Humans. Humans do that. They use words, signs, and signals, and other humans either understand the representations or not. The key is that people making representations have to agree what represents what. Problems happen when they think they do but they don’t. Which is often.
This happens quite a lot when we read things from the past. Ideas or words can reflect a previous time’s understanding and this if often different from our own. It can be very hard to read at times, but can also be important to understand the current moment, the past, and how we got to where we are now. All of this doesn’t make the racism in Huckleberry Finn good. But this question sounds like it might start a good class discussion!

IDK. But in Italian, that would be dov’è mia moglie? One of my assistants had to dredge that phrase from memory (before the days of Google Translate) to get sympathy from a gun-wielding member of the carabinieri while parked in Rome where he shouldn’t have parked. A great example of the value of learning a foreign language!

Great question! I’ve watched students study with music (through their headphones) and also ask my helpers and me for silent space so I guess it depends on which has helped you study better in the past. I suggest try both and then decide. As for snacks, my Post-it Note diet keeps me full and energized to answer questions like yours so I recommend it.
I’m sorry to hear about this. Bigotry is NEVER okay. If you have personally experienced bigotry or saw it happen, I suggest reporting it to the Office of the Dean of Students (https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/offices/studentaffairs/sites/dean-of-students/about/contact-and-hours.html)
1979 https://bit.ly/1979MCIS, all day long. There is so much bombast on this record that its a relief to hear a stripped down, heartfelt and hazy pop song. The guitar playing on this track is a delight!
