• 06:00 - 06:30 my powerpoint slides keep growing but if i get the results i'm after worth it i think it'll be worth it even if i don't but i want to be really worth it this is the time of the semester when push comes to shove
• 06:30 - 07:00 and everything is you know trying to bring things to completion and uh oh and so you may have to make some adjustments in your own schedule because i know that some of you are got to working and
• 07:00 - 07:30 families and lord knows what else i still try to encourage you to give the education a priority you know you might have to tell some people go away you know or reduce hours you know pick more up later
• 07:30 - 08:00 you know there are many ways to get around the challenge of getting things done you know and in these days of uh technology i tell you one thing i'd be working on my papers doing breaks if i had a job bathroom break i did that i just didn't have the technology you know i took my books to work
• 08:00 - 08:30 when i worked part-time you know because my education was important more so than a job that wouldn't pay me enough to to support myself if i had if i was working full-time even i just you know just a little a little bit of advice because sometimes we sort of let everything get in the way of our education and then whose lip is gonna be poked out when you can't pay the bills
• 08:30 - 09:00 now let me move on here yours yeah that's whose lip is gonna be poked out you know you know i'm not trying to say negative things about people who legitimately are having difficulties i guess we all have to call this legitimately in some way but you know sometimes we bring our problems on ourselves you know anyway last paper for some of us this is make
• 09:00 - 09:30 or break you know make to get through the course or get a higher grade and some of us to maintain because some of us are doing quite well you know and so therefore i like to see everyone you know show me something you know i've i've passed people on the basis of the last paper and the final exam because it brought everything else up
• 09:30 - 10:00 so i just thought i just thought i'd just mention that but don't assume i'm not going to send anybody on if i feel in my gut that you're not going to be able to pass somebody else's remote course in writing no and if at first you don't succeed i'm just saying it because everyone doesn't succeed in every course the first time through in college you don't go running with your tail between your legs you know you figure out what went wrong and you try to use all the services that
• 10:00 - 10:30 will help you to do better you know um i think we're we're in a culture where people aren't encouraged to do that cause effect paper due this friday you know um i'm hoping to start reading the compare contrast papers i thought i was going to get to them sooner but it took me a while to get through process i have done process um but there were some papers that were
• 10:30 - 11:00 you know in some of the classes and each of the classes not well done takes me way long time there were some papers i couldn't even open you know and i spent hours trying to track that student down and to try to fix the problem just to let you know you know so i'm hoping that when you put things in the dropbox not only can i open them but that you follow my instruction most of you are but there are some people who are still not
• 11:00 - 11:30 handing in theme organization worksheet it's required one of my colleagues said you ought to give that person a d you know now i was a little kinder than that you know because i'm trying to get people to you know get together in this situation and keep hoping that maybe by the end of the semester everyone will do what i ask you know i'll tell you right off the bat those who did got better grades than
• 11:30 - 12:00 those who didn't it's just that simple friday december 4th 11 59 paper number six worth two grades in the dropbox two to four pages theme organization worksheet that's what i've been fussing about final draft my outline don't you make up an outline i didn't say just make up in your outline some people that's what they're doing and it's weird you know here's my outline at least you won't lose points for using it you know and it might even help you
• 12:00 - 12:30 to write a better paper isn't that weird yeah anyway um i've spent decades developing some of the things i do outline post writing exercise underlying thesis plan and development three topic sentences i lost my my space there um well i didn't write well the topics
• 12:30 - 13:00 oh oh my haste last evening i see an error on my thesis plan development that's why i got lost the word sentences got deleted somehow it was there yesterday okay now it's there back again topic sentences double space typed five paragraphs i changed the date for topic submission you know because i one reason because i haven't received that many even though i've received some usually the students that tend to
• 13:00 - 13:30 get a's and they're all accounted for but um so the rest of you you know and i'm going to be kind of brief in my approvals because well the time is of the essence and i want to get some more stuff done so anyway um but i will respond um type double space five paragraphs there are still people heading in seven and eight and that kind of thing it's just like i don't know did my eyes confuse you i mean it's just
• 13:30 - 14:00 like you know i say one thing and a couple people do something totally different you know i think they're not present missing class not paying attention even if you're not paying attention look it's in writing a i don't understand it you know and my teacher told me five paragraphs i gave five you know because they wouldn't read more than that see i read it all but they wouldn't read more than that they said four pages and
• 14:00 - 14:30 you had five they weren't gonna read five pages they're gonna read four and dock your grade you know i mean you know they didn't play with you that's what i'm trying to say you know and if you went off on your own in elementary school i haven't said this all the whole semester they beat you you know now i'm exaggerating somewhat they paddled you you know if you did certain kind of things that i see sometimes in the hat classroom you know
• 14:30 - 15:00 i'm not saying they were right i'm not saying they should have done that i'm just saying that's just what they did and so therefore you told the line that's the point i'm making i'm not trying to be harsh i'm just trying to help you to succeed top of due december 1st on report sheet emailed to me the paper is worth double essentially 200 points since it is counted twice be sure to indent i added that to because i'm getting papers where paragraphs are not indented maybe they they don't teach indentation
• 15:00 - 15:30 in some classrooms throughout this world i want you to indent five spaces and if you don't know what the word indent means and i sure think you do google it you can google almost anything and it will show you examples click on images and it will show you what's meant by indent there's no reason for failure absolutely none none the people failed themselves and i just have to go on i'll cry a little bit um you'll cry a whole lot
