Chaucer & Phonar Nation Notes

- The way you speak and how you speak define who you are in English culture. 
- Chaucer is telling the story about Canterbury because it is supposed to be a spiritual journey. 
- Characters are promised a feast. 
- This is a satire: using some humor or anger to direct attention to a topic that needs to be improved. 
- Chaucer is considered The father of English literature. 
- If you want to change the world learn a new way to describe it 
- Habits define who we are. They are intentional. 
     Ex: Success is a habit 
- A photo is bound by experience and the image is bound by evidence. The term is the same. The user is composing something! 
- Business models change how we see a photo. 
- We are no longer telling the stories of our pictures, our pictures are telling the story of us. 
- Describe new media in terms of the old. 
- Old picture: Multi color or black and white. At a moment in time. Unchanged. Bound in a frame. 
- New picture: Changed. Various arrays of color. Describing instances that happen over a certain period of time. 
- The essential point: stories will not be told in the same way! 
- We now have the power to talk back to our literature. 
- The hypocrisy of a society that poses as one thing and functions as another. 
- Phonar matter in 3 ways! 
   1. We all learn differently. 
   2. Telling the stories differently gives us          a chance to make something. 
   3. Connects us to a community that is           doing likewise all around the world.
