Week 2 C2

A Student Response From:YamileI think you’re absolutely right about ownership. I believe that we weren’t put into the earth to belong to someone or something and let it control every aspect of our lives and it absolutely baffles me that we are forced to live by societal rules, which are essentially not real. Who are they to tell us who …

Week 2 B4

A Student Response From:NolanWhen it comes to the part where you talk about Identity, it can definitely understand how it can be a tough way to describe that because you are never the same person or thing at any given time. You could be the same person but have different ways of thinking or you could have the same way …

Week 2 B3

A Student Response From:TaylorI really appreciate the ideas behind diluting our identity that we are only the sum of several adjectives but those descriptions never quite capture the essence of our person identity. I resonate with questions like “where is the language” and I feel the answer to that question is that there is no language to accurately capture certain …

Week 2 A3

A Student Response From:PatrickThe main takeaway I got from this passage, is about going against the grain–not conforming to already established ideas and/or principles–and finding oneself amongst the conflict.

Week 2 A2

A Student Response From:VictoriaThis prompt really speaks to me because I feel like many people have the expectation that you need to stay the same way, or that it does not make sense for you to want to branch out and change yourself. I was in a three year long relationship and we started dating when I was 14 and …

Week 2 A1

A Student Response From:QuinnDo you think all of us are reduced by adjectives and nouns? I wonder if it is possible to describe a person accurately. We are, after all, constantly changing.