• 15:30 - 16:00 readings i still left them up there because you know they need to get done if they haven't been done yet and then i had a rabbitini's daughter which i'm going to start dealing with shortly and then i found an essay i wasn't sure if i was going to send it to you i saved it just for for my purposes for my study purposes but i found the essay which um it focuses on science reason and humanity in rappertini's daughter however it deals with a lot of the things i discuss how she's treated
• 16:00 - 16:30 the gentleman you know how they behave now i don't agree with everything that's in that essay but you know so i almost hesitated sending it to you but it's relatively short and it's relatively clear um and um like i said it sort of reinforces a number of things even though that i will be teaching even though it takes a um deals with science and that kind of thing which is part of the essay but this is this uh rapid teaching star that is but representative general is so rich that many different perspectives that
• 16:30 - 17:00 people come at it by um i want to summarize cause of the fact i'm asking you to review mla documentation for some reason everyone seems to do apa i was never taught apa because this is the modern language area the humanities and in the humanities use mla you know in mla i think it's easier in my opinion than apa you know and then people don't even do apa quite right either um
• 17:00 - 17:30 but i'll say a little bit more about mla i sent you something else but i've found something else that might help so when you do work cited page you don't just give websites what do you think we did when there were no websites have blank page you know you had to have the name of the author and and you have to have the title of the document where it was published the year was published and some other
• 17:30 - 18:00 things they would ask for you know that was mla you know so um and it's somewhat different you have all that in a website you see so i'm fussing about that because if you're going to go on to the next course where they do more research and i have done you have to learn that or people will fail your paper that's the point being made here so read all handouts i sent out rapper
• 18:00 - 18:30 to your daughter i sent you a considerable amount um and then i sent you a video so i'm trying to help you to be successful you know in this remote environment if i were a student i'd google this sucker you know i mean you have hated me as a student because i'd done all that on my own without the teacher telling me because i wanted to know everything i could possibly know because my goal was to be the best student in the classroom period you know because i felt that's the only way i could succeed you know now it's not necessarily the only way you can succeed
• 18:30 - 19:00 but you know i had to prove myself you know i had to show what i could do because they didn't believe that i could do it but i showed them and so i so when you go into d2l boom there it is click and you can watch the video which hopefully will help you to understand the story it's an hour you know so it's not something that's going to go on online and it's quite entertaining and interesting but it's there for you you
• 19:00 - 19:30 know you don't have to go google it i did that for you the final exam please review the final i'm study guide you know some of y'all know how to work that baby yeah so i shouldn't have said it like that but you know how to work a study guide and um i'm hoping that well it doesn't tell you here's the question here's the answer you still have to do something with it but hopefully you'll be able to do a fairly decent job i've already decided that as far as the
• 19:30 - 20:00 library assignment is concerned which some of you did do i am going to make some adjustments in it so um and then add the extra credit to those who did the extra credit and so the scores are going to be pretty much in line with what i expect if i do that so um i just haven't done it yet i keep saying i'm going to do it but i haven't been able to go through five sections of a you know yet final exam uh okay it's objective and i wrote in parenthesis multiple choice an essay and then i wrote on
• 20:00 - 20:30 rappertini's daughter i'm trying to be a little bit more specific there uh it's available starting december 6 you can take it anytime on your time of course we don't meet no classes during final exam week you know some of your teachers unless you have a speech class you may have to give a speech i don't know how they do that but anyway um you have to be um present during a specific time and they'll tell you that time if you're taking class like that and they're going to conduct it that way
• 20:30 - 21:00 um another you know everyone's going to do something probably different but what i'm doing is what a lot of online teachers do who teach virtually and a lot of remote teachers do it the same way too is um to make it available to you just like we did the quizzes and all of you took the quizzes and most you did extremely well and so i'm hoping for this for pretty decent results under quizzes 25 of the grade heavy hit you know
• 21:00 - 21:30 get your timer out you know i think it times you though you have two hours you know now you may be able to finish it in less than two hours which is my hope and expectation if you prepare well you know if you prepare well you'll be clicking so that may take a little bit more time than shading in the correct response on on on a form um but the thing i worry about also is
• 21:30 - 22:00 your writing of the essay and so that's why i'm going to strongly suggest that you prepare for the essay you know that you either have an outline that you've already written before you even do it or or even a rough draft you know just don't make it too long because you have to type it and you need to give yourself at least an hour to respond to the the essay part you know people tend to finish the multiple
• 22:00 - 22:30 choice part in less than an hour but anyway um but anyway um sunday quinn's 25th grade and then i still have to keep up with the work you know because as we come to a wrap up you want to you don't want to fall behind and you know and go down downhill um start assignments as soon as they sign i don't know why people wait um and then i still have this in here word will only accept i mean um will only accept word pdf rtf documents and you can check that out
• 22:30 - 23:00 because it tells you you know oh you know so for and so on i don't like this has been a really difficult semester trying to get this because i didn't have this problem in the summer you know and i didn't have this problem i don't know why but i did not have it in the spring but this fall every class you know every week every paper so far you know there's always been one or two or three that i just couldn't open the document and it may seem like i'm being harsh
• 23:00 - 23:30 if i say if i can't open it and we can't we i'm gonna try to work it out but if i can't open it and nothing is done it's an f and i'm not the only one who does this you know um because we have meetings and we talk about the things i'm sharing with you you know trying to solve we're trying we're trying to help you all to get through you know um register for classes in the spring i always try to make you aware of that and then the care center
