Brings to mind
Reminds is the third-person singular of remind—to cause someone to remember or think of something.
A person reminds you of an obligation: She reminds me to take my pills.
A thing reminds you of something else through association: This song reminds me of summer camp.
The construction always takes an object: someone or something does the reminding, and someone else is reminded.
