Looking at where she wrote this poem it seems as if she was trying to get an idea out of her head before she lost it. The fact that she wrote in her poem about surprises is interesting because it seems as if this poem itself is a surprise. If her poem was alone in her head and she couldn’t write anything on it, maybe her surprise idea would have gone sour, just like the meat.
“The Balloon Hoax”
Right from the beginning the story starts off with telling its readers that science has found a way to make traveling much more easy and common. Much like mass publishing, it was easier for companies to get more stories out to more people quicker. The move from the slower way, to a faster easier way shows in both mass publishing and the balloon. Both see ways to appeal to the general public by making things more readily available to people. The long description of what the balloon is made of, shows just how much stuff/mechanics really go into inventions to make other things faster. As we moved from the printing press, to easier mass publishing techniques, the machines got more complicated to build, but the product in the end was much easier to make.
This newspaper looks as if it was printed on a fairly large pieces of paper. The writing is very jam-packed and small, giving readers an opportunity to get as much information without turning the page. It could also possibly be cheaper for companies to get it printed because there is less paper. Each section has a bold headline so people can kind of skim through the paper and find the sections they would actually prefer to read. Also since the print is so small, and the articles are all packed into one page, the columns also have to be smaller. Since I’m basically blind, it the paper really made me not only zoom in, on the computer but also bring my face to the screen. I would also not that it makes me a little happier to read newspapers because there are just headlines all over, and I can just skip to whatever I want to read. With a book, sure I could skip pages and chapters, but the contents wouldn’t really make any sense, because it’s a cohesive story. It’s really different to how a book looks as well, because you’re getting so much different topics/information on one sheet, rather than perhaps a small scene. Also, you’re not reading completely from the very edge of the left to the edge on the right, because the articles are in such small columns. If I had to describe a newspaper to someone who has never seen one before, I would tell them to first be prepared to see smaller print, and a lot more chunks of words at a time. I would also tell them to look for the bolder lines to look out for what they may be getting into.
The newspaper plays a crucial role in this story. It makes us not only the character pay attention to the murders, but it also lets us the readers know the details of what has happened so far. The details that is provided in the newspaper shows different information to what Dupin figures out. Or he at least bothers to analyze what’s going on around, rather than just focusing in on the details they think to believe. While the police may think Le Bon is responsible simply because it’s simple to see what’s happening and put the scene together that way, Dupin figures that they aren’t seeing the whole picture. Rather they are focusing on the crime in the wrong way.

1. I see a skeleton hiding behind a mask of a woman, and behind the radical reform skeleton person there are a whole bunch of different people that are holding up pieces of cloth that represents terrible actions. On the right side it's much lighter and the woman is on the side of religion and loyalty holding a sword labelled as "the laws." I would also mention that the left side of the photo has much harsher lines compared to the cloud-like shapes on the right side, and in saying that, the left side leader looks to be a man, and the other looks to be a woman. I also noticed the hats on the people to the left and I don't know what they represent.
2. This photo would expect the audience to be able to know the event that is taken place. It would make the assumption that the United Kingdom is a place that is supposed to bring light to the world through religion. If we look at the left side, we only see the destruction that a country has brought to its people. Personally I don't really know what the red hats mean/what they stand for, and the photo assumes that we do.
3. This image shows how terrible radical thinking can be, and it only shows the bad side, rather than things that also happen under reform. Its focus on how religion and loyalty are one the side with the laws really makes the audience think about how religion is the only good thing in the world. It doesn't really show the whole spectrum of either side. On the left side, there is only pain, and on the right side, first there's only one person, and 2nd everything sees to be alright, even though it looks like she's loosing this battle.
4. This image to me makes me assume that the fight for religion is the right fight. It is the side that I should be on, because the right side under radical reform is just so terrible and everything under that cape represents what happens because of radical reform. It is also really interesting to be how the skeleton person is pretending to be a woman to fight the other woman. It is like I'm in a weird position because as a woman I don't want some weird male skeleton thing to be groping this woman, but what she fights for isn't as light as it tells the audience. What is really bugging me since the start of this activity though is the fact that I don't know what that hat represents on the left side.
"Rulers who neither see, nor feel, nor know, But leech-like to their fainting country cling..." The ruler is dying, and much like the photo there seems to be only one person clinging onto the religion and the loyalty to the crown. Everyone else, though it seems like what they're fighting for only gives them grief is on the other side. The author also mentions, "[a]n army, which liberticide and prey...Religion Christless, Godless-a book sealed." Again this depicts that people are now preying upon those who are religious or still feel some type of loyalty to the dying king/ways of life. While radical reformers may still be religious they aren't portrayed as so rather they are "Godless."
My notes about "Ozymandius" talks about the difference in perspective, or what the individual person decides to focus on. In the photo, some people may look at the photo and see how those that are on the right side see things. What are they fighting for and what does the other side look like? On the left side it could be seen as the reality or the imagination of the opposite side. Depending how who you're siding on you're going to be seeing focusing on someone else's world more than your one, or vice versa. What is the impact that the person is making on the world, or how is the world making an impact on the individual?

