== 8) Please read the following description of what is commonly known as "The Butterfly Effect": <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">In <span style="background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; padding-right: 10px;">[|chaos theory], the **butterfly effect** is the //sensitive dependence on initial conditions//; where a small change at one place in a<span style="background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; padding-right: 10px;">[|nonlinear system] can result in large differences to a later state. For example, the presence or absence of a butterfly flapping its wings could lead to creation or absence of a hurricane. Although the butterfly effect may appear to be an esoteric and unusual behavior, it is exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a<span style="background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; padding-right: 10px;">[|ball] placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position. The term "butterfly effect" itself is related to the meteorological work of <span style="background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; padding-right: 10px;">[|Edward Lorenz], who popularized the term. The butterfly effect is a common <span style="background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; padding-right: 10px;">[|trope] in fiction when presenting scenarios involving <span style="background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; padding-right: 10px;">[|time travel] and with "what if" cases where one storyline diverges at the moment of a seemingly minor event resulting in two significantly different outcomes. The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the <span style="background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; padding-right: 10px;">[|atmosphere] that may ultimately alter the path of a <span style="background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; padding-right: 10px;">[|tornado] or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in another location. The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale alterations of events. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different. While the butterfly does not "cause" the tornado in the sense of providing the energy for the tornado, it does "cause" it in the sense that the flap of its wings is an essential part of the initial conditions resulting in a tornado, and without that flap that particular tornado would not have existed. ("The Butterfly Effect", wikipedia) ==

10) How does this compare to the "Butterfly Effect"?
It is different when comparing to the Twig Theory because the butterfly effect talks about how one small thing can make a big impact like the example that was given about the butterfly not flaping his wings and in not doing so something big happened like a tornado

==The dakota has had many things that has happen to it during its time. when it was built it was the only building that was in the area. They found a lot of gold during that time in Dakota so during that time the person who made the building named it the Dakota to attract the rich and elite class. The building might have been made some type before 1880. Also at the time it was rare for rich people to live together since there was so much land in the USA rich people live by themselves in big houses so this was to lure rich people into living together.==



**__Interview__**
What are the different from tech then and now? There were no computers or cell phones back then. If you were writing a paper you would write it on electrical typewriter

What was the style back then? Men wore platform shoes and bell-bottoms, men also had long hair / side burns

Was the 1970’s hippies time? Yes it was tied in to the vienment war it was a rebellion against the values of the war. A lot of people were against it and they wanted peace, wanted to love each other then hate each other.

How were transpirations back then? The transpiration was the same they had buses and trains, a lot of gratify on the subways.

What was the biggest type of music back then? The rolling stones were pretty big back then, a lot of rock music was pretty big back then

Effects from the war? A lot of the men that came back were wounded were on drugs and a lot of the people who were against the war didn’t respect the men that came back from the war. There was a lot of anti war demo’s

How was the gang active and crime? I think that the crime rate was worse in the 70’s and much more danger then there is now.

It seems that life back in the 1970’s was much different from our modern way of living. One thing that Deb said was how in the 1970’s there were a lot of crimes and gang activity and when you compare that to now how it has gone down a lot since then. One thing that remain almost the same would be the transportation they still had bus’s and trains to get around in the 1970’s.

 * Gender || Men || because for the most part of history women didn't really have rights so if u were to send them back in time they might not get all the information because of how it was back then. ||
 * Background || A middle class modern person || Reason being they might be more open minded to different things then if someone was really poor or really rich. ||

b. Look up the definition of “subjective": pertaining to or characteristic of an individual; personal;individual c. In your own words, compare these two terms: Objective is dealing with just facts with no feeling in it and subjective deals with more of the person feeling and thoughts. d. If you read an autobiography to learn about the past, is this an objective or subjective source? Explain: A autobiography tends to be objective meaning that it will just stick to the facts.

2. Analyze the following quote by answering a and b below: “Photographed images do not seem to be statements about the world so much as pieces of it.” a) Translate this sentence into other words photographed images are not so objective and they tend to be more subjective and just showing you what they want you to see  b) Interpret what this sentence means (hint: “…//do not seem to be//…” is key!) photographed images don't capture all the facts sometimes and some of the things that they are capturing might not be true.