• 23:30 - 24:00 you know it does a whole lot of things for students who who may need it and if you want to return your textbooks you know because you know they cost you money maybe the pocketbook is tight and you want to buy some christmas presents or some kind of presence or whatever um i put this in how you can return rental textbooks there's a link and how you can sell textbooks back to the bookstore so other students can use them because you don't want to keep them i usually kept my books but
• 24:00 - 24:30 you you make that decision but here's how you know and then of course i want to wish you happy holiday and so i put that in there um that's my card to all of you and all my other students as well now i need to kind of move a little bit here um you know i do take a lot of time to do that i hope it's worthwhile it is to me um i sent you again because i'm very serious
• 24:30 - 25:00 so that when i drop grades i have good reason if these things are lacking i want the theme organization worksheet filled out and i want you to draw two conclusions some people have been skipping that you know you need to think what if you had to fill out an application for a job you're going to skip and not put your name on it are you going to skip and not answer all the questions and not go through all this i don't think so and if you do you won't get the job not a professional job um name and the section number you know which is
• 25:00 - 25:30 on the emails that i've sent and i must have sent you about 15 or more um audience and position and the theme outline form filled out you know because some people have had it there blank just like this you know and i've scrolled down how many times you see you know i hate to be scoldy but well like i said i'm trying to help you to pass if i didn't care i wouldn't waste my time you know i'd go on do something else let's see now what that's the other thing i want to do that i sent you i just want to go
• 25:30 - 26:00 oh i know what i did not do um post writing exercise for cause and effect you know and there are four questions which i do read maybe that's why it takes me so long but it helps people to do better that's the whole idea you get you know if you answer these questions well you know what's the most important cause or effect in your paper and why you know because we don't want you to be
• 26:00 - 26:30 plagiarizing you know that's a serious offense so you want to document properly if you document because this paper you can you have two choices you one choice you can do the research and most topics you ought to be doing that anyway some of the topics will lend themselves you don't have to do research it can just be you know your response uh to a situation um cause effect cause or effect situation
• 26:30 - 27:00 so how did you show relationships in between your ideas does it have to be yours do you believe your reasoning is logical why and how did you create interest in your paper so i said that again yesterday you know um because i wanted to be sure that you had it you know now the other thing um i need to do this this is the science i call it the science essay you know science reason humanity opportunities are now it's not indented
• 27:00 - 27:30 you know i got this online you know it depresses me um i didn't have the time to to fix it i may end up fixing it anyway because i can put all the indents in for you um but anyway um i sent it to you because i thought it might help you when you're putting together the rabbitini's daughter essay it explains the characters it's just fairly well written it's not the best thing i've ever read but it's um i think it's helpful and so i
• 27:30 - 28:00 sent it you know you can do your own research imagine that you know i mean you got a finger i hope you have access to the internet um and if you do and most people seem to um you know i hope you do i can't assume that you do uh but anyway you know back in the day i could assume it because we had computers on campus when we're on campus you know you just walk a few paces you had a computer and you got access to the internet but
• 28:00 - 28:30 it may not be as simple in the remote environment i'm going to go over this particular passage you know i just sent you the major passage it's in the story i just retyped it and sent it to you in case you wanted to look at it in isolation you know because i think it's a key to interpretation of the entire rabbitini's daughter story so i sent it now was anything else before i go to my powerpoint
• 28:30 - 29:00 i don't think so well anyway well sure is i'm going to my powerpoint all the same because i need to wrap up um comparison i mean a comparison cause and effect excuse me uh and this is about where we left off last time now i spent a great deal of time trying to get us prepared for today did you notice that you know because what i spent um 20 minutes or so on
• 29:00 - 29:30 usually in face to face would be 10 you know because to be on the board i you know just remind you move on but since everything's in writing uh we're in a remote environment um well i explained it in more detail we uh ended with black men in public spaces and mentioned some of the issues and difficulties that african-american men often face in the public sphere um
• 29:30 - 30:00 and i did not mention i believe some of my own personal experiences maybe i shouldn't mention them but you know i've had a few where i've been stopped by the police uh in just about every city i've ever lived in um for whatever reason you know um you know including harrisburg and i once lived in york fpa and so forth and so on
• 30:00 - 30:30 um and even at the university i attended i was stopped because i looked like somebody whatever that they were uh thought that they needed to stop even though it wasn't me they didn't treat me well they didn't ask for identification or anything like that i was out for a job you know well i'm here to report it to you some people go out for a jog and they end up in terrible straits due to the um police
• 30:30 - 31:00 if you will you know and so there's a lot of mistrust in the african american community of police and i would argue with good reason you know uh and now this particular person wasn't necessarily police that caused his uh problem but you know it's how he was treated you know and then he talks about his reaction like being surprised embarrassed dismayed you know death of possibility fear no these are all effects of what he
• 31:00 - 31:30 reports brent staples name that he experienced um that one day that this happened alienation may be mistaken for a burglar and he's tried to find a way to deal his way to deal with it is well he says he whistles and vivaldi um which is one of my favorite composers by the way and um and beethoven you know um i wonder which symphony he whistles but
• 31:30 - 32:00 anyway um i want to spend a few minutes if i can find it okay oh i know where it's at i keep forgetting my pdfs clump altogether there it is black men in public space just have a little sip i can't do the whole thing the way i want to i'd like to go through every word of it can't do that but i can give you a little taste
• 32:00 - 32:30 you know um my first he calls a victim he says was a woman white well-dressed probably in her early 20s i don't know when this was written but mr stables was born in 1951 educated widener um which is in he was born in pennsylvania that always came and educated the university of chicago had a very responsible job in journalism which you can read on your own i came upon her late one evening on the
