for instance that a single particle can reside at two distinct points in space at the same moment in time - seemingly impossible, but true (to my understanding).
    If one subscribes only to the "doubting" or logical game, one would not be able to accept (I don't think) that the above premise in quantum mechanics is true.]]>     2021-08-23 17:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1691582869     Wenxuan Wang’s annotation https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1691907344 2021-08-23 19:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1691907344 Wenxuan Wang https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1691915726 This epigraph contains the conversation of two different views. It sets up a adversarial relationship between doubting and believing, and introduces the topic of belief and doubt. I anticipated exactly that, and it seems like I was right. The theme seems to be the disproval of the monopoly of the doubting method.]]> 2021-08-23 19:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1691915726 Wenxuan Wang https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1691927761 Logic and analogy seems to be another pair. Different languages were used such as rationality and metaphors, but similar enough.

     These are distinct from doubting and believing as logic doesn’t imply doubt, nor the other way around. You can use logic like dog => mammal without doubting anything. Similar argument with metaphors.]]>     2021-08-23 19:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1691927761     Brian Buchler - Aug. 23 2021 https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1691949392 I thought the author (Elbow) explored the dichotomy between a few different things.

    One is the dichotomy of error and truth.
    In the doubting game, one looks for error.
    In the believing game, one looks for truth.

    According to my understanding of the text, the author also considered the dichotomy between the self looking in from the outside, versus putting oneself into something.
    In the doubting game, one extricates the self, looks in from the outside, applies logic and reason.
    In the believing game, one tries to place oneself in the shoes of the believer; to experience what the believer experiences.

    Finally, I thought the author made a contrast between affirming an idea, and disproving an idea. 
    In the doubting game, we "disprove" an idea (the method frequently used in science).
    In the believing game, when proving an idea might be impossible, we "affirm" a viewpoint (example, on the meaning of a particular text of literature).

    The epigraph supports the author's argument for the believing game. I interpret this as where the Queen is in its position due to the fact that she is more willing to believe and thus ultimately sees more opportunity and truth compared to Alice. ]]>     2021-08-23 21:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692038600     Jiaxiong Huang https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692049978 In page 1  - The author switches topics from explaining doubting to believing. 

    "The believing game also proceeds by indirection." pg. 1 para. 5 

    The signal was introducing the next topic directly in the text. The transition is smooth beacuse it connects to the previous topic by introducing a similarity between them thus creating a sense of continuity.

After reading the whole essay, I noticed that we cannot force anyone to believe or doubt the thing, however, they could attempt to play doubting games or believing games based on their opposite preferences.]]> 2021-08-23 21:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692058004 Patrick https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692063809 "There are people who are particularly good at the doubting game —who can always sense a contradiction ... We see the same thing with the believing game: some individuals are particularly good at being many people, being a chameleon..." ( Elbow P5)

    Elbow firstly talk about the advantage of doubting game, then he smoothly argue about the pro of believing game, because he is going to talk more about believing game on the next part.]]>     2021-08-23 22:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692063809     Patrick https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692069553 I think truths and lies is another comparison. The people who are believing games do not hesitate about assertions, so-called "truth". However, some scientists thought they never really believe anything at all, wich form the Monopoly of the Doubting Game.]]> 2021-08-23 22:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692069553 Crystal Zhu https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692121251 The epigraph describes an argument  between Alice and the Queen, where Alice said it's impossible to believe impossible things, while the Queen insisted on believing the impossible. Since the epigraph is about the debate between believing the possible and the impossibles, I think the following reading is based on this topic as well, where the author may dig deeper into how and why we are encouraged to believe the impossibles. 

    After finishing the reading, I think the epigraph demonstrates the author's agreement on the believing game. Since the main purpose of this essay is to convince the readers to accept the believing game, the epigraph acts as a hook to deliver this message at the very beginning by providing the readers a clearer picture of the debate (on the doubting VS believing game).]]>     2021-08-23 23:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692121251     Crystal Zhu https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692121806 2021-08-23 23:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692121806 Crystal Zhu https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692133789 "It’s true that you can’t force someone to play the believing game. If he doesn’t want to try honestly to believe all assertions, stop arguing, and try to enter into other people’s perceptions and experiences, there is nothing you can do to force him. This is too bad, perhaps. But neither can you force someone to accept the rules of logic and play the doubting game (Elbow, p5)." 

    In this quote, the author states that we should not force others to agree on the believing game. I think this is a shifting point where Elbow introduced a contrast because in the previous paragraphs, he kept talking about the benefits of the believing game and why we should play it, yet now he argues that it is okay to choose to stay away from the game as it's one's free will. ]]>     2021-08-23 23:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692133789     https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1692207377 maybe I should've used different highlighter colours for different things.

Page three before this sentence and the paragraph directly before it was about the doubting game and it's position in the intellectual world, but here Elbow shifts to a discussion about the believing game, and specifically uses a brief description of the "doubting muscle" (which is not mentioned anywhere prior) to shift to a discussion about the "believing muscle" as a means of explaining the believing game in more detail. The transition is smooth primarily because of the way Elbow used the word "muscle" here.

Firstly, as the doubting game is effectively the act of searching for reasons to reject an assertion and the believing game is effectively the act of trying to accept all assertions, this particular contrast (that is, with respect to assertions) is implicitly explored when the doubting and believing games are contrasted. Secondly, Elbow frequently contrasts the accepting or rejection of people from the intellectual world based on their types of reasoning. Third, Elbow also contrasts the accepting or rejection of the believing game by intellectuals.

Alice chose not to believe what seems impossible, but the Queen said she had done a lot of practice believing in these things. Based on the dialogue, the epigraph shows us two different ways of accepting new ideas and I expect the following paragraphs will begin to demonstrate these two points of view.
    Looking at the entire article, I understand the key point of this epigraph, which means to point out the definition of the ‘doubting game’ and ‘believing game’’. Apart from that, there is still a dialectical relationship between these two terms. Therefore, the daily dialogue appears in the epigraph attracting the audience to know the scheme easily and quickly.

