Summary Of Annotating Berry's 'The Fashion Industry'
In annotating Berry's "The Fashion Industry", like you I had to go back and think in a different light. My writing style I believe to be quite different than Berry's, therefore utilizing annotations helped me to analyze the paragraphs within the essay in more depth/understanding, while also strengthening my opinion. I believe there is a fine line between note taking and annotating and can easily see the misconception you speak of. I must watch myself more closely and ask myself, did I just write a note or a worthwhile annotation? I hope to find the use of annotating helpful not only within this class, but other classes whose material differs from my experience and area of

    The tone of the essay: "HOW TO MARK A BOOK" by Mortimer J. Adler (1902-2001) is serious. I can infer from this serious tone about  Mortimer J. Adler’s emotional relationship to books that someone has to read between the lines in order to completely comprehend the reading. With that being said, someone has to write between the lines. With that being the case, if someone doesn't write between the lines, they're not reading the most efficient. In addition, no one should mark a book that isn't theirs. …

    Everybody had dreams and aspirations, however those things never always go as planned. This happens to the characters in the play, A Raisin in the Sun. The play was written by Lorraine Hansburry, and it was the first Broadway play written by an African American woman. In the play, the Younger family, a family of five, live in a small two-bedroom apartment in Chicago. Mama, Lena, is about to receive an insurance check from her husband's death in the mail and has to decide what she is going to do with it. The check is seen as a beacon of hope to change their family's lives and make it much easier. Lena's son, Walter, wants to use it to leave his old job as a chauffer for a white man and invest in a liquor store, while Lena's daughter, Beneatha, wants to use it to help pay for her education to become a doctor. In the end, Mama entrusts some money to Walter and decides to buy a house in a white neighborhood to better accommodate their family because Walter's son had been sleeping on the living room couch. Walter's wife, Ruth, also goes through her own problems when she learns that she is expecting another child in a household that is already having a hard time getting by. A Raisin in the Sun is a great play that encompasses many themes of the African American working class culture in the United States. The play goes over important themes such as family, dreams, gender, race, and suffering, and A Raisin in the Sun connects all these themes to each other some way or another.…

    My annotation examines the traditional social order of southern white men as well as the principles of white supremacy. In chapter 7, Chesnutt examines these elements through the conservations between Dr. Price, Dr. Burns, and Major Carteret concerning Dr. Miller’s assistance in the operation. In this argument, the reader is able to see and contrast the perspectives of a northern liberal white man and the perspective of southern white supremacist. Because I have studied in the past the origin of race and because I currently study the functions of race in present day, I found this portion of the novel to be very interesting. The passage highlights several situations that I had not yet had the time to delve into before reading the novel, such…

    John A. Moretta, a history teacher at the University of Houston, wrote the book William Penn and the Quaker Legacy which was a biography that told the tale of William Penn but reminded its readers that Penn was a legend and hero according to http://www.uh.edu/honors/about/faculty-staff/john-moretta.php, . According to Moretta, Penn produced a Founding Father image and to him Penn “shaped the American creed and ideal” (pg.xi). In my opinion, the reason John A. Moretta wrote the book was because he wanted the world to see Jr. William Penn as the Quaker Legend that he still is today and to show a more in-depth biography of the story of William Penn. Moretta wanted to write the book too because he wanted to talk about this historical individual who made an impact on his personal life. He was qualified to write the book because of his experience as a degreed history instructor. William Penn and the Quaker Legacy reminds people today who the man on the oatmeal container is and defines Quakerism.…

    The poem, “The Empty Dance Shoes”, by Cornelius Eady uses similes and allusions to show that nothing will happen in life unless you take action. Eady suggests that life is comparable to an empty pair of dance shoes, and further compares it with other inanimate objects such as a wart, a leaf, a rock, and a clown lying on its back. The fact that the poem features dancing shoes rather than ordinary shoes is significant because of the author’s musical background and love of blues music. Music is a central theme in many of his other works, along with the struggle African Americans face, and family.…

    “Dress as an expression of the pecuniary culture” (1899) expresses Thorstein Veblen’s view on the issue of the representation and abuse of dress in his society. Veblen tries to answer a very important question that, even over a century later, we still ask ourselves. Why do we spend more than we need to on clothes? Veblen views this phenomenon through an economic lens, which allows us to gain a different insight into the motive of dress. What makes Veblen an interesting read is how many of his claims surrounding this question ring true and remain applicable to this day and society. For instance, Veblen tries to explain why people participate in “wasteful consumption” (1899, P.339) using…

    Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan woman who could possibly be the first feminist. “The Prologue” was written to introduce her other works but she also used this opportunity to express her feelings of oppression by men and the Puritan beliefs. She uses sarcasm and a critical tone to make her points. Though many have supposed that this poem was a confession that Bradstreet felt the same way about her poetry, in reality it was a slap in the face to the men of the time as she claimed her right to use her skills and knowledge to write poetry in a time when women were expected to hold a needle and not a pen.…