While this was a really great app for those who have a harder time to read, I wish this app was available for more people. Although there is probably a different version for people who don’t speak English I wish this tool had a translation feature in it. I would also the voices are kind of weird to listen to, almost glitchy, but I cannot fault it because our technology just isn’t there yet. Some of the words can often be said with a pause in between the syllables. I would also say that because of the voices that are just robotic, we don’t get the tone of the story/text. I takes out the authenticity for me personally. Since this tool reads straight from the text, there is really no bias or analysis that I can get from this app. Back to the tone of the text, this could make it hard to do an analysis because there is no actual person reading the text. Listening can often bore someone rather than give them ideas about the text. In order to make this better, I would note that this app could also be available to a lot more people. Whether they add a translation feature, or they change the prices of some of the premium plans.

I put the poem "Anecdote of the Jar" in my program because it seemed like one of the easier ones to put through. I would have would one of Blake's poems, but I'm afraid that it wouldn't have first copied and pasted, and secondly understand it with all the pictures in it. I thought that this was a really interesting that it had different voices that a person could choose from. Although it has many different voices from people around the world it can’t translate anything yet. I think that would be potentially useful in the near future, especially because they have people speaking in that accent/language. It’s not like you paste it into Google Translate and it gives a monotone answer. At the bottom of the screen it also shows what the voice is reading so that could not only help people know where they are in the story, but they can also follow along. Rather than sitting through a computer voice and waiting for it to be finished.
Natural Reader
Natural Reader is a website that allows provides text to voice services. This site allows people to either drag and drop their documents, or a person can get a chrome extension so the program can read the webpage or google doc. There are different subscriptions that a person can decide to pay if they want more options in the program. For example if an individual pays the Premium plan the person can get the Chrome extension, and can access a feature that can read PDF, images, etc,. On the website, it does say that it cannot translate anything just yet, but I hope someday in the future that it would be able to translate documents to make even more material more accessible to the rest of the world.

1. The paper would be hung to dry after it was printed.
2. Racks were hung below the ceiling either in the same warehouse or in a different drying room.
3. The rope that the papers were hung from had to be made of horse hair and be coated with beeswax.
4. They would lift one or two dozen sheets were lifted two at a time
5. The paper would be lifted with a wooden tool called a peel. This tool was similar to what bakers used to lift food in and out of the ovens.
6. The papers would be hung so the air would hit the front of the paper rather than on the edges so they wouldn’t get separated.
7. When the sheets are laid on the drying rack they overlap the neighboring sheets.
8. The length that it took for the paper to dry depended on the size, temperature, and humidity of the room.
9. Once the papers were dried, the workers would take the papers off and stack them together.
10. Hopefully once they were taken down the pages were still in the same order that it needed to be in

