paradisal as in "paradise-like," artifacts of domesticity would be like an ironing board or sewing machine, and totem refers to the sociological concept. A totem is a tangible representation of group solidarity
I am a bit confused about how we are predicting 1. how the passage is going to go and 2. what type of passage it is. What happens if you keep reading and the entire passage is actually about the colorists? It seems like we know that his passage is a spotlight passage so we approach it as one. But what about when we don't know? Each type of passage just feels so similar to me in practice that I am unsure of how to approach it. Anyone have any tips?
Something just occurred to me. At times I struggle to read a paragraph and decide what's really important. Sometimes this stuff just doesn't stick. I'm seeing now that if you stripped away all subordinate clauses, relative clauses and prepositional phrases... and read only subject-verb-object you could almost get to the main point there alone. does anyone else do this? I taught Classical Greek and Latin adjunct at a college for a few years and am a real grammar nerd, so I'm not betting this approach resonates with the majority. But diagraming these sentences as I read them is one way to make the information more sticky. Just an idea out here in the comments.

@caldepp686 This helps me, too. Sometimes I highlight just those things to strip everything down and just have the primary points clearly shown.
Not me saying "not unlike anthropologists"...ptsd from a previous passage
getting bridgerton vibes from this passage
I was about to say the same exact thing about the first paragraph.
