 Hello everyone so on Tuesday we talked about Emily Dickinson and how she is still alive due to her writing and our brain remembering her name. But what about all of those people we don't remember, whose names we have forgotten or do not know. Are they completely dead because we don't remember them or still alive in the sense that they are the unnamed people that we try to figure who they are. I don't know if I'm making any sense but i read this article about the youngest boy that died during WWII. That through records of his sister they figured his age and name and now fully know his story and contribution to WWII as a ships boy. Now knowing his name they were able to place a gravestone with his name so that his resting place is recognized throughout all of the many lost soldiers that some we still don't know who they are. And now that we have figured his name, where he rests, his story, has this boy come back from the "dead" or has he always been alive. 

Otherwise our other discussion about the nervous system was great. I enjoyed reviewing the nervous system and placing them all in boxes that are within boxes that are within boxes. Although of course like Lauren and probably others I'm am totally confused about outputs being created to get inputs. How do these outputs get started? Are they random or controlled or just a mixture of both? What usually occurs when outputs begin inputs or the general processes that these outputs are used for? Can't wait to find out more, hopefully answer some of these questions but i guess we'll see if there really is a less wrong answer.