After I finished reading the essay, I realized that the epigraph was a literary illustration of the author’s “extended attack” on the monopoly of doubting. Alice has fallen prey to such monopoly and is trapped in the defaulted mindset of searching for errors in the pile of assumptions she’s been given. The technique she’s been practising, in my opinion, does not follow the doubting game precisely either, as she has refused to continue with further examination at once. The Queen, on the other hand, encourages her to heighten her realization by practising the believing game - to involve and associate oneself with the situation at hand. She has also brought up the important point of both games - either doubting or believing - require skills and practice to master, after which will we be able to detect errors and/or verify the truth more efficiently.]]> 2021-08-24 18:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694248187 Tri https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694252578 In the epigraph tells me about the differences between "doubting and believing". Doubting is making more sense to come up with lots of questions and explore to find right answers rather then just believing without judging. Both methods have different rules which are more critical and logical to understand the clear picture of the essay. Doubting and believing is not helpful without acknowledging them. So, intellectual is more make sense to have enough understanding knowledge about doubting and believing. Nothing is possible without trying. ]]> 2021-08-24 19:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694252578 zhenlingwang https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694276915 Self-extrication and self-insertion/involvement is another pair, which is contrasting in both a literal and spatial way; Elbow had also made a distinction between game and life while emphasizing on the social power of the believing game; and lastly, I would most certainly agree with the same point made by previous posts, logic and analogy seems to be an interesting pair. Often we would think of analogy as a mere gateway to simplifying a certain logical concept, but in Elbow’s explanation, logic equates to breaking matters down to their fundamental building blocks, perhaps in the form of symbolic logic; while analogy signifies making personal and practical associations that extend the concept into a complex that’s easier to grasp.

(Elbow, P. 3)
    " Descartes gave us the name “doubting” or “skepticism” for our method. He felt the way to proceed to the truth was to doubt everything. This spirit has remained the central tradition in western civilization’s notion of the rational process. Socrates said the unexamined life is not worth living. Descartes said, in effect, that the undoubted thought is not worth entertaining." (Elbow, p.3)
    Between two quotes, when Socrates turned to myth instead of accepting doubting game, Descartes announced the doubting game is as unpleasant. The author shifted his prior expects by mentioning other two ideas. I came up with this argument because doubting is more judging and looking for truth but not about comparing between myth or unpleasant experience. ]]>     2021-08-24 20:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694407103     Valeriia Beldyk https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694411588 1) elusive: difficult to describe, find, achieve, or remember;

    The author says that Jackson’s dancing style is very recognizable and clear, whilst Prince keeps the mystery, it is hard to grasp what makes Prince’s dancing really his own. For this reason Zadie Smith uses the word “elusive”.

    Passage from the text that supports the idea: Prince’s moves, no matter how many times you may have observed them, have no firm inscription in memory; they never seem quite fixed or preserved. If someone asks you to 
    dance like Prince, what will you do? Spin, possibly, and do the splits, if you’re able. But there won’t appear to be anything especially Prince-like about that. It’s mysterious.

    Zadie Smith choses the word elusive to describe Prince's dance because she thinks his dance style was abstract and unachievable. Prince's dance as being the opposite of legibility, it does not have clear Prince-like movements, and so it is hard for others to imitate the dance as well. For example, Smith states that "[p]rince’s moves, no matter how many times you may have observed them, have no firm inscription in memory; they never seem quite fixed or preserved. ...  But there won’t appear to be anything especially Prince-like about that. It’s mysterious". In this quote, Smith emphasized the fact that it is difficult to detain Prince’s dance in your brain as it does not have a solid archetype. In this sense, illusory is inappropriate since the dance is by no means a misunderstood top-down perception. In contrast, elusive is a better word choice because Prince's dance is indeed uneasy to describe/remember, yet the dance itself still exists as an objective reality. It is elusive simply because of the fact that Prince's dancing style makes it hard to remember his exact movements very clearly. ]]>     2021-08-24 22:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694508307     Crystal Zhu https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694548614 C:
    Based on Etymology Dictionary,
    - Appropriate as a verb was originated in early 15c., where it meant "take possession of, take exclusively", and "to make one's own," from Late Latin appropriatus and adpropriare. Specifically, the Latin word ad refers to "to" (ad- is a prefix, meaning "in relation to" or simply "to"), and the word propriare or proprius means "take as one's own," or "one's own".
    - Appropriately as an adverb is related with its adjective form appropriate. Appropriate was originated from Latin appropriatus in early 15c, meaning "specially suitable, proper". Its past participle was appropriare, meaning "make one's own".

    In the example of "she dressed appropriately", the word appropriately is an adverb, meaning that the way she dressed was accurate and suitable, and perhaps she followed the dress code. 
    In the example of "she appropriated her mother's dress", the word appropriate is a verb, meaning she took her mother's dress for her own use. ]]>     2021-08-24 23:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694548614     xianfeixu https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694556142 It is the first complete paragraph on page 6: “Unnecessary attrition from the doubting game is caused by people who play it without realizing it is a game. One of the most important fruits of this whole investigation of the believing game is the heightened realization that the doubting game is only a game—and it's not the only game.”
    Before this paragraph, Elbow mainly argued that it is important to respect others’ ways of logical thinking and not to force someone into either the doubting game or the believing game, in this The Two Dialectics as Games section.
    Elbow, in this transition paragraph, emphasized that the doubting game is just a game. After that, Elbow illustrated that the believing game is more effective to keep thought exchanges going between people with different views, through an example of various ways to deal with a fellow basketball player starting to break rules of the game. Furthermore, in later paragraphs, Elbow elevated his argument by saying both doubting and believing games are essentially just games, which means that the purpose of such thinking processes is the thinking process itself, instead of aiming to reaching a definitive conclusion at the end.