• 32:30 - 33:00 deserted street in hyde park well that's in chicago i don't know if you've been in chicago a relatively affluent neighborhood in an otherwise mean impoverished section of chicago you know as i swung onto the avenue behind her there seemed to be a discreet uninflammatory you know in other words he was wasn't you know right up upon he was a little ways from her uninflammatory distance between us not so she cast
• 33:00 - 33:30 back a worried glance to her he was young at the time um in school i believe the youngest black man she's talking about himself um abroad six foot two inch two inches kind of tall with the beard and billowing hair back in the dad's feels both hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky military jacket he's pretty good right didn't he seem menacingly close after a few more quick glances uh typo there she picked up her pace
• 33:30 - 34:00 and was soon running she went there walking fast she seemed running in earnest within seconds she disappeared into a cross street you know what effect did they have on him no she wasn't the police but um this was more than a decade ago decade when he wrote this ago i was 22 that would have been in the 70s i would think judging from when he was born and he was 22 i did some math a graduate student i've been to the
• 34:00 - 34:30 university university of chicago you know spent a week there taking a um it was either a course i think i was at a conference uh for a week university of chicago and i'm a little had a little trepidation there you know um because i'm used to being in an area where um you know you could have some more freedom to walk about you know uh there seemed kind of like boy this is a big city a huge university really big
• 34:30 - 35:00 um if you ever been to university of chicago it was in the echo of the terrified woman's footfalls that i first began to know the unwieldly wieldy inheritance i come into the ability to alter public that's an effect space in ugly ways it was clear that she thought herself the quarry of a mugger a rapist or worse suffering about he couldn't sleep suffering about of insomnia however
• 35:00 - 35:30 i was stalking sleep not defenseless wayfarers you know um as a as a softie he was scarcely able to take a knife to a raw chicken let alone hold onto a person's throat here's how he felt these are effects i was surprised embarrassed and dismayed all at once her flight made me feel like an accomplice in tyranny it made it clear that i was indistinguishable from muggers who occasionally seeped
• 35:30 - 36:00 into the area from the surrounding ghetto that first encounter and those that follow signified that a vast unnerving gulf laid between nighttime pedestrians well it was at night particularly women and me and i soon gathered that being perceived as dangerous is a hazard in itself there is writing this way before all the things that you've heard in the news and people marching and all that occurred you know and i've been using this
• 36:00 - 36:30 article for some time this essay for some time well anyway um i only needed to turn a corner into a dicey situation or crowd some frightened armed person in a foyer somewhere or make an errant move after being pulled over by a policeman where fear and weapons meets that wasn't happening there just that's just fear no weapon um
• 36:30 - 37:00 and they often do i i wish i had written the year this was written in urban america there is always the possibility of death yeah now i watched over the weekend um they have a on cnn program dealing with president obama and there was a an incident that occurred um in uh cambridge i believe it was cambridge massachusetts
• 37:00 - 37:30 dr henry lewis gates was trying to get into his own house trying to get in his own house now you know and he sort of left his keys and sort of kind of forcing his way in i don't know exactly what he was doing but he got arrested handcuffed dr henry lewis gates harvard university professor i remember the incident he was indignant he was upset
• 37:30 - 38:00 you know because that was his own house whole neighborhood they didn't check it out that's all they had to do was check it out you know and they didn't the police officers went all the way to the white house the president obama at the time had gates and the police officer come to the white house to try to iron some things out you know of course the press made a lot to do about that that's all goes on you can read the rest of it on your own i just want to give you just a little little taste you know um
• 38:00 - 38:30 you know so he kind of explains you know um another example of you know he says um black men trade tales like this all the time you know in fact children are told here's what you do it's stopped by the police you know that's african-americans have to go through that not everybody in this culture so i want to move on from there didn't have a whole lot of time for that wish i had a little bit more time
• 38:30 - 39:00 but sometimes people don't fully understand what it's like i do not from just reading some story because i've experienced it myself something similar to what he's talking about now i want to get to my powerpoint again because i need to wrap up the unit and i need to move on um this is something i added this morning i've been had this picture i showed it in the summer
• 39:00 - 39:30 um it's john lewis one of the heroes who passed this year um in 2020 1940 to 2020 lived to be 80. that's him there civil rights person you know who fought for all of our civil rights not just his not just mine yours too you know as far as that is concerned um and those jelly beans he always had jelly beans on his desk you know a friend of mine said that to
• 39:30 - 40:00 me because she knew someone who interviewed him and she sent the pictures and the interview to me via email and the jelly beans symbolize on his desk symbolize that you have to guess the number of jelly beans correctly in that in order to be signed up to vote if you're african-american and he hasn't had that on his desk as a reminder you know he couldn't vote you know they wouldn't let him vote or his
• 40:00 - 40:30 parents you know until the voting rights act essentially was passed in 1965 you know um and that's not that long ago it may seem like long ago to you but it's not that long ago you know that's why people are you know trying to fuss about these things you know and so i wanted to show you not only a hero and an icon of civil rights movement and he always talked about good trouble you know
• 40:30 - 41:00 and then i wrote um literacy jelly bean test you know um because they had little tests that almost nobody could pass you know um but anyway they probably would well i don't want to go into more detail that that's enough there um nice little follow-up there when you're dealing with in-text citation mla style i only have one example right now i did give a page of explanation and i sent an mla document to you
• 41:00 - 41:30 which i hope you can read um but it's very simple it's reported that the author and a page number author page number if you don't know the name of the author last name only you don't need the whole name title you know uh uh and page number if it doesn't have page numbers just title in parenthesis or just author in parenthesis it's real simple you know
