the Handmaid's Tale 1-49

Well so far im a bit lost. this is what i have gotten thus far though. the world has changed alot. Women have very few rights and are given statuses. The handmaid's are able to have kids so they are brought to houses of important familys to have kids for them. There was war with alot of chemicals used and alot of people were sick. She dosnt like her life and remembers how things were before. she misses her husben and kid. the lady of the house dosnt like her. she has chores to do and dosnt like haveing to ware a red rode dress thing and hat. other places in the world are not as modist.

MacBeth Acting

Acting out parts of this play helped me to know what was going on. I will mostlikly never be a big fan his work but i can understand it better now. I enjoyed watching others rather then doing it myself but all in all i think it went pretty well.

MacBeth Act 1 scene 4-5

My two characters are Banquo and Lady MacBeth, Banquo only have one line in this sene and he is responding to the kings inquary. he responds with "There if I grow, The Harvest is your own."
Lady Macbeth has a lot more lines in the sec. part. She is reading the leter MacBeth has sent her from lines 1-12 then from lines 12 to 28 she is talking out loud about her ideas and what she will tell Macbeth.
then the messanger comes and he tells her the king will be eating at there home tonight. this is when she then for the ability to kill the king and to become like man. then MacBeth comes they talk alttile about the idea of kiling the king then MacBeth leaves and Lady MacBeth says she will take care of things.

MacBeth part 1

A lot happend in the first part of this play. The three witchs made their prosecce and MacBeth got honerd for being a good killer. Macbeth is alot different then Shakespears other charactors. He is a dark brouding type of person. By the way I realy dislike MacBeth sorry.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. Jenna Feiler

What? I dont get it. I have read this a few times and I'm lost. I thought that maybe it was about a man geting oder and was thinking about the years gone by but I dont know if that is at all true. Sorry this blog is going to be short because I simply dont know what this poem is about. I like it though I think although I'm still just plain confussed.

Leda and the Swan; Daddy - Jenna Feiler

My blog for "Leda and the Swan" and "Daddy" might have a little bit of a different take then most. I took a full year of Greek Mythology so I know in the poem "Leda..Swan" Leda is getting raped by the great god for the sky Zeus. Zeus is known for the way he cupples with mortal women and produces mortal heros that do great things. This peos shows how extreamly violent Zesu was to Leda and how she had not means of escape. 

Daddy, this peom was about the WWII and the Halacost.The narator for the peom thinks for he dad as unvincable, almost god like and when he dies it effects her greatly. Also her fauther is a Nazie and she beleaves her self to be at least a little bit jew or gypsy which were treated as harshly as a Jew was. I am Gypsy and i have anstors that had died and where marked in the camps by there number. Anyway in the end of the peom the Girl fianly is about to seperate herself as a person from her seroundings.

London and the Chimney sweeper (jenna Feiler)

Both of these poems talk about the pore in London and how life is hard for them. The chimney sweeps get sick and die from the ash they breath in and the pore people suffer. there are many kid that are abandoned weather it because there family's can not feed them of simply don't want them. I like both poems but in general I'm just not that in to poetry. Hopefully this unit will help me appreciate it better.

The Ones Who walked away from Omeles and Harrison Bergeron -Jenna Feiler

Omeles is such a sad story! It makes me sad that everyone in the story knows about the pore little girl and no one dose anything to help her! I woud never beable to go threw my day knowing that my happieness is because someone else is suffering! I think thoughs that walk away might fell the same but if it were me I would take the little one with me! People need to make there own happieness. Its so sad this story makes me sad!!

Harrison Bergron is also sad! The fact that the goverment have taken everyones free will! the equality acts are awful! That is the grentied way to stop progresstion of socitay. People have no choice to obay and thoughs that fight are locked up! Harrison knows its worng and when he brakes out of his bindings and sets a dancer free they danced on the TV to show every one what beauty was again! then they are shot and killed and every one that saw them danced has there minds wiped. It is such a sad message that people are so enviose of what others have that no one is able to enjoy it.

Paper Topics -Jenna Feiler

Paper topics.....Well i Was thinking of doing my paper on the door from "A rose for Emily" but I did realy love the "Tell Tail Heart" and the "lottery" its hard for me to chose!!
 I think I might want to try and write about the Door. It keeps coming back in my mind but I'm not sure what kind of paper this is ment to be so at the moment i think i am going to go with how the door not only is seeling in her secrets but is also a symble of how she has been traped her whole life. so she traped and sealed in her "Love as well." Let me know what you think!!

The Lottery, and Young Goodman Brown -Jenna Feiler

I would like to start out saying that Young Goodman Brown made my head hurt! I have never really liked or understood this story very much even though I have read it many times. For what ever resin it just really doesn't sink in for me. But anyways I will explain what I have gathered from "Young Goodman Brown." Goodman is a newly married man that for some resin decides to leave is new wife "Faith" one night to go wondering in the woods or to take care of so business.....something. When he gets there he meets a creepy stranger with a walking stick and decides it would be a good idea to take a little stroll with him into the woods. As they are walking Brown mentions how his Father and grandad are pure and faithful believers and how they would have never gone on this sinful journey. This stranger, (who I'm going to call Satin) Tells Brown that both of his father and his grandfather were close friends or something. Any way Browns family wasn't as great as he thought. On this little walk Brown see people that a important in the religious community walking on the same path of sin. He wonders why such pious people are walking down hells highway. He decides that he isn't going any Father down the path with Satin. So he sits down and Satin gives him his staff and tells him to rest and after he is better to keep walking. Brown sits a while then decide to keep going. When he gets to the meeting he sees Faith, his wife is there and she has changed. she doesn't have her pink ribbions and she looks older and wore out. Brown is upset by this and feels he has lost his "Faith".  There are alot of people at this meeting to be baptised for the devil and when it is his turn he tell Faith to look to the lord and not to give in. The is jumps or something because the next thing i understood is he was walking threw the town seeing the people from the night before acting normal and Faith finds him she seems fine to. He doesn't know if what happened the night before was a dream or really happened. He is torn.
I think the Aurthur called him "Young" Goodmen Brown to show how naive he was to the world and then at the end his life was less black and white.