3. Read the following text: “Historians often regard photographs as a critical form of documentary evidence that hold up a mirror to past events. Public and scholarly faith in the realism of the photographic image is grounded in a belief that a photograph is a mechanical reproduction of reality. Susan Sontag captured the essence of that faith in her monumental reverie //On Photography// when she wrote “Photographed images do not seem to be statements about the world so much as pieces of it.” And in arranging these pieces to form historical mosaics, teachers and scholars have rarely paused to submit photographs to the usual tests applied to other forms of documentary evidence. For example, we have been trained to factor in the subjectivity of the author when we read autobiographical writing. But when we encounter an historical photograph, “shot for the record,” we often treat the image as the product of a machine and therefore an objective artifact.” a. Summarize the main point(s) of that passage: the main points was that historians think that photographs are key documents to unlocking the past but some people think that they are not the key thing but just bits and pieces of the past.

Text continued: “Since they are regarded as inherently truthful, photographs are frequently used to illustrate history textbooks. Publishers, not authors, usually select images to accompany history texts, and the images are used merely as illustrations and not as historical documents in their own right. As a consequence, today’s history students miss out on the opportunity to explore the fascinating visual dimensions of the past, to play detective with a mountain of photographic images that far outnumber traditional written documents. This essay seeks to lay out strategies for subjecting photographs to the same tests we apply to written documents when we use them as historical evidence. Exercising such scrutiny, students can bring to light the narratives hidden within images that are not always examined, despite our traditional belief that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” (from History Matters <span style="background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; padding-right: 10px;">[] ) b. Summarize the main point(s) of that passage: the main points was how history students today miss out on the picture aspect of history because they tend to be not so trustful but how they do have some photographs that sometimes connect to the text

4. The above text states “…students can bring to light the narratives hidden within images that are not always examined…”. Brainstorm 4 or more questions a historian should ask (then research) in order to get at the “hidden narrative” within **//any//**photograph:


 * 1) why was the picture taken?
 * 2) where was the picture taken?
 * 3) who's in the picture?
 * 4) who was taken the picture?
 * 5) when was the picture taken?

5. What is the “hidden narrative” within Jacob Riis’s photograph Bandit’s Roost? For help you can refer back to the website we used last time: <span style="background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; padding-right: 10px;">[] When Jacob riiss took his photos there were not always true to what he was saying. his photos were to reflect the harsh living conditions and also crimes and gang activity that was happening in the city, so if people were to see these things they would try to do something about it to change it. but even though the photo might have looked like this it was not true at times.

6. So, describe the “truth” that documentary photographs depict (//in general-- not just that one photograph!//): I think that the photographs have some type of truth to it. for example Jacob Riiss photo might have been wrong but his idea of there being harsh living conditions are true. The photo he showed might have looked worse then what it really was but the idea be-hide it is true. when it comes to the truth in photographs the photo might not always be right but the idea be hide the photograph might be right.

<span style="font-size: 1.3em; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">**The Stories that Photographs Tell**
1) A. There are 10 people in the photo. you have some people that are standing outside and some people that are looking out the window. from what i can tell you see that there are mostly just men outside and only two girls that are looking from outside the window. you can also see that they are not really doing much just waiting around. There are also a lot clothes that are hanging in the background. You also see a guy holding a stick, also the people in the photo do not really look happy at all they just have that blank look on there faces.

B. This is a photo of men standing in the street and also two woman looking out the window.

2) A. I think that this photo was taken along time ago based on the clothes that the men are wearing. also from the clothesline it kind of shows its old because now a days most people don't use them. I think that this place might have been a poor place maybe like the slums. also looks sorta like a alleyway of some sort.

B. the slums

3) I think the person wanted as to see like some sort of gang in some way, and in the photo you can kind of get that impression because of how the men are standing and also how none of them are smiling in anyway there just looking all the same way with the same emotion.

4) jacob riss was born in ribe, denmark he than <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">emigrating to the United States in 1870. he first worked at south brooklyn news and than in 1877 he started to reported for police in the new york tribune and he was known for his photographs and journalist talents. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAriis.htm

5) "documentary photographers were active agents searching for the most effective way to communicate their views" what many photographers tried to do when taking a photo was to show there view / message as best as they could so every photo has a message that the photographer wants you to see in his eyes.

6) i think that the take away from this is that depending on who takes the photograph is how you might end up looking at the photo through there eyes because since they are there at the time there the ones who can set up the photo anyway they choose for you to than see it from there point of view.