• 41:30 - 42:00 you know for the most part there aren't too many exceptions what i just said and the other concern see that's a works cited page people you know do you see nothing but websites there no you don't uh this is called the hanging indent i don't know how you learn i mean i because i don't know you individually but um if i see something i got it even at this age not as quickly as when i was your age but i i just
• 42:00 - 42:30 imitated what i saw you know that's the um student's name page number of the text there that's what that is works i prefer the word sources actually you know i do prefer the word sources um alphabetized alphabetized okay let me go ahead on i'm trying to be clear here um because um
• 42:30 - 43:00 i'm just gonna go ahead and say it there are two people that came in one half hour late and one just came in and see then when i'm trying to teach something and expect something in the paper you can see you can see with the impact the effect let me move on you know let me move on you know because i am not pleased when that happens we start at eight o'clock well anyway one of you was here at 20 of i just hadn't turned on that screen yet but anyway
• 43:00 - 43:30 um it's alphabetized b c g you know alphabetized you know uh and then you have the um article they don't know the author where it was published the year you all you gotta do is follow it and they even have um um works cited generators if you if you google and click on the right thing all you gotta do is just fill it in and it'll do it for you you know i don't have time to show you that maybe next time
• 43:30 - 44:00 but anyway you can see how to do an interview so forth so i just want you to see what it looks like this is called a hanging indent you know this is flush with the margin here and everything else is indented no i googled that this morning now i want to move on this is my clincher for the unit then i move on to rapidtinystarter desire is the key to motivation see when i've talked about desire and
• 44:00 - 44:30 how important it is and keeping people in school helping them to be successful you know desire is the key to motivation but it's determination and commitment i'm emphasizing that word to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal a commitment to excellence not just barely getting by what is the least i can do to be successful it's a commitment to excellence
• 44:30 - 45:00 that will enable you see it that will cause you that's what enable means there cause you to attain the success you seek you know desire is important you know it's key to motivation but it's determination so i've lived it that's why i can present it and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit you just don't
• 45:00 - 45:30 stop of your goal a commitment to excellence that will enable you or cause you to attain the success that you seek now let's move on robertini's daughter there's a picture of uh nathaniel hawthorne's robertini's daughter i just wanted to introduce him with something you know so i found it it's in um it's a short story and so it's been published by itself
• 45:30 - 46:00 that way oops i don't know why that happened there this is giovanni and beatrice a picture of them from the the video that um i put in d2l encouraging you to watch well anyway now let me move on to um my pdf and i got to get the right one um because i want to look at as i begin
• 46:00 - 46:30 um that's not the one i want to look at um [Music] i think this is wait a minute okay oh there it is way over there sometimes it's hard to click on these things here we go this is the study guide i have it right to the page that i want to want to deal with um and those are the two questions on the
• 46:30 - 47:00 essay part you choose one just one yeah in uno one i think that's one in two three different languages um but anyway remembering wrote that we live in extremely competitive society you don't need to know who remembering is we believe that through reason that's why that science essay is it might be helpful if you read it because it does deal with science reason
• 47:00 - 47:30 and humanity so you can see see hope we see a connection there we believe that through reason we can solve all problems those that believe that hawthorne's rabbitini's daughter discusses some modern concerns competitiveness i'll be exploring this i'm starting with the question or the essay questions i'm going to go over both of them then i'm going to try to teach how you can answer them and so you'd be wise to take good notes
• 47:30 - 48:00 and start you know preparing for that uh for that challenge because you'll be writing it somewhat under pressure of time i want to see what you can do competitiveness worship of science worship of education and science jealousy and the mistreatment of women are elements in this very modern tale here's your task discuss how these elements destroyed
• 48:00 - 48:30 beatrice all of them there was competitiveness between the father and the professor baglioni worship of education and science i think education signs are important but sometimes people go a little too far it's not going to solve everything because unless the human heart is changed education and science can do nothing you know i'm just
• 48:30 - 49:00 just being on i'll just be honest about that you know science can be very helpful but people sort of you know they just think that they're all that and and don't need to pay any attention to science at all the ego was too big you know and so that's why some people are succumbing to pandemics and epidemics that's why in my opinion jealousy well the two doctors are jealous of each other i'm sort of answering the question before i even get through it
• 49:00 - 49:30 and the mistreatment of women you know you know discuss how these elements restore beatrice use material from the story to show that she was mistreated and commented further on the plight of women or comment on problems associated with the worship of education you might you may want to write a paragraph on each of these you know five paragraph essay you know uh on the exam there'll be a space for you to do the typing
• 49:30 - 50:00 and you have to combine something because you need to have a three-part plan of development and i've got four things there yeah i just want to see how you handle it even though i'm giving you a hint or some people choose this one instead you can write an essay about winning being everything or winning not being everything we're going to see how winning occurs in this story well i can tell you
• 50:00 - 50:30 my my opinion is winning is not everything if people are harmed you know because people are more important discuss rabbitini's rivalry with baglioni and we've given you various and sundry materials to do just that you must use as your examples mean you got to read the story elements from the story why was badly only jealous of rapper cheney how did he try
• 50:30 - 51:00 to outdo him because he did and the materials i gave you explain that okay now let me get back to my powerpoint and i'm going to lay the foundations now and show you some pictures at the same there's a time of nathaniel hawthorne the author of the story he's the one that wrote he wrote many things he's a great american
• 51:00 - 51:30 writer a novelist wrote novels and short story writer nathaniel hawthorne lived from 1804 to 1864 and i have that on the screen there hof thorne often said his stories more than a hundred years before his own time in new england in the time of the puritans in many of his works he explores how sin affects spell with the name because the