It seems like the queen is trying to convince Alice to believe her, however Alice is having a hard time believing her and is doubting the queen. In addition, I can anticipate that the reading is going to be comparing both doubting and believing based on the epigraph. After I finished the reading the essay, I was able to see reference of playing the believing game mentioned in the epigraph and understand in detail both sides of the argument.

Elbow gives a brief history of the doubting game and then explains how the doubt has been used as a tool for critical thinking. However, after that he uses the idiom, "waiting for the other shoe to drop" , which shows that he will be discussing belief next as he mentions the words "other shoe" (Elbow 4).

The epigraph intended to introduce us the readers to think about what we mean when we consider something is impossible, and thus refraining from visualising such "impossible" things. Eventually, it allowed us to think about how we judge what is true and what is false. Based on that, I would anticipate that the author would address on how we view and verify truth, along with how to have different thinking patterns.]]> 2021-08-25 00:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694680932 Brian Buchler - Aug. 24, 2021 https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694696859 I must admit I did confuse the meanings of the words "elusive" and "illusive".

    But after looking up their meanings (I needed more than one dictionary), I think I finally understand how the two words differ.

    "Elusive" - 1. hard to express, pin down, or define 
                      eg an elusive concept
                      eg The answers to these questions remain as elusive as ever.
              - 2. hard to achieve           
                      eg Success, however, remained elusive for her.
              - 3. tricky, slippery          
                      eg an elusive felon

    "Illusive" - 1. deceptive, misleading 
                      eg an illusive alibi
               - 2. false, unreal (based on illusion) 
                      eg an illusive reference to ghosts and goblins
                      eg Their hopes of a peaceful solution turned out to be illusory.

    Why is Prince's dancing style is "elusive"? Because his style can't be defined, nor imitated. 
    However his dancing is real (so it not "illusive").

    In contrast, Michael Jackson's dancing can be described almost in a mathematical way, and so can be imitated.

    Zadie Smith in the following two passages I think asserts that Prince's dancing style is elusive:

    "Prince's moves, no matter how many times you may have observed them, have no firm inscription in memory; they never seem quite fixed or preserved."

    "I don't claim Prince's image won't last as long as Jackson's. I only say in our minds it will never be as distinct".

    In reference to Jackson on the other hand, Zadie Smith says: "Every move made was absolutely legible, public, endlessly copied and copyable, like a meme before the word existed."]]>     2021-08-25 00:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694696859     Linh https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694728988 The epigraph suggests an act of manifestation of believing the impossible and the polarization of our doubts.

    I anticipate a similar theme with an in-depth explanation of how individuals perceive the world critically and how our minds process things.

    The essay elaborates on the believing and doubting game, which focuses on the perceptions and experiences and how individuals critically process things as well the choices individuals have to navigate their thoughts and actions.

Prince's style is something you only know if you have seen him perform. This is explicit when Smith mentions, "And now he's gone, having escaped us one more time" (Smith, 2).

The epithet is a dialogue between two individuals where one individual is encouraging the second individual to believe. This foreshadows what the essay is about, the ability to believe. It highlights the main theme of the essay that modern day academics are so far delved into the doubting game that it is hard to believe. Elbow thus encourages individuals to play the believing game as this game is more fruitious or benenficial.

    After reading the article, one can comprehend the connection that Elbow makes between believing, and, doubting. As mentioned above this is foreshadowed in the epithet at the beginning of the article where Alice asserts that she finds it very difficult to believe an assertion made by the Queen. The Queen then claims that she once believed "as many as six possible things before breakfast" indicating the main theme of the essay that modern academics tent to play the doubting game more than they like to play the believing game.

Elbow starts with the phrase "For somehow, the doubting game has gained a monopoly on legitimacy in our culture. I'm not sure how." Elbow then delves into Socratic method, or, Socrates' tendency to rely on the doubting game where Socrates attempts to show that some belief is silly, or, empty, or, contradictory. In doing this, Elbow asserts that Socrates favours the doubting game.

    I think that this subheading reveals a smooth transition from one topic to the next where he begins by asserting his main thesis of the essay, where he is proffering an extended attack on the doubting game. Elbow makes this smooth transition from the previous paragraph where he identifies, and, defines the two different topics, the doubting game, and, the believing game in his introductory paragraphs.

    Elbow makes this smooth transition by creating the sub-heading "The Monopoly of the Doubting Game" in order to indicate to the reading that the focus of his essay is changing, and, then asserts the main thesis of his essay, an extended attack on the doubting game, and, then provides evidences, and, examples of how dominant the doubting game is in modern culture before beginning his attack on the doubting game, and, proffering his support for the believing game.]]>     2021-08-25 01:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694832910     Brian Buchler - Aug. 24, 2021 https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1694854690 I found this on a cbsnews website:

    The epigraph suggests trying to believe impossible things.

    The first instance of "draw" here has a meaning related to its gerund ("drawing" as in its gerund would be the act of drawing, while a "drawing" as used above would be the result of drawing, where the respective meanings of drawing here are identical). The second instance of "draw" here has a meaning of "draw" unrelated to the meaning associated with the usage of "drawing" earlier in the sentence.

    From https://www.etymonline.com/word/draw, one may observe that the original meaning of "draw" was the one used in the second instance above, and that the definition of "draw" that gave rise to the noun "drawing" as used in the first instance was derived from the concept of ""drawing" a pencil across paper," which is really interesting. As for how the gerund is used as a noun with a different but very closely related meaning, I'm pretty sure that's not an uncommon pattern in English (after all, we have "painting," "building," "filling," etc).]]>     2021-08-25 03:12:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1695112272     Mohamed Zuhair - Day 2 - Critical Comment #1 mohamedzzuhair7 https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1695134197 The word elusive in the dictionary means "difficult to remember or recall" whereas the word illusive means "deceptive, or, illusory." Smith argues that Prince's dancing is elusive in the sense that people tend to forget, or, have no recollection of any of Prince's dance moves compared to Michael Jackson whose dance moves are mimicked by everyone. The passage that "it is very hard to bring to mind Prince dancing, whereas it is practically impossible to forget Jackson" beautifully describes how Prince's dancing is elusive.

