Today in class two students have completed TKW, congratulations. Still other students are treading water, or should I say tree pulp and ink? We were in chapter 6-7 last week.
We read a poem from Reed by Floyd Salas and then preceded to develop thesis sentences using "topical invention." Invention refers to any pre-writing strategy that helps writers develop ideas about their topic. In this case, students develop thesis sentences that answer questions (handout).
The resulting sentences are definitions (what is it/was it), analogies (what is it like/unlike), consequences (what caused it/did it cause/will it cause) and testimony (what does an authority say about it).
Students were in groups and used a mapping handout and another handout that helped students narrow their topics. Homework is to develop 4 thesis sentences using this technique and bring to class electronically. Email them to yourself.
Post your four sentences here. Pull the topics from Chapter 8 in TKW. We will write another short essay on Thursday. Students were to bring in examples of signal phrases and block quotes for homework.
For homework bring in five published examples of a signal phrases and three examples of a block quote. Use a variety of media: scholarly articles, newspapers, and magazines. Bring the examples to class.
No one did last week's assignment. It is posted below as well. We used one poem for the freewrite in class; the homework was to do the same again, using another poem.

-The known world deals with the law at the time during 18th century describing how the laws were different for different class of people, mainly for black and white people.
-The known world also makes clear how the slave’s owner had absolute rights over their slave’s bodies and lives. How they can punish and treat their slaves even kill when they try to escape or do things against them.
_The book has tried to compare the past world with modern world in the sense of human right violation.
_The is also distinct from the other book on slavery because it has focused on black people who own slaves at that period

Block Quotes and Signal Phrases from Timothy Chappell’s Essay “Infinity Goes Up On Trial: Must Immortality Be Meaningless?”
Block Quote 1 & Signal Phrase
It is the opposite—the prospect of mortality:
O dark dark dark. They all go into the dark,
The vacant interstellar spaces, the vacant into the vacant,
The captains, merchant bankers, eminent men of letters,
The generous patrons of art, the statesmen and the rulers,
Distinguished civil servants, chairmen of many committees,
Industrial lords and petty contractors, all go into the dark,
And dark the Sun and Moon, and the Almanach de Gotha
And the Stock Exchange Gazette, the Directory of Directors,
And cold the sense and lost the motive of action.

And we all go with them, into the silent funeral,
Nobody’s funeral, for there is no one to bury.
(T. S. Eliot, East Coker)
Block Quote 2 and Signal Phrase 2:
As Shakespeare saw, the threat overshadows kings as well as
the rest of us:
. . . for within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court; and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be fear’d and kill with looks,
Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
As if this flesh which walls about our life,
Were brass impregnable; and humour’d thus
Comes at the last and with a little pin
Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!
(Richard II, Act 3, Scene 2)
Quote 3 & Signal Phrase 3:
To sustain the last paragraph’s metaphor, it is
that even if we do complete a good poem or two on the blackboard of the world
before we die, still it will be wiped out not long after death wipes us out—leaving
nothing:

All his happier dreams came true—
A small old house, wife, daughter, son,
Grounds where plum and cabbage grew,
Poets and Wits about him drew;
‘What then?’ sang Plato’s ghost. ‘What then?’
‘The work is done,’ grown old he thought,
‘According to my boyish plan;
Let the fools rage, I swerved in naught,
Something to perfection brought’;
But louder sang that ghost, ‘What then?’
(W. B. Yeats, ‘What then?’)
Signal Phrase 4
We can get a sense of the
meaninglessness of life by looking at the vastness of the universe and time and
the shortness and littleness of us and our projects. [sic: ‘:’]