• 51:30 - 52:00 verb here affects an individual in society two of his most famous novels are discarded letter which is worth reading i love the scarlet letter in the house of seven gables you know and these have been put into movies and films and and the like there's a picture of nathaniel hawthorne now now i want to get back to another item if i can find it
• 52:00 - 52:30 no oh that's not the one i want no that's not it that's not it hmm see i think i missed it today well that's cause and effect material
• 52:30 - 53:00 oh boy there's some things i missed that i did not do so i have to try to find some of my other stuff dealing with rabbitini's daughter okay that's not one of them okay give me a minute here bear with me
• 53:00 - 53:30 i have to find this other item that i need i thought i thought i had done it this morning and i got so many things i got to do okay i don't want that bear with me sometimes technology is pain
• 53:30 - 54:00 okay um there i think that's what i want yep there it is i didn't have it up here i'll get to it shortly this ain't quite ready for it yet had to
• 54:00 - 54:30 go in my vast files to find it put off arm back on and i'm back in business hawthorne's high rank among american fiction writers is a result of at least three considerations or three reasons that cause him to be considered an outstanding american writer first he was a skillful craftsman
• 54:30 - 55:00 with an impressive sense of form which we will point out the second reason for hawthorne's greatness is his moral insight he inherited the puritan tradition of moral earnestness you know his ancestors were puritans and he was deeply concerned with the concept of original sin that's a doctrine that the church still teaches the christian church and guilt
• 55:00 - 55:30 and the claims of conscience hawthorne rejected what he saw as a transcendentalist transparent optimism about the potentialities of human nature they're very optimistic about human nature in the 19th century well he saw another side which they didn't seem to pay attention to according to him instead he looked more deeply and perhaps more honestly into life finding in it in life
• 55:30 - 56:00 much suffering and conflict but also finding the redeeming power of love a third reason for hawthorne's eminence is his mastery of symbolism the use of symbols some of which we'll point out an allegory allegory means a story on that has several level layers of meaning we're going to look at some of those layers to unpack it for you his fictional characters actions and
• 56:00 - 56:30 dilemmas fairly obviously express larger generalizations about the problems of human existence but with hawthorne this leads not to unconvincing pasteboard figures with explanatory labels attached to attached explanatory labels attached but to a somber concentrated emotional involvement with his characters that has the power
• 56:30 - 57:00 the gravity and the inevitability of true tragedy well there's a pitch of the author 18 4 1864 well educated individual new england one of my favorites of course i have many favorites when it comes to authors now this is what i forgot to put on the key concepts from the story
• 57:00 - 57:30 ambiguity you know the story is ambiguous you know that's what allegory often is you have many layers of meaning you know it's not well it's like life it's it's not just black and white you know it's shades of gray it is life you know and so it's ambiguous yeah you can look at it from many different perspectives drama there's drama in the piece
• 57:30 - 58:00 emotion because we talk about boy and girl essentially college student and young lady you know yeah is it a love story some people say it is i say well it's kind of shallow you know giovanni's love for beatrice some scholars agree with me some don't power who has the power you know and you know if you've been
• 58:00 - 58:30 looking at politics lately some gentlemen will do anything and women too for the sake of power yeah now the men have all the power in this piece you know the men the three men she has some power too but she respects it and doesn't abuse it that's how i'll interpret that love well depends on your definition of love
• 58:30 - 59:00 i think people have too shallow a definition of love you know they call it love when it's actually lust or they call it love when it's actually well i like you a whole lot but not enough to commit you know but they'll still call that love well we're going to look at shakespeare's definition of love shortly gordon of eden allegory now if you know the genesis account with adam and eve and the garden of eden
• 59:00 - 59:30 they got into trouble you know uh eating the forbidden fruit if you will you know all this is woven into this terribly rich story you know it's a 19th century america you know even though it has implications far beyond its time you know and the woman gets blamed you know in the genesis account you know adam blames the woman the woman you know when he was found out that he had been
• 59:30 - 60:00 disobedient you know because they weren't supposed to eat that forbidden fruit and she was in the genesis account tricked into doing so by the serpent but she ate and she gave him to eat and i got until the garden of eden allegory at this store you have a garden too and some things that are forbidden
• 60:00 - 60:30 as well worship of science i put that in there because i think people worship science i think it ought to be respected i think it ought to be reply applied appropriately but it does have limitations beatrice one of the major characters beatrice rappuccini uh the daughter um uh professor pietro baglioni they're all italian uh one of the professors uh her father dr giacomo rappatini
• 60:30 - 61:00 and giovanni the young young man last name gasconte you know and so you have good versus evil it's one of those stories where you have good versus evil you know only it's kind of ambiguous in a way because it's good in all of them and there's also a little bad in all of them pretty much like human nature beauty
• 61:00 - 61:30 versus horror well she's beautiful you know you're told that on almost on every page but this this horror you know because some people read this as a science uh science fiction story you know there are many ways of looking at this there have been all kinds of movies you know there was a movie um with vincent price in it you know and he always play you know a villain if you will up anyway in horror movies
• 61:30 - 62:00 angel versus devil now she's angelic but there's you know some bad stuff going on the idea you know the devil you know who's the devil he thought it was uh beatrice he came to giovanni some people say it's her father you know because of the things that he did experimenting on his own daughter you know angel versus
• 62:00 - 62:30 devil jealousy versus competition well we're going to show you if you read the story very carefully you'll see it where rabbitini and beckley only are more or less competing to see who is going to be the greatest scientists you know and they both uh are affiliated with the university of padua at actual school that still exists and has existed for centuries poison versus now that's a misspelling i
