“Seeing Ourselves” by Arthur Gottleib is an opened form poem that consists of four no rhyming quintains with the exception of the last stanza. The subject focuses on a complicated relationship between a man and a woman. In the poem, the speaker is a man who is having trouble with his love life. The theme of this poem is that one can only fight and battle so much for something they love before they meet the end and give up. The tone begins in frustration mixed with sadness, but in the end switches to hopelessness and gloom. At this point, the speaker has realized that he has been ‘fighting’ for a lost cause.
In “Ways of Seeing”, John Berger, an English art critic, argues that images are important for the present-day by saying, “No other kind of relic or text from the past can offer such direct testimony about the world which surrounded other people at other times. In this respect images are more precise and richer literature” (10). John Berger allowed others to see the true meaning behind certain art pieces in “Ways of Seeing”. Images and art show what people experienced in the past allowing others to see for themselves rather than be told how an event occurred. There are two images that represent the above claim, Arnold Eagle and David Robbins’ photo of a little boy in New York City, and Dorothea Lange’s image of a migratory family from Texas; both were taken during the Great Depression.

Many researchers have sought out an explanation for the mysteries hidden within our brain and how it operates. Recent studies have shown that the brain functions more as a muscle allowing it to continue to grow or contract. If these studies prove to be true, this could forever change how people interact or associate with their brains.
In the book The Invisible Spotlight, Craig Wasserman and Doug Katz write that all managers work in the danger of an invisible spotlight, where actions are scrutinized by their own employees. What is more fascinating, the managers do not even suspect this is really happening. Consequently, future leaders underestimate the influence of the particular events that are in the core of the structure of the business. The book is easy to read and understand, as Wasserman and Katz present their own examples, which make the ideas clearer. The unrevealed spotlight of their weaknesses and strengths are revealed in the book. Every single situation may be found in the realities of management.
Mather neglected to include Bridget Bishop’s side of the story on purpose. In 1962, Mather wrote a book titled The Wonders of the Invisible World. He wrote the document in an organized and professional manner so that it could be credited it as an official record and taken seriously. Inside of this book was a section titled “The Tryal of Bridget Bishop”, which specifies the events that took place during Bridget Bishop’s trial (Walker). Mather writes in detail about the case of Bridget Bishop in order to provide an account of the outrageous ways in which the Salem Witch Trials were conducted. Although Cotton Mather includes direct quotations from many different individuals and recounts their accusations with great care, he does not pay tribute to the words of Bridget Bishop herself during her own trial. In “The Tryal of Bridget Bishop”, Cotton Mather omitted Bishop’s own rebuttals and responses because he did not find it necessary to include them; he had all the evidence he needed to make the court system look guilty of injustice.

In the most famous experiment, the invisible gorilla, showed how oblivious we can be. To start off, people were asked to count how many passes between the players in white shirts had, ignoring the players in the black shirts. For half of the participants, a giant gorilla walked onto the court without anyone noticing. A monstrous, distinct gorilla was gone unnoticed because it was not expected or focused on. This experiment proves to us as readers that our minds put us in situations
In the “Invisible Child” written by Andrea Elliot, a lifestyle of a homeless girl named Dasani and her family is shown. Elliot displays Dasani’s culture, and some of the struggles that she and her family face daily because they are homeless. Dasani is very dedicated to her school work. She wants to be better than anyone in her family ever was so she doesn’t have to worry about being homeless for the rest of her life. In some ways I can relate to Dasani, I am very passionate about my school work as well. I want to excel so I can be my very best in the future. However, our reasoning’s for wanting to be the best we can be are a little different. She wants to excel so she no longer has to worry about being homeless whereas I’ve never been homeless so I cannot say the exact same. I grew up being a very privileged kid. Both of my parents worked full time good paying jobs. I’ve never had to want for much of anything. My parents have always spoiled me with nice things, they have always made sure my siblings and I had nice clothes and a decent meal to eat. They are even paying for me to attain a college education. Dasani and her family however are a lot different from mine. In the “Invisible Child” Elliot tells us how Dasani’s parents do not have legit jobs, instead they have side “hustles” that only bring in a few dollars. Elliot states (2013) that a lot of mornings Dasani was starving at school because she had no breakfast. Dasani and her siblings also had to wear clothes that were

The Struggle for an Invisible Man Ellison’s Invisible man is about a man who struggles to find his place in a racist society. His character goes on a plummet from being forced to literally fight to get into college, to being kicked out of the college. After that he moved to the city but was not finding a job he could keep. Then he became a part of the brotherhood, where he was making speeches for the black society. Throughout all of this, Ellison makes the character go through an identity crisis where he faces extreme stereotypes that go against who the character is trying to be, yet strangely also represent his life in a way. As said in an essay, “Invisible Man is full of symbols that reinforce the oppressive power of white society.”(Free) It is my belief that one of Ellison’s main themes of the book is finding individuality in racism. Another theme that I would want to look into is letting other peoples thoughts hold you down. Through Ellison’s use of symbols, metaphors, and thought provoking writing style, the book has many sections that help sort through these two themes.
“Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant – in the blink of an eye – that actually aren’t as simple as they seem. The book deals with the smallest components of our everyday lives—the content and origin of those instantaneous impressions and conclusions that spontaneously arise whenever we meet a new person or confront a complex situation or have to make a decision under conditions of stress.
They were set from the day you were born, influencing every physical trait about you; whether you were tall or short, the color of your hair, eyes and skin tone. But now, genes have been found able to be flexible for some change. Instead of just settling on the outcome of the “genetic lottery” (Singer, xx), we now have the ability to determine our own characteristics through gene therapy, the treatment that replaces a defective gene with a normal one to cure genetic disorders.
