1) A passage that stood out to me was from page 380, where the cousin stated "I can derive from it the most varied scenery of town life, and my mind, and honest Callot, or a modern Chodowiecki dashes off a whole series of sketches, some of them very bold in their outlines. Come on, cousin! Let me see if I can't teach out at least the rudiments of the art of seeing." I found this passage particularly relevant, because it helps show the different ways that the two see the world. Hoffmann described the market as "a single mass of people squeezed together tightly," whereas his cousin seemed to observe the market less as a singular mass, but in terms of the individual people. His cousin sought to show him a new way of observing something that he had seen many times before.
2) While reading this text, I found several similarities to the Levater reading we did earlier in the week. Mainly, I saw these similarities in the way that the cousin was making assumptions about people based on their exterior presentation. It resonated a lot with what Levater was arguing, about how the exterior shows the interior of a person.
