However, later on in Friere\u2019s commentary, this quote stood out to me \u201cPeople teach each other, mediated by the world, by the cognizable objects in which banking education is owned by the teacher\u201d(Freire 4).  It made me reflect upon the book, <em>The\u00a0Illusion\u00a0Of\u00a0Life<\/em> by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, and the teaching methods that Walt Disney would use on his employees back in the 1930s.  This quote seems to be a direct application to Friere\u2019s own proposal: \u201cWalt could always show you exactly how the business should be done, but the animator was expected to go further with the idea, to come up with something of his own, some[\u2026]that would make it not only personal but special\u201d(Thomas, Johnston 41).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When examining the contents within Friere\u2019s work, I noticed a rather cynical and bitter observation of the \u201cTeacher-Student relationship\u201d: the student simply receives the information while the teacher just drops &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/uncategorized\/the-illusion-of-life-the-banking-concept-of-education\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span>Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">\u201cThe Illusion of Life\u201d &amp; \u201cThe Banking Concept of Education\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53\/revisions\/54"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