Block Quotes and Signal Phrases from Timothy Chappell’s Essay “Infinity Goes Up On Trial: Must Immortality Be Meaningless?”
Block Quote 1 & Signal Phrase
We should not lose our sense of surprise at the claim that eternal life would be
meaningless—even though, in our society, it is rather a cliche´d paradox, usually
found alongside the ‘tired fancy’ that Hell will be more fun than Heaven. (‘Tired
fancy’ is Bernard Williams’ phrase, Williams 1973: 94; I’d want to add ‘analytic
untruth’.) We should stay surprised because, as a matter of common experience,
it is not the prospect of immortality that most frequently and most familiarly
threatens meaning. It is the opposite—the prospect of mortality:
O dark dark dark. They all go into the dark,
The vacant interstellar spaces, the vacant into the vacant,
The captains, merchant bankers, eminent men of letters,
The generous patrons of art, the statesmen and the rulers,
Distinguished civil servants, chairmen of many committees,
Industrial lords and petty contractors, all go into the dark,
And dark the Sun and Moon, and the Almanach de Gotha
And the Stock Exchange Gazette, the Directory of Directors,
And cold the sense and lost the motive of action.
Infinity Goes Up On Trial 31
And we all go with them, into the silent funeral,
Nobody’s funeral, for there is no one to bury.
(T. S. Eliot, East Coker)
Block Quote 2 and Signal Phrase 2:
Eliot’s sense, like many others’, is that a life lived ‘in the valley of the shadow
of death’—as all our lives ultimately are—is a life lived under the constant threat
of meaninglessness. As Shakespeare saw, the threat overshadows kings as well as
the rest of us:
. . . for within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court; and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be fear’d and kill with looks,
Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
As if this flesh which walls about our life,
Were brass impregnable; and humour’d thus
Comes at the last and with a little pin
Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!
(Richard II, Act 3, Scene 2)
Quote 3 & Signal Phrase 3:
The second way in which mortality threatens us with meaninglessness is that
it threatens to make a mock of anything we do achieve. The thought here is more
nebulous, and more despairing. To sustain the last paragraph’s metaphor, it is
that even if we do complete a good poem or two on the blackboard of the world
before we die, still it will be wiped out not long after death wipes us out—leaving
nothing:
All his happier dreams came true—
A small old house, wife, daughter, son,
Grounds where plum and cabbage grew,
Poets and Wits about him drew;
‘What then?’ sang Plato’s ghost. ‘What then?’
‘The work is done,’ grown old he thought,
‘According to my boyish plan;
Let the fools rage, I swerved in naught,
Something to perfection brought’;
But louder sang that ghost, ‘What then?’
(W. B. Yeats, ‘What then?’)
Signal Phrase 4
‘Man that is of woman born is of few days and full of trouble’; ‘Man’s days are
like the grass that flowers in the field; the wind passes over it, and its place shall
know it no more’ (Job 14.1, Psalm 103.15–16). We can get a sense of the
meaninglessness of life by looking at the vastness of the universe and time and
the shortness and littleness of us and our projects. [sic: ‘:’]
Signal Phrase 5
Nor, so far, have I made any assumptions about the kind of projects and
commitments that a happy life is likely to contain. For all I’ve said, they could be
any projects that will suffice to carry us forward into the future on a variety of
different narrative waves. They could even be such modest projects as those
noted by a rather depressive and not particularly eudaimoˆn character in Nick

Lee Bernhang makes the case that the school administrators are acting unfairly: "With all the stories you see about bullying in school and how kids are picked on, here's a kid who is a little different who is actively involved in his school and accepted by enough of his peers to be voted homecoming king! This should have been an amazing example of how far the world has come in advancing equality for everyone in this country, and instead the school administrators ruined it. Shame on you, you should all be fired! There are kids dying over in Iraq for us to live free in the the US, and you do this? Amazing. Your ignorance is astounding. Look at the kid, he walks like a boy, talks like a boy thinks like a boy, and acts like a boy. He's not hurting anyone, he's just being him. WAKE UP AMERICA." (SF GATE)

“I think it’s really important that people understand you don’t have to be fair skinned, with blue eyes and blonde hair to get cancer.” She said. “We need to become advocates for our own health, especially in the Latino community, where it’s always family first.

Lee Bernhang makes the case that the school administrators are acting unfairly: "With all the stories you see about bullying in school and how kids are picked on, here's a kid who is a little different who is actively involved in his school and accepted by enough of his peers to be voted homecoming king! This should have been an amazing example of how far the world has come in advancing equality for everyone in this country, and instead the school administrators ruined it. Shame on you, you should all be fired! There are kids dying over in Iraq for us to live free in the the US, and you do this? Amazing. Your ignorance is astounding. Look at the kid, he walks like a boy, talks like a boy thinks like a boy, and acts like a boy. He's not hurting anyone, he's just being him. WAKE UP AMERICA." (SF GATE)

1. Many people say they would choose that option, but I see an important catch. If you are feeling fine one moment, the very last thing you would want is to drop dead the next. And for your loving family and friends, who would suffer instant bereavement, your sudden death would be a cruel loss. On the other hand, coping with a long, drawn-out terminal illness is not great either, nor is the nightmare of losing a loved one into the dark wastes of dementia. (Thomas, Scientific American, Sep2010, Vol. 303 Issue 3, p42-49, 8p).
2. In a short while, starved of oxygen, the cells will die. With their death, something of immense antiquity will come to its own quiet end. Each and every one of the cells in the body that just died could, if the records were available, trace its ancestry through an unbroken chain of cell divisions backward in time through an almost unimaginable four billion years to the emergence of the earliest forms of cellular life on this planet.