Paper Memories, New York 2021
This short collection shows the reality of life. If we follow the paper trails within this container, we come up with memories. What the person did, and how they felt. A container that shows the reality of human life in general. While we aim for sustainability, life around us continues.
I wasn't initially going to put my hand sanitizer in this jar but I thought why not? I was going to put my tape in it, but I just wasn't feeling it too much. When I look at my sanitizer, I get sad. Why? Because if Covid. Also it dries out my hands way too much and it's gross. Sometimes I wonder how many people actually wash or clean their hands here. It grosses me out, and I'm often tempted to walk around with bleach and clorox wipes. I definitely would have put them in here if they would've just fit in the container.
“He became [immured] like an African cow. In him grew a majestic contempt for those strings of street cars that followed him like intent bugs” (8).
He became [confined] like an African cow. In him grew a majestic contempt for those strings of street cars that followed him like intent bugs.
According to Oxford Languages the term immure means to, “enclose or confine (someone) against their will.” This gives off the understanding that Jimmie is unable to leave from the place that he most hates. Everything that was given to him by society has kept him in this certain place within the class system. Like most people, if we are told we are something repeatedly, we often start to believe it. Jimmie, lives a very violent life, he’s always fighting, and his family is always fighting. He didn’t want to be stuck in a more abusive family, he could have been something different. If we changed the sentence from “immure” to “confine” it takes on a different tone. Although we associate being stuck somewhere when thinking about both words, I often see the word “confine” being in a certain physical place, rather than a social rank. Oxford Languages defines confine as , “(of a space) restricted in area or volume; cramped.”
I would also note that he says like an African cow. Being confined in a fence, or a physical area is one thing, but being rooted in a completely different country relates more being immured. Say if this cow, or if we trace the cow’s roots back to Africa before they were brought and breed in America we would say that the the cow was immured. Merriam Webster also defines it as imprisoned or being built into a wall. If the cow was fenced into a pasture or a barn, then it would relate more to confined. Jimmie has the physical room to move around, he isn’t confined to a certain physical place like a room. While both words hold meanings to keep someone/something in a somewhere, being confined there a little more wiggle room. Being immured is like having to be in something because of the rest of the world. Norms and the economy has almost set your path in stone, especially in the US. Jimmie is stuck in this wall where he is less likely to ever escape the life he has been living his whole life.
Before we entered Rome, Mr. Winterbourne seemed to be initially okay with who Daisy Miller was. It didn’t matter that she was more “liberal” in her actions, and he understood the difference between what society expected and who people actually are. I mentioned that the words highlighted how forbidden it was that Daisy acted the way that she did. The words that Winterbourne conveyed understanding of what he felt and what he should be doing. In the later passage when they are in Rome it seems as if ideals completely switch. So instead of understanding the differences, he is now making Daisy out to be “other” due his jealously of course. The second passage again has words much like the first one. The words, “impatience” and “appreciation” come up, and instead of it being in the tone of admiration it’s said in disdain. We should also note that Winterbourne often brings up how Daisy should and shouldn’t be acting now that they are in Rome. I claimed that the words that I highlighted showed the difference between Winterbourne and Mrs. Costello’s societal standards and Daisy’s are. While before Winterbourne was able to overlook it, and continue to enjoy the company, the new love interest and the new setting has completely thrown him off. From there, words like “impatience” and “appreciation” now have a completely different tone of voice.
When I got this cord holder, I wasn't really thinking about why, other than it was cute. When I look at it today it instantly made me think about the savagery of crocodiles and alligators. I remember I read once about how fast crocodiles could run. You want to know? Well, based on the type, some can run up to 20 mph. Umm, no thanks. I can't even imagine who they were trying to out run back in the dinosaur days. 😬 Also everytime I look at them I often forget that they can run so fast,, and its probably because they look so misshapened
Also look at what they used to look like!
Usually I pass over my pens and pencils, opting for something more intriguing, but today I chose this green pen because it reminded me of something. That is something is time, specifically me wasting my time. I could stand in a stationary isle at a store for absolutely no reason. Why? There is something about wanting all the pens in the world and I can't help but wonder why. Is it because they're colorful? Or is it simply because I just like pens? Maybe like a lot of other people, I just like stuff. I will always wonder how much time that I waste at a store simply just being in a craft or office section.
