I think that it is pretty heavy on the native american side out the argument because they didn't have clips of anyone who defended the name of the team. I think in the future that they should have to have some many signatures to get a brand changed

They were calling her the best poet ever and bring her up but as a Puritan they believed that everyone is the same. They were trying to see if she was actually that good. Anne only decide to write for the rest of her life when Cotton Mather praised her work.

I think a daily habit that will help a person be happier is waking up early and getting a workout in. I think just waking up early can lead to being happier and more successful. I think this because I always feel better when I wake up early compared to later in the day. A workout could help in the morning to get active and you'll feel better about your self if you get that workout in.

Intuition vs. Analysis
Spontaneity vs. Education
Honesty vs. Politeness
Idealism vs. Realism

What does this video show us about the depiction of the devil throughout literature?
He was a man who got kick out of heaven and became saten because he would rather rule hell then be in heaven.
Why do you think writers from the Romantic period shifted away from the Puritan style of morally good characters and began writing about characters who made bad choices?
Because they were into darker story's so it might have been read by more people then before.

According to the video, what is a metaphor?
talk about one thing but mean something else.
What does it mean to use an extended metaphor?
goes over multiple years
Develop a metaphor to describe something that takes up a lot of your time. Try to describe it using imagery (sense, touch, smell, taste, or sound). Football is a 24/7 thing. It feels like this because its what everyone has been talk, think, and doing all season.

Describe the differences in the way these two photos depict their subjects.
1) she looks more serious has a more modest outfit on it looks like the a more realistic with the lighting it a more natural pose
2) looks happy and is smiling he is wearing a romantic outfit on the light is coming from everywhere she is posed like she know its being painted
Based on what you know about Romanticism, what Romantic elements can you find in this painting?
her outfit is not a everyday outfit and the lighting looks like she is in a studio lighting
What might be one defining difference between Realism and Romanticism when related to art?

Realism is more like not posing for a picture it is like in the moment. Romanticism is like being posed for the picture and trying to look your best.

We've discussed some ways that literature and art were changed as a result of WWI, but how were families impacted? Women go into the work force in 1930 there were more time in school. other courses were offered in schools
What positive changes resulted for people? more kids in school collage became a option for women.
Were there any negative results mentioned in the video? If so, what were they? ?