According to the COA library data base in the sections of mythology article talks about Joseph Campbell’s life time work mythology, Joseph Campbell tells that “A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.”
As Campbell long ago wrote that "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" (1949): “In the absence of an effective general mythology, each of us has his private unrecognized, rudimentary, yet secretly potent pantheon of dream. The latest incarnation of Oedipus, the continued romance of Beauty and the Beast, stand this afternoon on the corner of Forty-second Street and Fifth Avenue, waiting for the traffic light to change.”
Campbell explains hero’s adventure in his book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” (1949): A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.”
In Campbell's account, there is little to fear and much even to be thankful for. According to him, the prophet's second sight derives from his sexual experience: "There's a good point there-when your eyes are closed to distracting phenomena, you're in your intuition, and you may come in touch with the morphology, the basic form of things."
Campbell gives examples about the hero’s initiations and he tells that “Odysseus was sent to the Underworld by the goddess Circe: His true initiation came when he met Tiresias and realized the unity of male and female’s.”
BLOCK QUOTES:
Campbell tries to open his perspective to the reader, to explain this, he states:
All of the great mythologies and much of the mythic story-telling of the world are from the male point of view. When I was writing The Hero with a Thousand Faces and wanted to bring female heroes in, I had to go to the fairy tales. These were told by women to children, you know, and you get a different perspective. It was the men who got involved in spinning most of the great myths. The women were too busy; they had too damn much to do to sit around thinking about stories.
The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell gives so many evidences about Campbell’s
point of view and explains the functions of characters’ roles in mythology. The Power of Myth states:
In The Odyssey, you'll see three journeys. One is that of Telemachus, the son, going in quest of his father. The second is that of the father, Odysseus, becoming reconciled and related to the female principle in the sense of male-female relationship, rather than the male mastery of the female that was at the center of The Iliad. And the third is of Penelope herself, whose journey is [...] endurance. Out in Nantucket, you see all those cottages with the widow's walk up on the roof: when my husband comes back from the sea. Two journeys through space and one through time.
Only after the Romantic movement does the purpose of the hero's journey become the
search for self-understanding that Eliot describes in "Four Quartets":
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Fighters’ Faces in Holger Keifel’s “Box”
Nikolay Valuev. “I am not a machine; I am not a piece of meat; I am not a circus show. I am a normal human being. I have human feelings. I have a beautiful family. I have many friends. I like good music, classical music. I read books. People sometimes do not treat me like a human being because of my size. They make a sensation. I try not to take it personally because they do not know me as a person, but there are times when it hurts me inside” (Romig).
Chris Arreola. “It’s two guys in the ring who hardly know each other, beating the crap out of each other. The crowd oohs and aahs, and I want to get my oohs and aahs in. Then it’s over, and you shake hands and hug each other. Go figure” (Romig).
Evander Holyfield. “People keep telling me that boxing is a brutal business. Do they think I don’t know that? I’ve been in the ring three times with Riddick Bowe; twice with Lennox Lewis. I beat Larry Holmes and George Foreman. I whupped Mike Tyson twice; had my ear chewed off and spat on the ground in front of me. I know this business better than anyone” (Romig).
Mike Tyson. “The best decision I ever made was to retire from boxing. I hate the smell of a gym. I hate the boxing game. That guy I used to be; I don’t know that guy anymore. I don’t have a connection with him anymore. I’m just not that person anymore. I like the person I am now more than I did. I don’t like Iron Mike” (Romig).
Joe Calzaghe. “I understand that in boxing the purpose is to do damage. But I can only speak for myself and say honestly that I have never wanted to seriously hurt an opponent. I’m not violent. It’s just the nature of what I do. I know the argument about intent. But I’m a fighter and I know what’s in my mind. I have never set foot in a ring with the express intention of inflicting serious harm on my opponent” (Romig).

Offensive Play
Here is a description of a dogfight given by the sociologists Rhonda Evans and Craig Forsyth in “The Social Milieu of Dogmen and Dogfights,” an article they published some years ago in the journal Deviant Behavior. The fight took place in Louisiana between a local dog, Black, owned by a man named L.G., and Snow, whose owner, Rick, had come from Arizona:
The handlers release their dogs and Snow and Black lunge at one another. Snow rears up and overpowers Black, but Black manages to come back with a quick locking of the jaws on Snow’s neck. The crowd is cheering wildly and yelling out bets. Once a dog gets a lock on the other, they will hold on with all their might. The dogs flail back and forth and all the while Black maintains her hold (Gladwell).
In a dogfight, whenever one of the dogs “turns”—makes a submissive gesture with its head—the two animals are separated and taken back to their corners. Each dog, in alternation, then “scratches”—is released to charge at its opponent. After that first break, it is Snow’s turn to scratch. She races toward Black:
Snow goes straight for the throat and grabs hold with her razor-sharp teeth. Almost immediately, blood flows from Black’s throat. Despite a serious injury to the throat, Black manages to continue fighting back. They are relentless, each battling the other and neither willing to accept defeat. This fighting continues for an hour. [Finally, the referee] gives the third and final pit call. It is Black’s turn to scratch and she is severely wounded. Black manages to crawl across the pit to meet her opponent. Snow attacks Black and she is too weak to fight back. L.G. realizes that this is it for Black and calls the fight. Snow is declared the winner (Gladwell).
Gameness, Carl Semencic argues, in “The World of Fighting Dogs” (1984), is no more than a dog’s “desire to please an owner at any expense to itself.” The owners, Semencic goes on;
understand this desire to please on the part of the dog and capitalize on it. At any organized pit fight in which two dogs are really going at each other wholeheartedly, one can observe the owner of each dog changing his position at pit-side in order to be in sight of his dog at all times. The owner knows that seeing his master rooting him on will make a dog work all the harder to please its master (Gladwell).