    Illusive means based on or producing illusion  (illusory, deceptive). 

    The author has always described Prince's dancing style as one that no matter how much we observe the dances, we can never create a distinct memory of it in our heads. Its a type of dance where every time someone says "do a Prince-style dance", people get confused as to what to do. Is it spinning, twirling, or jumping? Prince's dancing style is very mysterious and it never seems fixed. This is clearly elusive. The dance is difficult to remember or recall. 

    An excerpt from the passage that supports the idea that Prince's dancing is elusive can be found in this following sentences: 
    1) Yet Prince and Jackson are nothing alike when they dance, and it’s 
    very hard to bring to mind 
    Prince dancing, whereas it is practically impossible to forget Jackson. 
    2) But there won’t appear to be anything especially Prince- like about that. It’s mysterious.

Prince known as "precious" person and "posses of deeper beauty". He is inspirator by showing his mysterious dancing skills. Illusive refers to illusion (such as images, fantasise, thoughts, mirage, etc). 

    "If someone asks you to dance like Prince, what will you do? Spin, possibly, and do the splits, if you’re able. But there 
    won’t appear to be anything especially Prince like about that. It’s mysterious." So, Prince is blessed by his mysterious dancing skills.

This is a concise way of describing Jackson's dance as it is always executed precisely in a consistent fashion. Furthermore, “legible” is a great way to convey the idea that Jackson has deliberately shown his moves in a copyable fashion. Thus, it is quite reasonable for Smith to use "public", following “legible”, to describe Jackson’s dance: it is not only that Jackson, as the one of the greatest dancers, performed publicly, but also that Jackson has constructed his show like some sort of dancing tutorials which people can understand without efforts.
    In contrast, "like a cop drawing a chalk line round a body" would be an example of a concrete description of Michael Jackson's moves, despite being like a comparison or a metaphor. These words alone allow one to visualise Jackson’s edge-marking moves after each dance move and it does not require much detailed interpretation to understand what Smith is trying to picture for us.

Prince's dance was not "illusive" - his styles could have been easily decoded and traced back to someone else (the legendary James Brown), there was nothing mysterious or deceptive about it. On the opposite, Prince's dance was "elusive" - every single move he brings out is unique and impossible to reproduce ever again; the energy, emotions, and originality he injects into his dance style is difficult for viewers to capture or to recall.

    The following passage supports the idea that Prince's dancing is "elusive": "Prince’s moves, no matter how many times you may have observed them, have no firm inscription in memory; they never seem quite fixed or preserved. If someone asks you to dance like Prince, what will you do? Spin, possibly, and do the splits, if you’re able. But there won’t appear to be anything especially Prince-like about that.

    Illusive means something is not real, like a dream, and people may not get it.
    Prince got ‘elusive’ for his dancing because Prince will change his movement and mood every time, and he has his unique understanding of every music he heard, every movement he comes up with, and every mood he had before the show started.

    Word: address
    Example:
    1). His address remains unknown.
    2). He addressed a business conference.
    “Address” in Ex.1 is a noun and means a place where someone lives or an organization is situated. “Addressed” in Ex.2 is a verb in its past tense, and it means speaking to (a person or an assembly) in a formal manner.
    “Address” was first used as a verb in the early 14th century, meaning “to guide, aim, or direct”, and was originated from Old French and Vulgar Latin. This oldest meaning is preserved in contemporary English as the phrase “address the ball” in golf. The most common meaning of “address”, to direct spoken words (to someone), was emerged in the late 15th century. Interestingly, the Latinized spelling add- is kept in Modern English, but lost in Modern French (adresser).
    The usage of “address” as a noun was first emerged in the 1530s, meaning "dutiful or courteous approach". It gained the meaning of "formal speech to an audience" in 1751 from its verb form. And the sense of "guidance of a letter’s destination", i.e. the superscription of a letter, was adopted in 1712, which eventually evolved into its modern usage as representing "place of residence".

Alice represents the doubting game as she says "I can't believe that" and "One can't believe impossible things", and it shows how one type of thinking works. On the other hand, Queen represents the believing game as she says "..sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast". Thus, I thought the reading must be about how people interpret things.

    After reading the essay, I realized that the epigraph demonstrates the two main ideas discussed in the reading: believing game and doubting game. Just like what I anticipated, I think the queen represents how people seek the truth using the believing game and Alice represents how people seek truth using the doubting game.

    Illusive- Deceptive; Illusory

    Explanation: Smith describes that Princes' moves are mysterious and challenging to achieve, and although they seem simple, his moves are that of the elusiveness of beauty.

    "No matter how many times you may have observed them, Prince's moves have no firm inscription in memory; they never seem quite fixed or preserved. If someone asks you to dance like Prince, what will you do? Spin, possibly, and do the splits, if you're able. But there won't appear to be anything especially Prince-like about that. It's mysterious"  (p,2)

Susanto https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1696413243 The word elusive is an adjective which means "difficult to catch" or "difficult to remember". It also contains a similar meaning to subtle, indefinable, and intangible.

    The word illusive, on the other hand, relates strongly with illusion. The word means producing, produced by, based by illusion.

    Why does "elusive" used inside the passage? Notice how the writer describes Prince's dancing in the passage. She repeatedly describes Prince's move to be easily forgotten, illegible, and only known by a few (his fans). She also describes how Prince's performance changes with the mood/atmosphere of the performance. She noted how everyone might see him dance but never understand what Prince want to convey.

