#hwa3 #storyaboutastory I find it interesting that when recounting this story she tells others that it showed her not to trust certain people. I wonder if the doctor really told her she wouldn't walk again in a malicious way, or if he told her it just wasn't likely?

I feel like the second one is more real personally because it seems to create an anti-environemtn which helps to disrupt a more normal or "realistic" way of thinking. It lets me see reality in a fixed way while the first one simply forces it #hwa3 #thetwonapoleons

Something that made me think differently about the meaning of art and performance was Kanye's sample compared to the earlier music. At first, I thought it was theft, but you explained how it was artistic appropriation instead because of the alteration of meaning. #hwa3 #thinkingdifferently

lolll i knew it would be gold digger at the end #hwa3

#hwa3 #storyaboutastory I find it interesting that out of her entire experience in the hospital and not being able to move or walk, what she pinpoints as being the worst part was the volunteers who would come to read to her. It seems like something must be missing there. Brain blocking out trauma?

"I had the absolute worst day ever today". While this can be very emotionally true for me or anyone depending on the scenario it often isn't factually true and rather than promoting facts it invokes an emotional tie that people can relate to which is a slippery slope #hwa3 #tinymemoir

Anderson's tone of voice spoke to me more than her words in some moments. The slow and quiet tone when talking about what she didn't want to remember really illustrated how traumatizing it was in the moment. #hwa3 #sonicmeaning

“I always knew exactly who my people would be.”

this is factually false because I couldn’t have known that at the time, but it feels true because looking back makes it seem almost inevitable. Its a performance cuz I’m reshaping the memory based on how I understand it now. #hwa3 #tinymemoir

the way she tells her narrative really pulls the listener in.. idk what it is about it, maybe her tone, but it feels like she's bringing u back to the moment so we could imagine it happening w/ the most detail possible cuz i definitely am imagining it! #hwa3 #storyaboutastory

#hwa3 #storyaboutastory So far, her vocal tone and pacing has not really changed as she's telling the story. Small background elements are added like children in the background when she's talking about her family or a small "boom" when she recounts hitting the concrete. I find it a little spooky!

also, the music is kinda eerie in the background - its a sort of sci-fi synth remixer audio type thing.. it's giving off an ominous feeling #hwa3 #storyaboutastory

one thing I’ve imagined into being “real” is the idea that I need to have everything figured out by a certain point in my life. HWA #3 helped me realize how much of what feels real is actually something we create and the way we perform and imagine ourselves #hwa3 #imaginedintoreality

omg she broke her back -- the "boom" onomatopoeia definitely plays a part in the storytelling #hwa3 #storyaboutastory

when something feels "real" I feel as though it connects back to something we have felt or experienced ourselves, and it comes with genuine and vulnerable emotions #hwa3

A genre I am ready to jailbreak is honestly either nonfiction and how it's not just telling the truth, or comedy, and how we use humor as a way to distract from reality #hwa3 #jailbreakinggenre

I think her forgetting the story as she told it was her mind erasing and adding details as it saw fit to make the story more beneficial for her. Kind of like how she said she didn't want to remember the horror of the hospital because of how rough of an experience it was. #hwa3 #forgettingandtelling

time to jailbreak the “coming-of-age” genre. It usually makes growing up seem like this clear journey where everything eventually makes sense in one moment but in actuality the experience feels way more random and unfinished with no definite definfing moment #hwa3 #jailbreakinggenre

I think that you are going to connect how Wiley's painting connects to McLuhan through its traditional portrait style and how the changes he makes changes the way we view Napoleon and his importance/power #hwa3

One thing that I've definitely imagined into being real is the political polarization being so bad that you can't talk to another person without an extreme reaction, even though that's what the media tells us. #hwa3 #imaginedintoreality

Kanye's "Gold Digger" doesn't fall completely in the lines of theft because he did sample it and give(?) the og band credit (i'd hope so), so i'd consider it homage because he's honoring the band but also mixing his own pizzazz into the piece he released #hwa3 #sampling
