googling what deleuze's version of becoming meant.
As Deleuze and Guattari explain, the process of "becoming-" is not one of imitation or analogy, it is generative of a new way of being that is a function of influences rather than resemblances. The process is one of removing the element from its original functions and bringing about new ones: I interpret Deleuze's definition of becoming in the sense of added newness to something that is already apparent. It is not about creating something similar but instead adding on something new to make it better or improve or even the opposite. The state of becoming is something new based off an element that was already functioning.

Cultural shock: the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone who is suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life, or set of attitudes.

Cultural Value: the core principles and ideals upon which an entire community exists. This is made up of several parts: customs, which are traditions and rituals; values, which are beliefs; and culture, which is all of a group's guiding values

These words relate because every culture has different cultural values people going to new cultures feel cultural shock.

"liquid modernity" Zygmunt Bauman “For Bauman, postmodernity is the result of modernity's failure to rationalize the world and the amplification of its capacity for constant change. ... Instead of referring to modernity and postmodernity, Bauman writes of a transition from solid modernity to a more liquid form of social life." He was a Polish Jew, sociologist, and philosopher.
I Interpret this as the world should constantly be flowing and moving with thoughts perspectives and ideas. We should not have one solid meaning or perspective on everything. We should keep moving and growing.

Reader-response theory: Reader-response theory recognizes the reader as an active agent who imparts real existence to the work and completes its meaning through interpretation.
The reader is essential to the meaning of a text for they bring the text to life. The purpose of a reading response is examining, explaining, and defending your personal reaction to a text
just like what were learning everything is about perspective and interpretation. What gives the reading meaning is the readers interpretation and response to it.

Reader-response criticism is a school of literary theory that focuses on the reader (or “audience”) and their experience of a literary work, in contrast to other schools and theories that focus attention primarily on the author or the content and form of the work.
The definition I gave to reader response was similar to this meaning. However, my definition focused more on the importance of this. Everyone interrupts every text and every image differently. Therefore it is good to see other perspectives of readings and what they thought to understand other perspectives. It's interesting to view and author's response to their own reading and see how it differs from yours, and what they intended for you to feel.

Even Silence and Non-Cooperation
When googling even silence and non-cooperation the word omerta popped up. Omertà is a Southern Italian code of silence and code of honor that places importance on silence in the face of questioning by authorities or outsiders; non-cooperation with authorities, the government, or outsiders. To be completely honest I am unsure of the meaning behind this. I understand the code of silence to keep from incriminating yourself, and not giving in to authority at all times. However, I'm having trouble elaborating further on this.

'passion of the mind' (Susan Sontag). This study provides a critical introduction to her essays and fiction, illustrating how her aesthetic and political concerns are shaped by her role as a public intellectual within the New York tradition. This reminded me of the Reader-response theory: Reader-response theory recognizes the reader as an active agent who imparts real existence to the work and completes its meaning through interpretation. In this book, she discusses a lot of her own perspective while also using fiction.
