Reaction Paper 1

Memory is very useful in our lives we use it everyday and you don't even realize it. Memory we take advantage of it when we can remember where are house is. Just the simplest
things can not done without memory. Working with elderly has had me look at how you can remember your daughter and the next day you don't know who your daughter is. The things you do everyday can trigger what you remember where you put something and you could not find it. It is very impressive that are brain can take its own pictures and remember it. The brain is almost like a SD Card and it just stores it on file.
The way Kim explained memory is that you need to keep some kind of record of what has happen in your life so when you do need to sort out when certain events happened you can. As soon as we remember something it connects to the next and brings on a whole new picture. Your memory is always growing it may be cloudy sometimes until you reconnect two together. When you look and pictures you remember what you were feeling at that moment. The feelings you have when you look at pictures might be hard to handle.


My favorite pictures would have to bePrague by Patrick Faigenbaum(left one) and Boy and mask by Jerald Frampton. They are trying to be sneaky and they look like they are trying to make a plan of some sort. This picture makes me want to know what they are planning or talking about.It kinda looks like the maid and a rich guy. The second picture is just to cute, the little boy is scared of it but his curiosity wants to get closer. He wants to touch it but is a little unsure on what is going to happen if he touches it.
