He did this because he didn’t want the attention on the internet. He also wanted to forget about it. Another piece of evidence the book states on (79) “ Bryson did not go to school today” This shows that he wanted to get away from the attention people were giving him. These quotes show that he responded to being bullied by ignoring the other people and just thinking about something else. …show more content…

In Clive Thompson’s essay, “Smarter Than You Think”, he argues that computers and search engines such as Google actually improve our memory and therefore our ability to analyze information. Thompson bases his theory on the concept of Transactive memory, a social system in which information is shared collectively in a group, with different people assigned key pieces of that information to remember. In Thompson’s opinion, the internet has become that “collective memory” for the people that use it, storing and dispensing knowledge and details more efficiently and accurately than any human could. Though he admits that when humans store information on a computer we’re less likely to personally recall it, he persists that historically human beings

Grand and Robert E. Lee, but also describes their surprising similarities.

This also shows that showing courage can lead to good things because even though Emmett’s courage killed him many argue that he was the start of the civil rights movement. Another piece of evidence that shows how Emmett showed courage was “Miliam claimed that even after the beatings, Emmett showed no remorse for what he had done at Bryant’s Market.” (Crowe 62). This shows that it is hard to show courage because even though Emmett was beaten he still stood up for himself and never backed down from his murderers. This also shows that showing courage can lead to good things because even though it lead to Emmett being more beaten if he had not stood up for himself they probably would have killed him earlier or let him go and he would not have been beaten as much and his death would not have been as much of a big deal causing the civil rights movement to maybe not even

At first I thought responding to other student’s writing means to reply with feedback but as I go further towards the reading it is actually more than just feedback. Certain points that I took from Richard Straub’s reading is how a responder should act as a friend rather than a teacher when responding, must not respond short and sweet, what to address in the comments and must praise and criticize. His suggestions are key strategies that must be followed in order to achieve progress as a responder. In “Responding-Really Responding-to other students’ writing” by Richard Straub’s offers ways for readers to approach a student’s paper, therefore, achieving the responders mission towards helping the writer make better decisions when writing a good paper.
