If Aristotle is right and our social media feeds is what we think is real than my reality is definitely more limited and pessimistic than it probably should be. Negativity and pessimism is easy to get clicks in media but love and hope should be more in our lives #hwa3 #feedreflection

when something feels “real,” I think we usually mean it feels believable or genuine to us or represents something that we've experience in our lives. It can come from emotions, situations, or even the way something is presented to us #hwa3

One message that felt "real" to me was someone singing a choir song that I sung back in highschool but in a different style than when I performed it. Not only was it interesting seeing the mimetics of that but it resonated with me because of my experiences #hwa3 #itfeltrealbecause

I have enough time to study for my Orgo exam. In reality, I pushed it a little too far, but I believe in my ability to cram, so I can make it happen. Even though it isn't factually true, I feel strongly about it, so I can "stage" it to be true. #hwa3 #tinymemoir

"time flies by when you're having fun" genuinely makes me feel so sick to the stomach, so much so that it feels false, but so happy (emotionally true)-- it's performance-based because it's said sm & such a bittersweet feeling knowing time is passing by but i'm actually enjoying. #hwa3 #tinymemoir

Definitely, Wiley's version feels more real. Throughout history, black art, influence, and power have been minimized. His interpretation feels like a part of history has been restored. #hwa3 #thetwonapoleons

Every time Anderson told the story, she was remembering how she told it last time and what she said. not the actual fall. Each time she retold the story it changed, so parts slowly dropped out. The story became the memory and because of that she missed a few points

If we're true mimetic beings than Wiley's painting definitely feels more real as it is an inspiration and wanting to use that message to lift up their voice is definitely a true use of mimetics #hwa3 #thetwonapoleons

hwa3 has helped me understand this process better because there's no set line b/w fiction and nonfiction.. because the memory is nonfiction.. it actually happened, but in my head or in reality is the question.. #hwa3

i thinkkk you are going to say that Wiley’s Napoleon painting connects to McLuhan because the way Wiley uses the traditional portrait style, but changes the subject and background, affects how we see Napoleon’s power and importance. The way it’s presented is part of the message. #hwa3

one thing i've imagined into being real is my own memory events. sometimes, i think back to an event and can't remember if something actually happened or if i'm thinking wrong about it either from someone else's perspective based on the words they said or my own emotions #hwa3 #imaginedintoreality

I'm trying to tweet more tbh #hwa3

Something I've imagined into reality is various ambitions. I wanted to join an IM basketball team and get better, so I thought about it and made it happen. I've learned that reality is what can reflect with so my passion became my reality. #hwa3 #imaginedintoreality

a genre that i wanna jailbreak is documentaries -- why you might ask? it's because there are so many behind-the-scenes events that we don't see, and though they try to show as much as possible on screen, there's still so much more to reality than what we see on screen #hwa3 #jailbreakinggenre

uhhh.. actually no idea what you're going to say next #hwa3

looking at the painting makes me feel kind of intrigued and conflicted. it still has that powerful, almost intimidating feeling of a traditional portrait, but the way Wiley reimagines it makes me look at some clashing aspects. it feels familiar but also unexpected. #hwa3 #wileyfeelings

Honestly, the painting didn't really move me. I guess I am intrigued about this interpretation, but not enough to do research. I'm a bit intrigued because I'm wondering what inspired this painting and why Wiley decided to make it his own. #hwa3 #wileyfeelings

Her voice is so calming in the start that nobody can feel what is coming next and then she says she broke her back, that took me by surprise. Her voice was following a rhythm that is why I could not predict that what she said next would be so negative.

true true! memory is definitely something that's exercised! it can be improved or can be worsened based on what you do with it -- i like this simile! #hwa3

one small detail that most people would overlook is the fact that the designs in the background overlap with the foreground, almost disrupting the main subject #hwa3 #onesmalldetail
