used fei as money, never had to move it when they wanted to trade it for equal value

verbal culture

wealthiest people on yap own the largest fei that no one has ever seen

similar situation went on with the french and their gold

money is only worth how ever much of a certain thing you can buy, ex. potato chips

Monday Feb. 2nd

important to do re writes on even non portfolio assignments

new mechanic and writing tabs

you is not allowed, we are not instructing anyone what to do in an essay

throat clearing- over preparing for your essay

make your audience want to keep reading by making it relatable not just unstructured information

make the beginning intriguing with a mystery or slight background

no I believe or in my opinion, should be designed to persuade people of your point of you not just focus on yourself as an individual

background information is only valuable as persuasion

purposeful summary- choosing to relay to the reader only what we need and what is necessary from an authors work

chose one or two counterintuitive topics that spark your attention

invest abstract comments with something physical

make the reader think about things as if it is jumping out of your paper at them and they have it in their hands ex. stone money
