Reflections on a Pandemic Thoughts, Considerations, Poems, Philosophies & Understandings REFLECTIONS ON A PANDEMIC THOUGHTS, CONSIDERATIONS, POEMS, PHILOSOPHIES & UNDERSTANDINGS NOELLE BIEHLE intin awingI 1 Open with INTRODUCTION The coronavirus pandemic has changed us all. No one could have predicted the ways in which we would become different, in our outlooks, our physical living conditions, and in the ways we connect (or don’t) with each other. Towards the end of April, I sent our seventh graders a collection of questions, created by the organization Facing History and Ourselves. The same organization created an activity called “Toolbox for Care,” in which students we asked to put together a collection of items for both self-care and care for others. What follows is their thoughts and ideas during the time of quarantine. Thank you, Noelle, for your breathtaking art! Frieda Katz At this time where there is a worldwide pandemic spreading fear and anguish across the globe, pain is unavoidable. It can be the mental pain of losing a family member, friends or physical pain where the virus has gotten to you. The pain can also be subtle, such as missing friends who are trapped inside their homes like 2 yourself. This pain is a reflection of how human interaction is vital for people to survive through life. Distress can cause depression or stressing about education, work, sports or health. The corona virus has brought more stress around the world than anything else my generation has seen. The serenity of isolation, Alone on a hill of daisies, As bright as the sun blinding my eyes, Forcing them to close, and eventually relax under the heat, My feet brushing against the grass, Filled with warmth but at the same time, Swaying to the rhythm of the autumn’s breeze, If only this was real, Such peace, No wars or diseases or death, Coming from behind, And grabbing your loved ones from your shaking arms, Not looking back once too see the pain it's brought, To a broken world, Never perfect, Never will be perfect. Emily Vidal I used to play this game with my best friend Zoe. We were at summer camp and it was a game we played in the pool. This is how it went. We would make up our own choreography in the pool and would do 3 backflips and a cartwheel. Those are just examples, but it made me feel like we could do anything. I know it's weird, but that's just how I felt. I hope people say that I’m a nice person, but overall, I don’t really care what people say about me. I just hope that if anyone is having problems they feel they can come to me. I am grateful for my friends and family. I will never stop saying this, but my friends, family and cats are the most important things to me. I’m thankful for them always being with me. I really like the change to remote learning. I’m getting a lot more sleep than I used to and I’m eating breakfast, so I’m not hungry in the morning anymore. Some positive things that have happened are that I get to have more time with my family. I can focus on my self-esteem more and be more confident in myself. I’m scared that I’m going to get it, but I’m not scared of dying because everyone dies in the end. I’m more afraid of how I’m going to die. I’m scared that it will be painful and lonely. For example, if I’m out shopping and all of sudden I can’t breathe because of corona, then I don't know if anyone would help me. The thing I miss most is, obviously, my friends. I miss them so much that sometimes all I want to do is cry, but I don’t because I know that one day I’ll be able to see them. I just have to be patient. 3 I think a lot of people will be more aware of what they have and not take it for granted. We took fresh air for granted or being able to touch the people you love. Quarantine changed me. I get to hang out with my family more, but then we get into a lot more fights, so it's bad and good. I’ve noticed that we never really communicate with each other. We don’t really have a lot of conversations. I've noticed that I don’t have a lot of self-confidence. I don’t really know how to be confident, so during quarantine I've been trying to build my confidence up. I miss my friends, fresh air, bubble tea, freedom, and hugs. I won’t take them for granted by doing them every second of every day. I have kind of grown apart from some of my friends from school, but there are still a lot of people I’m friends with. Someone told me that I looked pretty and they made me feel happy. I would like to tell someone else how pretty they are so they can feel as happy as I was. Beyonce inspires me because she never stops trying, even if everyone is bringing her down. She just keeps going on. We have been Facetiming and texting our relatives and it's the same with my friends. Keith Johnson Beyblades was one of my favorite games to play when I was little. One memory I have of playing the game was when I spun them so hard that when they collided with one another they cracked. It made me feel free because I could forget about all my other problems. I hope people say that I light up a room. The reason why is because it will allow me to make friends easier. I also hope they say I'm good at making people laugh. Today I feel like I'm trying to survive to see the next. My boredom has grown immensely ever since I haven't been able to see my friends in person and play sports with them. I’m grateful for the roof over my head and being able to wake up every day. I think people will be more aware of their health. I’m always tired for no reason. My family has been a lot more agitated towards me. At school I used to talk to Callen a lot. Now I rarely speak with him. Distance learning has been exhausting. A challenge is waking up on time every day. We end early. I have discovered that I am always tired. I haven’t eaten breakfast in a month. 4 In 50 years, I will say this was a pandemic that stopped our social lives. During this time, we were very bored. We felt that there was nowhere to go, that every day was no different from the last. We felt that we were going to be unfit if this kept up. Every time we do martial arts, we end up out of breath. This weekend you sent me a wonderful note. Anybody who makes their dreams a reality I admire. Thank you, mother, for being there for me. Thank you for waking me up before school started almost every day. If not for you I would be late to school every day. It has made my family more cautious of other people that may or may not have coronavirus. My community now consists of masks and gloves on the daily. ______________________________________________________________________________ Nolia Dorset I hope people say I’m a good friend, someone who is there for others, reliable, and trustworthy. These are the most important things to me. Today I feel sad because I don’t want camp to be canceled. I am grateful that all my family and friends are healthy. I am happy that no one has corona, or any other illness. My daily routine has changed a lot. I now get to wake up at 8:30 instead of 7:15 on the weekdays, which is amazing! School starts later and ends earlier, which I am so happy about! Why can’t it always be like this?! Now we have to be on Zoom, which is kind of weird. It’s not bad, just different. I’m okay with this change, though I’d rather have things back to normal. I am very bored at home. – there’s my six-word memoir. This is significant because this is how I feel every day. It’s boring to not see people, it’s not fun. This represents my experience because this is all that it is. Being bored all the time, staying home, not getting to do anything. This is how I've felt through the entire quarantine. It sucks and I’m ready for it to be over. Some positive things about physical distancing is that people are learning to be more independent. They are forced to be alone, so they have to figure out how to cope. Also, everyone's relationships will grow stronger because they realize how much they need each other. Some negative things are that we miss our friends/family a lot. You don’t notice how much you need someone until you can’t see them anymore. Another negative is that when we're sad, it's hard for our friends to comfort us because they’re not here. The fear I am experiencing right now is the fear that someone I love will get sick. I don’t want anyone to contract the virus, especially people who have had pre-existing conditions.

