Ready Player One hits some of the same situations as in the holocaust or for the book that we read “Night” like taking people spread out over a good area and combining them into a small dense area. They both also touch on the topic of how when someone is killed or something is blown up now one raises an eyebrow or if they do no one does anything about it.

In the film Number Our Days, Barbara Myerhoff studies a community of elderly Jews in Venice, CA. This ethnography contrasts much of Myerhoff’s earlier work and the work of many anthropologists as she studies members of her own ethnic group. This raises some interesting points since Myerhoff is not fully an “outsider” of their community. The audience likely received more information from the interviewees because Myerhoff had a greater instant rapport with them and was able to gain their trust. Furthermore, the tone of the film was made more personable as she tried to find her own identity and sense of belonging throughout her fieldwork.

“This is a terrible idea.” Percival gave a solemn shake of his head. “Absolutely terrible.”

The poem “To This Day” by Shane Koyczan is about children being bullied and hurt by others. The author is trying to say that words do hurt you, and that you never forget how they made you feel. In the picture there is debris flying around that represents everything that people have said to him and how it made him feel. People don’t just forget how they felt so all of his memories are flying around in his thoughts constantly reminding him of how people have hurt him. The man in the picture that is jumping represents escaping from all of the pain that he is feeling.

The book points out that most conduct disorders have been tied to parent-child relationships, inadequate parenting, etc. Do violent video games contribute to these disorders as well?

I liked the short story "Greyling" very much. The story by Jane Yolen was very touching and it was filled with adventure! At the beginning of the story, the fisherman and the fisherman's wife were very lonely and they wanted a baby. While fishing at the sea, the fisherman noticed a abandoned seal. When he took it home, he realized it was a selchie. The selchie could turn from seal to man. The fisherman and his wife kept the baby and raised it as their own. This part of the story made me very happy because hopefully they would't be so lonely anymore and the selchie baby named Greyling could have a happy home. Yet, the fisherman and his wife would not allow Greyling in the water because they feared he would swim away. Whenever a huge wave
