Stickiness

In my opinion stickiness is when you remember what you read right away. When an article is "sticky" it has a instant affect on you and you remember it quickly. These article have something about them that just sticks in your head. Most of the time you don't have to re-read these articles because they just have an instant effect.

I do agree that some articles can be sticky. For me there is some things that just stick. When i watch some TV shows or read something that i like a lot i can remember some lines of it right after i see it. There is some episodes of the show scrubs that after the first time i see the episode i can re-site lines of it instantly.

Stalking

For me i think that the stalking experiment in the library was a very useful for writing. I do because what it helps us with is learning how to write about what we see around us. What we are practicing is writing about what we see around us. What we are stretching is our creativity because we have to be creative on our feet. We are training, strengthening, and conditioning our minds to see what is around us or what someone is doing and transferring it onto the paper and writing something about.

What the dog saw

In "what the dog saw" the writer talks about human to dog interaction and human to human interaction. Throughout the essay he is arguing that dogs and people have to know that you are the authority. They have to know that you are the boss and that they are not in control. What he also argues is that your posture and how you walk and how you present your body matters. If you look scared and tense the dogs will get defensive and that is when they attack. If you are calm so will the dogs. When two dogs see each other they will first look at the owner of the other dog. If that owner looks scared and is holding the lease very hard that is when they start to bark because they think they will be attacked. If you are calm you will the other dog.

The triad of "exercise, discipline, and affection" is the key to understanding this essay because you need all three to have a good interaction with dogs, or people. If you don't show them love they most likely won't love you back. But if you don't show discipline they will always take advantage of you and they will never think that you are the boos and you will never have good interaction.

Litany Answer

Is he making fun of the original writer?

I think that he is making fun of the original writer. I think that he thinks that the comparison that the original writer makes don't make any sense. So he then starts to make comparisons that also don't make much sense. He then at the end repeats what the original writer says to try and make fun of him even more.

Chelsea's questions

When Jackson compares hypertext to a moving vehicle does she mean it can easily be changed unlike a book which is "in search of a place of rest?"

I think that Jackson is trying to say that a hypertext can easily be changed and that a book can't. I think that a moving vehicle means it can change because when you are driving it is easy to change where you want to go and you can turn around or change your direction very easily. I think that a book is "in search of a place to rest" because once it is printed you can't do anything with it. That particular book will always be the same and it will never be able to change. Once it is printed all it can do is find a place to settle down and sit there.