  • As Far As Her Eyes Are Good
    As far as her eyes are good Essays on the political duality of domestic embroidery Ludovica Colacino To Angelina Scarpino, Teresina D’amico, and Concetta Mastroianni. 4 Introduction At the entrance to my home, on the left-hand side, an old, heavy, wooden chest of drawers acts as a small family altar. Amongst the framed photographs and décor atop it, a traditional Neapolitan miniature figure of a hunched old man guards the door to protect the house from the evil eye. It’s dressed in traditional Neapolitan clothes and is adorned with symbols to keep the bad luck away. A red horn, the number thirteen, and a horseshoe dangle from its belt and cloves of garlic sit on the brim of his hat. My mother bought it whilst on holiday in Naples; I remember in the shop I asked her why she was buying it, as we are from Calabria — it somehow felt like we were subscribing to a different set of beliefs. She explained that those charms of good luck are the same across the regions, especially in the South of Italy.1 Back in my family’s household, far from Naples and the South at large, in Piedmont, a region at the Northern end of the Country, the Neapolitan guardian on the comò 2 shows the amulets, peremptory shielding the family and the house — but, most immediately, secretly guarding the embroidered linens and cottons right beneath it, resting, folded, within the furnishing. My mother’s corredo 3 for the dining room makes the heart of the chest of drawers.

    The Things They Carried By Tim O’Brien The Things They Carried First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried letters from a girl named Martha, a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey. They were not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack. In the late afternoon, after a day's march, he would dig his foxhole, wash his hands under a canteen, unwrap the letters, hold them with the tips of his fingers, and spend the last hour of light pretending. He would imagine romantic camping trips into the White Mountains in New Hampshire. He would sometimes taste the envelope flaps, knowing her tongue had been there. More than anything, he wanted Martha to love him as he loved her, but the letters were mostly chatty, elusive on the matter of love. She was a virgin, he was almost sure. She was an English major at Mount Sebastian, and she wrote beautifully about her professors and roommates and midterm exams, about her respect for Chaucer and her great affection for Virginia Woolf. She often quoted lines of poetry; she never mentioned the war, except to say, Jimmy, take care of yourself. The letters weighed 10 ounces. They were signed Love, Martha, but Lieutenant Cross understood that Love was only a way of signing and did not mean what he sometimes pretended it meant. At dusk, he would carefully return the letters to his rucksack. Slowly, a bit distracted, he would get up and move among his men, checking the perimeter, then at full dark he would return to his hole and watch the night and wonder if Martha was a virgin.