• 62:30 - 63:00 always have to correct that and i haven't yet written the correction antidote a-n-t-i-d-o-t-e no antidote you know because she's given an antidote to counteract the poison in her system oh i let the cat out of bed and she dies from drinking the antidote we'll explain why hope versus dread now he has hope so does she
• 63:00 - 63:30 that everything's going to work out fine but he comes to dread her gorgeous again she's gorgeous no doubt about it but fierce no that kind of occurs too because he gets kind of nasty talking to her triumph versus failure yeah is it a triumph of science or a failure you know that's ambiguous again
• 63:30 - 64:00 because one could argue that it's both is it an example of genius ingenuity genius or as an example of perversion because sometimes science can be used in a way that is perverse not good you know depends on the scientists and what they're trying to do you know any type of person will say say that you can drink uh
• 64:00 - 64:30 a poisonous substance to get rid of a virus well you be the judge dream versus illness is it a dream you know or is it illness on the part of whom well maybe giovanni you know because he does have a dream and a piece yeah and is he dreaming all of this or is the professor back leoning the issue
• 64:30 - 65:00 no one could argue now i want to look at some passages from the story itself not gonna find it because it'll be right on the page i try to i spend hours trying to get things together sometimes and i still miss things but anyway i need to have everything there hmm um let's see this is um i'm trying to figure out what pages on
• 65:00 - 65:30 um page 18. it tells me at the top so i just looked at the top page 18 near the bottom you know it's hard to mark things up in this type of environment but you can write down in your own notes let me look at page 18 again because i may end up having a quote from it when i write my essay on the final exam giovanni's kind of mad at her giovanni's rage broke forth from his sullen gloom like a lightning flash out of a dark cloud a cursed one
• 65:30 - 66:00 cried he with venomous scorn in anger now he's mad at her you know there's a you know quite a few pages before that leads up to this in finding thy solitude where are some uh thou means you you know he's using old english here i mean i old english but english from a previous century and finally i saw the two where's them thou severed me likewise from all the warmth of life and enticed me into thy region of
• 66:00 - 66:30 unspeakable horror giovanni exclaimed beatrice turning her large bright eyes upon his face the force of his words had not found his way into her mind she was merely thunderstruck yes poisonous thing repeated giovanni beside himself with passion thou hast done it's he blames her he dumps on the woman it wasn't her father was her father experiment you see and he got warnings which he didn't pay attention to i just thought i would say that thou has
• 66:30 - 67:00 blessed me thou has filled my veins with poison is that is that the way to talk to a woman you posed alive does that sound loving to you well it's kind of angry right now thou has filled my veins with poison thou has made me as hateful now he's calling her ugly you know fellas i don't advise you to do that you know you're out with the young lady you call her ugly to her face
• 67:00 - 67:30 or behind her back would be bad too thou has made me as hateful as ugly as loathsome and deadly creature as thyself a world wonder of hideous monstrosity now if our breath be happily as fatal to ourselves as to all others you know because you should breathe on stuff and then we kind of die let us join our lips in any one kiss of unutterable hatred and so die what has befallen me
• 67:30 - 68:00 murmured beatrice with a low moan out of her heart well then i want to go to another part um actually i want to get to page 20. um let's see 20. i'm going to get there first let's see it's near the bottom this is when a father enters you know they've made this into like a movie like i said before it's also been made into an opera you know
• 68:00 - 68:30 the offer is in spanish i've listened to it you know i think it's you can get it online you know like i said what can't you get online father comes my daughter said rappuccini thou are no longer lonely in the world pluck one of these precious gems from thy sister shrub and bid thy bridegroom you know he's trying to bring them together you know she had been lonely by herself in that garden and daddy said well you know she kind of
• 68:30 - 69:00 likes him and maybe he'd be all right i've got to do my experiment on him so that you know he won't uh die from being around madada if anyway they are no longer lonely in the world pluck one of those precious gems from my sister's shrub and bid thy bridegroom wear it in his bosom it will not harm him now my science and the sympathy between me and him have so wrought within his system that he now stands apart from common men
• 69:00 - 69:30 as you do thou does daughter of my pride and triumph he loves her in his own way from ordinary women pass on then to the world most dear to one another and dreadful to all besides my father said beatrice feebly and still as she spoke she kept her hand upon her heart because she's kind of fading now wherefore did thou inflict
• 69:30 - 70:00 flicked this miserable doom upon thy child see she's miserable too miserable exclaimed frappuccini what mean you foolish girl that's thou demon misery to be endowed with marvelous gifts against which no power nor strain could avail an enemy misery to be able to quell with the mightiest with the breath power how can it be miserable misery to be as terrible as thou art beautiful without then have preferred the
• 70:00 - 70:30 condition of a weak woman some people still believe this way not everyone does thank goodness in the 21st century but too many people still do don't don't don't don't put the wool over your eyes and think that everything's okay women still get paid less than men for the same job with the same level of education you know so anyway for some reason we can't envision a woman president yet got close though
• 70:30 - 71:00 misery to be able to quell the mighties with the breath misery to be as terrible as thou art beautiful without then have preferred the condition of a weak woman exposed to all evil and capable of none here's where she responded i would feign have been loved not feared murmured beatrice sinking down upon the ground well i'm going to go back to where i was
• 71:00 - 71:30 um so that when you know i just want to put it back to where it was obama page 18 yeah she's angry at her well i'm gonna look at shakespeare's definition of love next so i gotta get out of my chair [Laughter] and find it again i think that's what i wanna do um i got a map on there i don't know if i want to show you the map yet or not
• 71:30 - 72:00 i'll show it to you but uh but just not just not quite yet because i want to get to my shakespeare material here i had to have a picture of shakespeare he lived from 1564 to 1616 and this is sonnet 116. one of my favorite sonnets they shakespeare wrote and it's about love you know and um see i question
• 72:00 - 72:30 giovanni's love based on pretty much the passage i just showed you and commented on let let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments see the impediment there is the poison and beatrice which is her father's fault you know because he was experimenting on his own daughter that ain't right
