@unibcarlson "Some doctors are stronger communicators than others, and some doctors are more adamant, but the pressures they all face are similar" (233).
@unibcarlson “Even if girls did not have babies of their own, they often became mothers by default- by tending to younger siblings, nieces, and nephews" (Morales 176).
https://t.co/I6ytoQnjce This is an analysis of Richard Wright's poem that helps to describe the contents of the poem. The analysis helps give background info as well as help us relate to the text. #CMU111
The Shatter Me series opened the door to the world of fantasy for me. It is the series that got me to actually start reading and also allowed me to connect to a good friend of mine who was able to recommend some other really good books. I could read them over and over. #CMU111
@unibcarlson https://t.co/Cs7pIgONs9 This song is the first song I learned on the piano. It helps me to focus and take a step back when I get overwhelmed.
https://t.co/dRJABA6gCb This article says heaven and hell depend on your own perception and not just religious beliefs. I think this is something seen in Munro and Baxter because the comparisons each author made were not explicit definitions but perception based. #CMU111
@unibcarlson https://t.co/DDLhCnMceO This article shows very well what living is like now. Based off of the responses to what getting back to "normal life" means we can see what life is like now. It is suggesting that life now is not "normal" and it would be nice to get back to the way it was
@tanhartMAVacc This quote is good because it's an idea that's reiterated later in the essay. The quote describes the pain experienced in Hell but also gets us thinking about how bad the experience is. Later in the story, we can infer the idea goes with his wanting death quickly if it's by fire.
“The only way I can explain our failure to speak of it was that there must have been a cloud around that word like the cloud around the mention of sex. Worse, even” (Munro 18). #CMU111
The feeling of succeeding at reaching a goal is one of the greatest feelings for me. I am always striving to do my best at everything. Like getting straight As and having a high GPA.
@ld8642 I like this topic. I also think that learning to accept emotions also goes with learning how to deal with those emotions. Like listening to certain music when you're sad.
@payton_kuechler I often start thinking about the past and everything I've ever done wrong when my mind is not busy. Finding an enjoyable positive activity like dance or reading always takes my mind to a happy place. I can let bad things go and focus on where I am presently.
@tanhartMAVacc I saw the same message. I also like that you said happiness can be found. I think it can be difficult when you are going through trials but its even more difficult when you are keeping yourself floating through space.
Both "Space Oddity" and "Deadkidistan" say "And I'm floating in a most peculiar way / And the stars look very different today." Paired with "Permission to Dance," there is a message that says even if it feels you are just floating, there is always something good waiting. #CMU111
@BrockMiller777 I agree. I also think he talks about valuing your own life and not wasting it by trying to fix everything else. Before you know it, your own life could be gone and wasted away.