  • Subjugation IV
    Subjugation 4 Tribulation by Fel (aka James Galloway) ToC 1 To: Title ToC 2 Chapter 1 Koira, 18 Toraa, 4401, Orthodox Calendar Wednesday, 28 January 2014, Terran Standard Calendar Koira, 18 Toraa, year 1327 of the 97th Generation, Karinne Historical Reference Calendar Foxwood East, Karsa, Karis Amber was starting to make a nuisance of herself. There was just something intrinsically, fundamentally wrong about an insufferably cute animal that was smart enough to know that it was insufferably cute, and therefore exploited that insufferable cuteness with almost ruthless impunity. In the 18 days since she’d arrived in their house, she’d quickly learned that she could do virtually anything and get away with it, because she was, quite literally, too cute to punish. Fortunately, thus far she had yet to attempt anything truly criminal, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t abuse her cuteness. One of the ways she was abusing it was just what she was doing now, licking his ear when he was trying to sleep. Her tiny little tongue was surprisingly hot, and it startled him awake. “Amber!” he grunted incoherently. “I’m trying to sleep!” She gave one of her little squeaking yips, not quite a bark but somewhat similar to it, and jumped up onto his shoulder. She didn’t even weigh three pounds, she was so small, but her little claws were like needles as they kneaded into his shoulder. He groaned in frustration and swatted lightly in her general direction, but the little bundle of fur was not impressed by his attempts to shoo her away.

  • Teaching the Media with Mouse Woman: Adventures in Imaginative Education
    Teaching the Media with Mouse Woman: Adventures in Imaginative Education by Kymberley Stewart M.A., Simon Fraser University, 2004 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Curriculum Theory & Implementation Program Faculty of Education Kymberley Stewart 2014 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2014 Approval Name: Kymberley Stewart Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (Education) Title: Teaching the Media with Mouse Woman: Adventures in Imaginative Education Examining Committee: Chair: Allan MacKinnon Associate Professor Mark Fettes Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Kieran Egan Supervisor Professor Michael Ling Supervisor Senior Lecturer Lynn Fels Internal/External Examiner Associate Professor Faculty of Education David Jardine External Examiner Professor Faculty of Education University of Calgary Date Defended: August 20, 2014 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract Concerns have been expressed for decades over the impact of an increasingly media-saturated environment on young children. Media education, however, occupies a somewhat marginal place in compulsory schooling, and its theorists and practitioners have given relatively little attention to the question of how to teach the media to elementary school children. This question is explored through an auto-ethnography and métissage spanning more than twenty years of media use, media studies, and media education. Three shifts in emphasis are particularly central to the thesis. The first is a shift from a protectionist to a more open, albeit critical stance with respect to children‘s media use. The second is a shift from conceiving of media education in terms of a pre-packaged curriculum towards the co-construction of learning experiences with the students, guided by Egan‘s theory of imaginative education.

  • Music Preferences: a Gateway to Where? by Delia Regan
    Music Preferences: A Gateway to Where? Delia Regan Anna Maria College Author’s Note Delia Regan (‘21), Music Therapy Honor Student, Anna Maria College This thesis was prepared for HON 490-01 Seniors Honors Seminar under the instruction of Professor Travis Maruska, Associate Professor of Humanities, Anna Maria College. Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed by electronic mail. Contact: [email protected], [email protected] ​ ​ ​ 1 Abstract This paper discusses the impact of peer pressure on shared music preferences which was conducted through a survey and group interviews. The information on the development of music preferences provides the reader with background on how the music preference process begins. Peer pressure is also discussed from early childhood into adulthood. The solidification of music preferences happens around the same age as college-aged individuals, which overlaps with a decrease in the impact of peer pressure. The research focuses on college-aged individuals who completed a survey on their music preferences in individual and group settings, and then were put into groups to determine if a social setting would influence their responses to the same questions. Overall, a distinct relationship between peer pressure and music preference could not be made. Keywords: College-Aged, Group Cohesion, Music, Music Preference, Peer Pressure, ​ Social Consequence 2 Music Preferences What does music taste say about a person? Music is usually a part of daily life, whether people are aware of it or not. It can help people express themselves, regulate their emotions, and, when used clinically, can help a person regain the ability to walk. Music is powerful, but what draws people to it? Studies have been done to try and determine why people are attracted to music, and they have created multiple theories trying to answer this question.