• 72:30 - 73:00 as far as i'm concerned you know i don't know what you think you know but i don't think that's right you know i think that's wrong i'm moving down i'll skip around a little bit here as i go to the next thing it's just not the very next thing let me know to the marriage of true minds admit impediments love is not love with alteration finds which alters when i've left the words out which alters when it alteration
• 73:00 - 73:30 he wants to change her i don't know if you've ever been in a relationship i hope you haven't where the other individual was male or female wants to change you to suit their ideal you know that can be abuse you know some people that way you gotta address a certain guy look a certain way gotta act a certain way i don't consider that love or bends with the remover to remove he
• 73:30 - 74:00 didn't accept her as she was you know some student wrote a wonderful paper uh um where they were talking about i don't know i can't remember the subject was but but they they said um that that's not right you know you accept the person as they are and they decide if they're going to change and if they don't well if you can't accept it they said in so many ways move on i wish i had that paper in front of me it was
• 74:00 - 74:30 written this semester i forget which paper oh no it's never fix mark love is that looks on tempest that's another word for storms and is never shaken is the star to every wandering bark that's another word for boat it's like the north star who's worse unknown you can't put a price on love although his height be taken love's not time's full doesn't get old you know i know
• 74:30 - 75:00 uh a couple they've been married nearly 70 years you know they still living friends of mine you know and they just loved like they did the you know well probably more than they did on the first time that they met who's worse unknown although his height be taken love's not time's full though rosie lips and cheeks within his bending sickles compass come love alters not with his brief hours and
• 75:00 - 75:30 weeks but bears it out even to the edge of doom if this be error and upon me proved i never writ nor no man ever loved well this is what professor clifford kirkowski wrote i just lifted it out of his essay it was much longer of course than this and i read the entire essay but i like this quote because it relates to
• 75:30 - 76:00 what i'm going to be dealing with concerning beatrice rabatini beatrice was tired of being alone remember you the text says she was miserable you know and the father said you're no longer lonely in the world beatrice was tired of being lonely enclosed and secluded from everyone else and most of all she was tired of her father and his teachings
• 76:00 - 76:30 now that's his interpretation she is a tragic hero she is a victim of a cruel experiment her father created now i can show the maps map time i have two because i couldn't get everything on one mat and so i got two maps well anyway um
• 76:30 - 77:00 the story is set in italy and you can see um well giovanni comes from naples it tells that on the first page which i have not shared with you just yet uh rome is a capital city you know it's called the eternal city and then i um had another map here that's kind of hard to see this one i'm looking for padua and there it is at
• 77:00 - 77:30 the northern part of rome um northern part of italy then you can see rome again in naples i should have just you know kept this map on uh and got rid of the other one but i did something about maps that i like i like maps um let's see oh i'm not ready for that yeah did i put that on here yeah this one i want to do i don't have things in perfect order here but i want to deal with how she was
• 77:30 - 78:00 treated and the way i teach this is i just you know throw out some ideas and you just play ball with them you know hit the ball out of the park wrong with them um and you have two choices you can choose the one dealing with well how she was treated and all that and this is just not the answer to the entire the entire answer to that particular situation or the other choices you can deal with um winning being everything or not being
• 78:00 - 78:30 everything the rivalry between the two gentlemen um dr rappatini professor baglioni she is abused that's the word we would commonly use today you know i hope you watch the video or misunderstood well i forgot or mistreated probably all three abused mis treated or misunderstood by the men you know and women often in my
• 78:30 - 79:00 um experience have said men just don't understand to giovanni she's an object of beauty well she's beautiful nothing wrong with that beauty it can be a gift you know but she's not an object she's a human being he blames her for everything which you heard to back leone she could be a rival let's point it out in the story
• 79:00 - 79:30 ambiguously he thinks she might take his place well when you go back to that time period opportunities were very few for women so very much unlikely you know there may have been an exception i'm not aware of to her father she needs to be protected
• 79:30 - 80:00 yeah that's my interpretation he's keeping her isolated and locked into that garden you know and she doesn't dare leave because she's dangerous you know if you read closely you'll understand clearly why he keeps her isolated because of his experiments her touch is poisonous and then the other idea well there is competition this competition
• 80:00 - 80:30 the two gentlemen you know i keep calling them gentlemen professors baglione does not trust rapper genie rapper cheney's accomplishments are greater we're told that's in the story because he wants to be the best but he thinks that beatrice has power well in a sense she does she just doesn't use it the way the men
• 80:30 - 81:00 do so the major players hawthorne is a great american author we have a narrator who's telling the story actually telling the story his name is obi pine giovanni's landlady lizabeta giovanni is the main character a young man studying medicine you know rappuccini is a scientist with a very unusual garden and the daughter is beatrice
• 81:00 - 81:30 rabbitini and giovanni is giovanni's teacher a friend of giovanni's father i think i'm going to do a little bit more on the characters um there's a couple things i want to get to today and i don't think i'm going to get cool rabbitini just so that you understand the characters evil see evil and dominant yet protective
• 81:30 - 82:00 didn't i say that he wants to protect her from the the wolves out there you know the guys you know yeah you know fathers are very protective of their daughters often beatrice combination of good and evil the pure the poisoner system purity and corruption that's that ambiguity going on giovanni well the most ambivalent because scholars have problems with trying to
• 82:00 - 82:30 explain his character sometimes obsessively love sometimes selfishly hate you know so yeah there's a problem there i tried to show that um magnolia is ambitious and triumphing his counterpart his counterpart would be doctor ravagini now let me say i got oh i just
• 82:30 - 83:00 got a minute here to get to this next thing which i need to have on that here i may not be able to get to it but i'm gonna look forward to see if i can't in the second or so deal with it there it is make sure i have it now no sometimes he's saying
