American Lit./Comp. 11 by Charity Seeley https://padlet.com/charityseeley/e8jm6k7y9on8dast Fall 2022 en-us 2022-08-24 18:22:27 UTC 2026-03-22 00:39:33 UTC hello@padlet.com charityseeley https://padlet.com/charityseeley/e8jm6k7y9on8dast/wish/2270498802 1) After reading "The Sun Still Rises in the Same Sky: Native American Literature" (p.23) by Joseph Bruchac, identify three comparisons Bruchac makes between American Indian and Western views of the world. 
- The literatures aren't treated with the same respect as Western or European lit. 
- American Indian literature reflects a view of the natural world that is more inclusive, compared to Western literature.
- Native American cultures use stories to teach moral lessons

2) What values can we assume some Native Americans had based on this myth?
- They value were they came from and how they came to be

3) Based on our knowledge of Puritans, would the Native American tribes who told this story agree or disagree with the Puritans? Why?
- I think they would agree, because they talked about how someone was sent by a being to make they world a better place.]]> 2022-08-24 18:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/charityseeley/e8jm6k7y9on8dast/wish/2270498802 Post #2: 8/26/22 charityseeley https://padlet.com/charityseeley/e8jm6k7y9on8dast/wish/2272984538 The video gave more of a timeline so watchers could see how long the fight really was.

Why or why not? 
    - The got multiple sides of the story by using many different peoples stories. So no,  don't think there was a bias.


    What motive could this publication company (NBC) have for publishing this story? 
    - to expose what really goes on in large factories.

    What information, if any, is left out or not addressed adequately? 
    - They only spoke to employees with. negative experiences, so we are missing that element.

    Based on what you've seen in the video, decide whether or not this is progress. Why or why not? 
    - Yes this is because the conditions that the plants grow in are the same all year we benefit. They also don't have to stop working.

    What implications does this new technology have for farmers? Are the effects positive, negative, or both?
    - It takes away from farmers and their opportunities.

    1. How does the article you chose relate to the story "The Wretched and the Beautiful"? 
    - I chose article one and I believe it relates to the other because it goes over how people react to new things happening in their lives. The article describes why people react the way they did to the aliens.

    2. What findings discussed in the article are similar to what is discussed in the story? Cite a piece of evidence from the article to support your answer. 
    - the article explains what effects can happen to people. Hollinger writes, "In an insecure, frightening world, they may be a source of fear, envy, and rage, potential dangers..." This describes the fear of the people around the "new."

    3. In your own experience, are the article's findings accurate? Have you ever experienced or witnessed what the article discusses?
    -I believe the article is 100% valid because people are almost hardwired to react to change, whether that is positively or negatively. Personally, I am a perfectionist, and when things change, I am more likely to react poorly.

    - No, I think its convinient for us to have technology in case of emergencies and that gives me comfort.

    Do you think it's ethical for parents of children in that area to force them to live there? 
    - Maybe, there's nothing technically wrong with raising your kids the way you want to, I think it would maybe benefit them a little bit. If they grew u like that from the beginning it would be just like normal life to them. However, they would be set behind everyone else when they grew up.

    What benefits and/or detriments does this kind of community offer?
    - Its quiet, people are more connected. However, the second they leave that situation, they will be behind.]]>     2023-05-18 15:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/charityseeley/e8jm6k7y9on8dast/wish/2596406992
