Random notes I found in my notebook (who would have thought)
Don't want them to read because they might get ideas. Oppressed by culture because I might get ideas. Freedom of Christ. This freedom is opposite of what American culture is. Deciding what we read. Required to read U.S. literature and history, promotion of nationalism. People's complacency to sit and be brainwashed. "Turn on the boob tube, I'm in the mood to obey, so lead me astray." Desire to be identified as individuals yet be a part of a group. Developing a comfort level with the ambiguity. "If you cannot tolerate ambiguity, you cannot wander freely in this world," Weeks said.
