My second experience with James Geary greatly differed from my first experience. Throughout my first experience watching the TED talk, it took me a while to fully understand all the examples and specific metaphor that were given. I understood the main ideas and thoughts about metaphors Geary was introducing however did not grasp the entirety of the whole talk. During my second experience with Geary as I was annotating his whole transcript from the TED talk I got a deeper understanding of what Geary meant. Every single metaphor example was clearly spelled out for me, allowing me to annotate and add my own thoughts. As if having a conversation with Geary I layed out my opinions and concerns as well as questions about his text that confused me. Ironically as I continued reading some of my questions were answered as if we were partaking in a back and forth conversation. During my second experience, as opposed to my first, I became deeply fascinated with the specific experiments he talked about. This kept me thinking about all humans different ways of thinking and how sometimes with the same “push” can be persuaded into thinking very similar. Although I wasn’t watching James Gaerly on screen for my second experience I felt more connected and immersed in a deeper conversation with the man, who I had never met or heard of before. Annotating allowed me to organize my thoughts and gave them to me easily accessible to the point I was able to understand and think deeper about the subject than I ever had during my first experience.
