Parallels that I see between or among the readings and sources is that they all have to do with being understanding and empathetic. It interest me that these people are coming to realizations that understanding others and feeling emotions of others and sharing experiences can really change people.

I believe that the main argument Adrian Chen is trying to make in “Unfollow” is that as humans we tend to “make fire with fire”. By this, I mean that when we fight hate with hate; there’s no fixing or stopping the flame if we keep adding in more fire or in this case, more hate.

She says that she doesn’t notice their disfigure until she is up close to them to see all their sores. Jamison sits with them and asks them, the women she finds, how they feel and how…

In Velasquez-Manoff’s “Is Hawaii’s Racial Harmony A Myth?”, he claim’s that his essay does not offer a coherent whole because he wanted to explore the things that make Hawaii unique without the myths so he could talk about the contradictions. What Manoff wanted to achieve in his essay was that there are many claims and opinions on whether Hawaii is a racist place or not. The essay has contradicted opinions from people saying it’s a happy place to be and…
In Moises Velasquez-Manoff’s “Want To Be Less Racist? Move To Hawaii, he talks about the story of Dr. Pauker’s experience with leaving Hawaii and going to school out in Dartmouth. Manoff examines his interest in the subject of racial attitudes in Hawaii and how he developed these ideas for this article came from Dr. Pauker. They both talk about the idea that race is “a way to feel out of place.” When Pauker was applying for colleges, she felt that…
