Week 2- Intro to Humanities

Personal Thoughts on Learning 

Weekly Questions:

  1. What is your story?


My Story?

     When I think about my story, I know I can say anything and everything about when I was little, but as in my whole story... I don't know; it's just starting. I have no idea what my story is or who is writing it, but good Lord, sometimes I could use a break.  I don't know what my story is yet. I know what I want it to be and what it would look like on paper, but I will only know for a while. However, I would want it written down in a book if I had to write my own story. I want it to smell like a good old find in a library. It would have a dark blue cover, spine, and back. My name would be written on the front in curvy white lettering. 

    I want my story to be filled with happy stories, not sad ones, but everyone knows that sad moments are there to break you down and build you back up stronger than before. I've had a lot of sadness, but it makes me stronger. I still have my days where I find myself looking up, asking, why? I want my story to be full of helping others and having many furry loved ones running around. I am talking about dogs, I promise :) 

    So, the truth is I'm not sure what my story is yet, but when I figure it out, I hope I'm happy and loved.

    This is beautiful! You are an optimist and yet a realist as well.

Week 13

  Sunday, November 19, 2023 Week 13- Intro to Humanities Music Weekly Questions: What do we mean when we refer to music as the universal language? What is music? How is this different from sound? Why do people listen to music? Music           When we refer to music as the universal language, we mean that music has the ability to transcend language and cultural barriers. It has the power to evoke emotions, communicate ideas, and connect people from different backgrounds and parts of the world. People often understand and appreciate music regardless of their native language or cultural upbringing, making it a universal form of expression.  Music is a form of artistic expression that combines various elements such as melody, rhythm, harmony, and lyrics to create an organized and intentional arrangement of sounds. It typically involves instruments, vocals, and structured compositions.      On the other hand, sound refers to any audible ...

Week 7- Intro to Humanities Reflective Learning

   Wednesday, October 4, 2023 Week 7- Intro to Humanities Literature Weekly Questions: How is literature like life? What is literature supposed to do? What influences a writer to create? Language      Literature can be like life because it reflects the human experience, with its joys and struggles, in a way that resonates with readers. It explores themes such as love, loss, friendship, and growth, mirroring the complexities and emotions we encounter in our own lives. Additionally, literature offers insights and perspectives that can broaden our understanding of the world, much like the way life itself presents us with opportunities to learn and grow.       Literature is supposed to entertain, educate, and inspire readers. It allows us to explore different perspectives, cultures, and emotions. Literature can also serve as a mirror to society, reflecting the human condition and offering valuable insights into the world around us. Ultimately, li...

Week 12- Intro to Humanities Reflective Learning

  Sunday, November 12, 2023 Week 11- Intro to Humanities Performing Arts/Music Weekly Questions: Describe a LIVE event you attended. Was it more moving than what you would have experienced had you viewed the play at home or listened to the music in your car or on headphones? What else do you get at a live event that you don't get from recorded versions of the same performances? My First Concert     The first concert I ever attended was Taylor Swift with my dad. I think I was 10 or 11 at the time, and I can remember standing in the crowd feeling awestruck. How everyone in the crowd seemed to follow her every move was cool. My dad got the tickets last minute, which was a good thing, too, because we ended up in the front row, and I got to see Ed Sheeran too. It was definitely better than listening to my earbuds and watching her on a screen.      At a live event, you get the immersive experience of being in the same space as the performers, witnessing their tal...
