Fear Reading Frier

There is no fear reading friers paper any longer due to the fact my group summerized "The Banking Concept". We pretty much all understand it and discussed it today, sharing our few bullet points combining them together to better understand it. Personally, I believe that our work was most crucial. Illustration may have helped at times, some of the words the others defined were okay too, but in second was the question masters. I dont know that is the term for it but that is what Im going on especially since Im in the mood to play some circle of death if you know it, if not we wont go into it. I will post a few of these key points in case anyone else is reading this and needs help remembering.

• Teachers talk to fill heads; memorization rather actual learning
• Teachers know all and students are ignorant
• Banking concept is that man can be molded and controlled, filled with info as if a container
• Rather standout, students are taught in a manner to adapt and just flow with world, holding back creativity in order to be dominated/keep world from changing for those in power will not forfeit or teach others how to reach it
• Dehumanization and domestication of society, making men and women objects
• Problem posing, teachers preachto you, solution: create problems student identifies with
• Students are not aware or with it, those who are try to control
• We have to ask why, they wont ask for us and help us

re-re-re-revision

This is just an updated post. I didnt want to have to write about the 10 best argument strategies since we basically covered everything there is to during class. So after revising all 3 papers for the whole class workshop deal, I kind of helped myself. It was a good learning experience. Not only do we offer help for the kid by reading their paper, but it also gave me ideas of my own and new perspectives to think about. I was worried about my writing, but looking at theirs I see they add a few same points I had made and other thoughts I agree with that they had. I felt a little confident and then i revised a 4th paper-mine. I had really been meaning to do that too. I have been so busy and looking at those just put me in the zone. Easy to say things were accomplished tonight, definetly not 100%, but glad to say I made a dent.

Map

So I came in a few minutes late but get the jist of whats going on here. Theres this map on the wall and it says to 'free write' about the picture. So it looks a bit weird, I am now seeing that its the world but upside down. I also come to the conclusion this is a lesson learned sort of thing where we can't automatically assume whats the right or wrong way things are (I have had a similar thing with the upside down map before). So yea we can relate this to that ladies book about how we drench ourselves in assumptions which we assume is wrong because the world is usually the other way around in pictures.

Great idea..Great answers

1.) The end was suprising. You would think that these ideas and ways of life might intrigue and tempt Binta's father. Less work, more money, yet he goes against it and thinks of something out of the ordinary. He truly is happy and pure at heart with his intentions.
2.) He hears of the Souleyman's stories and now he wants to bring someone from tubab back so they can be taught how to live meaningful, simple, but happy lives. It is a good idea, people have to be able to slow down and enjoy life. They are at peace and love one another and all very close while money will only bring about evils such as greed etc that will tear them apart.
3.) He doesn't want her to get ideas and leave. He wants her to stay around and work for him, cook, and take care of him. He believes in those ways and that men are in control. Older adults are like this sometimes, where all the women do is cook and clean and thats about it. Soda wants to be smart like others and learn. Her mother wants her not to be cheated like she was in the market and to grow up and be something.
4.) They will change. Simple and peaceful ways may leave them. They will all be caught in hustle and bustle and nothing is ever good enough. Faimly life would be changed and happieness will cease. They live a good life, and are all close, and it would be terrible to lose.
5.) They may see the goodness in their simple ways. They can look back and remember how small things made them happy and see the beauty in the world. Possibly miss the closer relationships and the love that they can have with one's family and friends.
6.) Focussing on only how to better things and always move up in thw world, they can destroy their country and their personalities. At the same time they can learn to control such things or their old traditional ways. Their can be an even balace of improvement and tradtions though. They need to learn in order to survive but they also need to remember to be as one with eachother and not seperate in order to obtain personal gain.
7.) Learning new things and new ways to cut time just takes away some beauty at times. Constantyl studying only to get a good grade, not to learn. Working more and more for money that people fight about. More and more new activities that take you away from family and lose relationships. Constantly being busy or pulled away from the world, you forget to take a step back and see the wonderful things going on. Lifetime will pass by and you wont realize how fast. Bintas father knew how to be happy and simple and enjoyed every minute while I work and go to class and go out and the days over and down with in what seems like no time at all.

Creative Writing, please don't read this garbage

My name is Mitch Regan and I don't really know what to say, I was never too fond of these types of papers. I suppose Mr. McGuire wants me to write whatever is in my head, and this is, word for word. First off, I really hope we don't have to read these things. So far it has literally been about nothing but me talking to myself. It would be embarrassing to find out everyone wrote about something meaningful and I just sat here and spaced and did the first assignment wrong. I hope we don't turn these things in either. I hope this isn’t taken as a serious piece of writing either, and if so, I'm sorry Mr. McGuire. I've been thinking, maybe it was a mistake coming here, I mean I'm not sure this is what I want to do. I never put much thought into college or going away, and thinking back, perhaps I should have. All my friends are gone now and Kaitlin leaves tomorrow. I am going to be so lonely. I have already been depressed, but now it is time for the last of the last to go. I have a good job, and I'm saving money coming here, ethically its a smart move, but it doesn't change the fact it's still all too new. Until I have more time to sort things out and get well adjusted, I cannot be fully satisfied with my choices. I don't have the money to leave and student loans will only follow me for a long time. My parents are helping me out by paying for Moraine as long as I do good and keep my job. However, if I were to go away, I am on my own budget- wise. I am going to leave so that I can advance in the world by getting a higher degree which in turn will provide a good job. You need a good job in order to not only raise yourself, but a family. I am getting tired of writing.