    Therefore, I think the word "elusive" is the best fit for this condition. Notice that, throughout the passage, Prince's dancing is never related to illusion. His dance does not play tricks or to show something different than it should be. It does not fool anyone, unlike a magician who performs his tricks. You could see his dance, but they are subtle. His dance does not deliver such an impact or message which caused it to be hard to remember and hard to be comprehended. Hence, in my opinion, that's why the author chose the word "elusive" to describe Prince's dancing/performance.]]>     2021-08-25 16:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1696413243     Linh https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1696430415 Incorrect: "Sharks up to forty feet are quite common, although they proved to be illusive when Helen was there."

    This passage and the previous example of France triggered my memory of how this persisted through history and another example is English itself. We can understand the strength of the British Empire from history simply by examining today’s world. Many of its previous colonies now adopted the English language simply due to being taken over by British Empire. Even within its own people, phrases and terms differed by status and class in their society which reflects the difference in reality they live in among the same country. I believe this draws parallels to the division in North America between Blacks and Whites in history as indicated by the author.

    Some may argue black English is invalid, since it stems from a lack of "formal education" on mainstream American English, but based on this line, one could question what form of education places the validity of a dialect, if it does at all. Black Americans did not receive sufficient enough education to learn and adapt mainstream white American dialect, but does that mean the dialect is invalid based on Baldwin's explanation of language.

Though this form of dialog generally harms your credibility in most academic discourse, Baldwin in this instance is reinforcing his claim as he is specially arguing the validity of this form of dialog.

Baldwin demonstrates that Black English is not a dialect and is deeply rooted in American history and how language evolves and has notably influenced the role of language within society. Language is not static but is open to change. He then proceeds to pose the statement, " Now, I do not know what white Americans would sound like if there had never been any black people in the United States, but they would not sound the way they sound." (p,2). Baldwin provides an example of the term "jazz" within the black community. It was coined as a sexual term. However, this word vibrated and has been utilized, linking it to a specific period, the Jazz Age era (p,2). He then reveals that language provides insight and is consequential to the speaker, which describes and controls the circumstances confronted in life. As noted by Baldwin, language is not despised, but it is the experience. Here he uses the example of slavery and how these brutal conditions constructed Black English " A language comes into existence employing brutal necessity, and the rules of the language are dictated by what the language must convey." (p,2). Thus, the question is problematic because the Black English language has been defined and misrepresented and, importantly, unacknowledged of its role in the American language.

    This quote reminds me the concept of language standardization, where it refers to the process of which a transitional, formal and conventional language is created and being used by the majority. In this case, after mainstream English was established and  used by a large proportion of people (especially the Whites), urbanization and standardized educations helped to normalize mainstream English in the white dominant culture. Therefore, it further marginalized  Black English, changing it into a dialect at the same time. Language limits people's experience in a way that the Blacks must speak mainstream English and they fail to get exposed or know their own culture in a Black-English-speaking environment. ]]>     2021-08-26 02:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1697343745     Kaylin Audrey Tanoto https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1697387245 "There was a moment, in time, and in this place, when my brother, or my mother, or my

    language, that the white man could not possibly understand, and that, indeed, he cannot understand, until today. He cannot afford to understand it. This understanding would reveal to him too much about himself, and smash that mirror before which he has been frozen for so long." 

    This paragraph summarizes the whole passage in a way that it explains why the author thinks that Black English should be considered a language. 

    The author uses Black English to protect himself from the white Americans he considers harmful and the fact that the White American does not understand the language the author is using to speak to his family, Black English is considered a separate language.

    The author also added the statement "If this absolutely unprecedented journey does not indicate that black English is a language, I am curious to know what definition of 
    language is to be trusted." 

    Here, the author is saying that the Black Americans do not need anyone's verification or confirmation to have Black English considered a language. The author feels that the result of journey the Black Americans have (creating a language from brutal necessity) should be credited in a way that Black English should be considered and accepted as a separate language.

    However, his main point isn't just about Black English being considered a separate language.

If anything, the first paragraph is basically saying that the title is just a hook and is not even the main point of the text. It basically implies that the main point of the text is the role of black English.

    What really set me off when reading this text was the fact that the author's definition of language was so different and unusual to me that I couldn't understand anything he was saying (that is, until I read a bunch of the other student's responses). I understand a language simply as a means of communication, no strings attached. However, Baldwin clearly views language as something with a convoluted network of connections to numerous other aspects of society.

    I think the title is not problematic at all if language is clearly defined, but Baldwin seems to have a definition in mind that he doesn't actually spell out in the text, since he expects the reader to either already have the definition he has or to have a concept in mind which either agrees with his definition or is vague enough to import aspects of his definition as the reader absorbs the text. I don't. If anything, this makes the text itself what is problematic, not the title.

    Before proceeding with the text, I first tried to understand what constitutes a language.
    According to Wikipedia, "language is a structured system of communication used by humans, based on speech or gesture (spoken language), sign, or often writing."
    I then tried to find out more about the author, and what other scholars had to say. I came across a paper entitled "Influencing Future Teachers' Attitudes Toward Black English: Are We Making A Difference?" (by Bowie and Bond, 1994). Unfortunately the paper is behind a paywall, but the preview had the following to say:

    "By the mid to late sixties, linguists began demonstrating that speakers of Black English use a legitimate, rule governed and fully developed dialect (Labov, 1967; McDavid, 1964; Shuy, 1969), thus refuting the Deficit Theory. In what has become the prevailing view of linguists and educators (Labov, 1985; Ford, 1978; Smitherman, 1983), researchers in the seventies found black English speakers highly competent language users when speaking in their vernacular and in some degree of control over the situations in which they find themselves."

    I was fully expecting Baldwin to make an argument along those lines.

    But Baldwin says in the very first paragraph (actually the first two sentences of the essay): "The argument concerning the use, or the status, or the reality, of black English is rooted in American history and has absolutely nothing to do with the question the argument supposes itself to be posing. The argument has nothing to do with language itself but the role of language".

    In other words, whether black English is a language has nothing to due with whether it is structured, or follows certain rules (according to the Wikipedia definition of language).
    The problem, as Baldwin sees it, is that black English is not recognized as a language because doing so would empower the speakers of the language; recognizing black English would recognizing the "black experience" in America.

