After watching the Randy Pausch speech, I have gained a better understanding of what it is like to experience flow. Randy Pausch lived his life dedicated and fully immersed in all of his goals. Whether it was to become the guy at amusement park that won the big stuffed animals or being able to get into Brown University; he did everything to the best of his ability. Although he did not necessarily accomplish his childhood goal, he received greater lessons by not doing so. In trying to achieve his childhood goal, he came to understand that his abilities may not allow him to become an NFL player.
Artists Ana Koh-Varilla and Jeffrey Varilla imbue their Martin Luther King, Jr. statue with a sense of community and social progress, residing outside in the center of East Mall since 1999. However, George Segal’s Blue Woman in Black Chair, created in 1981, presents an introspective message on internal boldness and outer vulnerability, telling its story in a corner within the Blanton Museum of Art. Comparing how each piece makes use of scale, subject matter, and style gives deeper insight into the expressive content intended by its respective creator(s). Both works take advantage of scale; Ana Koh-Varilla and Jeffrey Varilla use a larger than life form to create a sense of guidance and authority, while Segal places dominance in the viewer

For this week’s discussion, I instantly thought of my grandfather during World War II saving the lives of his crew in the south pacific, my mother as my childhood hero, and of course all those action movie heros. I decided to choose an every day “hero”, the kind that truly defines what it means to be a hero. The story and clip I found is a combination of the movie clips and the story of Anthony T. Kaho’ohanohano. It is about a man that swam for five hours to save the lives of four members of his family. He willing put his life at risk, because he knew that it was what needed to be done.
In this text Jonathan Kozol went to a school that is really not a school because of what they do to there students just to get them to graduate. The students that Jonathan interviews tell him what they go through everyday just to graduate. They explain to him that the school system really doesn’t care about these students not even the teachers, if the teachers where ever there to see these students. Some students wanted to take AP classes so that they have an idea of what college will be like but never get in the class because “it fills up”. Even if these students entered these classes they had a probability that they wouldn’t have a teacher for that course.

Akoyia Savado, I also tend to ramble on in my essays. I find it quite simple to move away from a topic and start on a new subject. This must mean that we are good at small talk. Time is difficult for you and I both.
Kenji Yoshino is and Asian-American openly gay law professor who wrote about covering as a gay man and throughout other minority groups. Throughout his book he elaborates on the forced covering he had to deal with to fit in. After Yoshino first “came out” gay, he was not one to flaunt “being gay”. He was considered a gay who covered who he was and he believed there were four ways a gay could cover: appearance, affiliation, activism, and association. Yoshino believed the appearance-based covering, is to assume gay men as being feminine, which is a stereotypically association.
