Anne Bradstreet - American Poet

After reading the biographical information about Anne Bradstreet on page 27, discuss her relationship to being a poet and being a Puritan. How do both titles affect her life? Answer in complete sentences and cite from the article. 
      -she was never supported by in what she wanted to do but she continued to work and do what she wanted to do to make her happy and not to please anybody but herself. She influenced many people because she did what she wanted to do with her life and didnt life off of what somebody else wanted her to be.]]> 2022-08-30 14:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2276309179 Post #4 8/31/22 cassiejacobs https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2279570652 Read Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz's poem "World, in hounding me..." using the link above. 

What is de la Cruz saying about wealth and material possessions? 
-she thinks it is not important. its not what makes her happy or what she would want to make her happy.

Cite the line from the poem that demonstrates that. 
-"Costliness and wealth brings me no pleasure"

Does the information in the video have bias towards or against Kaepernick's stance? Is it neutral? What parts of the video helped you come to that conclusion? 
- I feel as though they were against them because they included less clips of the good and more of the bad things. For example, one person in the video said, "Yes, he is entitled to his own opinion but he is a jerk." Kaepernick stood up for what he thought was right because he is concerned about racism and decided to sit down and refuse to get up during the national anthem and then proceeded to then kneel down. ]]> 2022-09-01 18:48:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2279742990 Post #6 9/6/22 cassiejacobs https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2285190093 Research Phillis Wheatley on your computer. Describe the basic information about her (age, occupation, place of birth, etc.) 
- she became the first American Slave, the first person of African descent, and only the third Colonial American woman to have her work published.
- Her best known poem was, "On bring brought from Africa to America."
- used her poetry to stand out against the inequality that she felt was going on.


Why might Phillis Wheatley's abilities exceed others' expectations of her? How might that impact her life? 
- She was very brave to stand out and fight against the inequality. She learned to learn and educate and others did not. 
- She dealt with the negative and kept fighting.]]> 2022-09-06 18:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2285190093 Post #7 cassiejacobs https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2292958780 Compare the information included in the video & the poem. 
- they both include a lot of emotion even a poem can tell a lot of emotion as it is.
- They both discuss the harsh conditions
- took a toll on a lot of people 

What aspects of the transatlantic slave trade do both perspectives focus on? What is the benefit of viewing each type of information?
- its best to get 2 sides instead of one side because if you see just one thing it may or may not show much feeling. 
- you can also hear the emotion in the video better.

If so, where do you see some examples of it? If not, what are some ways you can tell the creators are striving to remain neutral? 
-I think the video was not really bias because it only stated facts. it did have a quote from Robert E. Lee, after it said a fact but there wasn't really much bias in the video in my opinion.]]> 2022-09-15 18:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2298804397 Post #9 9/19/22 cassiejacobs https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2303384828 For each of the criteria below, highlight the one you identify with the most.

- making bad choices may lead to something bad being brought to you and even if you think nothing will come back something bad will always catch up to you.
Why do you think writers from the Romantic period shifted away from the Puritan-style and began writing about characters who made bad choices?
- could be for the thrill of it and to get more people to read more about the evil because it was more than likely better to read rather than something being written with good intent.]]> 2022-09-26 23:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2314509436 Post #12 cassiejacobs https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2324354679 What is the Unity of Effect?

According to the video, what are Poe's literary contributions? 
- modern day detective stories
What is the irony of Poe's life and career? 
- style of the story was as dark as his own life

- true darkness is the human mind

- to make them suffer and think about what they did was wrong.
Why do you think Poe incorporates the Pendulum in his story? What could this add to the story? 
- it inspired him because pendaleums have very interesting properties. it was said to sound like "a ticking clock."

- Robert Leroy Johnson was an American blues musician and songwriter. Johnson was murdered. he "sold his soul."
How does the myth of Robert Johnson's musical ability compare to the story of Tom Walker?

-a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable
Develop a metaphor to describe something that takes up a lot of your time.
(Ex: My grading paper file is a blazing inferno. It spreads itself to all of the places I exist - my home, my desk, and my inbox. Just when I think I've gotten the blaze down to flame the size of a match, I feel the heat begin to intensify again.)
-Time sure does fly.

-"Through poetry, children find freedom to share that story in a way that feels good and it true to their own deepest selves"  
 -I feel like this quote i can agree and disagree. 
-I agree because some people feel a sort of freedom feeling that they can let go and share their stories." 
-I disagree because poetry isn't popular when it comes to children per say so not a ton of children like to write a lot of poety.
- Some Children or younger adults do enjoy poetry to let loose on how they feel and share their own stories.]]> 2022-10-20 18:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2349553050 Padlet Post #19 cassiejacobs https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2379176683 What seems different about the writing style of William Carlos Williams compared to other poets we've read? 
- he felt americans forgot about the world around them and that their is beauty everywhere you go. no consistent rythym or line. writes more about the beauty in the world around you and it flows.


Do you agree with his message of simplicity in writing? Why or why not?  I agree because I think its very descriptive and its straight to the point about how beautiful the outdoors is.]]> 2022-11-10 19:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2379176683 Post #20 2/2/23 cassiejacobs https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2466660745 when someone refers to their "identity," what do they mean?

showing the workers perspective. they lean towards the female worker in the videos story because she spoke out about it and got more peoples attention

amazon disagrees with Osha. The quote causes more controversy. It seems like a quote was cut out or when someone was talking just so certain things didn't get out.

what implications does this new technology have for farmers? Are the results positive, negative, or both?
- i feel like this is progress in both a positive and negative way for farmers. It moves around the plants and can work as long. A person can't do a lot of what the machine does for the farmers but it changes that people work and makes it to where they just don't work because they depend on the machine to do their work for them.]]> 2023-05-02 18:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2575629110 Post #26 cassiejacobs https://padlet.com/cassiejacobs/ilahzbvn1vsl0moa/wish/2584275774 Choose one of the following articles to read below: 

Answer the following on your Padlet post: 
  1. How does the article you chose relate to the story "The Wretched and the Beautiful"? the article title itself related to "the Wretched and the Beautiful" because its showing how one can look at somebody
  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. "Whether people care about animals is more related to how cute they are than the species’ capacity to think and feel or their harmfulness." in this article it talked about judging whether an animal is harmless and the way it looks based on if its cute or not. The people were too quick to judge the aliens because they were a little different
  3. In your own experience, are the article's findings accurate? Have you ever experienced or witnessed what the article discusses? I have experienced people judging me too quickly and then once they get to know me they think different.

Do you think it's ethical for parents of children in that area to force them to live there? I think parents dont mind because if they have never had a phone, then they probably dont care much about having one so it does benefit them
