(2006) demonstrated the relationship between AES and instructional activities associated with writing. AES is not without its detractors. Ericcson & Haswell (2006) performed a comprehensive critique of the technology from the perspective of those who teach postsecondary writing. Objections to the technology ranged from a concern about the ethics of using computers rather than humans to teach writing to the lack of synchronicity between how human graders approach the rating task and the process by which AES evaluates a writing sample to failed implementations of AES in university placement 5 testing programs. And clearly there are certain types of stylized text writing that AES may never be able to evaluate. Nevertheless, AES is now used as a scoring process for Automated Essay Scoring 10high-stakes tests (e.g., GMAT) and is provided as a common
mistaken. There were no other eyes like those in the world. There was only one creature in the world who could concentrate for him all the brightness and meaning of life. It was she. It was Kitty." Levin again realizes his most sincere feelings are stemming from his heart, not his brain. There is no time to analyze; his heart has told him what he needs to do. Incidentally, right before he sees Kitty, Levin meets a young married couple who are very much in love. He realizes that the harmony and synchronicity they share is exactly what he is missing in his life. Not coincidentally, this is what he anticipates with Kitty. Chapters 12-23 Karenin is at his wit's end with his wife's affair and doesn't quite know how to handle knowing that his wife is an adulteress. He considers both challenging Vronsky to a fight and divorcing Anna. He decides against both of those options, going instead with what will be the easiest: pretending in public that everything is fine between him and his wife
come. T h e hero may just get fed up with things as they are. An uncomfortable situation builds up until that one last straw sends him on the adventure. Joe Buck in Midnight Cowboy has simply had enough of washing dishes in a diner and feels the Call building up inside h i m to hit the road of adventure. In a deeper sense, his universal human need is driving him, but it takes that one last miserable day in the diner to push h i m over the edge. SYNCHRONICITY A string of accidents or coincidences may be the message that calls a hero to adventure. T h i s is the mysterious force of synchronicity which C. G. Jung explored in his writings. T h e coincidental occurrence of words, ideas, or events can take on meaning and draw attention to the need for action and change. M a n y thrillers such as Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train get rolling because an accident throws two people together as if by the hand of fate. TEMPTATION
intelligence that manifests as a universe unfolding in time. The whole is made up of existence and Being, the manifested and the unmanifested, the world and God. So when you become aligned with the whole, you become a conscious part of the interconnectedness of the whole and its purpose: the emergence of consciousness into this world. As a result, spontaneous helpful occurrences, chance encounters, coincidences, and synchronistic events happen much more frequently. Carl Jung called synchronicity an “acausal connecting principle.” This means there is no causal connection between synchronistic events on our surface level of reality. It is an outer manifestation of an underlying intelligence behind the world of appearances and a deeper connectedness that our mind cannot understand. But we can be conscious participants in the unfolding of that intelligence, the flowering consciousness. Nature exists in a state of unconscious oneness with the whole. This, for