    As Baldwin sees it (and to be honest, I have to agree), whites in America wish to maintain their suppression of the black community; and one way to do this is to suppress the language of the black community. It has nothing to do with linguistics.

    Baldwin writes: "What joins all languages, and all men, is the necessity to confront life, in order, not inconceivably, to outwit death..."
    When a language dies, its people die. Language is a tool for survival of a people. 

    Baldwin writes: "People evolve a language in order to describe and thus control their circumstances..." 
    Recognizing black English would empower the black community, thereby risking the continued suppression of black Americans by white America.

    The most powerful statement for me occurs in the second to last paragraph:
    "It is not the black child's language that is in question, it is not his language that is despised: It is his experience."
    Whites cannot, as Baldwin sees it (once more, I must agree with his viewpoint), render legitimacy to black English, because that would legitimize the "black experience".

    One final note: this essay resonated with me a lot, in the context of the history of Canada's residential school system. In a way quite similar to the US, Canada hoped to suppress the indigenous peoples's experience in Canada, by suppressing their language.

It suggests that using Black English reveals one's background, identity, belonging to specific community, and experiences that belong to not only the person, but also are particular trauma of a group of people. 
    I think Baldwin really puts himself in the street, since he publicly declares his intention  and determination to protect the fair position that Black English deserves in English history. ]]>     2021-08-26 05:21:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1697804625     xianfeixu https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1697804952 "…language is also a political instrument, means, and proof of power. It is the most vivid and crucial key to identify: It reveals the private identity, and connects one with, or divorces one from, the larger, public, or communal identity."
    I believe this is one of the most important reasons why Baldwin argued that Black English should be called as a “language”, not a mere “dialect”: this language is the direct product, and thus, the symbol of the history of slavery and of discrimination in America. From a pure linguistic perspective, it might be true that Black English is a dialect. However, Baldwin was not writing an academic article in linguistics, he was trying to reveal the systematic ignorance towards the black culture and the history behind, and the intentional denial of education for black children which eventually deprive them of their future.

However, the author's real aim is to reveal the unrecognized identity of Black Americans. The author believes that "language is also a political instrument, means, and proof of power", and it's the "most vivid and crucial key to identify" (Para 4). This shows that the author believes that a language actually represents the social background of the speaker.

    For me to understand the essay, I thought I needed to better understand what constitutes a "language"; i.e., how is language defined.
    I got a definition of language from Wikipedia, which is reflected in one of my annotations.

    I also thought I needed to better understand what is "black English", and whether linguists today think that "black English" is a true language. 
    I found an interesting paper by Robert L. Bowie and Carole l. Bond, 1994, entitled "Influencing Future Teachers' Attitudes toward Black English: Are We Making a Difference?".

    The paper unfortunately is behind a paywall; but the preview page did divulge the following text:

    "By the mid to late sixties, linguists began demonstrating that speakers of Black English use a legitimate, rule governed and fully developed dialect (Labov, 1967; McDavid, 1964; Shuy, 1969), thus refuting the Deficit Theory. In what has become the prevailing view of linguists and educators (Labov, 1985; Ford, 1978; Smitherman, 1983), researchers in the seventies found black English speakers highly competent language users when speaking in their vernacular and in some degree of control over the situations in which they find themselves." 

    Deficit Theory, from the preview page:
    "Deficit Theory: because children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds lacked verbal stimulation in their homes, they were not afforded the linguistic resources necessary to language success."

    That paper, based on the preview, does suggest that linguists do see structure and rules inside "black English", therfore meriting that it be recognized as a "language".

    The paper helped me to understand Baldwin's argument: Black English is not recognized as a language, not because black English lacks any essential characteristics of language, but because white America desires to maintain their oppression of black America; recognizing black English as a language could empower the black community, reversing their oppression.

    ]]>     2021-08-26 06:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1697914583     xianfeixu https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1697918501 Baldwin tried to demonstrate how our identity, or literally many of our backgrounds, gets revealed inadvertently through our language in the paragraph. The example of the various regional dialects and sub-dialects of English in England is exactly the case. And Baldwin also revealed such disclosure by our language actually makes the language political and powerful. So it is important for Baldwin to urge the importance of viewing Black English as a “language”, not a mere “dialect”: Not in linguistics context but in the social context. And such recognition of Black English would be a recognition of the history of slavery and of discrimination against Black people in America.
    Therefore, it is important for Baldwin to reveal himself by using the phrase “putting his business on the street”: His Black English is a pride for him - black pride. One needs to hide your identity only if one is not proud of that identity or one is faced with suppression and discrimination against such identity. Baldwin showcased his Black English just to support his claim that Black English should be viewed as a language.

"The argument has nothing to do with language itself but with the role of language."

After a long history of Black Americans being disapproved of, maltreated, and unrecognized by white Americans, their language is now also being victimized.

    Baldwin cleverly sets up a "problematic" question in the essay title, while his explanation in the introductory paragraph smoothly shifts the focus from the Black language - undoubtedly one of the most significant symbols of a culture and a community - and provides an interesting gateway to the topic of greater significance, and that is, the spiritual denial that European colonizers and white supremacists continue to uphold. The lack of recognition that Black English receives merely gives a glimpse of the unjust treatment that Black Americans continue to undergo.

     "Putting his business on the street" is a metaphor that tells me about his experience about discrimination in England. Black English is English that Black people speak. Black English is not important in white society. It is shameful and embarrassing for Baldwin to share his discriminatory experience with parents, youth friends, in school with teachers and colleagues. And he worries about his future even. What Baldwin has to tell the future generation about the past and his ancestors? Nothing! It is because his face is black.

