- Baseball thought of the day - “You would be
amazed how many important outs you can get by working the count down to where
the hitter is sure you’re going to throw to his weakness and then throw to his
power instead.” - Whitey Ford, whose .690 win percentage is the highest of any
pitcher with more than 200 wins since 1900

clocks, the bottle of perfume, the smiley
button
Betrayal by clocks and time
breaking things - clock ship of glass and
bottle of Nostalgia
- What else?
discarded things - smiley button
- read in connection to jokes - Comedian as
the sad and tragic clown
- C&C - THESIS and BLOCK
VS. POINT-TO-POINT
Often, for C&C, students share thesis
statements with no specifics. Remember how we have been working on essay map
all semester?
So not this:
The stories of Watchmen and Binti share
many similarities and differences in how they portray their heroes.
Even this one is not very good:
The character of Rorschach in the Watchmen novel
shares many similarities with the character of Binti in the novella by
Nnedi Okorafor.
BLECH!
HOW ABOUT?
Analyzed through the lens of Jungian
archetypes, the character of Laurie Juspeczyk in the novel Watchmen by
Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons shares many similarities with the main character of
Binti by Nnedi Okorafor in terms of the animus, the shadow, and the
Jungian-based archetypal hero’s journey.
Better! (could add WHY or SO WHAT reasons for
interp)

- Days ago = 1739 days ago
- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