Now for the Lottery, I enjoyed this so So SOO much more then Young Woodmen Brown! This story even though it is clearly messed up doesn't start out that way. The author doesn't make the Lottery seem like it would be a bad thing to "win." When i thing Lottery I always think of money or a new car or something nice or good, but in this story you don't want to win. Getting back to the story. The day of the lottery is presented as a festival of some sort were the kids gather rocks and family come together in the town square. There is mention that there use to be a lager amount of ritual with the lottery and now is more strate forward. The head of the house goes up in ABC order and takes a piece of paper from the box. you cant look at it tell you told and then the family that gets the paper with the black spot has to draw again. Every one in the family have to pull a slip, even the small kids. The one from the family that draws the black spot again gets stoned to death. Sounds really awesome! NOT!!!! The thing is they don't really explain why the Lottery even goes on. Is it superstition, tradition, or just a messed up sicioty? The fact that the kids gather the stones and the family of the person that gets the black spot has to help stone them. The women in the story has pebbles trown at her by her toddler son! That is creepy! and then the town just goes back to the way life is every day like they didn't just Kill a member of there county. What a great story! :)

The Yello Wallpaper! Jenna Feiler

That is one crazy Chick! Good storey though, there are a few things I didn't quite get.  The first thing was why she got put in there in the first place? I caught that she had, had a child with John. Did she has a brake with reality after having the baby and then it was only made wost by going to the house? In the begining of the story she dosnt come off as that crazy mainy sad. But by the end she is BAT SHIT CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The end of the story confused me a bit but after reading it a few times i think she though of her self as the women in the wall paper. She didnt want others to know about her in the wall and wanted to free her self. It freeked me out how in the end after peeling off the paper she was carwling along the wall and some how killed John and just crawed right over him. Creepy! I just thing of a demented lady "creeping" crawling at me across a room with crazy in her eyes. What a awesomely messed up story!!

The Tell-Tale Heart

The Tell-Tale Heart, wow Edgar was a really messed up guy. Even so I really enjoy his work. He is really a torcherd sole to be able to write the stores he dose. In this story the man speaking never really says who he is or why one day he decided that the "old man's" eye was so disturbing, but from the very start you can tell this man isn't quite right up stairs. The way he repeats him self and says over and over how he is NOT MAD clearly states he feels that he doesn't fit in. If he was okay with him self and the things he had done he would not feel the need to justify over and over again that what he did was right and he isn't mad at all. He clearly thought the killing out before hand do to the fact he stocked the sleeping old man at night and once he had been killed how he dismembers the body with out a drop of blood being spilled. body's aren't the easy to pull apart. One thing i didn't understand about the killing is how he did it exactly.... when he put the bed on him dose the mean he pulled the mattress off and smothered him or did he truly pick the bed up and crush the old man to death with it? I love how in the end his cockiness bit him in the ass. If he would not have been so sure in him self he would have gotten away with it. I think that the "heart" he heard might have been a little bit of his consequences sneaking up on him.

A Rose for Emily -Jenna Feiler

A Rose for Emily, wow what a creepy story, I loved it! I'm a big fan for storeys that have demented, distrurds and just plain messed up people in them, and in my mind Miss Emily is truly one of them.  I remembered reading this story in high school but I had for gotten about it till I started reading it again. I find it sad about how Emily's Father controlled her so much and how she was pretty messed up strate off the bat. I wonder though if Emily really needed to kill Homer Barron? He seemed comitted but then again he might have just been messing around I don't know. It shows have messed up Emily was though when they found Homers body's in cuddling mode with her hair on the pillow. (some one is a loony) She had been snuggling up to that pore mans corps for years. I'm glad that in the end that slave left. Even though I'm sure working for her messed him up greatly.

Myself and English

Becca Matt,
This is my first "blog" so I'm not quite sure what to write. My last English class was something I just wanted to get through. My instructor was very nice and fallowed my accommodations well. Part of my problem with writing is my spelling and grammar. I use to love to write when I was younger, I would tell my parents to write out what I tell them and we would make storeys together. I have always had large imagination but as I got older I found that writing my storeys was stressful. I always had to have the read, revised, and criticized by others to make them understandable to the reader and therefor it to the magic and spirit out of what I wanted to create. I soon began to dislike writing and disliked others reading my tails even more. I would get so embarrassed to let people look at them in case they would see a misspelled word or rotten grammar.
   
As a result of this my relationship with writing has disintegrated. I write when I must and work hard to meet the requirements that are expected of me. However I do not enjoy the writing process and I only do it because I must. I am sorry if I sound like a martyr or a spoiled child when I explain about my relationship with words but that is how I feel. I want to get my joy for writing back because I have some great tails to spin but as I get older the more worried I have become about my writing flaws. I wish I could get back the confidence of my five year old self that never knew a criticism or critique.