Using the term, gnaritas nullius, meaning no one’s knowledge, Younging expresses how Western people remain ignorant of the Indigenous history of common activities such as kayaking, bungee jumping and surfing  (Younging). Younging then draws attention to the Customary Law that should be protecting the Indgenous claims but has not taken action to dispute the Western idea that the activities are also theirs (Younging). Similar to the Western colonization of Indigenous territories, Younging writes that Indigenous knowledge has also been colonized, which could be stopped if the West accepted that knowledge can not be labelled as universal or have to fit under the West’s values and beliefs (Younging).

To relate to his previous points on the power of language being a political instrument, I believe Baldwin is also actively manifesting his "private identity" while publicly inviting the rest of his larger community to connect and to partake in similar defence of their language. ]]> 2021-08-26 19:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1699123153 zhenlingwang https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1699148582 "A language comes into existence by means of brutal necessity, and the rules of the language are dictated by what the language must convey."

    These words touched me most deeply throughout the entire essay. Personally a lover of world history, my most direct source of information - classes and textbooks - had taught me to understand language as a byproduct of social development. The creation and variation of languages we have nowadays had always been regarded as an extraordinary advancement in the history of human existence; even those that we hadn't been able to preserve, are still seen as linguistic veterans that contributed to the development of today's newer generations of languages. But Baldwin had taken on a much more realistic view on the creation of languages, specifically the Black English: words are not put together to convey messages of happiness and joy, but cries for help and forgiveness; the speakers of this language long to connect with each other yet dread to be heard and understood by those outside of their group. This is the first time I have ever learnt of, heart-breakingly, the protective power of language. For those who are interested in learning more about the lives of enslaved Black people travelling to the US, I would recommend the book "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano".

Long after the supposedly historical colonization of Indigenous lands, Younging notes that indigenous knowledge has been annexed in a similar mindset in today's society, despite the community's ongoing efforts to protect their physical and intellectual property ownership under Customary Law. Followers of liberal ideals of freedom and equality declare traditional Indigenous practices as "no one's knowledge" and had made TK publicly accessible, while ironically, indistinguishable from western knowledge (p. 133).

    What the West has failed to understand, Younging argues, is that indigenous traditional knowledge, like every other culture's own knowledge, is founded on a system of values and interpretations different from that of Western culture. As a result, knowledge of the same sort may be assigned different significance across different cultures, yet stands valid in their own way and does not need to conform to any other epistemologies (p. 132). It is irrational, therefore, according to Dr. Younging, to measure the Indigenous knowledge system against, let alone adapt the Indigenous knowledge system to, the standards of the Western world (p. 132).

    Younging lists "canoes and kayak design, bungee jumping, snowshoes, lacross, surfing,,,," as examples of Indigenous knowledge and technology appropriated by European colonizers. 

    Colonization has done this by placing Indigenous thought, culture, and knowledge in the "public domain". Indigenous peoples have protested this appropriation of their ingenuity developed over the millennia to no avail.

    Younging does not see a correction of this injustice any time soon, because Western thought holds that all knowledge, regardless of origin, should be freely accessible across cultures. The problem is that Indigenous knowledge has a different role and follows different rules in their epistemology, compared with that of Western epistemological systems.

Through colonization, Western people have exploited and claimed Indigenous institutions and possessions as their own through the practices and derivation from Indigenous knowledge of canoe, kayak design, lacrosse, bungee jumping, sustainable development, and snowshoes (Younging, 132). Despite the acknowledgement and recognition of ownership and the legacies of the First People and breach of Customary Law, the challenges that colonialism forges and elicit a misinterpretation, misrepresentation and dilution of knowledge within the cultures of the Indigenous knowledge system (Younging, 132). Thus, not all knowledge can be universally accessed and authentically fit into Western paradigms (Younging, 132).

In the essay, he claimed that during the process of "terra nullius", the Western society not only took lands from the Indigenous people, but more importantly, they deprived the Indigenous people of their own knowledge and "embraced as their own" (p.132). As a result, the Indigenous population's rights were intensively violated as a direct result of Western colonization. In addition, Indigenous claims of ownership and breach of Customary Law has already strived  for Indigenous rights, yet they failed to realize that Indigenous knowledge is actually a different concept, and that it should never be considered as a type of "knowledge that can be universally accessed" (p.132).

As a result, indigenous knowledge has been allocated to western wisdom. Example of this includes manufacturing of kayak, snowshoes and many more that been clamed by western people as their own with out giving credit to its original source despite indigenous claims of ownership.

    The problem arises when public domain advocates force the liberal ideas of freedom on indigenous knowledge systems by viewing them as the same notion of knowledge across cultures. The Author explains that firstly, all knowledge does not have the same position and importance within diverse epistemologies; secondly, not every different perspectives includes a concept that knowledge can be obtained universally; and thirdly, all knowledge can not fit into western model and judicial systems.(Younging, 2018)

    The western world's colonization processes involved using Indigenous knowledge of daily activities and making it their own, without any consideration, similar to what was done with Indigenous land. This is an issue because liberal ideas of freedom and equality are imposed onto Indigenous knowledge systems but not onto other knowledge systems. Nevertheless, Indigenous people continue to fight for their rights over their knowledge daily.

    The west has never once credited the Indigenous community of the things the westerners now enjoy in terms of arts, sports, lifestyle and so on. Lacrosse and surfing, for example, which are sports first established and found by the Indigenous people, now "belong" to the west. 

    Customary law is ignored in the west and colonization is still condoned. The westerners think that knowledges and cultures belonging to the ones they colonize must be under the West's jurisdiction. Hence, items authentic to the Indigenous community were never appreciated as coming from the Indigenous people and there is nothing they can do while under the West's colonization. ]]>     2021-08-27 04:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1700162164     Paraphrase by Mengzhen Hao https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1700293112 In Gregory Younging's essay Gnaritas Nullius, he reveals Western people's blatant invasion of Indigenous People's possessions. According to Gregory, besides land properties, many Indigenous intellectual properties, including transportation tools and sports instruments, have all been occupied by the Western colonizers based on gnaritas nullius, and integrated into the Western culture without acknowledgement to Indigenous intellect, despite Indigenous People's denunciation of the violation of Customary Law. Gregory also points out that the issue to notice in this colonization process is that the Western people just transplant their perspectives of culture onto Indigenous knowledge, treating it with the same sets of rules that are sued elsewhere. However, the colonizers have omitted the fact that not all cultural and knowledge forms can be incorporated together to form a harmonious entity, nor does the Indigenous culture completely fuses with the Western one. The truth is that different cultures always diversify in their importance and functions within a big range of cultural landscape.

