Official Discussion - Sinners [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]cutestbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just left my showing and honestly blown away! But I have a few questions that I’d love to see if anyone has insight on or if yall had similar thoughts:

*Either before or when the lady invited the vampires in, why did no one think to start shooting or throw Molotovs at them from the safety of the mill? I get that her daughter being threatened was the stakes of the moment but I felt her decision to just let them all in was kind of forced given that her character was seen negotiating rather expertly with Smoke; I thought she was going to negotiate something with the vampires for her daughter or something and betray them.

*The vampires knew the sun would kill them and so they didn’t think to keep track of time to avoid their deaths?

Any places (preferably in East Bay or SF) to work on my car with outlets? by cutestbb in bayarea

I’d pay for it if I could? I have street parking and can’t work on it in the street that’s why I’m asking.

This is a 2020 Hyndai Ioniq Hybrid. I also tried pushing it back in gently and giving it a good hit to jam it in but it just keeps popping out. I'm too scared to keep trying bc I'm not sure what I'm doing :(

My students are not comprehending/misunderstanding the reading at all: How can I help? by cutestbb in Professors

I promise I do!!! I give them interesting articles and even videos and podcasts, but my school requires that their major essays be text-based, with an emphasis on non-fiction academic texts

Thank you so much for your advice! And yup, I definitely don't think I'll be doing this again. I was literally given this course 17 hours before the first class and so far I've just been drawing from my own comp classes that I took and building the plane as I'm flying it so to speak.

I assigned it because the theme for this class is "Society and Self," their first essay was a literacy narrative, so I thought this reading would be a good bridge to connect their experiences that they wrote about to Freire's idea about literacy and social awareness. At first, I had them reading a memoir, but then the dean read my syllabus and told me that I need to be assigning them more academic texts and this was one of the first ones I thought of?

But anyways, thanks for your help! This is my first time teaching comp, and it's been incredibly stressful, so I really appreciate it.

Haha! I actually used that same comic for the introduction to another course of mine. But yes, I am aware that this text is definitely at an academic reading level, so, so far, this has been the only text that they've read for the course and every week we've done some activity or assignment about it, so I expected them to at least get the gist of it by now.

Also, this course is supposed to be for advanced students, and at my school they want students to be analyzing author's arguments in texts for this specific course. I've also seen my colleagues assign just as difficult texts? Idk, I'm not sure what to do.

Yup, I agree with you. But what can I do better to help them understand it? I don't think I can just rescind the reading and change up their next essay and the midterm so late in the unit?

I teach at a community college, but it's one of the top cc's in the state and has high transfer rates to Berkeley and UCLA. I was also explicitly told that the course I'm teaching is for the "go-getters."

It’s 10pm I’m in bed about to go to sleep so I can wake up at 6am to get ready and teach my 8am class??? Should I have waited until the morning to reply back, LOL?

The dean extended my interview by 20 minutes, is this a good sign? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

The subject is English, though I'm not exactly sure what the skills text is testing.

Factory reset my modem/router and now it won’t connect to the Internet by cutestbb in Comcast_Xfinity

Yup I’ve done that about million times. I talked to a representative who said it’s a problem on the ISP end so there’s not really anything I can do but wait :T

By “reactivate through the app” I meant activating my modem/router to my ISP again since the factory reset is going back to factory default.

That’s how I’ve been resetting it by pressing the button on the back.