Western people now think of indigenous knowledge as their own knowledge without recognizing it. Moreover, knowledge plays a different role in different cultures so indigenous knowledge doesn't necessarily fit into western culture and western knowledge does not necessarily fit into indigenous knowledge. So the author argues that Intellectual property law is a European idea and does not apply to indigenous culture. Therefore, indigenous people are trying to keep pursuing the acknowledgment of their own indigenous knowledge. ]]> 2021-08-27 06:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1700342568 Linying Bao linyingbao https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1700377111 In the book Elements of Indigenous Style, Younging discusses the "Gnaritas Nullius (No One's Knowledge)" of the indigenous territory. Western people come to notice the indigenous culture through language.  However, western people take  Indigenous language, Indigenous institutions as their own culture for granted just like invading Indigenous land--from "terra nullius" to "gnaritas nullius"( Younging, 2018, P. 132). This phenomenon has caused the fight of the Idigenous for their own culture. Indigenous knowledge system is unique and special, any regime cannot see this as inferior.  After all, all langauges are different, thus, they cannot have a specfic boundary in terms of the belongings. ]]> 2021-08-27 07:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1700377111 lulusheng https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1700413179 Indigenous territories have been treated as terra nullius in the process of colonization. Similarly, the IPR system has regarded TK as gnaritas nullius, which also makes it into western public knowledge. Apart from that, items belonging to indigenous people have been colonized such as local institutions, private possessions and unique indigenous culture. For example, western people embraced many designs developed by indigenous people, such as surfing, snowshoes, and bungee jumping, but the western world did not admit where they get the source. However, it is not a good idea to incorporate indigenous knowledge into western public knowledge. Local knowledge has a different significance and role from western domain culture and also cannot provide useful principles to all human beings all over the world.]]> 2021-08-27 07:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1700413179 Lynn Li https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1700415351 TK is treated by the INTELLECTUAL property regime as Gnaritas Nullius, meaning nobody knows. This suggests that it was placed in the public domain along with Western knowledge, just as colonized lands were treated as ownerless in the process. In fact, as the land was colonized, indigenous knowledge was also colonized. The Western nations took this acquired indigenous knowledge as their own and refused to acknowledge it as their original attribution. This knowledge actually exists in the form of canoe and kayak design, bungee jumping, uggs, lacrosse, surfing and sustainability. It took place despite widespread belief among the indigenous population that the practice violated ownership rights and customary law. Yet concepts of freedom and equality are imposed on indigenous knowledge systems because advocates of the public domain of knowledge believe that all knowledge systems have the same understanding of the concept of "knowledge". This is wrong because knowledge has different roles and meanings in different epistemologies. And different world views do not agree that knowledge is universally available. At the same time, it is impossible for all knowledge to conform to western ways and legal systems.]]> 2021-08-27 07:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1700415351 Tri https://padlet.com/kristenallen3/a2c06h7r22c4gb5d/wish/1700687370 A well written book “Elements of Indigenous Stye” by Younging.

    A1. Elbow shifts from fairly mentioning both upsides and downsides to of the ‘believing game’ and ‘doubting game’ to arguing how the doubting game has an unfair amount of attention and admiration. This change begins with a phrase, “In a sense this essay is an extended attack on the doubting game,” (Elbow, 2) indicating his offensive stance towards it. 
     
    A2. Elbow created a smooth transition between subtopics in the first few sentenses of ‘The Two Dialectics as Games.’ For instance he starts with how it is impossible to force someone to participate in the ‘believing game’ and the same senario applies to the ‘doubting game.’ This comparison creates fairness as unlike the previous ‘The Believing Muscle’ excerpt as Elbow equally discusses their similarities and differences along with a simple real-life example. Moreover, he makes this change of the flow possible using the the phrase, “But neither can you…” (5) sharing the other side of his argument.

Alongside their land, Indigenous knowledge was not given its rightful credit to Indigenous peoples, but rather viewed as knowledge voluntarily placed for the public. Then, due to colonization, the information fell into the hands of western information.
     
    Though freely providing Indigenous knowledge to the public may seem beneficial, there is a high risk of miss or improper representation under a western system. Some information may not play a significant role in diverse cultures compared to Indigenous societies, and others may not follow western customs and laws.

    A1. According to Oxford Learner’s Dictionary, ‘Elusive’ means difficult to find, define, or achieve. While ‘Illusive’ means not real although seeming to be. 

    A2. In the reading, Smith mentions that even though Prince who was as as popular as Micheal Jackson, many considered his dancing was ‘elusive’. The author explains this phenomenon as she quoted, “[Prince’s] greatness was confined to the moment in which it was happening (2). In other words, Prince’s performances worked the same way as (sleeping) dreams, in which while when we are asleep we can be in the moment and enjoy it, when we wake up from them, we can not capture what was happening there.

    A1. C. She dressed appropriately.
    She appropriated her mother’s dress.
     
    A2. The origin of appropriate (verb) goes back to the 15th Century in Late Latin where a word, meaning appropriate, “Appropriatus” was used. Its past participle “adpropriare” consisted of two parts, ‘ad’ meaning to and ‘propriare’ meaning take ones own.

    While appropriately (adverb) is made up of ‘appropriate’ (adjective) and a suffix ‘-ly’ meaning to act in a such way indicated by the adjective. The word appropriate originated in the 15th Century and came from a Latin word Appropriatus’s other past participle “appropriare.” This verb can be translated as make one’s own.
